[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3747544, member: 4936"] "Uuugghf!" Emi sets the heavy flour bag on the stoop of the inn's side door and leans against its stone and mortar wall for a moment to catch her breath. Her arms ached from the lifting and carrying. Her fingers were sore from where her claws kept catching in coarse sacks and getting pinched underneath barrels. Her back muscles were cramping from keeping her wings bound tightly under a heavy cloak. She wasn't happy. But there was a price to be paid for some of the goodwill afforded to Mahda, the village healer and her adopted mother. People came to her when they needed help, and she was too old to do things like this herself. So Emi got sent instead. And really, she didn't mind. Sometimes the work was hard, but she liked helping people...or more specifically, she liked the gratitude and praise received at the end. It could have been so different...with her freakishness. She had to work hard to make sure people saw her as the helpful healer's apprentice. Instead of a monster. So Emi massaged her hands, and got back to it, hoping help would arrive soon. [/QUOTE]
