The stranger introduced herself as Iolaire and she kindly offered a piece of oak branch for the fire. Drífa smiled. "That's very kind of you!" Io placed the wood chunk in the fire pit and Drífa and Halla carefully placed the smaller pieces of kindling around it in a pyramid type shape. The final touch was adding on the tinder which was mostly bits of dried bark. Drífa settled in to talk as Halla took out a piece of flint and a chunk of metal taken from the Veteran's Plateau. "I had heard there were rare and exotic herbs in these mountains. I was rather hoping to find some but I can't say I've had much luck. I'm hoping the volcano hasn't wiped them out." Halla continued to strike the flint until at last the tinder caught fire. It swiftly spread to the kindling and soon they had a nice fire going. "What about yourself? What brings you to these mountains?" "I talk" | 'I think' |
