docked there. Cargo is being unloaded and loaded.
Its very busy here with people and goods arrivings and departing
White Water --
says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: My arrival in White Water had
been slightly delayed by the need to attend to other matters. I
had not bored you with the particulars, only sent word that I
would see you about business at soonest convenience and, in
fact, had made relatively good time all things considered. Even
so, I disembarked the ship with all the haste of a woman not
well accustomed to sea travel, and once there took a moment to
rummage through my satchel for recorded mention of just where I
was supposed to be meeting you. Then perhaps after that, I would
see to accommodation.

says to ALL: We had only had a brief time to speak on
arrangements before I had been required to depart and I was
grateful to be met in short order by the Master of The Docks
with further instruction of arrangement. The worn piece of
parchment I had written information on was all I had to go on,
and I had handed it to him before he had taken a moment to send
messenger for my generous host.
... Guards are seen patrolling the streets ...

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: Obviously you were a known
quantity around here and it seemed that your reputation was
quite positive...which I was not surprised in the least to
discover. In any event, I had not brought much and a two
traveling trunks were being offloaded even as I made
arrangements with The Master of the Docks. One of clothing and
such, the other of Caste materials.
Whether you were going to be able to meet me just now or later
this evening, I was not certain and I simply awaited word from
the Man the Dock Master had sent on my behalf.
... Tavern under new ownership; Stop in and see Nicanor ...

says to |She is alone the Arabia: was Then as I gathered my
Cloak and a guard that I moved along the path till i met the
dock it was Not far and I would see you standing with the Dock
Master ...a very obliging Man to The Lady's but very hard on the
Crews and other men who did business with Him...
I saw you standing with two travelling trunks and alone other
Then that .. so I made haste to greet you... Motioning to jamee
to get some thralls together to gather the trunks and take them
to the farm .. when we were ready... she nodded and did as I
asked quick smart.. was not long and as I moved closer to you 4
thralls were making way also to where you stood....
"CYRA" i called in greetings "Welcome to White water ...I hope
your trip here was not long and safe?"

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: I had been escorted by a Man
at the fair, but it seems that he had taken leave of my service.
His reasons were his own, though I did know them. I had been
sorry to see him go, but had forged ahead as any Woman must,
grateful to arrive as without issue as I had.
"Nyah!" I grinned, waving one gloved hand and waving in return
before I tucked the parchment back into a small pouch at my belt
and closed the distance.
For the part of the Thralls I paid them no great mind, seeing as
they began to gather trunks and I was left to direct my
attention back to you in full.
"I am quite in one piece, but no...not so long. And how are
you?"

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: I gave your hand a small
squeeze, the gesture well returned and clearly welcome and the
smile having not faded since I arrived. It was good to be out in
the world, to see beyond the tiny sliver of my own existence and
to experience new places and new friends.
"That sounds wonderful."
And it did. I had not traveled extensively in my short time, but
it seemed that very often there was little in life more
satisfying that finding respite after a long journey. I was not
one troubled by the hardships of road or sail, but that did not
mean I did not feel the fulfillment of a comfortable rest at the
end.
"I arrived sooner than I had expected, everything did go
smoothly. I am looking forward to our visit, and meeting Essa."
And so we started the journey to this farm of yours, talking all
the while and my trunks well in hand.

[ Cobblestone Street - Somewhere in White Water ]
--Somewhere on one of many cobblestone streets that weave
through the city--
says to |She is alone the Arabia: As we made our way along the
streets of White water I would stop and Point out things to you
that I loved about The Place... How in a city as such it still
had The parks and Grass land to Make you feel you were in some
other time...the water flowed Through the Streets The sound of
the rapid bringing sounds and music that unless one experienced
one would not hear or know of.... I pointed to the gardens and
spoke soft
"I would Like to bring you to spend some time Maybe Lunch...one
of the days your here...." and soon we passed as I pointed to
the huge Cylinders of The city where Many of White Water
resided.....
where did you grow up Cyra?" I asked as I offered a smile
interested in finding out a little about your life

