“Hi! I am aware merchants don’t typically make loads of coin, so let’s say I give you all of these four gold coins in exchange you would be so kind then to take me to Koiki?” She stood toward the side of young man’s merchant wagon, a brisk smile on her face. Her blonde hair was short, reaching just below her chin. Her blue eyes sparkled in the morning sunlight. She looked to be in her early, perhaps mid-twenties if you pushed it.
He had spotted her rather quickly as he rode over a hill, and she walked on the opposite side. At first, it seemed as though she was fearful of him, or as any young woman would be. But then, she waved, smiled, and walked toward him.
A strange woman… in a maid outfit… in the middle of nowhere…
She wore a typical maid uniform, her black long sleeves and black skirt catching Noa’s eye as he wondered what in God’s name was a maid doing asking for a ride in the middle of absolutely nothing. There weren’t even trees around in their vicinity. As he glanced at her, he could not leave a young woman alone in such a place.
The way to Koiki however, was long, it just happened that Noa was on his way there to sell bags of flour. He supposed it wouldn’t be trouble to take her there, her smile as well trapped in his decision.
I could buy a new saddle for Sara…
“There is room in the back. I must stop in Kowa first.” She handed him the small golden coins and headed to the back. She carried no luggage, something that Noa once again, thought was very odd.
