...is within one of the private chambers ...
ALL: Some time ago she had purchased a map of England, which displayed parts of Wales, but not in great detail. The main focus was on the motherland and its divided Kingdoms along with those who were in control of which areas. It was a map of great value to anyone who wished to travel and avoid settlements of the Danes or anyone else they felt threatened by. But she had marked her own map and so it could never be given away or sold to another at a high price. So instead, she decided to challenge herself and see if she could actually perform the works of a map maker and if she could successfully sell off the copy of the map, she would make another see where it branched from there. Of course, it would be a costly business to start off with, one has to spend coin to make coin and parchment didn't come cheap and she didn't have the gold to just fritter away as she once had when first arriving in Windstorm, so she would need to be very careful which each stroke of the quill. There she had sat, for the better part of the day, at the small table which she had pulled infront of the window for maxium exposure of light and she'd been diligently drawing what she saw on her copy of the map onto a blank piece of parchment, the last of parchment that she had brought along to Windstorm...well 'took'...from her Father's supplies. So the fact it was the last, she had to be extra careful she was wanting to convince a buyer it was the real deal and watch the coin roll in, so she could purchase more writing marterial. Perhaps she could branch out to copying written words, the works of a scribe, the possibilities were endless and writing often kept her mind focused, which kept the racing thoughts at bay.

•PRIVATE CHAMBERS•
...is within one of the private chambers ...
ALL: She wasn't foolish enough to think that this would be a quick and easy process, to complete this map it could take weeks, perhaps months with an unskilled hand! The more information added, the longer it would take, but the more the cost would be bumped up and so she'd be in for the win. Naturally she had started at the South West of England, where she resided and was slowly moving along the coast, small black ink strokes dividing sea from land around the edges. Every so often, she would stop and lean back to make sure she had made no mistake, blue orbs shifting from her copy to the one she was making, and each time this action was given, she would take up a handkerchief and dab the tip of the quill, so that she could get some fresh ink on the end and not cause any blobs along the way. This was her first project, so she would not rush it and the fact she'd been at it for a good portion of the day, she decided now was a good time to rest her wrist and eyes. The copy of the map was open and held down by various items at the corners and the window was open, which brought in a gentle breeze so that drying process of the ink could be helped along. A smile curled the corners of her lips, quite pleased with the small amount of work she had accomplished thus far.
