A Long Recovery
Jan. 19th, 2006 08:22 pmHer legs hurt slightly when she walks, after such a long recovery, but she doesn't say so.
It's something of an accomplishment, after all, being out on her own after so long. The frustration of sitting in bed or on the couch all day is not something she wishes to go back to, which seems likely, should Lyrae think she is hurting herself.
She walks slowly, with measured footsteps. The sea breeze is cool under the warm sunshine.
Zera walks every day, determined. The weakness is going, she knows it is. But it takes so very long. And the walks seem longer, too. She has to keep reminding herself to go further, in case she begins to turn back earlier and earlier. It's important to get better, and even being permitted out without an escort is an accomplishment.
She's glad to be out.
It's just a little dull, on her own.
