ready. You know, I think Iβll go outside for a bit.β
Arlissa left the house and wandered down to the bog edge. She looked over the clumps of grass which seemed strong and safe, but in reality hid deep quicksand. If you stepped on a hillock, it would tip and dump you into the pit, where you would struggle until the pull of the sand dragged your tired body under and suffocated you. Lovely.
She turned to the house. It was a low, rambling building, made of the clay from the area, red-brown, with a cream roof. Windows framed the front door, the glass reflecting the light of the setting sun. The steps led to a shallow porch, where two benches sat against the house, one under each window. She worked her way toward the back, moving diagonally to circumvent the portion that jutted out for her bedroom. In the back, a smaller, square building sat about 100 feet from the back door. It had a single window in the front, with a door to the left. The guest house held 5 beds in 3 separate bedrooms, but the main common room in the center could be cleared to add space for bedding if necessary. It wasnβt often they had that many visitors to fill the house, but on those rare occasions, they were thankful for the room.
She continued around to the other side. All in all, it was a cozy house. They had been there for 2 years, moving right after her fatherβs and Joilaβs marriage. Jor had been born in the master bedroom.
Arlissa thought about when they lived in the city. She didnβt really miss the hustle and bustle and the noise, but she did miss the vendors along Merchant Street and the shops throughout the city. The apartment where they had lived was huge: 6 bedrooms and 3 baths. Why did they need that much room? Perhaps they had hoped to have many children. Or, maybe it was because her father was so important in the government, and had lots of visitors. She shrugged.
She went back into the house and to bed.
