The stranger who thanked the bar person left for wherever.somthing defenitely odd about them and even fluffy clocked her head somewhat unsure what to make of them. Astrid was slightly puzzled as they seemed to all but ignore everyone but the person they paid and left. They where definitely a strange egg, somthing of about them that even fluffy could not be sure of. [i][color=f6989d]"There a odd one... Like creepy odd. Thanks for ice cubes, she loves ice and winter." [/color][/i] Marking him on list of people to maybe avoid in the future, she turned back to her rather large dog who was seemingly happily crunching on ice cubes if not splashing thr floor abit while doing it. The sun was shining into the bar as things began to wake up it seemed in the village, and a few shadows of people on there errands began to become more regular. Unsure as a newcomer about the whole party thing she decided she better ask, the bar woman was probbly round the corner. First turning to her overlarge softy of a newfoundland. [i][color=f6989d]"Stay Fluffy. You do make a mess, silly girl. " [/color][/i] Fluffy was a rather silly newfoundland, dark furred and thick coat the over sized dog was sometimes seen as abit scary on occasions, but her temperament was much more preferring a fuss and a itch behind the ear. Curled up by thr bar her lapping and ice crunching had made the floor a little wet. [i][color=f6989d]"Hey... I'm kinda new in town, know anything about the party? Mayor seemed to be enthusiastic. They seemed... Enthusiastic. " [/color][/i] She had been new to village and most of her time has been taken up by reopening and repairing the mines tunnels and setting up new machines. Still she was unsure if she had earned the village's respect. She was confident about that ngs but always worried, ways having to prove she could do her job. It was not always the easiest choice of profession. Still sat about the bar, it was nice to finaly get put the deep places of the earth and get some sunlight. At least her sisters gift laying next to her feet kept the lonely news away. Fluffy had been a very good companion over past few months and grown slot to be a rather large lady.
