The day was cloudy and cold, the land still blanketed white with snow. A lone black raven sore through the air, its screeching call broke the silence that seemed held in the snow. A small village was not far off, no more than a few cottages, a small tavern and a couple trade shops stood in the path.
It wasn't much but Elira called it home for the moment at least, she and her mother came here to lay low after escaping over the wall, no longer could they call themselves Freefolk . They were passing themselves off as travelers, having recently lost their father and husband they were looking to make a new life here. At least that was what they were telling people.
She had just came from a morning of hunting, her mother needed furs to sell so she had to hunt for them. She could even sell the meat for a fair price to the tavern owner. Today she had managed to find a few Rabbits and a white fox. Not bad for a few hours of hunting.
As she walked into village she blinked noticing a man dressed in the black cloak of Night watch. Could the Crows be looking for them? Had they been seen? She swallowed and tired to turn back intending to take a different route to her and mothers cabin. But then..
"Elira? What meat do you bring to sell today?" said the voice of Moyrin the tavern owner who happened to be clearing snow from the entrance to his establishment. He was a kind man yet perhaps to kind and he had a tendency to ramble about nonsense.
Elira swallowed a curse and turned to face Moyrin hoping the Crow present paid her no mind.. "Rabbits and a Fox Moyrin.. Not ready yet though we still need to treat them. I shall bring them home and prepare them right away" she said hoping he would let her leave.
"Of course dear girl, be off with you then" he said with a grin letting her go.
But then he turned to the Crow in question, " Her and her mother do wondrous work with the hide of animals, Don't waste a thing, they even make decent clothes the keeps the frost out.. Around here it is saying something" he said clearly being a fan of her work.
Elira glanced at the crow thinking it would be suspicious if she didn't at least say something "We must make living somehow.." she said with a shrug.
