''Siv,'' she repeated the name thoughtfully, pairing her silent contemplation with a head tilt. Her knowledge was nowhere near as extensive and in depth as the Godja's, but she recalled the second wife of beloved Thor bearing a name nearly identical to this woman's. A mere coincidence, perhaps. ''That's quite a name to live up to,'' she answered carefully, clearly bewildered by the passerby's inquiry. These conversations normally turned out one-sided, with non-believers (often too analytic for their own good) struggling to find a connection between faith and rationality. Miskunn often saw these situations as beneficial challenges, to which she usually responded in hopes of swaying her interlocutor's opinions. Lilin, on the other hand, did not make it her personal goal to convert foreigners.
This woman was different though. It couldn't have been just a coincidence - wherever she came from, whispers of Vinátta and its customs had found their way to her. ''Some of us, yes. Unfortunately, faith isn't as strong in the younger generations.'' The Stormbringers here in the Maritimes were nowhere near as devoted to the Gods as the elders living in Solbjorg. But with the Godja's guidance and determination, Lilin knew her family would follow in the right path. It was only a matter of time. She found herself wanting to know more about the raven visitor but not knowing where to start. ''What family do you belong to?'' she questioned warily, painfully aware that this female could've been a nemesis by blood, should the Dawnrunner surname be hers to bear. Playing it safe was the smartest thing to do.
