All I want is one more chance to be young and wild and free
One whole year of searching, and she’d failed. She hadn’t even found the slightest trace of her dearest friend.
And now, there isn’t anything else she can do. She wouldn’t even know where to go next in the search for Sette, so there’s only one thing left for her to do. Go home a failure.
She slinks into the field, head low, shrinking into herself. She tries to avoid the gazes of the horses gathered, keeping her brown eyes trained on the hoof-trodden grass. She’s desperate to avoid any Amazons that might be out on the hunt for recruits - she doesn’t want to have to face Lagertha with nothing to show for her year of searching.
She makes a beeline for the trees on the far edge of the field, slipping in to the shade at the edge with a quiet sigh. Here at least she can keep an eye on those approaching and if she notices an Amazon tattoo, she can make a quick get away into the woods at her back. It’s shameful she knows, to be acting like this, to be avoiding Lagertha. But she wouldn’t be able to bare seeing that look of pain and disappointment on the Khaleesi’s face …
Vi shudders, and in an attempt to distract herself, leans down to take a mouthful of grass. It has little of the desired affect, but she continues to munch, keeping one eye trained on the field around her. Considering what she’s heard of the field, it won’t take long for someone to approach her, but she isn’t even certain of what she’ll do when someone does. Does she want to risk a kingdom? There’s still the slight chance of running into Lagertha or another Amazon on a diplomatic mission. Or, does she want the quiet, dull life of a herd mare …
Neither truly appeals (she just wants Sette, but she has no hope of finding her). But she’ll have to pick one. Anything is better than returning to the Jungle after all.
Kingdoms will be a very hard sell, definitely no Amazons.
Also, replies might be slow for a bit.
