Sonje by Sie!
Sonje stayed in Halifax for the upper portion of a week, not choosing to live permanently but rather spending her time wisely, collecting things she needed and wanted. She'd mostly gathered small essentials: a tin canteen, a fringed quilt (to replace the tattered blanket she'd been hauling for months), a small assortment of weapons and some decrepit cans of food that was surprisingly still good. Her favorite would of course be her weapons—the dagger named Viper and Black Mamba, the sword she didn't know how to use yet. Jagga carried everything on her broad back, and in a hanging knapsack, as they walked side-by-side down into the warehouse district again. Luperci and horse.
This part of Halifax was easiest for Jagga to maneuver in, so this was where Sonje spent most of her time. She visited the harbor once or twice when she was tired to looking around, but now she kept to her steed's side, not having to guide her as they marched towards the warmest of the warehouses, where they'd been sleeping the past few nights. But as they walked, the wolfdog became aware of all the noise Jagga's hoofsteps were making, so she made the mare stop only to realize that another clopping sound was filling the area. Stay,
she told Jagga, who tossed her head unhappily but remained awkwardly off to the side of the road. Sonje grabbed her dagger, and loped a street over to observe the source of the noise.
Maybe she'd been hoping for something to hunt and kill (as her diet mostly consisted of warehouse rats these days), but she stopped when she noticed the dark-furred horse had a two-legged companion. She placed the knife in a makeshift rope-holster on her thigh, and stepped out onto the street with her empty hands clearly visible. Doing some shopping?
she asked, cleverly benign (knowing very well that this might be a dangerous encounter); the younger looked carefully at the tall, gray-backed woman and her stallion.
