Lisbeth picked up the long branch, looking at it from end to end. She picked up the last handful of ash in her handkerchief-protected hand. She rubbed a bit more here, a bit more there, wherever there was a spot that didn't look to be coated properly.
"I think it's ready," she said, giving a nod of approval.
She carefully carried the branch over to the door and leaned it against the wall. She would take it to Frey right away.
"I should visit Frey alone."
She rolled her eyes at her sister's disappointed look.
"I don't know if she would want someone else there with me for this part. Plus, you'd make an ass out of yourself, and you damn well know it."
She gave her sister a big hug and kissed her cheek. "I shouldn't be gone long. And when I get back, if Frey is satisfied, I'll have something to show off to you."
She took up the branch--soon to be a bow--and headed out the door. The hard work was done. Now she just had to hope that Frey was satisfied with her work.
