[h2]Miina Malina[/h2]

Well, this detour was proving a bit disappointing. No time to leverage the opportunity of access to a [i]library[/i], unless she skipped on the matter of sleeping and got as far into it as she could overnight, and there had been eyes on them the entire time they were there. Even though she hadn't really that strong a desire to sneak off (what would she even do with anything?), the attention was… uncomfortable. That level of observation usually meant that she was about to be in a lot of hot water.

But the food was nice, and Miina was amused by how much more nicely people seemed to be treating her than Izayoi or Chisato. [i]That[/i] was a first, 'strange little Dranan weirdo' always seemed to get the worst in polite company. But national enmity overcame all that…

They were still treating her much nicer than Miina thought she was supposed to be. Was it the hat?

The Skaelan's arrival was a whirlwind of information that Miina mostly ignored for later: go to Solitude, more Valheim, find crystal. Something something spy stuff; all above her head. But it [i]was[/i] nice to have a pretty lady around, even if it was only for a meal, and one that wasn't also her cousin to make looking more… awkward.

But maybe this was why she asked the first question that came to mind, to give the attention a bit more of an excuse.

"H-How could is Skael?"
