1. Sitra

    Private Amidst Tomes and Squires

    The pursuit of knowledge was one that Sitra had always preferred to undertake on her own terms - in her own fashion - and she had possessed even less of an interest in doing so when it came with the expectation of playing librarian and labouring on menial tasks for the benefit of moldering...

    Private It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work

    As though waiting for any excuse to put aside the task that was proving to be more tedious than Sitra would have liked for a day as warm and lovely as this one was, there was very little hesitation in doing exactly as she was bidden; and she soon moved to join the scarred woman at Norvyk's side...

    Private It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work

    The story was a long one, that could not be denied. Thankfully, it was a story that the squire, sitting at Norvyk's side, found herself wholeheartedly engrossed in. And how could one blame her? The world was not a fanciful place when one's life was so rigidly bound by rules and expectations...

    Private The Step Taken

    Sitra's expression had softened after Bebin's admission of wanting to return to the Sheraz Mountains. It wasn't lost on her that the question she had asked of her cousin touched on something a little more personal. And she could not tell if that wistful gaze upon the horizon was one of...

    Private The Step Taken

    Sitra felt a little wave of relief wash over her as her cousin had let her finish without interruption, and had not criticized her for the non-answer, just as he hadn't bothered to make further inquiries about the earlier words she had spoken. That was good; she had no intention of elaborating...

    Private The Step Taken

    The words Bebin had spoken were meticulously listened to and considered by his cousin, and Sitra had nodded in return when he'd finished. Although she remained otherwise quiet; if her expression was anything to go by, it was clear that at least a little bit of her attention was reserved for the...

    Private The Step Taken

    Sitra mulled over what was said with that same look of quiet, introspective seriousness as before; something that most people in Astenvale would have gotten accustomed to by this point. That was, only if they happened to share more than a precious few words with the young woman. She did...

    Private The Step Taken

    Mama. That word was one that she was perfectly familiar with; she did not understand the nuances of Sherazi as Bebin did, but she thought she had followed along well enough. Mama. The uncle from the mother's side of her family, so yes, she supposed it made sense. But to imagine the man standing...

    Private The Step Taken

    Sitra allowed the tension she had felt building up in her shoulders to deflate in the aftermath of Bebin's greeting, not having expected her cousin to be so... personable. As a matter of fact she hadn't the faintest notion of what to expect, and so was undeniably taken aback by the nostalgic...

    Private The Step Taken

    "Squire," The voice was entirely unfamiliar to her. It was not one belonging to any of her tutors, nor was it one she recognized as one of her peers. The fact that this stranger was no doubt a knight proper had startled the young squire out of whatever casual response she might have been ready...

    Private The Step Taken

    Sitra wasn't feeling too disheartened about her lack of success so far in spotting her intended target; it was still early in the day, after all. And while the discovery of her cousin would have been a wonderful development, it was only one of two reasons why she decided to spend her free time...
  12. Sitra

    Private The Step Taken

    Today was the beginning of the rest of her life. How grandiose of a statement for how little fanfare greeted the start of it; the day's idle humming of birdcall hardly did justice to the tumultuous years leading to her arrival at the gates of the Astenvale Monastery. The abode of misfits and...

    Private It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work

    Honestly, the only thing that Sitra was better at than demurring was knowing when others were guilty of doing the same; there was something in the way that Petra had looked at her then, deftly sidestepping the squire's question so that she could instead nudge Sitra towards the bucket containing...

    Private It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work

    The rumbling disagreement from their third companion inexplicitly put the squire a little more at ease; her features softening into something resembling an actual smile this time around, and she proceeded to make a face of wry amusement at the lighthearted banter directed at Norvyk. Sitra had...

    Private It Ain't Much, But It's Honest Work

    Nobody ever liked being caught when they thought themselves unnoticed, least of all Sitra who had considered herself rather discrete. But whatever brief flicker of panic that might've flashed in her eyes was promptly smothered beneath a serene smile and a careful, polite nod. As flighty and...
