The thought of wine still nauseated her. Since Samhain the woman had no appetite for the alcoholic substance and so it was fortunate that the work in the vineyards had very nearly slow to a halt for the year. Still some wine aged in hand crafted barrels, but Nayru only had to check the stuff every now and then, make sure it was still there and undisturbed. It was this small task she had just completed as she moved away from the mountain side, seeking the fresh and calming air of the sea.
It was not only wine that nauseated the two toned lady. Most days meat—the cooked meat she had become accustomed to--churned her stomach. Nayru found that only the coppery taste of a fresh kill could satiate her and even that at times was rejected by the woman's fickle stomach. Whatever virus had invaded the woman's vessel had quite a hold and seemed to be growing in strength; it was on most days now that she woke with the sickness at its peak. That very morning she had left a large pile of bile and half digested matter outside of wine cellar that she slept in most nights now.
Now it was midday as she came up to the shore and Nayru found the warm and sloppy feeling moving up her body again. The heave from her abdomen sent the small amount of food she had managed to keep down flying out of her small face. As the mess met with the ocean Nayru watched with watery eyes the chunks float away. Sinking to her knees the small girl curse whatever parasite was wrecking such havoc upon her body and blessing whatever entities it was that kept the others away from her and her sickness a secret and private matter.
