Tanda - Upon entering the dining room:
The door opens. A tall, slender young woman
steps into the room and pauses, feeling eyes upon her and an
oppressive, achingly quiet atmosphere. She reaches up to push long and
heavy, wavy black hair over her shoulder, revealing high cheekbones
and a face lightly tanned a golden brown, the smooth skin marred by
faint red scratches. The lack of lines around her eyes, mouth and brow
suggest she is not accustomed to displaying her emotions visually.
Her body tenses when she focuses on the man sitting at the
head of the table. She stares at him, and for a moment, it is as if
they are the only two people in the room. Bitterness spreads over her
features, then she sags imperceptibly, her expression collapses into
disappointment, and she looks down from Gerard's hulking form, her
long dark eyelashes shielding her light coloured eyes.
A swish of silken material fills the silence as she walks
slowly towards the table and the only vacant seat. A slight limp
breaks the fluid grace of her movement - she favours her right leg -
though the loose, dark green pants flowing from her hips to just above
her booted ankles, make it difficult to see what ails her. A sash of
the same colour wraps a slim waist and over it, a well-worn black
leather belt from which hangs a short sword. The belt and boots have
seen better days, as has a relatively plain scabbard. The sword
however, looks well cared for and as she moves, an embossed design on
the pommel catches the muted light, but it is difficult to discern the
design.
