Dirty little secret
07-10-2019, 10:40 PM
At this point Hymn was certain he wasn't going unnoticed. He'd spent much more of his time around Eisleif than anywhere else recently. He wasn't hiding but he also wasn't sure if his presence had been explained yet... He trusted Eis would know what was best, but he couldn't help but feel like he was a bit of a terribly kept secret and as much as he didn't want to push his bounds Hymn was also much to old to play games anymore. So today as he approached the island he chose not to seek out the snowy woman, instead simply sitting on the sands and waiting. He idly wondered if he was about to be chased off or if Eis would come to his rescue. Not that he was just going to roll over either. "speech" |

It was Inga who had alerted Valkyrie to the presence of the elderly male. She'd been keeping watch of the mainland facing beach since the band had begun stashing their goods on it. A brief description had been given to Valkyrie and after determining she was unfamiliar with him, Valkyrie began to make her way to him.
She found him sitting on the beach. The wind brought his scent to her and though she couldn't put a name or encounter to it, she thought it was familiar. After a few more steps it occurred to her why it was so familiar. She had scented him before. On more than one occasion his scent had mingled with Eisleif's.
More curious than hostile now, Valkyrie picked up the pace. The bear skull halves were still new enough that she was aware of their weight. Currently the pieces were separated. The lower jaw hung around her neck with teeth pointing outwards while the head portion was also tied around her neck but thrown over her shoulder so that it banged against the right side of her rib cage. The first time she wore them she'd felt their power and that had inspired her to carry them with her at all times. Only in battle would it be worn over her head and imbue her with the ferocity of a bear, but at her side it was a constant reminder of what she could have and it filled her with its hunger.
She made no effort to hide her approach, and her gaze was open and unabashed as she studied him. Finally she was within speaking distance and she slowed to a stop before him. Her stance was casual; she knew what she could do; she feared few wolves and even fewer old men. "You are a stranger to me," she said coolly as she sought his gaze. "And yet everywhere I go, you have been. Why is this?"

This character has a noticeable Icelandic accent!
Valkyrie also has a female melanistic japanese macaque named Inga. Unless she's mentioned IC it's safe to assume she's not with her master.
It can be assumed that Valkyrie has a bear skull mask hanging from a strap around her neck at all times.
