Bisciye

Her men did not like Pandora’s antics, and became less trustful of orders. Being a young lady has made it bitter for the men to be interrupted on their fun for sneaking into the coronation. No battle was fought, and they believed that Pandora had followed false orders to Nascot. They were convinced that being spoiled by the riches of being a noble, would not possibly understand the difficulties of sacrifice. They soon bickered over orders between arriving at Clermont or Bisciye.

“Orders were to station at Clermont.” “No! You fool, you’re going to march us to death.” “Nobody is going to be stationed at Bisciye!” “My wife can pummel all of your wifes’ faces.”

Pandora was deeply upset by this, but decided to keep her eyes on the cold dark trail uprooted by enormous trees. It was daytime but the shade created by the high tops of overlapping branches had severely limited the amount of light reaching the ground. A few of her men tripped over some roots, only to curse at a pagan god and quickly recover from their steps.

There was a clearing of the woodlands, transitioning into grass field. Seeing multiple tents, Pandora was relieved. She let her men settle in a tent of their own to rest, and led her horse to the fence where other horses were able to be refreshed with running spring water. Pandora gave her horse a gentle head rub before leaving.

Pandora had her blade sheathed made into her belt. Besides the soft chain mail layered over her torso and under the military coat, she was rather unprepared and cold. The tips of her ears had turned pink and you could see her breath condense whenever she spoke. She entered what seemed to be an occupied tent with a knight and his squire.

“Ser, I am Pandora de Pooh Dame of Bescanon- my men have just arrived from Nascot. Are there any rations left for my men? We are on our way to Clermont at sunrise.”

The space was cozy and cold kept out by the fur that prevented the breeze from entering. Pandora had recognized the name of the noble whom exchanged letters with from her first few days of becoming a dame. The chance of meeting by chance always loomed in the back of her mind, but could not fathom it happening in the moment.

Daario had much softer features than she had imagined, though she was correct that he was very tall. Upon examining his features, she noticed an intensity to his gaze that emphasized the fullness of his long brown lashes and brows.

She hesitantly looked down at the hand reaching out to her, not fully understanding the gesture. Curious, she glanced at his squire’s reaction for a cue. Was he nervous for her to make contact with a respectable knight like Daario?

His presence had made it bearable for Pandora to carefully take off both her gloves to avoiding adding abrasion to her hands. Her palms were slightly roughened with redness where her finger joints and palm met from the trip.

She holds onto Daario’s hand lightly, while he nudges her in a back and forth motion to hand shake. Pandora did not want to make eye contact as she was shameful and content from the brief moment of shaking hands. In comparison to Daario’s hands, Pandora’s fingers were slender, smaller and colder. The warmth of his gesture warms up her hand slightly in the process and she was thankful for it.
