Spears and Shields

Ruse settled in with her brother as they set to work on decorating a few old and beaten up weapons to make them far more festive—and less splintered perhaps. She didn't really know what to think of the news of a feast that had been going around and honestly she wondered if it was all a hoax, but either way she always liked having a little project or task to do with Cerberus. Now that their present family was far smaller than in had been in Fenmyre she found herself spending more and more time with Cerberus, partially because she just naturally gravitated toward being with family and partially because she just enjoyed his company. Together they began to string the collection of beads they had gathered onto leather chords, making decorative strands to hang from their spears and shield.

"I brought some paints too if you want me to add a little color to your shield," she mentioned with a nod to the basket she had brought along. She had spent a bit of time chatting with the eldest daughter of the Matriarch and discovered that the heiress had a much deeper love for crafts than herself. As soon as Ruse had mentioned this project they were planning she had come up with all kinds of supplies to offer her to help. Everything from paints and brushes to adhesives to tools that looked like they were small hammers, chisels, and the like. She certainly didn't want to turn down what was obviously a thoughtful gift so she brought them along even if she didn't really know what all Cerberus had planned.
