ELIA
As Elia and Candace left the Market and began to wander the streets—Candace pointing out different shops and services, and waving greetings to different people who always smiled to see her, but often looked cold or scared when they nodded at Elia.
Some bowed to them, and others didn't. Elia wasn't sure why, but when she saw Candace bow back, she tried to copy her.
"No, no! Not like that!" Candace hissed, when Elia bowed to a woman with a leather sash over her furs.
Elia straightened immediately, but the woman looked concerned, then ducked away behind the building they'd been passing.
"What did I do?" Elia asked quietly.
