Rose entered her bedroom and surveyed the familiar surroundings. It'd been a few months since she'd seen her home, war having called her away, and then of course Bael turning her into a Centaur hadn't helped any. But all was back to normal, for now. She sighed. She felt horrible. Her muscles ached as if she were an untried page who had just lifted a sword. She walked over to a rope and rang for a maid to bring hot water, some food, and some tea. She had to get back to Carmine Tower in a little while, but she wanted to get cleaned up first.
The maid brought up the hot water and food. Rose smiled at her gratefully. After getting cleaned up and fed, she slipped on a clean pair of breeches and a clean tunic and shirt. She brushed her hair and braided it before pinning it around her head to keep it out of her eyes. She stopped for a moment to take a breath. She still felt...dirty. As if there were still traces of Bael inside her mind. She hated it. It was like a scratch she couldn't itch. She also still felt the fight that had followed her imprisonment. Sore muscles protested at what was being made of them. She hadn't had sore muscles since she was a PAGE! She rolled her eyes. Drinking the rest of the herbal tea that had been brought up made her feel ten times better. She pulled on her boots and rang the bell again for the maid to come clear the hot water, but took the tray down to the kitchens herself.
