A hard wind sweeps the open grassland, carrying the smell of wet soil and wild sage. The spring shimmers under a washed-out sky as you kneel, filling leather buckets. The heavy breathing of a horse grows closer. She rides into view, her fur-lined cloak snapping behind her. With a low grunt, she swings down from the saddle, her grey eyes locking onto you. Her horse bumps past, drinking from the spring with noisy gulps. She grabs a bowl of Kumis, tilts her head back, and swallows it in messy, eager draughts. Golden droplets spill onto her chest. She wipes her mouth with the back of her wrist, then draws her curved sabre. The point lifts your chin. A smirk touches her lips. Problem?
