"You're lucky, you know. To find such a guy. Most people would have refused him. Too nice, they would most likely say."
-
"And those same people end up getting their hearts and bodies broken by awful people. Which is why I never say things like that."
-
She smiles. "Wise."
-
"Yup." [b]Astrid sighs happily and stretches.[/b] "What else to talk about....."
-
"I have no idea. Which is strange, considering I have spent the last ten thousand years in a rusty cage..."
-
"Yeah, I won't pry into that, it seems like something that you wouldn't want to talk about."
-
"It was mostly boring. All he ever did was test his plagues on me and check how long it would take for me to regenerate from them."
-
"That sounds awful, I can't imagine the pain that you felt..."
-
"Oh, there isn't much pain. I am a god, after all. You get used to it after a while."
-
"Alright.. I'll at least make sure you don't have to deal with that stuff ever again."
-
"Thank you, Astrid. Your hospitality... it warms my heart." She smiles.
-
"Thank you..." [b]Astrid smiles back.[/b] "Do you need anything right now?"
-
"Oh no, I'm quite alright. Thank you. You should go find your beloved, I am sure he misses you."
-
[b]Astrid nods and gets up, waving to her before walking out of the room. She then looks around for Noiratrom[/b]
-
She could feel the power of the new god being used in an area of the palace, perhaps where the garden was to be built.
-
[b]Astrid walks over to it, taking on her normal form along with a silk dress. Her eyes filled with excitement.[/b]
-
He stood in a clear patch of land within the palace, exotic trees and flowers growing along a path, with a stream of pink water.
-
[b]Astrid looks at it with wonder, barely containing her joy at everything.[/b]
-
He notices her arrival. "Nice dress... what did Isha say?"
-
"She loves the idea and is fine with the normal growth of the land, but she wants wraithbone flowers."
-
"Alright then. I'll have wraithbone flowers grow as well. How is she doing?"
-
"Good, she had quite a few things to say about our relationship."
-
"Really? What things?"
-
"That we make a cute couple and I was smart to fall in love with you."
-
He smiles. "Good to know I have her blessing."
