the road less traveled
Having come accidentally into the Court to resupply herself, Willoughby was amazed at what she saw. True to her innocence, the maiden fair did not so much as glance at political uphauls. If an announcement was to be made, she kept largely to herself and did not mind it much. She did not belong to any court in Novus, and wandered between them if allowed.
Today, the celebrations were in full swing. She stocked some of her food items where she could not scavenge, refilling her purse selling trinkets found and entertaining the masses when needed. She felt there was a good crowd and good signos to be made here. But that wasn't what caught her attention. A bouquet of flowers - made entirely of water foliage.
Lotuses were among some of her favorite flowers, and to see this in the rare bouquet was too much. She approaches carefully, eyes shining with radiance. But the price for it, ah, was too much. She backs away regretfully, bumping her flank against someone else. "Ah!" Willoughby starts, gasping as she whips around "I am so sorry..."
Hopefully she would not be reprimanded.
