Hella's comment brought forth an amused snort, though the smile she shot Skad was more akin to the smile at some shared joke rather than any malicious humour. How many times had Brenna made the same point herself in their travels over the last few weeks? Still, when Skad supplied the word the...

It was an odd thing to see such... niceties from a woman with Skad's face. Each time Hella turned to speak to her she readied herself for some spat insult or degrading comment. Perhaps even an actual fist. Yet nothing came but civilised words and smiles. Brenna quickly decided she was rather...

Out of habit, Brenna's eyes flickered more to Hella's hands as the other woman spoke. The gestures helped to fill in some of the words she didn't understand, and the rest... Well the rest she would have to rely on Skad for. Or pray that her belief in people might once again prove to be the right...

"I don't want to cau---" but Brenna never got to finish her reply. She apparently was too late anyway to voice her concern they might cause offence by leaving. She winced not so much at Hella's words - for she could only understand one in every three - but at her body language. The stiffness to...

Brenna's eyes flickered between the two sisters with the odd glance towards Sar to ensure he wasn't making a return to insert himself back into their conversation. Men such as he did not take humiliation well. She would guess even less so by a Southerner. Despite the easing of violence the whole...

From the story Skad had told Brenna, the punch had been deserved. That didn't make it any less easier to watch. When Skad-- Hella turned her gaze to Brenna next she took a defensive sideways step to put herself between her friend and her twin. It was unsettling seeing an unmarked version of a...

Brenna took a piece of the chewing jerky she had brought from the village from her pack and carefully tore a small piece off. It would do little to fill her but it would at least stave off the hunger. That, and it made her appear almost bored in her strange surroundings. For all they needed to...

With little to see on the journey aside from the lecherous glances from Sar and a collection of snow covered rocks, Brenna took the opportunity to doze against her companions back. Owing to her size Skad was the perfect windbreak. She tugged up the furlined hood and pulled her scarf across her...

Brenna was quietly proud of her friend who had grown so much in their short time together, that she was even hesitating to debate this. If this had occurred when they first met then the snow would have already been drenched in blood. It was why, despite the situation, she found her lips tugging...

Brenna managed to bite her tongue before she could reply with, I don't like any of this. It was unfair. Her entire opinion of the Northern Isles were built on horror stories told by her father, and the glimpses of the dark magic she had seen from Kol and Skad. She had to remind herself that she...

Brenna masked the relief she felt as their foe stepped back. Truthfully, she hadn't thought through the extent of the consequences that could have arisen if he had chosen to take up her challenge. She was fairly confident she would have been able to take him, not least because she had her svalen...

Of course Skad had taught Brenna the word for dick. In fact, several words for it and how it could be used both affectionately and - more often - as an insult. She didn't need to know the context around it in this case however to infer what Skad was talking about, not when their new 'friend'...

When Brenna opened her eyes she couldn't remember straight away where she was. The sky above was her own but the tree line and cove... unfamiliar. She blinked her bleary eyes at the fire in an attempt to clear the dreams that still clung to her lashes. Years of training that the nudge of a foot...

"I don't know," Brenna gave a tired sigh and eyed the mast. There was a nasty split in the wood that meant it wobbled in a worrying fashion as they sailed towards the cove. "I can patch it, but fixing it requires more skills than what I have," her brother would have been able to fix it but ship...

Brenna's eyes narrowed. "I had never thought of that before, how stupid of me," were all Nordenwiir jokes like this? Or... did they just let outsiders assume they were joking? Another headache to navigate in the days ahead, though she doubted there would be much humour among those they tried to...
