Dream A Little Dream Of Me

Before she was able to lunge for the next coyote that she'd been eyeing, it scampered off, clearly terrified beyond belief. Serves it right, Eyrún thought amusedly to herself. They had no business here, and even if they did, she didn't mind running them off anyway. Éldi was dealing with the last one, and she watched with interest as he lapped blood from his mouth, the last coyote clearly dealt with. Their little hunt, if you could call it that, had been a wild success and her adrenaline was soaring. It was making it hard to focus on any conversation in particular, though Éldi seemed as interested as talking as he had been in coyote-hunting.

His father had been the stern type? Interesting. According to rumors, rumors she had always worried were unfounded, her father had been the eccentric sort. Unstable, but devout. Sometimes she wondered if she was more him than her mother. "Staying with Valkyie is what I have planned too. I see little benefit in staying in one place, and in worshiping in private for all my life. The Finnvi were meant for greater things." Not only did she doubt such an idle life was frowned upon by the Aesir and the Vanir, but it sounded dreadful. Count her out. Eyrún found herself grinning at the thought, finally reclining and eyeing the rabbit pile. Some had been picked clean, but a few looked like they had fresh meat on their bones still. Maybe a snack was in order.

"I don't put much weight into thoughts of my future." What lay beyond this mortal plane was what she truly worried about. As for how religious Éldi was, she hadn't the faintest idea, but suddenly she wondered - though she wouldn't shy away from expressing her own beliefs, which was easier now that her breathing had steadied. "At least... not in the way you speak of. I'm more concerned with making sure I'm welcomed into Valhalla someday. It's all that matters to me." Perhaps he'd be turned off by her zealotry? It was hard to be certain, but she wouldn't soften it for anyone, and the way her eyes blazed with passion made it clear she was being deadly serious.
