[Mini Event] Solace from the Dark

Tala was still uncomfortable staying with Delphine and feeling like she was perhaps intruding, not to mention the inherent discomfort she had with staying in a rigid house rather than the comforting pelt tents she was used to. It had been almost relieving to hear they were going to the academy for LongNight, so that at least she didn’t feel she was a burden upon someone’s home.

She’d lashed her quarterstaff onto her backpack so that she could carry a basket full of bread and everything else Delphine had asked her to help carry to the academy, and then trekked along beside the blonde woman towards the interior where the academy lay. It was easy enough to take everything she owned with her since it was how she always lived, but somehow she was still anxious that she might’ve forgotten something. The prospect of spending many days inside a building, with many people she didn’t know, intimidated her like crazy. She kept as serene an expression on her face as she could manage.

After placing the basket where Delphine directed her, she broke away and went to the bed in one of the dorm rooms where she’d be staying. She stashed her backpack, swords, and staff under the bed, though kept her pair of bone daggers in their holsters on her hips so as not to leave herself completely undefended. It made her nervous to leave any of her stuff unattended, but she kept her most important items in the pouches she wore anyways.

Once unencumbered by her pack, she wandered back out to find Delphine, and found her standing beside Noah. She was surprised to see Korbin there too, and offered a small smile. ”Hello again.” She said, then looked over Noah and Delphine as well. ”What can I do to help?”
