⸸ A Bird Song ⸸
Tumblr media
The winds from the sea blew vastly different than those in Ishgard, even upon making landfall in Tural. A series of breezes in which one wished for a cool kiss to their flesh was met instead with a pyretic caress. It was no wonder that much of the areas within Tural were rumored to be arid and some even bursting with life. Green canopies hung overhead in the distance and the city of Tuliyollal was brimming with color, a vibrant welcome, and a diverse pop of cultures and races – like some of the free cities in Aldenard and Vylbrand though not quite at this magnitude that Vahalia had expected.
They had paid witness to the claims of the sea within the Shades’ Triangle and heard stories of the Grand Shallows during their voyage. They had cast their sights upon the large towering structures layered from the resplendent quarter and toward the Arterial Climb before even setting foot along the docks in Tuliyollal, the grand scape of the city’s jewel overlooking the depths and markets below. 
A city full of color, wonder, and life… such was kept to Vahalia’s back as she looked over the waters and reefs towards the collective of massive ships in the distance that only sought ruin had they dared to port. The accommodations were splendid, and while cozy it was a vastly different sight than she had been used to though not entirely out of her wheelhouse since she had made so many trips into Thavnair and Radz-at-han, Such a cacophony of hues had grown on her over the years but a long and contrasting stretch from her multitude of personal preferences.
There, in the distance which was malms and malms from the balcony of their collective cabins, her eyes never straying from The Red Queen, That singular ship she had been here for only second to Ophelia herself.
There was a subtle stirring in her, part excitement but also part annoyance that she had come all this way after setting away two ships to only find out that Ophelia had been holed up in Tural. The question was, where was she now?
Certainly, she wouldn’t have strayed too far from her possessions, for a woman seeking gold and glory, that would be too far outside the realm of expectancy. 
Tumblr media
Cordelia had thoroughly anticipated the change in climate, though she certainly underestimated the jump in heat even from what most might consider normal temperatures. There had been little hesitation in changing into even further more appropriate attire for their new surroundings. It had taken some time for her to soften and become comfortable with her newly met niece and nephew during the journey but once that barrier had been crossed, she found herself seeing to them along with Vahalia occasionally and offering entertainment.
Their things were mostly settled, the twins having been resolute in fighting sleep were finally resting soundly when Cordelia found her way down to the docks in search of Vahalia. As her eyes found the other dark-haired woman, she paused to take a moment to admire her from afar, appreciating their likeness even with the background of sun and sea. “Have you garnered any leads on Ophelia’s whereabouts?” She inquired as she eventually came to stand at Vahalia’s side, gaze following the trajectory toward the ship afar. 
“Aside from her being in Tural? None. However…” Vahalia’s voice was sincere despite the coiling in her stomach that was only fuel by the desire to find Ophelia all the faster, “If her ship is in the harbor then it’s likely she hasn’t ventured too far. I have Cas wandering asking a few questions and seeing if she can pin-point more information about the ship or the crew.”
A look cut back to The Red Queen in the distance, “A ship like that doesn’t go unnoticed. We’re on the right path if she’s made it this far. The best place to catch her would be on land and off guard. For now…I’d hate to see the trip go to waste entirely, what time we cannot give chase due to lack of information, we could always consider other prospects here. Absorb the culture.” Vahalia smirked gracefully.
As the two stood overseeing the large ship offshore, a warm wind blew against them and somehow it held a coolness likely brought in from the sea. A single handheld the darkened lace parasol just above Cordelia’s height whilst idly spinning it. The woman surely stood out amongst the bright and vibrant colors of Tuliyollal yet that seemed to bother her little. “We should keep watch on The Queen, if she recognizes that you have also arrived, I presume there is the chance she may hoist anchor.”
Her lids pinched together slightly as she gazed upward to the sky with a slow and steady breath. “The twins are finally asleep and settled. Would give us a bit of time to pursue the city, perhaps enjoy the sights all the while keeping our ears open for any unsuspecting little birds.” 
