Casa woke with a start as a heavy drumroll of thunder echoed through the Lower Caverns. Blinking blearily, she rolled over and sat up slowly, glancing around the room and squinting as her eyes adjusted to the dim light. It was clearly very early morning; everything was still and quiet, except for the heavy rain pouring outside. She shrugged into her tunic and trousers slowly, a yawn creeping from her; after a moment, she slipped on her boots and begin to quietly pad out of the sleeping quarters, absentmindedly flipping her furs over the bed in a half-earnest attempt to straighten them out.
She ran her hands through her hair and pushed the thick mess out of her face as she headed for the kitchens; chances were, a small group of the kitchen folk were awake, prepping food for cooking. With the heavy rains, chances for going out into the garden were diminished to slim, so she might as well help with what there was to do. Slipping into the kitchen, she made a beeline for the klah pot, pouring herself a large mug.
Sipping on the mug and wrapping her fingers around the mug appreciatively, she looked over the workload. It looked like sweet rolls were an option, and there was fresh fruit that needed slicing and prepping for the breakfast rush. She got to work, picking up her knife and beginning to slice the pile of succulent and juicy produce waiting for attention. As she worked, she thought about her dreams; she had been dreaming of dragon wings, before the heavy sound of the storm outside had pulled her back to reality. She wondered idly what it was like to actually ride on a dragon as more than a passenger. Having lived around them her whole life didn't mean she'd ever ride one in that capacity, after all.
Shrugging off her musing, she loaded the sliced fruit onto a tray and grabbed a basket of fresh rolls. She sidled out to the dining area, setting it down in the nearly empty room along with the pot of klah she had kidnapped. Might as well enjoy the quiet before the girls woke up, she mused as she wrinkled her nose and sipped from her mug with a soft sigh.
