The blonde Miqo'te woman sat quietly with her hands neatly clasped around the simple crook in her lap, knuckles white over it as the caravan jerked at each bump or disruption in the path in front of it. Her brown hat was pulled low, obscuring the violet eyes that watched the ground pass beneath her hanging legs, normally she would have done anything she could to look around in awe at the trees around her but with the circumstances of her trip she felt it more prudent to keep herself as small a target as possible. She was in the Shroud to study Conjury yes, but she was also there to hide, this time she'd had no choice and her lips tightened at the thought of how futile her protests had been on the matter.
A particular rough patch finally brought her attention up, the leaves rustling ominously above them and warning of a storm, she was used to rain but never as much as happened here in the Shroud. Her eyes searched the muted leaves for glimpses of the grey skies and she let out a soft hint of a sigh, if only she could have had Kahn'a here with her to show her around, but she knew he was busy with his duties in Ul'dah and it wasn't his place to escort her around whenever she felt the need for his comforting presence. The same went for the others she'd left back home and she briefly catalogued their faces in her minds eye, eyes closing and looking away from the dreary clouds overhead. The chill hadn't affected her yet, her long robe doing a good job of chasing most of the chill away, the brown leather quite warm.
When she opened her eyes again her fingers idly brushed at the feathers at the end of her crook while she looked around, she didn't know any of the people that had boarded the caravan with her. To even get on had been a last minute decision, but traveling along with a group was just safer, even if she hadn't been under the circumstances she was it was just safer to travel in a group. A pack. Her eyes danced over a pair of Hyur, the female briefly speaking, before she met the eyes of another Miqo'te and then looked away again to her lap. It seemed most of them were perfectly content to stay silent and for once so was she, best she not meet anyone if she could avoid it for now, maybe when they got to Gridania...maybe.
