Nevani was still out of sorts from having survived the landslide. It wasn't that she was a stranger to death, so much as that she took it deeply each time it happened. She always saw how things could have been avoided. If so and so had just been different, and so on. She had to admit to herself though that this time, her what ifs were a bit more on the creative side, and wouldn't have been thought of until now, after the fact. She was tired, from having been working hard since before the sun had even rose. She couldn't sleep, not after what had happened. Her night had been so riddled with nightmares that she had given up on rest, and went to see where she might be of any use. Finally, one of the healers that she had been helping took one look at her and told her she had done quite enough for one day, and really needed to get some rest. Nevani didn't dare try to sleep though.
Therefore she was now walking aimlessly just to keep her mind away from the horrors she had seen. Her skin was even paler than normal, and her hair fell limp and tangled, which surprisingly she didn't even bother to fix. She didn't have the energy to look pretty, not today. She still managed to hold her typical pristine posture, head held high, and her back straight, though it was a wonder that she managed this. Her clothes were stained from her work of the day, but they were old clothes anyway. She didn't care about her appearance, probably for the first time in her 20 turns.
At first, when she saw the young man sitting by the tree with the puzzle, it didn't really sink in that she saw a person. She sort of looked upon him blankly lost in her thoughts as she tried to figure out where she might go and what she might do that the healer wouldn't discover. Perhaps it was a movement of his that brought her to the here and now, or maybe recognition sank in. However she was pulled from her thoughts, she suddenly realized that she was looking at a man, not unattractive that she hadn't before tried to talk to. Her goal of riding a gold never far from her thoughts, she wondered, that maybe if she tried hard enough, she might start some sort of relation with this man, and maybe even a relationship that would lead to her loosing her virginity, and solving her biggest life problem. A girl could dream, at least, right?
Noticing the puzzle, she spoke, not really bothering with pleasantries, "Can I try to solve it?" she asked, more hoping that she could, and perhaps impress him, then they would have more to talk about, of this she was sure. She held out her hand, quizzically, and waited for his answer, unaware that she was swaying as she stood from fatigue.
