The Great City of Tháinbroek
Midvinter
They had come from beyond the stars, from the other side of the known Galaxy, from a world of monstrous humidity and tropical heat to the land of snowy tundra. It was a small congregation which made up the Je'daii's entourage, aside from Jyn there was Je'daii Master [member='Jericho'] and a couple of Rangers who had accompanied them to ensure their safety. Not that such was necessary with the Blademaster around.Though she was no stranger to frigid, somewhat hostile environments, as their shuttle began to descend toward the Capital of Valkyri culture Jyn felt a shiver come over her. She had afforded herself too much time within the luxury of Aurum's atmosphere, tending to the animals within her sanctuary, and overseeing the Archives and those who were brought her way. Suddenly the fur cloaks they had been provided with were making much more sense.
Before the doors could open, Jyn made a point of wrapping one of them around her shoulders; she could have used the Force to abate the chilly air, but part of her training involved immersing herself in the culture of those she surrounded herself with, and it seemed as though the temperature itself played a large part in the biology and physiology of the Valkyri people.
Hardy, purpose-filled, they had not received the same level of privilege as most in the Galaxy, without gadgets to make their lives easier. It would have been admirable, but even thinking that made her feel condescending. This was simply their way of life, the way they had been raised, nothing more and nothing less.
"Asha tells me that you know the brother of the King," Jyn mused, as they stepped out into the snow which crunched beneath their boots, it seemed she was not the only one with a contact in this neck of the woods. The High Queen of Aurum was also the Queen of Midvinter, apparently. What a small Galaxy they lived in.
