Faster Than The Speed of Light

It had been a long autumns day for Carwen. The chilling winds sent a shiver down her spine as she ventured through the city of Crocus. The magic council had demanded her attention for hours on end, nearly without a moment's rest from the endless politics of it all. Walking through the streets of Fiore's capital, she made her way to the one place beside her home and husband she could find rest with. Further down the more questionable areas of the city, the places deemed to be the slums of the capital, was a pub where she typically enjoyed a drink and a meal when she felt that she needed some rest and distance from everything. Since childbirth, she had frequented this place less and less, but now that the most time consuming and most diligent of her work as a new mother was over, she could allow herself a visit every once in a while. She eventually reached it, The Green Kirin as it was called. Walking through the doors, she was greeted by the familiar cheers and greetings which she was used to, now getting a few comments regarding her absence and what had kept her occupied. She had missed this.
