This is that thing about having prompts for pups I want to bring in to the game. xD
She never thought she'd be able to think of her old life as peaceful. She had trained, been the topic of gossip since she could remember, and fought in more than her share of battles. She had run a camp for refugees where they had come to her for every complaint and fought huge metal bug creatures that had been fueled by the souls of dead children. It wasn't what anyone would call peaceful.
But now, in this strange new world with so much noise and activity… she found herself longing for the quiet of her old world. She had less trouble being accepted being a woman in a man's world, but not by that large a margin. Even small towns were livelier than Corus.
She didn’t know how she would adjust to the faster pace of life here, but she knew she’d have to quick. Running one of the largest homeless shelters in London was more challenging than running Haven and she dealt with more people trying to throw her off her balance than when she was a page.
One of these days she’d give herself a break. Some day when there was no one smaller than her that was being bullied or threatened or harmed or killed. Then she could rest. Then she could get some peace.