[ Cobblestone Street - Somewhere in White Water ]
--Somewhere on one of many cobblestone streets that weave
through the city--
says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: I moved at a comfortable pace
with you through the streets, taking in the landmarks as you
pointed them out. The city, I found, had an elegance to it. It
was not the rough, almost entrenched beauty of Tarnburg or
Thentis but something more refined. Every stone perfectly
carved. Every building sculpted to immaculate design.
"I enjoy gardens and look forward to it."
It might not surprise you that botany fascinated me. More often
than not it was the foundation of my Caste work, what limited
amount I was allowed to participate in. I thought, along those
lines, to ask more about Essa later...or perhaps to ask her when
I finally made her acquaintance.
"I am from Thentis but have more recently been residing in
Tarnburg." I spoke openly with you, the business of the city
milling around us as many saw to their own matters "I was
Companioned for a brief time, though that has since been
dissolved...what about you? I know you have a Farm here, you had
mentioned that before...but are you from here originally?"
I would have argued that it was just as important for me to know
you as the other way around. I had been invited graciously in to
your home and had found you to both welcoming and engaging...but
I knew very little more in kind. These were the early stages of
acquaintance, though I could not help feeling at least in part
that I knew you. Kindred spirits in some way, perhaps. Only time
would tell.

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: I took my seat and listened,
not saying much at first but readily taking up the glass of cool
water and wetting parched lips. It was pleasant, clean and the
conversation was pleasant. I figured that despite the settling
exhaustion I was not doing poorly in this life either, not all
things considered.
"You are a worldly Woman, something I strive to be." I smiled,
removing my gloves and taking care to clean my hands some as we
sat. The rest of the freshening could wait until we had made it
back to the farm, but this was quite enough to make me feel at
least a measure more comfortable.
"I grew up in a wealthy Physician family in Thentis, an old
family...and never wanted for anything in my life until now. I'm
thinking perhaps I was done an injustice in that."
I was surprisingly self-aware at times...and remarkably candid.
The truth was, I was only now coming to terms with how petulant
I could be on occasion. There were plenty of women that would
have presented perfection to the world, but I was inherently
flawed. For better and worse.
"But we live and we learn, do we not?" I took another sip of
water, the warm bowl set aside. "I am very much looking forward
to meeting Essa, though I should warn you that I have never
spent any time on a farm."
Which was going to be...interesting mostly likely.

says to |She is alone the Arabia: I listened as you spoke and
you were right I was what one would call a worldly woman done
probably more over My time then Many Others...But I was a proper
FW with the steps I took..."striving to be things can be hard
for a FW.... it is How one Presents them self in Gorean life
that will determine fate.....knowledge of your caste and
Addressing Those interested in the manner of a FW will always
get you Pluses to present what you wish to offer in that
caste... I have found FW Tred softly in the circles of gorean
Life and so they should remembering That Life here is a mans
life even if We hold skills they are not what keeps us Free it
is how we put forward who and what we are That keeps us without
collar... I have always presented myself with those thoughts and
been accepted by men as a Merchant and allowed to visit and
advance my station as such... with the respect I gain...This is
How a FW must learn.. and progress with the caste she follows
... is My opinion anyways*s.....I would imagine Not many would
Like that you Practice what you do?"

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||-Tyk: I listened, thinking that you
had a good deal many more social graces than I. I suppose that
is built in time and character, everyone being made of a
different cloth so to speak.
"I can claim no great skill in subtly." I laughed softly, almost
self-deprecating, "I'm a very straight-forward woman and bolder
than is agreeable to some...perhaps I would do well taking a
page from your book, Nyah."
We all had strengths. I had spirit, fire if you will and it had
gotten me out of nearly as many predicaments as it had put me in
to. Without the company of Remus, or Eyan for that matter, I was
going to have to be a bit more mindful of my tongue and my
mannerisms. I suppose it would do me well.
"Within my Caste it is respected surely enough...many Physicians
seeing the scholarly value of such studies. Unfortunately, my
capacity to practice is quite limited by the strictures of Caste
Law in Tarnburg. And not all those outside of my Caste
understand the nature of the work."
It was not true in all cities, Caste law overseen largely by
local council, that women were not allowed to practice before
bearing two children. As I had not done so, I was necessarily
constrained almost everywhere.

watched "straight Forward is good... I to can be Like That...
Once a Man I knew stole A couch from My Home... I was very
forward In telling My Companion to Track That Man down and have
My couch returned... He didn't.....and as far as I know That Man
still has it " I laffed after all That really had nothing to do
with being straight forward but if you had known My Mate Joe
MacBain... he didn't Like a woman's opinion on many things and
was clever at Brushing off unimportant things to him he could
raid and gain many a couch......I chuckled once again at the
thought...."Anyways it is Not Who you are it , is how you
present oneself.... I like you Cyra....and Look forward to
Teaching you some of The relaxed things that happen about the
farm *s
I will always be with you The Gods Them selves can not keep
Me from your side
