This afternoon was a different one, for Naya was assigned a whole lot of chores that would usually be carried out by both she and her mother. But that fall back at home had resulted in her being bed-ridden while her leg healed, and thus Naya found herself shouldering the full load of the errands and responsibilities, especially the ones that could not afford the luxury of waiting, and after a full busy morning of preparations of getting the Weyr’s supply of bread and pastries out and ready for the public, she finally had the afternoon to do the washing of the all laundry that had accumulated over the last several days. After announcing to her mother that she would be at her favourite spot by the lake, Naya took her basket piled with laundry and headed to the lake.

When she approached her favourite spot, she happened to see another woman there who was cradling a young baby in her arms. Getting down beside her, she started to sort out the different pieces of clothings before she bothered to disturb the woman who seemed to be in a trance of her own. “That’s a nice child you have there. How old?" As she asked, Naya started on her washing not bothering to wait for the other woman’s reply before she started. She had plenty of clothes to wash, and if she didn’t get back soon, all the chores would continue to pile up.
