[IRP] The Dead One Calls

[Lavi]

It seemed as though the amount of time she spent traveling did nothing to improve her ability to handle the current journey. Cecily was more accustomed to sitting in a carriage, where she could comfortably rest without having to worry about where she was going. However, since she was commanding her own horse from the saddle, the noble had to actually pay attention to her surroundings for hours at a time. She found herself savoring every break that the group took along the way.

Her long hair had not been well cared for as of late, so the stench it collected had been getting on her nerves. However, she has not seriously considered cutting her hair yet. Cecily had cared for her hair for over a decade, only pulling out the scissors to trim the ends and keep her mid-riff length hair at a consistent length. The only way Cecily could keep her mind off of the smell of her own body was to chew on berries that the group managed to forage along the way. At times, she wasn't sure if the scent she smelled was herself or her bodyguard Satsume.

"I'll settle for a cold bath at this point," Cecily responded to Shad's question with a slight sigh.

Cecily was torn between the thought of resting and making camp now, or potentially having a place to wash out the grime at whatever house that Shad is referring to. In either case, she wanted to be able to rest for longer than what it would take to have a quick meal.
