Not when she could feel the road under her feet instead, smell the fresh earth and hear the birdsong, and feel the afternoon sun's warm rays. On the other hand, doing that while baking in her armor sounded like the exact opposite of fun, so she had left that in the carriage along with her baggage and was walking alongside. Occasionally she would find an herb or see something that looked interesting, and then she needed to jog to catch up lest she fall behind.<br/><br/>The news that they were nearly there was welcome, though! She hopped up onto the side of the carriage and poked her head in while Excellence was getting dressed. If she was worried about getting an eyeful of tiefling she didn't show it - adventurers were second only to physicians when it came to seeing people in states of vulnerability or undress, and Calanthe had long since gotten accustomed to it. At least, that's what she told herself - she couldn't help but glance at the bard's wiggling hips as she worked her way into her outfit.<br/><br/>"Fierce sounds good! I'll need my armor, please. Oh, Excellence! What do you think about capes?" The girl troubled her sometimes - actually a lot of times - but something she absolutely did know was how to cut a striking figure. "Do you think the scarlet cape would be best, or the blue or the maroon, or is this low-key enough that we should do without?" Learning how to create small thermal updrafts so a cape would billow heroically even without wind had been one of Calanthe's proudest achievements (if not one she would brag about), and she had collected quite a variety of them.<br/><br/>The road dust that had accumulated on her clothes and body from the trip melted off and resumed its rightful place on the road - the bard wasn't the only one that used prestidigitations to keep clean!<br/><br/>Oh, Aubry was staring. She was<em>definitely</em>going to have to tease him about that later.
