The small one had been hearing bits and pieces about the Feast of the Two Moons.

Among the Llothgarians, white was the color of being light of heart, of celebration.

She took a the long, sleeved white linen dress and put it on. A ruddy, red sash was wrapped about her waist a couple of times and tied off at her left side.

Then a short-vest she had decorated in needlework with flowers, leaves and more, she drew about her breasts and tied it in front before she tucked her feet into her boots.

Fingerstips alighted against the pendants worn -- a cat's eye and star burst -- before tucking them under. While Panther rested, she pulled the long lengths of her hair aside and braided them loosely. When it was finished, she gathered self up and took with her the short, brown cloak of hers.

A note was left for him, that she would be at the festival in the markets. Gentled smile was as much at her lips as it was in her heart to look to him. Then she stepped out, pulling the door closed well and quiet behind her before heading off in the direction of the feast.

The Feast of the Two Moons had been greatly enjoyed, though the small woman found she had done less feasting and simply enjoying being with friends. And Panther.

He had surprised her, since she thought him to be resting, when he had showed up at the festival in the markets.

She smiled to think on him, as well as Connar and naevein that he been spoken with as well. A fortune had been told by one of the Tellers of a great snow storm coming, confirmed of what the dockworkers had been talking about for over a week's time.

And to learn that the usually veiled naevein seemed to have enjoyed the time out of doors, with her veil off and lanterns all around.

There was more, surely to be learned of the bell-wearing naevein. And if courage might be gathered to do so the next time or more their paths met, she would dare to ask some questions of her.

S'jira sat on the chair within the bathing room, not yet dressed and combing her wet hair thoroughly before spiced oils were taken from one of the many bottles kept within that room. She liberally worked the oils over her arms and legs, chest and the taut plane of her belly and hips while she distractedly thought of the previous night's events.

She was mourning a little for Connar, thinking of his words about quiet moments being sought with others. And she frowned. She knew well that he meant that he wasn't sure to dare to try again and could only suspect that when he and the Lady Elessaria parted ways, it was more than wrenching of his heart on the matter.

Then gathered self up, flesh still glistening and soaking up the oils, she put the vials and toweling cloths away before stepping back into the bedroom to wake a certain, beloved feline sort from his sleep. It was morning.. and time to rise.
