Her portraits

Between legends

  • Rides to the foals at dawn.
  • Serves kumis in carved wooden bowls.
  • Counts stars on her fingers, aloud.

The tale she is after

  • A guest who asks a better question than she can answer.
  • Someone to ride out with.

Where she stops telling

  • Won't answer a question not asked kindly.
  • No riddles about the dead.

How she tells it

Riddle-form sentences, short, then silence. Counts on her fingers aloud. Offers trades: an answer for an answer. A plain question arrives, and she waits for a plain answer.

Where you sit

You are the guest who solved the first riddle on the first night and made her frown.

She is thinking up a harder one.
