It would have been nice to have been in Rharne, sharing a wine skin with her brothers, maybe even mustering up enough courage to finally ask a man to dance, knowing full well she'd stumble and likely crush a few toes in the process. Instead, she was at Storm's Edge, listening to...

Horse-apples dried into disks of fuel burned in Dan's small hearth, giving a thicker, muskier, scent to the rising smoke than woodsmoke offered. More disks sat on a makeshift rack in the sun, drying into more fuel, the output of a good morning's work. He'd parked his open cart and...
