Of all the days to oversleep why did today have to be one of those days?!

Eila blamed her choice of rest; as she was no longer under her mother's wings and had to pay for her own lodging, she thought it would be best to settle for the lesser of choices, no matter how...quaint the other seemed. However, while at the other place she had been woken with a timely knock, here she was left to her own devices. And while she typically rose with the sun, today was different for whatever reason. She blamed the noise wholly as she hadn't slept when she desired. Why people would get so rowdy at those hours was beyond her!

Whatever the case was, Eila had to wrangle herself out of bed and had hoofed it out of the inn. She had to ignore food for now--another issue that had nearly left her starving for the next few days had Kyreth not pointed out that she would be responsible for her own meals--and the growling of her stomach as she ran through the town. Oh, what a sight--her hairpin was likely hanging onto her hair for dear life, her knuckles white as they held onto her bag. She must have apologized more than a dozen times to those she narrowly missed colliding with.

Eventually, the carriage was in sight, and by the time Eila reached the group, she was completely out of breath. It served her right to look the part of a fool, gasping and wheezing for breath without a chance to utter any excuse for her shameful behavior. Still, it would be rude not to at least try to apologize. [color=palegreen]"I--I...I am...Please forgive the--goodness,"[/color] She could hardly string a sentence together, her bag on the ground as she tried to focus on regaining some air in her lungs.

After a few moments of catching her breath, she scooped her bag off the ground, shaking her head as her cheeks reddened. She bowed her head in shame. [color=palegreen]"I beg you for a thousand pardons for such tardiness, it will not happen again,"[/color] She hastily put together a rather clumsy apology, though it was hard to ignore the slight ache of her shoulder. Goodness, she would need to reconsider her options if she was going to be this careless!
