Thoughts telling me I'm lost getting too loud
Aster

Her reverie was interrupted by a chirping voice off to the side and... up above? Eyes opening fully now, Iðunn looked around for the source of the voice, her gaze falling upon a small blue bird perched upon a branch. She canted her head to the side, eyes narrowing in curiosity at the small creature, not at all perturbed at the sight of it speaking in the common tongue. It was not too unusual to come across another creature that could converse well enough with a wolf, but to hear it speaking so fluently, more so than herself, well, it was quite fascinating. "Thank you, I have spent a long time perfecting my skills in singing," she said in a very thick Swedish accent, dipping her head in greeting to the small bird as she introduced herself. The name brought a touch of amusement onto her face, as the bird was blue, whereas the aster flower was more commonly found growing in shades of purple or pick. Perhaps the bird was colourblind, and couldn't tell the difference between those colours. "You may call me Iðunn." She purposefully didn't offer up her last name, feeling that it was best to not reveal too much information, even if the creature was just merely some type of blue bird. Iðunn's ears flicked forward curiously at Aster's question, watching the bird for a few moments before stepping back away from the carcass, motioning towards it with one of her now spotlessly clean paws. It had been her intention to leave it out for the birds to clean up the last remaining scraps anyway, so this was a fortunate opportunity that had arisen. But to see such a beautiful bird out by itself drew her interest, and she wondered if perhaps it had gotten lost, or chose to be all alone. She sat back on her haunches again, icy blue eyes locked on Aster, considering the pros and cons of potentially just grabbing the bird to offer as a more exquisite sacrifice. Creatures that were larger, or more unique, were considered a more powerful sacrifice, and her family needed all the help they could get out here in this strange place. |
