OCtober Day 1: Seasons
It was only late spring, but already Cortica was regretting not investing in some cooler clothes for the journey.
All right, so it was partially that she'd been neglecting clothes shopping entirely since she arrived, save for a hat that had caught her eye. But she had been busy with schoolwork! That was what she had come here for, after all. No, the problem was more that she'd neglected to read up on the climate before she left and prepare accordingly.
This was Cortica's first real encounter with warm weather; back on Algane, they only had two seasons: the milder season, when the sechals spread their leaves into the sky and people generally got by with lighter clothing, and the cold season, when the heavier clothes came out and everyone spent a week or so adjusting the cable carts so they'd stop seizing up from the cold. It had been the mild season when Cortica left, but even mild weather on a mountain is cooler than off, as she was quickly learning. Even forgoing socks, the sturdy material of her traveling clothes was proving much too warm for the local weather- especially during swordsmanship training.
Perhaps she'd have to go shopping this weekend after all.
