       says to ALL: I weaved gently through the wagons, for I knew the
       way of wagon life, and was beginning to learn the mazes here.
       They weren't so very different from others I'd visited, all used
       the same general format, with small changes. I was learning
       again, and my dark midnight eyes focused on the task set before
       me. I would gather the flowers later, when I had a bit more
       time, but I wanted to get the fruit fermenting for the tea I had
       planned. I found a large clear glass jar, with a lid that could
       be sealed, almost as large as my torso. I picked through some
       fruit, looking for older peaches and plums. They didn't need to
       be flashy and fresh for fermenting. Sugar...and some yeast.
       Those were each selected as the sugar and yeast was added by a
       quick grasp of hands into the stores and measuring it by feel. I
       knew the combination I needed. The jar with the light piling of
       sugar and yeast, dry for now, I set to the side briefly as I
       began to search for a small knife to peel, cut, and core the
       fruit I selected.

       says to ALL: I worked efficiently, for I had little time to
       waste, and wanted to have the fruit fermenting as long as
       possible before the love wars, knowing they would begin soon.
       They needed a day or two at the very least to produce any sort
       of fermentation that would give a slight alcoholic tang to a
       dainty tea to soothe nerves. Eyes were deep, studious, as the
       knife worked shortly to peel the flesh from the fruit, digging
       out any bruised parts. As the knife made short work, tossing the
       peelings to a small basket of compost, I began to cut the fruit
       into equal segments. The pit of each fruit was also tossed in
       the woven basket to the side. Each small piece was then plunked
       within the empty basin of the jar, adding to the starter and
       sweetener of the sugar.

       says to ALL: Once every fruit had been portioned and filled the
       lower portion of the large jar, I gave the lid a quick twist
       with full fingered right hand, sealing it off before giving it a
       swift shake, mixing the sugar and yeast up and around the damp
       flesh of the fruit, as it clung and began their reaction. It was
       a slow one, and wouldn't be noticeable yet save for the cling of
       the ingredients to the fruit. Steps echoed on bare feet gently
       to the outside of the wagon, setting it carefully near one of
       the wheels so it wouldn't get trampled but would also receive an
       adequate amount of sunlight. Heat helped the reaction quicken,
       and I wanted it to be potent in the short time frame.

       says to ALL: Okay, that being done, I gave thought to the tea
       I'd steep with the juices and chunks of fruit when it was done
       fermenting. For now, I hurried a quick paced bare trot towards
       the fields near the outcoast of the wagons, anxious for flowers
       I could weave for crowns, make into bouquets, and pluck for
       braids of the Free Women at the stakes. Hands twisted together
       gently in thought as I thought to stop for a basket for
       gathering, wondering which flowers would be best, thinking it
       best to stay away from talenders. Dinas...those would always be
       nice though.[/center]
