Coop was sweating freely but that was nothing new. The whole day had been one of those. Just turning around or bending over slicked one's skin with sweat. Her dress felt gross and her underwear was even worse. She couldn't wait for her next bath to clean her clothes but she knew she couldn't head off into the water too soon or she'd need another one before she met up with Adnan. She'd brought poor Lucien across the lake from where they were harvesting the sweetgrind to be pounded into flour and deposited him with Thorne. Poor guy had pushed it too hard and had passed out from heat exhaustion. She was sure that meant he'd be done for the day and she was on her own.

As she brought a loosely baled bundle of the grain to the area of camp where they did the drying, she noticed that Rowan, too, had opted to lie down for a while. Sophie was nowhere to be seen but there were other people working with the grain. "Hello," she called cheerfully as she could manage after being so annoyingly overheated. "Brought some more grain to dry." With a relieved sigh, she heaved the bale down next to the others.

Coop just kept a small smile to herself as she focused on the flour pounding for now. The lack of faith that they might see their homes again was more than evident but she wasn't quiet ready to give in to that yet. Her bond with her family was strong and she hoped it would be enough see her back some day. If not? Well, if she forced herself to confront that possibility, she would just try to live well in this place if she could. Love these new acquaintences as though they were the family she left behind. She sighed softly as she worked, dark head down in the bright sun.
