Tiana stretched her arms out, glad to be walking again after a long carriage ride. She pulled her waist length red hair in a tight bun and replaced the hat and light veil that covered her face most of the journey. She started walking, following the street signs and directions she was given previously. Immediately her thoughts began to wander, retracing the past few weeks as she kept an even pace. Tianas mother was sure to be angry, as her only daughter was whisked away out to do mens work without a single raised finger from her father. She thought of the possibilities, staying in her home, getting married and raising kids for an man arranged for her to marry, living out her life knitting and cleaning and cooking, having tea with so called friends. Or, complete what she was doing beneath the gaze of bias onlookers and continue with her fascination of the past, and the people in it.
Her father approved, after having four sons it was hard to treat Tiana any differently. He agreed whole heartedly on a new era, where woman can complete as daunting of tasks as men could mainly because as he watched his daughter grow to best all of her siblings in most mens work. He had helped her through schoolings, and as it were, reach the top of her class despite all odds.
The streets started to show life as shop merchants began their every day lives, and Tiana picked up her pace. She didn't want to be late to her first encounter with this team. First impressions dictated the entirety of a relationship after all. Street by street passed and the redhead wondered why she agreed to be dropped off so far away of the entrance. Superstition was a completely irrational fear, but it was the only way she would get passage at all.
Tiana sighed, picking through possibilities of the superstitions to actually be real, and then quickly dismissing them. She rounded a corner and there stood what she could only gather to be as her future team. Not breaking stride at the sight of the men and woman, Tiana focused on her main objective. Convince them that she was a worthy asset in their adventure.