Tumblr media
“Bird watching in Tuliyollal, sounds like we have much to occupy ourselves with for the time being,” Vahalia affirmed as she turned to her kin. Not too far off she noticed the looming presence of Wren – Cordielia’s counterpart to the trip. A welcomed one all the more but it was pleasant to see sights of Cordelia that Vahalia had never seen before outside of the word of mouth or simply assuming.
The woman was just as coordinated and careful as she was. A depth of respect for her only grew beneath her bosom as she outstretched her hand for the crook of Cordelia’s arm. Little else mattered that Hakan had not responded to her missive, much was expected from the man as she knew he could handle himself, wherever his feet happened to take him for the time being. Her linkpearl remained dormant and not a single response from Osric since she had made note of her plans to set sail for Tural and take Idalia and Evran with her, likely a product of him possibly being cross with her. Here, however, she was among like minds and in good hands and conversely.
Vahalia turned to lead the pair along the docks and sands in the direction in favor of the colorful canopies and pops of jubilant voices that cluttered the market above.

Coup de grâce
Tumblr media
Papers littered the usually well kept desk, Cordelia’s attention fluttering from one stack to the next as her intensive gaze scanned each item one by one. It was missing, a lot of it was missing but where were the errors? Everything had been precisely documented in detail all with her direction in how it was to be handled. Where did it go wrong? 
“Exactly how did this happen?” The icy tone of her voice made the inquiry that much concerning as she spoke it with extreme calmness. Wren had already been dispatched to directly handle the currently scheduled outgoing inventory, not only passing it off to the crew but accompanying the trade for the entirety of the journey.
Tilly held her head low, daring not to lift her gaze for the moment as Cordelia bristled with aggravation. By this point, the Lady of the House had been kicking herself, having allowed her attention to be pulled away by outside influences. She had spent far too long chasing after answers from ghosts in the past and all the while doing so, letting her guard down and falling victim to the feelings shared between her and another. He had shown up late that night, hours after the news that an unknown being had been siphoning and stealing funds and inventory via these trade routes bargained with Lady Cress. Cordelia had previously leaned on him, relinquishing some of the control she fought for never ending while entangled night after night, but that evening had solidified that she wasn’t making the right choice. At least, not now. 
The explanation was simple and to the point, despite Cordelia’s deeper thoughts on the matter, she knew this was what needed to be done. Normally, she would have sought his expertise on this issue, it had become something she had grown accustomed to. Perhaps that was part of her downfall, in the end. Since before marrying Ambrose, Cordelia had worked best alone and without requiring the help of another, let alone a man. Even still, there had been an odd tinge within her midsection when she broke the courtship and asked for space. He had been hard to read, surely not happy on the decision but also there was no fighting back on it. She was glad for that, it made it easier in a way for her, for both of them to be stoic in the moment to an extent.
That had been then; now, days later as she sat behind the desk covered with falsified and forged documents, Lady Gray’s attention was resolute. Learning this had been the final blow to any distractions that remained outside of her house and home. 
She tossed the papers aside, her hands coming up to cup either side of her face with a heavy sigh. The timing could not have been worse, but perhaps that is what they, whoever they may be, anticipated. "Send word to Mr. Thorne, have him meet with Wren at delivery destination to ensure all items are procured by the proper entities. Have them linger and collect the royalties personally."
Pressing her hands now to the edge of the desk, she pushed back and stood. Tilly now took this opportunity to lift her gaze to meet the lady of the house. Cordelia leveled with the smaller one, waving at hand at her to shoo her on her way. She had to do some digging of her own, a little more of a deeper dive into the workings of this trade route. Oddly enough, the timing of revealing her identity just a week prior to Vahalia just might end up being in her favor more than anticipated.

i love when authors write women who engage in self destructive behavior to claw their way to esteem in an elitist environment when they already have twice the character and skill than those around them
