<div class="floatleft">(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/TheValkryrieJessica/wolf/Astrid.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Astrid<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Skirda, Niteni<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Kayax Village on the way to Skirda's Forge (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178684.0)<br/><strong>When: </strong>Early Morning<br/><hr/><br/>As they began to walk Astrid smiled at the wolf that was to walk with them. Nodding at Nilteni slightly before turning her attention to Skirda who'd began talking again. "It is lovely, and a good reason to be quiet. Though hopefully you'll find your tongue soon." Astrid noticed Skrida wink at her and she started laughing. "I can't promise anything. I was told by my eldest brother once he was sure that the gods had meant for me to be a man. I'm 'quiet when at work and have a man's drive to provide for my family' was his reasoning. So finding my tongue in the forge might be a bit...difficult." Shaking her head she smiled.<br/><br/>Feeling Niteni suddenly beside her Astrid looked down to the wolf. She wanted badly to reach out and touch his lovely fur as Skrida did. It'd been obvious that they were friends however, and she didn't know the wolf well, so she held back. "And of course. I'm here to help with whatever you need." Smiling at Skirda's willingness to help her she nodded in thanks. "I appreciate it, I would like to make sure I know whom holds what rank so that I don't misspeak to anyone. Unlike when I'm at work, I tend to speak my mind once I'm comfortable."<br/><br/>As they arrived at the forge Astrid smiled. Stepping up to the doorway behind Skirda and Niteni she could feel the warmth coming from inside. "My dearest forge, how I've missed you. Come in, it's a far sight warmer in here than anything you'll find out there." Watching as Skirda stomped the snow off his boots after making his way inside Astrid did the same. Once in the doorway she closed her eyes and let out a sigh as she let the warmth from the room wrap around her like a blanket. "Your forge is quite nice. I look forward to working in it."<br/><br/>[Continued in Skirda's Forge thread. (Took care of the link for you Cere.)]
