The shard in her hand was a puzzling, dangerous thing, but it did not change her circumstances overmuch. This she knew, accepted, and set aside, and moved on.

She had been pleased with the baths, overzealous with the opportunity that she had scrubbed her skin raw, and the patches that had already been wind-raw and chapped were scrubbed bleeding. But her nails were clean, finally, and trimmed, and she had been fed, and given new warm clothes. All her needs for the past month had been immediate, and narrow, and to have them met all at once was overwhelming. She had needed to calm herself, stepping into in an alcove off the baths, her own tama’s voice murmuring suffering is a choice, and then what serenity she had returned to her.

She assessed her situation.

She could find some small purpose here. They had no children, and perhaps she was not fit to care for them anymore even if there had been, but she was strong, and good with numbers, so they would find something for her to do, even if she was not and could not be infantry. But for now, in this moment, she might sit on the small bench and then go find someone to give her a task. In her hands, she turned over the small tin of horn balm, shoulders hunched as she thought, her nails clicking against the metal.
