(522) PPed them walking back to Jordheim to move things along! Hope that's ok. :> I'll post your acceptance message in a sec. You can post once more if you'd like and I'll archive this.
She knew little about Inferni and practically nothing about New Dawn. As a matter of fact, she couldn't recall the last time she'd heard of a pack bearing this name. Outside of her immediate family and her pack, Lilin paid no heed to others. However trivial the information, she was thankful for the details provided by this prospective joiner. The Virding merely nodded her approval, a gesture meant to dismiss their current subject of conversation. She did not fail to notice the girl's subtle growth in confidence when questioned about her abilities. Cooking and tailoring weren't crucial to Vinátta's survival but they were definitely an asset; although Lilin preferred her meat raw, she knew for a fact that her pack mates enjoyed savory changes once in a while. Her clothing creations would certainly be a trading bonus. And lastly, her love of children was certainly commendable.
Andara and Temeraire were on the brink of adulthood so their need for a babysitter was nill. But according to her cousins, a rambunctious child named Sura was often on the loose. Perhaps an assigned guardian would keep her out of trouble. Lilin was about to speak when her attention was absored by the unexpected shift before her- she waited patiently until Luperca was able to stand on two legs. Then she finally spoke, turning on her heels as she gave the newcomer a brief rundown of Vináttan customs. ''I'll give you a chance to prove your worth. I'll escort you to Jordheim, our village of residence, where you may claim an empty house as your own.'' They had plenty of those. The Virding couldn't help but wonder if Luperca had ever seen earthen domes like the ones in Jordheim. ''Come.''
Lilin glanced over her shoulders and made sure the pack's newest Risna was keeping up before leading the way through beaten trails. She opted for a different path this time, knowing many of them led to the heart of their pack lands. Luperca would perhaps have some difficulty finding her way around at first, but it would eventually become a second nature to her too. Upon arrival, the Soulstorm heir halted by one of the houses used for storage where she picked up a customary welcome pack. ''You'll find three pelts of various sizes in here to keep you warm among other useful things,'' she explained, handing the bundle over to their newest member. A hunting knife, a dagger and a bottle of wine constituted the rest of the pack. ''This--'' she continued, opening her hand to reveal a hand carved Mjölnir attached to a necklace- a depiction of Thor's hammer. ''is a Frithr necklace. It is worn by most Vináttans as a symbol of peace and unity.''
She deposited the amulet on top of the bundle, before allowing a welcoming smile to crack her serious facade. ''It's a bit much at first but you'll settle in just fine, I'm sure. I'll leave you to your things if you don't have any other questions. Maybe you can start by finding a house to make your own.''
