She thought for a moment and nodded to Arielle. It was a tad silly thinking she could make a batch of clothing within the day. She didn’t have enough yarn, and it was a bit on the chilly side to use any more wool. Valis shrugged to herself, thinking it wouldn’t make knitting fun if she were to rush. She slowed down, and hummed softly to herself as she continued.

Although she stopped once Vivian had appeared from the kitchen in the back of the tavern. “That’s perfectly fine! It smells delicious, dearie!” the centaur spoke when a bowl was placed before her. She picked out a small carrot and handed it to the sugar glider, who was then too concentrated nibbling on the veggie to acknowledge Bernard for the time being.

Once she began eating that tasty stew, Valis noticed the shield maiden take the two who ran the tavern away from everyone. From the noise of the tavern, Valis could only pick up the gist of what was being said, although she felt rather rude for eavesdropping. It wasn’t like the personal lives of the village mattered to her, given she was only staying a few days. However, she couldn’t but wonder as to why the two made trips to the mountain apparently everyone month? They could have family over there or something. 

At the mention of orcs, Valis couldn’t help but think to when they had attacked her own village a few times. Her people often fought them off since many of their warriors were strong and could overcome the brutes. Although what the orcs lacked they made up in numbers. There weren’t many attacks during her lifetime but her parents had mentioned the many times they’ve had to move the herd since the raids were too much to stay in one place. 

It wasn’t like her home had anything of value the orcs could want and their attacks were most likely territorial. She wondered if Reisui had anything the orcs would want if it were the same. She hadn’t had the time to understand orc life or their ways so she wouldn’t know. Losing interest, Valis focused back on eating, going over the few herbs she had on her mentally for if she had to use them on the mission.
