Alys
And it's like snow at the beach
If Alys was surprised by the man's agreement to a tarot reading in exchange for the pelt, it didn't show; instead, she offered a friendly smile. "I would be happy to do a reading for you - and answer any questions you have." She'd traveled extensively as a seer, working with clients all across Caido, and Halo was by far the place where she'd had the least success, despite it having been where she'd started. She wasn't sure what it was about the tundra that made its people more skeptical, but she was excited now to have the opportunity to show someone new what she could do.
She accepted the pelt with a word of thanks, then glanced towards the workshop that the man had indicated. Its thick walls promised protection from the cold, despite the ever-present frost that glistened upon the heavy timbers of the door. Golden light spilled from a fogged window, illuminating a few figure that moved around inside. Alys could make out the low murmur of voices from within, and after a moment's consideration, she turned back to the woodsman and nodded. "I think that will do quite nicely. If there's a table out of the way, I can perform your reading as well."
Alys gathered up her belongings - fox pelt now included - and whistled softly to Sascha, who had wandered towards a nearby snowdrift. The little ursur came galloping back to her side, accompanying her bonded into the workshop without even the faintest grumble of complaint. "I didn't catch your name?" the seer said conversationally as she went through the door and into the warmth within. Enveloped by the sudden heat, her shoulders descended from their tense position around her ears, her posture relaxing for the first time since she'd gone out into the snow.
