The cheifs dinner

Gilli led me to the armory and pointed out things as we walked saying hello and telling me about the things he's pointed out, I could tell we were near the armory because the heat from the forges came wafting out a good few feet from where it was, I could see a line of villagers with various objects that needed fixing or mending. The men inside reminded me of Gobber and I was hit with another bout of homesickness, reminding me how I would bring Gobber his lunch and join him if he wasn't too busy. I didn't realized I had stopped until Gilli started to pull at my dress removing my hand from my necklace a happy that I've picked up over the years.

There was quite a few men working inside and I decided to wait a bit until I saw Ebbe, it didn't take long for me to see him because of his stature in the back talking to another man. Telling Gilli to wait there I start makeing my way over as fast as I can, and it wasn't untill I was a few feet from both men when they turned to see me. Walking up I reach into the basket and hand ebbe his lunch,

" your lunch from Thora, a woman went into labor and she couldn't make it over, there's some outher meals in here for the outher men I suppose, but she didn't say who they were for."

Ebbe smiles and takes the basket from my hands handing it to the man next to him, soon enough the man shouted.

" MEALS HERE MEN, THE LASS BROUGHT IT COME AND GET IT!"

Soon we were swarmed by men and I was nearly thrown down if Ebbe didn't grab my arm and pull me out of the way of the stampede of burly and sweaty men racing to the basket. It soon calmed and the men dispersed back to where they came from eating their meals.

" so your the lady we saved from the beast a bit ago eh?"

" yes, I'm Alayah, I must say this village is... quite different from what I'm used to but it's nice nonetheless, and who are you may I ask?"

" ah sorry if I was rude my names Selby hallsson, lady Alayah, I see that staff has been doing you well so far, quite a piece of work if I do say so meself."

" you made it? Well I thank you, the craftsmanship is amazing and I don't think I'll be giving it away any day soon."

" I'm glad you like it Alayah, though i must say you don't speak like any of the village-folk I know around these parts, now why is that?"

" That may be because I'm not from around these parts selby, dragons can fly you know and if you must know I'm quite a ways away from my home."

" Hahahah! Well you have quite a sharp tung there lass, im sure your village won't be missing that part of you"

I grip my staff at the comment wanting to thwack him with the end but I restrain myself and smile.

" oh trust me if I know my village there's quite a few people looking for me, and unless you want to fight a battle that you won't be able to win I suggest you hold yours, mr selby hallsson. I'll see you at the hut ebbe."

Turning back with one last glare at selby I leave the men, going to find Gilli or wander for a bit. I never did find Gilli I figured he wandered off after he got bored or something. The day ended and I had walked through most of the village only stopping to sit in the grass every now and then for a break. Over the next few days I got the layout of the village and knew where the hut is along with some outher buildings, I had seen Olaf and his freinds at least once a day either all together or separate. I had conversed with some of the woman as well preferring the company of the older woman as opposed from the younger one and soon the day came where I would have to tell my story to the Cheif and his family.
