Saria bit her lip and stared at the open beddings next to Pritti. Her small chest rose and fell as she released a deep breath and slid into the covers next to the other woman.
Saria liked knowing she could be up in an instant, a remnant of her days on the streets, and only pulled a few light sheets over her. Hugging a pillow under her head Saria lay on her side, her back to Pritti, and stared at one of the small torch flames thoughtfully.
After a moment, without turning to look at Pritti, she spoke. "I remember, on cold nights, I would curl up with the stray dogs for warmth." Her voice carried an oddly wistful note. "It's funny, during the day we'd fight over food, but at night those dogs kept me alive. Sometimes I almost..." Her voice trailed off, but her tone made her meaning clear; part of her missed those days.
