The dwarf was taken aback for a moment; he took a deep breath and pondered what the woman had said. She stated ‘before he shifted’, meaning she most likely knew that Erebus was a skin walker. What was most curious to the dwarf was the fact that she seemed  quite at ease with it, and not insistent on cutting Erebus’ head off before he awoke.<br/><br/>“Seen skin walkers before have you, lass?” The dwarf asked inquisitively as he slipped into the room behind the girl and closed the door.<br/><br/>The dwarf leaned his hammer against the wall, along with a single bladed axe that was stuck in his belt.  A large leather bound book that bore a locked clasp, and  was secured to his body by a chain that ran through the binding was also placed next to the weapons before the dwarf focused his attention on the leather satchel at his hip.
