This could really be anyone, anywhere. My impression is it's Kem Aldai and she's in Kamenlohn, having traveled with Sray and Kallon for the trial, but it doesn't seem to want to keep going so I'm throwing in the towel and leaving it at two paragraphs.

She fumbled with the buttons and cursed as she tripped. Her hand touched the wall and checked her balance as she kept running. She pulled the coat back over her shoulder and tried for at least one button to secure the thing. "Ha!" Success. She kept running down the hall. This place was a maze, but she was finally on track. If she kept her pace she might just be early instead of late.

She pushed open the door and shuddered against the cold air, hurriedly fumbling at the buttons again as she jogged down the steps. All it took was one wrong turn to get her behind.

Fill: Challenge #41

[shivver]

She’d never been to a posh restaurant before, or even one that could be called upscale, and she closed her eyes to breathe in the atmosphere. A low murmur floated all around her, broken by the clinks of glassware and cutlery against fine china. A few words in pretentious accents broke through now and again, drawling out opinions on law, politics, and high society. The aroma of fresh seafood, the house specialty seasoned with lemon and exotic spices, filled the air but couldn’t quite mask the heady smell of genuine roses in the table’s centerpiece. Her fingers slid over the smooth cool silk of the tablecloth, which she guessed cost more than her month’s wages alone.
