Eilidh and her mother made their was slowly back to the village as the sun hung low in the sky. They had decided that they would give Freilden a chance within the household. If the two of them had an agreeable time then they'd see about a marriage. Though they both raised brows and exchanged low words as they came into the yard. What exactly has him and Bjorn been talking about? Did this man not realize that Eilidh bested almost all of the men in the village? And those who could she saw as a challenge and a way to better herself with combat. Her mother shot her brother a stern look as her daughter stepped forward as she rolled her shoulder.<strong>'Do you honestly think that this is a joke? Perhaps if you understood why I was given the title of Shield Maiden you'd understand me better.'</strong>Reaching out she caught the axe and sword with ease. Though the sword would be set down as she picked up her round shield and settled it onto her right forearm. Left hand wrapped around the axe as she gave it a spin off of her fingers. Those blue eyes watching him as she took her fighting stance.<br/><br/>Aulhild reached out and grabbed Bjorn's arm and pulled him closer to her side as she kept her eyes on Eilidh.<strong>'I swear if he hurts her then you will have to pay my dearest son. Though I'm sure we both know how this will fair for him.'</strong>Moving closer to the edge of the yard she drew in a deep breath and shook her head at Freilden. This certainly not going to end well for him.
