"We'll be mindful of time, then," she murmured warmly. Merlan was sure she could find her way back to an inn or maybe even a place to camp for the evening, as she had been doing off and on to save coin.
The regular even timing and shaping put her at ease, smoothing any worries or concerns or thoughts beyond the tools they were making from her mind. Merlin having a companion was really quite lovely and she looked forward to meeting her at some point. In her work, Merlan rarely paused, perhaps stopping once and a while for water, but as she fashioned this or that by the wizard's side she sang lilting Enochian, Norse, Irish, or Old and Middle English songs. They all seemed to fit different parts of the work at different times. There was care, love, ad heart put into each process.
And there was nothing more besides that, though she might have worked into the night if it hadn't been for Merlin's bit about sundown. When it did come, she found herself unknotting her neck and shoulder knots, wishing for a long soak in a bath as she looked over their progress.
"Good work for the day," she said, working herself back into her overshirt and belting it. Merlan still had most of her things in her pack and would ease some of her soreness with herb and liberal stretching. "I'm not sure where I'll be staying the night. Probably outside the town for the savings. Wish your lady well for me?"
