She was listless. The jewels she was awarded for even rote work like this went a long way to financing her family back home -- but as she worked the pouch at her hip open, for the seventh time in her walk to the city-side, it released a swirl of dust and a tiredness her shoulders could only mirror. A slump, but her feet carried her on, ever marching.

No. She just had to try harder. More work. More jewels. And she'd eat when she cleared this one - a carrot on the stick for herself - so all she had to do was keep succeeding.
Her resolve was the undoing of the poor, pathetic skink-rat her sword drove into below. Even in its dying gasps it almost looked... no. She could get bread with this.
