The journey had been a long one, several days of Cara tucked inside the Lady Máel Sechnaill coach and on her way to the next place she was being sent off to. The next place that was to tolerate her until they too couldn't stand her and sent her away to who knew where. During the trip she sat mostly looking out the window, trying hard not to get wrapped up in the thoughts circling her mind and the potential harm they were already causing on the wound to her heart. She was done with family and people looking out for her well being, she was alone and that was how it should be if she wanted to reach her own goals without getting any further help or delayed.

In her hands was several folded scrolls, rather than rolling them back up she hand folded and crumpled them up after attempting to reading them which by the time they had drawn close to the trading post and their destination had been a countless number of attempts. The noble woman had sent her with instructions and a small pouch of coins on a few things for Cara to get before school. Though she supposed there was to be someone to meet her in the trading post to lend her a hand with the list. Her friend who had suggested the idea had tried to make sure Cara was somewhat prepared with the basics such as an all important wand so maybe it would be her. Until her departure she had been borrowing one from Lady Máel Sechnaill but the idea of having her own was a big interest because it would be her own and no one would be able to take it from her. Providing she used her own money rather then the coins provided by the noble woman. 

When the carriage came to a stop, Cara calmly stepped out and slung her bag as well as her bow of her shoulder. Her eyes took a moment to glance around the trading post but eventually were drawn up to look at the castle sitting up in the nearby mountain. From what she could see of it, it was nothing like she had ever seen before and it truly was a marvel to think that would be her home for however long she could stay before they grew tired of her.

Collecting herself, she turned to the driver and handed him the pouch of coins from the noble woman. She told him to either keep it for himself share it with his team or return it, she didn't care and would leave it up to him what he told his master upon his return. Cara stepped away after that her eyes drawn down to the open scrolls in her hand. She needed a wand and a few essentials which she could apparently find here. Her eyes raised and she glanced around wondering where to begin in her search when she caught the sound of a few words caught her attention. She turned and noticed two people talking just inside the blacksmith. Her heart immediately took note of the familiar looking environment and as she calmly approached the two the smells and heat of the space only brought up the past even more. Yet she was determined not to let it grab her, not again. He had abandoned her just as her birthmother hand and even Lady Máel Sechnaill. She was alone and it would do her good to remember that.

Cara approached the two calmly, they seemed to be about her age and discussing something about a school and others. It seemed to be her best chance at figuring out where she needed to go, they wouldn't try to give her the deep third degree that an adult would seeing her here alone.

 "Excuse me, would either of you be able to direct me to where the general store is?" Cara asked in a calm and formal tone. Hopefully they could give her a quick answer and she could be on her way to getting whatever was on the list in her hand before the end of the day.
