Any :D?

Teleios is a strange city, Roshanak has decided. Oh, the whole situation is strange, even if not entirely unexpected. Grabbing people from all kinds of worlds and times and tossing them together while giving them a quest or three (moral or otherwise) sounds like just the thing a sorcerer or overly bored and powerful djinn would do. She's never heard of anyone or anything with this kind of power, but it's merely an extension of what she's been made aware of, rather than something new entirely.

No, the strangeness is more to do with the sun.

Roshanak's people are both people of the steppes and astronomers: that the sky is unchanging, day after day, is...Strange.

Disturbing, even.

She's trying to distract herself, which her teachers would say is easy but in actual fact is not. It's not easy when her mind goes again and again to the sun just in that after dawn glow, no matter what she does. On the other hand, she's been trying to avoid buildings. These buildings are not like the ones in Yr and the other cities, with a number built with centaurs in mind. No, the only people this city had in mind were those human-sized.

But there's nothing for it. She's just going to have to make her way to the library anyway. Books. That's what she needs, books.

She'll just...have to remember to duck and hope there's nothing too interesting on the lower shelves.
