Astrid was giving fluffy a fuss as the large dog turned and seemed to smell or hear someone coming, it had taken a while to learn the signs but Astrid did trust Flurry and her abilities. She was also a fairly good judge of character and usually could work out a bad egg pretty quickly. Her rather large furry companion who was more often than not seen with her equally dark-haired mistress. Bounding over the large dog left a muddy pair of paw prints on his upper robes and gave him a lick or 3 before she got her fuss and returning to Astrid resting at her feet lazily as her rather loyal protector. Well resting near her or lazing near the slow-burning fire in the Feasting Hall on cold nights. 

Astrid missed home, well her family. The city she did not miss, though her overly large rescue dog helped fill in the gap, she had to have Fluffy on seeing her first time, there was no option and they had been hard to separate since. Laughing at Fluffy's antics and the muddy large paw marks. He was a regular, Oliver knew what her animal friend was like. [i][color=c4df9b]"Astrids fine Oliver or il set Tora on you again saying you want a date. Preist Reed...or is or father... I am not sure with harvest goddess. It would keep her out my love life..."[/color][/i] Smiling, she did not mind people using her given name, Miss Peterson reminded her too much of her old stuffy boss back in the city. Part teasing, part genuine question, Astrid grew up in City, the Harvest goddess was not exactly mainstream there. Yes, they did follow a fairly alien religion to these parts, it did not stop them learning about what else was about and what people beloved in. Their beliefs did not bar them learning and exploring. Quite the opposite really.[i][color=c4df9b]"Well for one the Mayor's sense of timing is... Questionable to say the least. Did not get much sleep after. 

Red bridge, oh...here. I was curious, there's so much talk of this place, I kind of had to see it for myself. I wondered if it was a place blessed by the Vanir Freyr, and Freyja. Twins who bless the land and households. Just something about today. Felt. Different."[/color][/i] She never had hidden her beliefs, sure they would not convert anyone or force the issue, but had no shame in embracing what they believed however different. Sure she meandered a bit but the first day of spring. There felt something special about it, something was just different when winters icy grip was broken. 

Turning back to more earthbound and practical subjects. The mayor's spring celebration. [i][color=c4df9b]"What's the whole thing with the mayor? Formal, a village gathering? I hope he likes lemon meringue pie. All this is rather new to us. The mayor is also "[/color][/i] hoping he might know more of what to expect she played a little nervously with her pendant, a symbol of strength though it never was that courage was the absence of fear only the ability to keep going regardless of it. A small smile randomly remembering Tora reaction to the little false rumour he might want a date, and her choice of outfit involving a top that less Norse, more naughty tavern wench. She had saved him and got Tora to back off, not before she had turned him pink a few times. Just because she did not play many jokes, or still happened. 

The twins shared quite a few aspects, similar sizes, night-black hair and hard to mistake for anything but sisters. Though more though once you got to know them there where also quite a few differences between them.
