By the time Eloise finally got herself out of her cottage; she was clothed in an alluring black dress of sorts, muddy dark leather boots, and a lace poncho sweater.
"Eloise." uttered a soft voice from behind her. She turns around and almost grins when her eyes land on her good friend Isla.
"Good morning, Isla. I was just off to go get my blood and beef from the poachers," Eloise responded gently.
"Of course, come along," Eloise responded, her gaze fondly lingering on Isla. The tall figure before her was striking, with pale skin and reddish eyes—a beautiful embodiment of her albinism that Eloise had always admired.
Taking Isla's arm, they walked together down the stone path, the cobblestones cool beneath their feet. The village was waking up, and the sounds of rustling leaves and distant chatter filled the air.
"Did Arlo come by this morning?" Isla asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Well, yes, he did. You seem to know everything, don't you?" Eloise teased, a smile breaking on her lips.
"I'm ancient; this knowledge comes easy now," Isla replied lightly with a smile.
As they strolled along the picturesque path, Eloise and Isla basked in the dawning day's vibrant energy. Sunlight filtered through the leafy canopy above them, casting dappled patterns upon the cobblestones. Eloise felt grateful for the company; there was something comforting about Isla's presence.
The village began to reveal its daily rhythm as they walked; vendors were setting up their stalls, and the alluring scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air.
Eloise glanced sideways at Isla, who was taking in the atmosphere with a quiet appreciation, her reddish eyes shimmering with excitement.
"Did you hear about the festival coming up next week?" Isla asked suddenly, a tentative smile on her face. "I heard there will be dancing, games, and a lot of food." she said quite nervously.
"Yeah, you told me you were making us outfits to go to the festival in," Eloise replied, "I'm rather excited to see what you come up with. You've always had a knack for things like that."
