-Koganusan got on the carriage with little fuss, and sat down on a bench. Wow, a bench. Dwarf caravels hadn't even gotten that kind of technology yet, preferring to let their occupants sit or stand on the chests carrying their precious items. Her legs swayed with the rocking as the thing ran over stones and pebbles, and the light made interesting shapes in the dust. Mainly straight lines. Seems like light wasn't all that good with the whole curves business. Nobody else seemed to want to talk, except for a few muttered conversations she could barely even get into. Some were even settling down for a discreet nap. Shameful, that. They'd just woken up. There was no reason to do it, it'd just mess up with your sleep cycle. Koganusan stayed wide awake, tapping idly at the benchwood between her legs, and humming a tuneless tune to the rhythm. Nobody joined in. 

It's hard to write about nothing happening, but even harder to live through it. When she looked back at this time, all she could remember was occasional snoring and creaking as people shifted position inside the wagon, or a wheel bumped up against a stone in the road. She carved a little design into the chair with a nail, and that took away some time, but just a fraction of the whole load of nothing. She began to feel like she was being tested for something. Her initiative, maybe? She took a look around, and tried to remember faces. There were a few she'd seen yesterday fighting the interesting bunch of animals. The socialist elf, and the bear, who seemed to be talking to each other. Ergi Hvatha.  (There's no point in translating that, because then it would be censored,) Ah well. Let the boulders fall where they will. No point in trying to hear what they were speaking about, since it was probably just seditious nonsense. She let the speech mix with the sounds of creaking and the trotting of the horse, until it became part of the background noise, and rapped her knuckles against the wood again.
