The marshes were a humid and unfriendly mess, even in the early hours. Miranda stood over her bedroll twisting her waist length hair into a casual braid, reflecting bitterly over the lack of a breeze.
"Iskander"
She didn't bother to look and see if he was coming to her -- she could hear the faint jingling of his earrings and other ridiculous trappings as he moved closer. Sorcerers were a silly bunch with their jewelry and frivolous clothing, but they weren't dumb and this one, at least, was not deaf.
Tossing the bedroll over her shoulder she turned to face the man.
"Have you packed the maps? I'd like to leave before the sun rises. Otherwise, we're likely to melt."
She knew she was lucky to have captured him; he was a gorgeous specimen.
Unfortunately, his attitude was reprehensible. She would have to straighten it out -- as soon as they were out of the marshes, and on the way to collect her next mark. She didn't bother to wait for his reply, instead moving around him to tie the bedroll on to the hardy mule that was carrying their supplies.
She tightened the girth on her charger; it was perfect, and the stallion nickered softly. Nuzzling his cheek, she kissed him.
"There there. We'll be out of this awful place shortly."
Boosting herself into the saddle, she said a prayer for the breeze, and turned towards her demonic prisoner.
"Ready, Iskander?"
