for wenches and mead!

Adventure was exactly why Kaija ended up here. Since the long night and the weird illness that had taken her mother and nearly taken her, she'd vowed to herself to live every day like it might be her last. No lying around feeling sorry for herself or her circumstances and no hanging on to regrets. She wanted to live, doing whatever she wanted, and wherever she wanted. Apparently today that was... here.

It was a little too foggy and dreary for her tastes, but oh well. Maybe it wasn't all bad? Sniffing at the damp air as she lumbered through the forest, Kaija paused when the scent of a stranger touched her nose. "Hey, someone out there?" Adventuring was proving to be lonelier than she'd expected - who knew it was hard to find good company while wandering around aimlessly? - and she was eager to meet someone. Hopefully they didn't prove as boring as this forest.
