Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taveling wasn’t the most exciting of things, nor, was it the safest for a woman. Chosen with a guardian or not, she wasn’t exactly armed aside from her small dagger, and Eris while ready to put up a strong front, wasn’t the most vicious and deterring companion to have should criminal be on the road. Granted, any criminal that was foolish enough to brace this cold was either desperate, or, the were suicidal. Possibly both given how as she shivered from a sudden gust wind that felt like it went right to her bones. Thick coat or not, nothing seemed to keep the cold out these past few days.

Readjusting the bag over her shoulder, Merry looked at Eris. If anything, the former barwench was glad Eris was kind enough to let her ride. The snow in her shoes wasn’t a thing merry was fond of. The sound of something coming up at the crossroad grabbed Merry’s attention, looking up to seek the source. A cart, hooked up to a deer, heading towards the town just as she was. Go figure. Eris paused briefly before moving forward, her own curious and cautious nature making the dow’s movements a bit stiffer, ready to spring.

And possibly buck Merry off. But unlike Eris, Merry wasn’t exactly thinking that whoever it was was going to hurt or attack them. “Excuse me, you headed to Palisade?” Merry motioned to the buck. “M Merry by the way, she’s Eris.” The doe blinked, still unsure about the strangers.
