What it Means to be a Bond


This little task, the Overseer has placed upon us, have me stop to take in all my surroundings.
The meaning to be a bond, isnt just a femlee whose belly lie beneathe the sword. It also, to me at least, means she is the strength and pride of bother, her Jarl and the Village she serves in.
Within the village, a bond does alot to keep the village thriving even while the Jarls are away. Making sure each task and simple chore are done. So the village runs smoothly and in order. For both Jarl's approval and tp please him.
And speaking of Jarls, I am proud to be collared by my Jarl. He who brought me im from my dispair as i roamed, abandon. To me, his collar about my neck is my freedom and I will neverstray from it. For he lets me be true to myself. As a slave of the north, a bond.
And I would do anything and everything to bring honor and pride, not to just the village  that i serve in, but to the man whom ive serve. My Jarl. Thank you, for making me your bond, my Jarl.

humming to herself she works in the quiet cabin, dusting and scrucbbing the bookshelves, stacking the fresh parchment of papers upon the desk...sepping out with a rug beater, she smacks it a couple of good times across the furs and blankets, coughing a little as dust goes everywhere, shaking them some she takes them back inside, making the beds...as
[21:31]  clysa Dragoone: a final touch she took a pitcher and makes her way to the bakery, filling it with fresh water then takes it back up to place upon the counter with teh washing basin is, nodding with approval, cly stepped back out heading off to do her next task of the day
