She watched for a moment, raising an eyebrow quizzically. If the fellow was telling the truth he certainly didn't show his age; could he really have been dancing here before she was even born?
"About ten years." she replied, still looking at him as if he were from another world entirely. She takes a couple of steps toward the lockers, letting her gaze move away from him. "You've been back longer than I've been here." she added, almost defensively, as if she had mentally swapped their places, making herself the intruder in his city. "Its been even longer since I danced for anyone."Â
She mentally traced her steps backward. She had been in the city for almost six moons herself, and her last performances had been moons before that. Tucked away in Fallgourd Float, she had performed at the inn for the merchants and traveler on their way to and from Coerthas. She had tried to supplement the meager pay the Hungry Wolf company had provided, which soon dried up entirely. It had been fun, but trivial compared to the stage she had left behind.Â
She stopped, bending over to pick pick up a towel before wiping off her face and arms, letting her thoughts wonder a little further, had it really been so long?
