AINO
Not entirely sure what the youth was talking about, Aino nodded all the same. Knowing something in your head and having your body keep up with it was two different things. Coming to a new place with new customs would throw anyone for a loop, she was sure.
"Well, I'm happy te spar whenever ya feel up to it," she offered generously. "Even if you don't do it as a job, you've got some proper potential. Stay alive for another half year, and I've no doubt you'll overtake me." That it might be shorter time than that before she was bested was something Aino carefully chose to ignore. Let her keep her dreams, at least for a while longer.
Speaking of dreams, Sah's reminder had her throw the head back with a bark of laughter. "Aye, that I do! Come right this way, my young friend, and I'll see what the house has to offer."
Extending an arm to drap in comraderly fashion about his shoulders, she led the way off the training grounds and into the Snowcloak. If it had been later in the day, she might have chosen the Kraai - more comfortable, better booze - but for now, the destination she had in mind led them off towards the older houses, where families were big and sprawling and every neighbor was a relative or a friend - or both.

For the good times that we share,
and the bad times that we'll have
and the bad times that we'll have
