Luneshale Pass the sedge and the bee

tags for reference!

the rarity of nazli leaving muat-riya was such that, when she did depart in the early hours of the morning, she was cautioned by @tavina not to over-exert herself, and to take a guard; but nazli could not justify prying khusobek away from his new family, and while she promised tavina she would do as asked, she was quick to slip away without mention to anyone else.

her thought was to do a small trip to test her body. she had succeeded when the trade delegation had gone to the seaside and back, and so the thought of heading some ways north to the meadow for a day or two of introspection was not such a harrowing concept.

she managed to make it to the pass, where nazli decided to take a break and find a drink of water. while there she hoped to find some plants with which to decorate the palace, perhaps to gift to the new mother @inji—and as nazli began to hunt for these things she found a number of plump, fuzzy bees flickering between different naturally forming bouquets.

charmed, she waited and watched their awkward flights.
