Kaira
A narrow, lumpy bed. A small room. A few underwhelming dresses hanging in a small wardrobe. If it wasn't for the fact that the windows weren't adorned by Avendoresa leaves, it could have passed for a room in the Great Serpent in Hama Valon.

But this wasn't the Grey Tower. Thank someone for that.

Kaira struggled to sit up in bed, although most of that was lethargy. Her plans for the day consisted of precisely nothing. Since leaving Hama Valon two months ago, Kaira didn't have anything she needed to do. The money she had received from her father and stepmother would sustain her for a few years in this condition. It wasn't much of a life, but it was the life she'd chosen. Both for herself and her baby. She was rubbing her stomach with one thumb, although there was nothing to see yet. Another month and there would be.

She sniffed, although she didn't know at what. At life in general? Maybe. Kaira was her mother's child when it came to her temperament. She didn't have as pronounced a nose like her mother's, but she could stare down at people with the best of them. She'd been raised around Aes Sedai after all.

Once she set aside her inertness and got ready to go out, it was already approaching midday. Her room was a part of a former manor house, run by 'the lady' Adkins. She took on a role not that dissimilar as the Mistress of Novices, although she only dictated a few chores each day. Kaira wasn't able to leave the house without exchanging a few words with 'Lady' Adkins. Kaira concocted an itinerary for the day out of thin air but was careful to remember what items she would have to return with from her day in the city.

Freed from Adkins, Kaira wandered aimlessly. She'd met her minimum needs for the day, which was to leave the manor. Everything beyond that was a bonus. Without much forethought, Kaira walked along wide cobbled roads and cut across narrow muddy alleys with the same indifference. Muggings did occur in some of these alleys, but she was nonplussed. As if readying herself, Kaira retrieved her Great Serpent ring from a pouch and slipped it on her right thumb.
