Sadis lifted herself up on her tiptoes to try to see over the crowd, biting her lip as she tried to get a glimpse of the people walking off the transport.
Today was the day, and what a perfect day for it; the sun was shining, there were only a few puffy clouds to speak of, and the gentle breeze offered relief from the sun if one was sensitive to such things. It was a shy late spring for Tae'Sha, and it was the perfect display of the planet's natural beauty.
She was growing a little frustrated, she had been here early in the day, not wanting to miss the transport and not knowing when it would arrive, just that it was today - and now it was here! Yet she could not see.
Kintalla was supposed to come home today, he had been on a job-related trip for the past three weeks now, and she missed him - it was so lonely at home. She didn't feel quite secure, she just couldn't relax alone - after all, they lived near a forest, and there was always the threat of a pack of darhyms attacking - and though she had weapons, she couldn't carry them as they were unwieldy to carry when she might be exposed to the danger, and she wasn't strong enough to fight - and not strong enough to fight much anything, not just the darhyms. She... just didn't feel safe without him. That was part of the reason she was barely able to get any sleep - the other being that... it was just so cold at night alone. And when sleep did come, the dreams were fitful and disturbing - one had even been about Kintalla having an affair... it was awful, though she knew he was too kind to do that to her. She had awoken to weeping.
She tried once more to jump, though she could not jump high, nor for long enough to discern what she saw, she just hoped her merry red attire might easily be seen by him - one of the reasons she had chosen to wear it.
Where was he?
