"I'm glad at least one of us is checking up on her. And yes, I would appreciate your company." Valvius sat down on the lip of the cooling forge, the heat warming his back. 

"When would we go?" Val looked away from the sword and towards the ground, contemplating. Tomorrow would be the best time, he supposed. It was said to be warmer, and maybe if the snow didn't freeze overnight, the trip would be safer and less taxing. He was glad Renal offered to accompany him, he probably would've kept delaying if he didn't have someone with him. With the knowledge that his friend would be by his side, Valvius felt more confident about going outside. Besides, on the way back he could maybe even go to the market. Or he could go beforehand and get her a present. He assumed she still had a fascination with horses, that was something he never thought she would grow out of. Maybe it was finally time to get back in touch with his sister. Maybe even stay outside for longer than an hour. Maybe.
