Snippet #1294281

Kadence gripped her bag nervously as she stood in the courtyard with the other women and three men. This was definitely not what she expected; being surprised once for being told the truth of why they were there before they entered the gates, then surprised again as they were greeted by these three men and not a vicious demon. Listening to the man laying out the rules of this place, she couldn’t help but get a bad feeling the more he spoke. She was going to have to be careful until she knew more about what was going on, but she definitely did not plan on staying here long; first opportunity she found, she was going home. Shifting her weight from one foot to the other, Kadence tried to ignore the beast behind her. They were too close to resembling vicious canines, which reminded her of wolves; forcefully making herself not reach for her daggers out of habit of stress, Kadence watched one of the women retrieve one of the scrolls.

Following suit to retrieve a map of her own, she looked over it and wondered what the rooms in a place like this would look like; and though she hated to admit it, she was hungry. Before the villagers brought her here she had been out hunting and only had enough time to pack her things. Hearing the woman from before speak up about joining the adventures to the rooms, Kadence smiled and raised her hand. “I’ll take up that offer, I’m less likely to not wonder off and get into trouble that way.” Trying to laugh off the tension she felt over the situation, she stepped forward with her things. “My name is Kadence Starling by the way… come to think of it, I think I’ve seen you around the market; you’re a hunter as well, correct?” The least she could do right now is get to know the other women who she was stuck with, because at the moment she was not liking the idea of being stuck in a castle with these strange men.
