man she would LOVE kindred and also the freljord

Astrid makes a noise, a kind of strangled laugh: โ€œCould yโ€™imagine? Being able to cut yourself in half anytime youโ€™re lonely and just want someone to talk to.โ€

Itโ€™s not meant to be mocking or irreverent, though, just warm and familiar: this is the kind of story that her own people would have told around the campfire, too. โ€œDo you think of Death as a hunter, then?โ€ she asks, musing, and looks over to their pile of belongings on the lakeshore.

Her bowโ€™s sitting there, as are her hunting knives, her Thousand-Cut Blades. It pays to stay armed and prepared out here, the Blasted Hills carrying dangers from both wildlife and darkspawn. To her, Death is the sky, but this doesnโ€™t sound too alien either. The knife to the aorta. The arrow buried in the throat.
