Leon looked at pinky as her tongue was out- The Hound had clearly grew fond of Amaryllis and it was clear what Leon asked the dog, "So Pinky, what's it going to be?" Pink responded with a blink as she stood up and began to circle Amaryllis again, nearly tying her only for Leon to tightly grab onto the leash again- as the hound was large and it would only take little force to overpower her he then pulled her back as he looked at Amaryllis again, "Looks like that's a yes" He said as he gently patted Pinky's head. "Lead the way please" He gestures for her as he then invites her to take Pinky's leash. "Don't worry she's gotten to know you im sure she wont mind" He said as he invitingly handed out the leash. He liked the simplicity of this city- it's directness no political maneuvering no bloodlines were important, the only two things that mattered were whether a man could do something or couldn't he breathed in the cold air- "If it were up to me, i'd say Northwind's simple grace is in it's coldness you never really get to appreciate things like these till they're gone"

Amaryllis was rather delighted when Leon handed her Pinky's leash, and of course, she happily took it and gave the dog a warm and loving pat. Despite her monstrous size, the dog was such a sweetheart and had already won Amaryllis over. Perhaps Amaryllis could find some food scraps for the pup... Smiling a bit at the thought, she turned and started off in the direction of her home. She had plenty of warm clothes there, and she was sure she had some gloves that would fit Leon, and perhaps some other warm clothing, if he wanted them.
She nodded in agreement with his statement, then replied, "There's definitely a certain respect and appreciation that you get for little things like warmth and food. Summer is a blessing, for the brief time it's here, and the long winters make you appreciate it all the more. In the winter, it's like everyone hibernates, almost." She motioned down the street, indicating the sparsity of people and the soft, warm glow coming from most of the buildings. There were a few children playing in the snow and some adults bustling from place to place, but for the largest city in Northwind, there were relatively few people out. 
"What brought you here?" She asked, just as they arrived at the door to her home.

It was a short, squat structure with a steep roof, which of course was meant to keep the snow from sticking to it so that it wouldn't collapse in Northwind's harsh winter snows. There was one window and a solid, but roughly hewn, oak door, and the roof and insulation of the house were both provided by thick sod that she had cut from the hills herself. It looked like most of the other structures in this area of town, which was inhabited by many of the day laborers of Iron Gate.
She opened the door and stepped inside, beckoning for Leon to come in as well. Pinky, of course, seemed more than happy to trot inside into the warmth of the sparsely furnished home, and the dog's nose lifted as she sniffed the air. Over the fireplace was a battered cast iron cauldron with stew on to cook, and the dog seemed quite appreciative of the rich, savory scent filling the air.

*What brought you here?* The words seemed to wring on his mind, what was he going to answer , he heaved a unnoticeable sigh before answering, "Game, the land is cold and teems with beasts ready to be hunted for sport." He says before looking at the frozen lands that laid around him. As he entered the home he felt oddly comfortable and for once it felt as if the heat was calming, Pinky then turns her gaze towards her eyes and tilts her head to the side as if to say, "Nice place you have here". Leon then cough soundly, "Well enough about me tell me about the Iron gate Amaryllis? Don't tell me you live here by yourself" He said as he inspected the woodwork of the oak door, he was used to the simplicity of human cities unlike the lavish houses that towered over simpler homes like these he would take this place any day over his own family's lavish mansion made of intrically sculpted polished granite accompanied by pallisades that were patrolled by guards. "It's a very comfortable living space" He said as he sat down near a chair.

Amaryllis nodded and accepted his answer. Northwind was pretty wild countryside, and she had seen first hand the many beasts of the hills ,most of which she had had to defend her flocks from at one point or another. A hunter! She hadn't taken Leon as someone with such an occupation, but then again, most people didn't think that a lone woman could manage herds of sheep, yet she managed just fine all by herself. She smiled down at Pinky and gave her a quick pat before letting her leash go and moving to the trunk at the foot of her bed. The house only had one room, which made heating easy, but also rather reduced privacy. There was a fireplace and a small kitchen, then her bed in one corner, with a small table in the center of the room and then a small living area near the fire. Everything was small and rather coarse, but it fit her, both in size and in what she did for a living. 
"Oh!" She replied. "No, I live here all alone! Just me, really, since..." She stopped, shook her head, then lamely said, "Northwind is a harsh place. Only the strongest live for very long... But Iron Gate is a decent enough city. I mean, I don't know much else to compare it to, but we're growing, slowly. Trade is good, and I make a good living from my flocks because of it."
She rummaged through the trunk, eventually retrieving a pair of dark blue mittens, along with a scarf and a thick coat. "These should fit you!" She said brightly. "They'll keep you warmer, at least."
Bobby
Although it wasn't that cold inside the elf still smiled at the woman's generosity,"Thank you" He bellowed as he put the thick coat over his own orange cloak, Leon then smiled at the thought of using these blue mittens whilst he was out hunting his query. "You live here all by yourself?, how about your parents-that is if you don't mind me asking?" He inquired whilst putting on the mittens. Pinky then naturally returned to Leon's side and laid down on the ground as Leon pat her head. "Tell me how many sheep do you have? It must be back breaking work to manage all of them if you have no one else to help you, It's almost winter an naturally by this time starving packs of wolves or whatever animal you have out there in the wild come down from the mountains for it is too cold and proceed to raid livestock."
Frankie
Amaryllis hesitated, then replied, "Yes, I live here all by myself. My family's been gone for a little over a year now... The plague tore through Iron Gate and they were lost; I just happened to get lucky and pull through." She smiled sadly and turned away, amending, "Though I don't know that I'd call it luck exactly." She went to the fireplace and used the poker to get the flames to roar back to life, filling the room with a soft crackle from the fire as she continued, "73 sheep and 14 goats, currently. We come down from the hills in the winter just for that reason, and this close to the city, we don't generally have any issues with wolves or anything getting after them. Occasionally, but rarely." She stirred the cauldron with a large spoon, sniffing the rich stew before deciding that it was just about ready.
Bobby
"The plague, right im sorry for your loss" He said apologetically before looking out the window to see the beautiful frozen land that laid outwards, "So you also have a home up on the hills?, i guess that makes sense" He said before standing back up and taking Pinky's leash . "Thank you for the mittens and the coat, ill make it up to you somehow, im staying in an inn near town- and i think that it would be horrid of me to eat your food, it's winter after all and no man eats for free" He said in a stern yet polite tone." I promise that ill visit some other time" He said before then proceeding to leave through the wooden door and remarking in his thoughts how the shepherd girl's kindness was something uncommon in his homeland. *I'll make it up to you someday miss* He thought before leaving out in the snow.
