Chapter 3: Yun Sudra’s Melancholy

1

It was currently the twenty-first of the vermillion month, the day after Gazraan Rutim had recounted the events at the northern settlement to us. Aside from the sudden visit from Dan Rutim, nothing out of the ordinary had happened yet. After we finished gathering firewood and herbs, the women who lived nearby came to help out, and we set about handling the prep work for our business in the Fa house’s kitchen.

However, there was something off about that morning. Everyone seemed to be talking less than usual. The atmosphere wasn’t extremely quiet, but only a few people were speaking to one another. Nobody seemed to be slacking off on their work, though. They were clearly all putting effort in, so I tried not to let it bother me as I handled my own work. But eventually, a woman with the same concerns as me whispered in my ear.

“Asuta, things seem different today. Did something happen around here?” She was a member of the Matua, who fell under the Gaaz, and had been working at the stalls for two and a half months now. She was only thirteen years old.

“No, not that I know of. There was that huge meeting at the northern settlement the day before last, but I don’t think this is about that.”

“Oh yeah, that thing with the Dom and Rutim. That certainly was a surprise. But every single clan will have heard about that by now. I don’t see why only the women around here would be so untalkative because of it.”

“It’s only the women from around here?”

“Yes. They’re the only ones who are like this.”

I observed the other women a little more carefully, and it soon became clear that she was absolutely right. I had women from lots of different clans helping out with our morning preparations, but mornings were so busy that we always had a core group made up of women who lived nearby and could just walk over to join us. The Matua, Beim, and Ravitz had each sent one of their people who would continue to work with us at the stalls for the remainder of the business day, but everyone else came from nearby.

“Fei Beim and Lili Ravitz are being quiet too, but they’re always like that. With our neighbors not talking much either, the air around here is starting to feel a little heavy.”

“Heavy?”

“Not to the point that it feels awkward. But it’s still a bit of a worry. I wonder if there was some sort of fight.”

Looking carefully, I saw that it was women from the Fou, Ran, and Sudra that had gone quiet. That combination caught my attention.

Naturally, Yun Sudra belonged to the Sudra clan. As her clan had continued to hold meetings and banquets in the hopes of pairing people up for marriage, she had been getting more and more down. And the clans the Sudra were trying to get closer to were none other than the Fou and Ran. It was definitely a bit concerning for the members of those three clans in particular to become so quiet all at once.
