wide smiles bearing teeth

(313) She's wearing her crazy outfit, for reference.

The truth of the matter was that Siv had undergone a retreat since the battle with the invaders. While she had made a point to gift Eris’ daughters and thus the Auxiliary herself, other projects had kept her from performing many tasks beyond those assigned. Working with the slaves was a tremendous undertaking, but she adapted to it well. While the man she had captured was utterly devastated by the news, she had soothed him with sweet words and the promise of protection. As long as he did was what asked, he would not be harmed—this simple concept was reinforced by the sight of Darijus and Siv’s warning story about his wounds. She would not do such a thing, but there were certainly others that would…and the threat was enough for Gjalda.

Following the death of Verusha, the witch-woman had given Draugr slightly more freedom. She was allowed to do as she pleased but warned about the borders unless accompanied by another. Siv often suggested she spend time with Eris’ daughters, an arraignment that pleased her. If the now-talkative girl could find friendship with the leader’s children, she would be easier able to adapt to this life. With no memory of a world outside of it, Siv did not doubt such a thing would be simple for her.

Today, though, Siv had needed a respite. Eris had been using the slaves for her fishing project and Sirius was in arms about the incident in Ichika, so a trip outside of their borders was one the Family member sought. With Hildr tacked, she mounted and rode north. It was a fast ride, one that invigorated both rider and horse. They slowed only when the horse scented an unfamiliar wolf and whinnied a warning challenge. While not in Salsola’s territory, the old nag was fiercely protective of “her” herd and did not enjoy strangers.
