Welcome to Gaia! ::

(crap did this in reverse my b)

Piper was on a break after the backbreaking work that was trying to break the drawbridge. Frankly she was ready for something more exciting to happen again. There was only so much one could derive fun from when it was just hauling crap to and fro, all the time being beset by monsters and chickens. When you fought five wyverns at a time, tasks like those quickly became something of a joke.

If a very, very, very annoying joke. Mind you, she dragged her heels nevertheless, as if she was new to it all, and her heart still beat quickly like a coward's when she thought of facing the monsters alone. It was only numbers that kept her confidence up.

Her nap was broken up by the missive to go out on another quest. Rolling her eyes, Piper cleaned herself up (grabbing loose chicken feathers out of her hair for minutes on end, the damn birds), grabbed her gear, and hitched a ride out of Camelot as soon as she could. The sooner she finished, the sooner she could get back to her sweet nap.

The forest was foresty. The trees were full of leaves and not elves or spiders, and that put Piper on high alert because if neither of them were there, then something worse was bound to come her way. That was merely how the world operated now.

Except instead she found more food. She guessed her previous prediction was a lot more truthful than she expected? Maybe she needed to consider her past life as a clairvoyant instead of a bard...

Whatever. YAY FOOD.

By the time she reached the top of the hill, Piper was just about done. Mad about her horse deserting her, she was going to reach for her artifact and just pout her way back to Camelot--but the old man was there again, with his generous offer of food. Quirky or not, she was grateful for the break and smiled when she thanked him.

At least the food wasn't dirty. Waving goodbye, she turned and made her way back home, eager for that nap.
