She refrained from smiling as it seemed out of place on the subject of this “LongNight”, but her eyes betrayed some amusement. ”Fickle gods. I wonder if that’s truly better than having none.” She wondered aloud. The gods may not help their people in her homeland, but they didn’t curse them either.

She paused for a second at the question, and then gave a slight shake of her head. ”No, thank you.” She wasn’t quite ready to push her welcome in this place, and the stew was filling enough to last her. She had plenty of goods from home to trade when she got hungry again. Her eyes followed the glass of liquid as it slid towards her, and she caught it gently with her hand ”I appreciate it.” She said, feeling like she ought to be offering something in return. She decided that once it was time to part ways she’d offer to leave something, that way she didn’t have to do the traditional back and forth of pleasantries that came with offering payment that wasn’t requested.
”Where I come from never thawed either, at least not much of it. I am - was, a reindeer herder. If I minded meat, I would have starved years ago.” She said with a very subtle wry smile.
