"I'm fine, I'm fine! Geee don't cause such a fuss, people do this all the time, don't they?" Not very gracefully and with a flood of muttered curses she managed to somehow climb down to solid ground. Of course she made sure to ignore all help from Alexa. Heaven forbid she's let a peasant lend her a hand. Right after the noble’s petite figure came down to earth (the same couldn't be said for her head), some rubble rolled off of the wall as if to show how unstable the pile of rocks really was. For a moment, Veronika stared at the obviously crumbly wall she just climbed in silence, before flicking her hair back in a snobbish way. "I knew it was just stable enough for me to get on top of it. I had it aaaal figured out!" She smirked before heading in the direction of the tall monument. "What are you waiting for? Come on, we need to get to some sort of city before the night falls." With that, Veronika trotted gracefully towards the landmark. Despite the cold of the previous night, the weather seemed to clear up. For once she couldn't help but to feel a hint of relief. It was the first time in her life where she didn't need to abide by anyone's rules first thing in the morning. There was no routine, no obligatory morning horse riding, no crazy old maids to stuff her in corsets that are two sizes too small. She was just walking towards the magnificent pillar not because anyone told her to, not because she had to, but because she genuinely wanted to. With those thoughts in her head, the young lass couldn't help but to bring a little bit of a skip in her step. Remembering that Alexa was with her, she turned back to her, with a small smile on her usually frowning face. Looking at her companion, she noticed that she was still carrying the book they found on that corpse. "Say, are you going to hold that book awkwardly like that? Not that I'll carry YOUR stuff, I mean, I found it, but why don't you give it to me so I can have it in my purse and it won't obstruct us or get even more damaged." She opened her purse while saying so. Luckily se didn't have the smallest model; it was big enough to fit a book. And well, we all know how purses or females are - you can stuff in many more things than you may think you can at a first glance.
