No time to think of consequences

Her deep thought was interrupted by screeching of birds, and it only took her a few moments to locate the pair that were in an entangled mess in the air. She quickly identified them as ravens, recognising the characteristics as the same as the ones back at her birth home. Along with the birds arrived a wolf, as tall as her but built more densely with well-defined muscles. He sounded friendly enough, if a little too much for her taste. Wariness of strangers was built into her very bones, and she perused him over with a blank expression for a good few moments, before offering a shake of her head. Iðunn then turned her gaze to the pair of birds in the sky where they were continuing to squabble with each other, the hint of a smile on her face. Ravens were her favourite bird, and she had thought often about stealing an egg or a baby bird to raise one herself. They were immensely useful creatures, and would be perfect for sending messages between herself and her family. "Your ravens, what are their names?" She asked, letting her native language flow easily off her tongue with crisp pronunciation. If he had two ravens as companions, then perhaps he too knew the language. And sure, she could just ask him in the common tongue he had spoken to her with, but this was more entertaining, and it left her an opening to leave if the situation didn't go as intended. |
