Lost in a big castle. [5/1|Late Afternoon|Abrielle, Adrien]
She'd wandered for the sake of wandering. Crying the whole day, her loss heavy on her shoulders, she kept to herself after the ceremony was over. It always seemed that the wounds that were her parents deaths just kept getting ripped open. Memories of them were still so fresh in her mind it was hard for her to understand that she'd lost her only ties to the adult world.
Well she had her aunt and uncle now, even her uncle Osiris seemed to want to help her, that was comforting. It was just difficult. Her mother was supposed to tell her about boys, help her pick a cute one, now she was left to wander alone and wonder what it would have been like if her mother lived and was here with her now.
She'd grabbed a book from the shelves in her sitting room, stroking the spine, she'd read the author's name aloud. "Renilde Leiham. Odd name." Abby was accustomed to talking to herself at this point, she'd been alone for so long, maybe she was loosing her mind.
Abrielle had finally happened upon an empty room, she'd no idea where she'd wandered to but that really didn't matter, it had a fireplace and nice fluffy chairs. She'd set down her book in a chair and then set to work starting a fire. She didn't want to bother a servant, they were all much too busy as it was almost dinner time, she could do it herself.
