Draugr is by me!
Familiar as Siv's home was, Draugr still felt there were hidden mysteries in each corner, shrouded and concealed by shadow and tricks of light. As she settled down beside the dead ashes in the hearth, her eyes roved this way and that, settling on Siv and following her motions about the room. Her doggish ears swept forward and listened as her mother spoke, and she nodded, although it was a slow nod and her brows were knitted in contemplation. What things might she have to do? She wanted to ask, but something in her mother's tone told her to remain quiet and simply listen.
Pale eyes grew wide as she understood, fully, what her mother suggested. It was there, said plainly, and Draugr considered a moment, remaining quiet, and then nodded. Many of us have a higher understanding of the world... spirits and gods and magic. Old secrets, she said, quietly. Draugr was young and had yet to unlock the full potential of her own instincts and subliminal knowledge, wherever it lurked, but she felt its presence all the same, as guidance whispered in the ear. But men are creatures of instinct and nature -- simple beings. She had seen this in the wild world outside her mother's house, of course -- it hadn't been obvious when she'd first ventured out into society proper, but now, she saw it clearly, especially with the way her mother laid it plain.
