"It's alright," Hel says. "I thought I should inform you of that."
She lets out a little sigh, "Hel still doesn't remember a whole lot and is somehow blind. We don't know yet if it is just temporary or what...we hope it is though. We'll do our best to figure it out though." She says resolutely.
"Great...so what should we do after breakfast then? Talk to the villagers?"
Thorgr shrugs. "Maybe not yet. Perhaps we ought to see if Hel improves before setting out again."
Corrie returns with Frostine, Thorgr and Hel's drinks. "What would you like to drink, Dagmarr, Sig and Jerrica?"
"Milk, please," Jerrica says.
She nods her head, "Yeah...besides I don't even know what we would ask them and I'm not in a hurry to be insulted again. I don't really want to go anywhere until we know whether or not this blindness is a permanent thing....hopefully it's not...but if it doesn't go away maybe we can figure out a way to fix it, or find someone that can help? I don't know." She says as she wraps her hands around the tankard and starts to freeze it while turning it into the frozen chocolate concoction that she loves so much.
"I'm guessing Woden hasn't been around yet?" Thorgr asks Corrie.
Corrie shakes her head.
"Tea please. Whatever type you have is fine." Dagmaar replies.
"Juice if you have it, thanks." Sig says sitting beside Jerrica.
She sighs as she stirs her frozen drink before spooning some of it up, "I guess maybe we should try to find him first then. Do you know which way he went Ms. Corrie?"
"I really don't know," Corrie answers, going to get everyone's drinks. "Breakfast is almost done."
"One way or another we will figure it all out. In the meantime you have somewhere safe to recover from your ordeal." Dagmarr says to Hel.
Getting a worried look on her face she asks, "Should we go look for him?"
"I'm sure he's fine," Thorgr says. "There are a lot of things for him to look into."
Hel nods, sipping her drink slowly.
After eating some of her frozen chocolate drink she sort of looks up with a perplexed expression on her face, "Then...what should we do?"
"Enjoy our day?"
She shrugs, "I guess we could try that...I just...I don't know, I still feel a little uneasy I guess?"
Thorgr nods. "But it's good to take advantage of these moments when we have them available."
She leans her head against his arm and sighs, "Okay love...I know I slept..but I still feel tired for some reason." She says as she stretches a bit, "Maybe I should just go back to bed."
"Downtime is rare enough that we should enjoy it when we have it." Sig says thoughtfully.
Corrie returns with breakfast: hotcakes, eggs and bacon. "Not before you eat, Frostine."
She nods, "Okay Ms. Corrie." She says as she waits for the food to be set down. Once Thorgr gets what he wants she take a hotcake, a small scoop of eggs, and one piece of bacon as her stomach feels like it's doing flip flops. It was probably just her nerves from being in a place that was dark all the time and not sure if they did everything they were supposed to do here or not.
Dagmarr describes the food to Hel, asking her what she would like to have and guiding her hands to the plate and utensils. "If you need more help just let me know."
"Just some eggs, please," Hel tells Dagmarr.
Jerrica helps herself to a reasonable amount of each after making up Sig's plate.
Thorgr munches on a piece of bacon thoughtfully as the others fix their plates.
Frostine picks at her plate, while finishing her chocolate drink.
Dagmarr serves Hel a moderate amount of eggs, helping her manage as needed.
Hel eats and drinks slowly, managing most of it by herself. As you eat, the door opens and Woden walks in. "You found her, good."
"Who is that?" Hel asks Dagmarr.
"Woden!" Thorgr exclaims. "We were wondering what happened to you."
"There are many things going on that I needed to see to," Woden says. "I am glad that my arrival is timely."
She nods as she still picks at the food on her plate, "We're glad you're back as well. We were trying to figure what we needed to do next." She says with a yawn.
Woden sits down at the table and helps himself to a piece of bacon. "Now you must travel to the Ulvens bridge. I have spoken to the villagers and the thefts have stopped. I surmise they were stealing food for Hel. After defeating the guardian, you must press on and retake Hel's palace from Loki's dark elf allies."
"I guess we did something good then," Jerrica says. "What about Hel? She cannot see or remember much."
"She will recover in time," Woden says.
She cocks her head to the side slightly as she looks at Woden, "So then...she should probably stay here while we go take care of all that?"
Woden nods. "Probably the best plan."
"So..when should we head that way?" She asks as she tries to take a few more bites of the eggs.
"After breakfast, I reckon," Thorgr answers. "Unless you need to take an easy day."
"There is no rush," Woden says. "Whenever you feel ready to face the challenges before you."
She sighs, "As much as I'd like to just plow through the jerks and get it done...I'm just...I'm feeling tired and I think I really need a day to rest and take it easy. The last couple of fights were pretty fearsome....but we were tougher....but we can't just go non stop all the time without giving ourselves a chance to recharge. A$$holes are a$$holes no matter when you kill them, and I doubt they're going anywhere anytime soon." She says pretty bluntly as she pushes her half finished plate of food away, "I'm just feeling kinda icky today anyways and I don't wanna put too much stress on myself right now." She says as one of her hands subconsciously makes it's way to her still pretty flat belly while she yawns again and closes her eyes for a minute while sitting in the chair.
Woden nods. "I must head to the Golden Hall now. It will be some time before you see me again. If you finish your task here before I get back, someone will guide you to the next place that needs your help."
She nods, "We understand. Be safe."
"That was Lord Woden. It is he who sent us to find you." Dagmaar says answering Hel's question. "As you rest here you should get stronger and recover, hopefully your sight as well as your strength. If not, I'll find a way, I promise."
"Farewell until then. We'll take the fight to them!" Sig says emphatically.
Woden smiles at the group. "Be safe as well."
He takes another piece of bacon before departing.
Sighing she leans her head against Thorgr's arm as he eats, "I think I need a soak and the bed. Maybe next time I wake up I won't be feeling so crappy."
