Re: Long and Winding Road (EM, Maze)
"I suppose we do build divisions at least as easily as connections, yes. I suppose it just feels strange, for the first time, seeing those divisions among Mekham when held up next to the greater differences with all those from much farther away that I see here." The Nomad skirts a pool of something,...

Re: [D3 LA] Thwap!
"Well, I was pretty desperate at the time, so not really a _fun_ story." She waves a hand toward the clouds upwind. "We'll be getting the rain to add to the wind soon enough, but probably not quite the same as your monsson, I imagine. We mostly hunker down for storms too, though. We're not very used...

Re: Long and Winding Road (EM, Maze)
"Often? No. Hmmm...we tend to take a somewhat dim view of outsiders. But there have been those who have proven themselves." She thinks a moment. "Families like mine have temporarily hired outsiders...though they usually try finding folks from other families first...for things like helping guard the ...

Re: Evening Gratitude (LE House of the Heavens)
Lamis nods once. "I'd come along, yes." Another nod. "And meeting here tomorrow to leave after prayers suits as well." There's a small moment, glancing between the two of them, but there would be time tomorrow to see what their connection was, including, perhaps, working together to rob foolish out ...

Re: Long and Winding Road (EM, Maze)
"And you, Sayyeda... is it your first time in the city? From what you've said in the temple, I'd guess your people travel often, 'alays kdhlk? Eh... what was your people's name again? Asif for my memory... and also for the curiosity. You've said you share most of the work, then? So there's nothing ...

Re: Long and Winding Road (EM, Maze)
"Not a lot," she admits, glancing down an alley. "The competition field, the market, the temple, my rented room in a much better quarter than this, and the streets along the way.." It's not actually cold, but she finds herself wanting a cloak to pull around her a bit tighter, feeling out of place, a...

Re: Long and Winding Road (EM, Maze)
Lamis feels far less of such things, Fate is invisible. Luck you can at least see the hand of when it touches you, but it's hard to see it coming. Her coins are tucked in a pouch beneath her caftan, as being of little use on this trip, and her knife is easily to hand. She doesn't trust this city. An...

Re: Four Feet to the Target (LM, The Desert, Observation/Conversation)
Al-Haddar untied one of the bags and handed it to the archer lady. It was a very simple thing, a single ply of garish fabric twisted and knotted into a bag. Good enough to store and carry a reasonable, though not by any mean generous, quantity of pistachios as it was doing right now, but of too poo...

Re: Four Feet to the Target (LM, The Desert, Observation/Conversation)
"Ah milady, they've been roasted to perfection at dawn per the cooks of the Cat's Tail, a prestigious establishment at the crossing between the River and Merchant Quarters. You won't find any better on this side of the desert. 5 pools for a handful, 20 for a bag." He points at a series of small clo...

Re: [D3 LA] Thwap!
"lella's probably fine if you're not offended by ser, but Lamis is the proper name to attach." She grins, caftan sleeves cracking in a gust. "Monsoons are...the windy season? Do much hunting then? I once tempted every god there might be shooting into a sandstorm. Which was stupid on several counts, ...
