Saartjie
The days had passed by, but they were little more than a blur. It had started raining the day she had arrived in Caido and it hadn't let up yet. It just helped the days blend together one after another until she lost track of just how long she had been there. Long enough for the bruises on her arns to fade completely, but the ones on her face had not completely gone just yet. They were far less severe than they had been, only a slight discoloration now and the pain was gone. Still, whenever she passed in front of a mirror and saw her reflection she saw them and she couldn't help but think about the events that had led to her arrival in Caido. It was bittersweet, to say the least.
Saartjie had heard Sunjata moving around the house, but had not gone out to see what he was up to. Instead, she sat by the window and watched the storm and thought about the drastic turn her life had taken. Her noble blood wouldn't matter anymore, but that wasn't what bothered her. What bothered her was the she was wholly unprepared for a life outside of Korofi. Being brought up the way she was she had never learned how to cook or to clean. She only knew what all noble girls were taught and none of that would be of any use here.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door, a creak as it edged open and the sound of Sunjata's voice as he called her name. Saar turned from the window and was surprised to see her brother carrying plates of food into the room. Her stomach growled because she was hungry, but she was too surprised to answer that question. "You can cook?" She asked, slipping into the comfortability of their native tongue, as she moved closer to get a better look at the plates of food.

but close my eyes for a while
and force from the world a patient smile
