Sighing heavily, Rosa gets up and starts collecting her articles of clothing and getting dressed so they can go down and get something to eat with the others.
Taking the time to enjoy the sight of Rosa moving around as she begins to dress, Dagmarr reluctantly gets up as well, beginning to don her clothing, a happy smile on her lips.
Looking over at Dagmarr as she pulls her boots on she giggles, "What is that beautiful smile about?" She teases, as if she didn't know.
Thorgr grunts. "Me too."

Getting up she sighs and starts getting ready to go eat. After pulling on her boots she says, "I wonder how Dagmarr and Rosa are getting along?" Standing up she stretches to give him a kiss, "You ready to go get something to eat?"
Thorgr pulls on his clothes. "I'm sure they're getting along well. And, yes, I'm ready."
She nods as she gives him a smile, "Okay love, let's go eat." She says as they leave the room and head downstairs to eat.
Thorgr, Frostine, Sig and Jerrica descend the stairs to find Woden seated at the table drinking a tankard of ale with Galdur as Bruldora sets the table. Woden smiles at the four of you and gestures for you to sit.
Frostine looks up at Thorgr before sitting at the table. Looking at Woden she gets a curious look on her face, "We weren't expecting you back so soon Lord Woden. Has something happened? Is this about the thingy in the mines that we broke?"
Woden shakes his head. "No. It is nearly time for you to leave this place and journey to another world. Firstly, Heimdall had been abducted from Helheim whilst you were saving Hel. We still require his aid to traverse the other worlds. He is held captive in the dark elves' city along with the dwarven captives. I will take you to where they are held. You must take it from there. Fear not, Heimdall will be of much help in your escape from the dark elves and in keeping them where they reside so that they will not trouble this town again."
She looks a little surprised, "Oh...I see."
Woden doesn't know what to make of Frostine's reply so he drinks more of his ale.
"When were you planning on sending us?" Thorgr inquires.
"Whenever you are ready," Woden replies. "Where are Rosa and Dagmarr?"

"They're upstairs...umm...preparing," Jerrica says.
She seems a little distracted but looks up when Dagmarr and Rosa are mentioned, "Maybe I should go check on them? They need to eat too."
Thorgr nods. "Just be...discreet."
She looks at him curiously but shrugs as she gets up, "Okay...I'll be back in a minute." Going upstairs she knocks on the door, "Hey you guys? Dinner is ready and Woden is here and asking for you...are you coming down?"
Hearing the knock and Frostine on the other side of the door she looks at Dagmarr, "Looks like we got ready just in time." Going to the door she opens it and gives the sorceress a smile, "We were just getting ready to come down. Thanks for letting us know." Once Dagmarr is ready she goes downstairs with somewhat of a glow about her, "Good evening everyone, so what's going on?" She asks while holding out Dagmarr's chair for her. Once she sits down, Rosa helps push in the chair before sitting next to her.
Following the girls downstairs she sits back down by her husband, "They were about to come down anyways."
Woden explains the situation to Dagmarr and Rosa. "When do you think you will be ready?"
Thorgr looks around the table and scratches his chin. "Tomorrow, I think."
She kind of shrugs, "I'm good, we can go after we're done eating if everyone is ready then. Though we would like some time to get cleaned up, we haven't had a bath yet."
She nods, "Yeah, tomorrow is fine."
She nods, "Yeah, that sounds fine."
Woden finishes his drink. "Then I shall return tomorrow."
He gives Bruldora a smile before he gets up and leaves.
After he leaves she sighs.
"I just need time to pick up our sleepwear before we leave tomorrow." She says, looking over at Frostine and wondering what had her looking like that.
"Something wrong?" Thorgr asks Frostine.
She shrugs, "I know we have to help a lot of people, but I'm getting tired of constantly moving around, and tomorrow I want to ask him about my baby and when they'll start developing again. I don't want it to stay frozen inside of me forever."
Thorgr nods. "I know...we could always ask Woden if he would let us go home."
She looks down, "I don't want to leave without helping him. We told him we would save his family, and I'm determined to make Loki eat his words."
"I'm sure Woden would understand," Jerrica says. "If you really wanted to."
Looking at Jerrica and their other friends she says, "I couldn't leave you guys. We're all in this together."

She kind of shrugs, "Besides, aside from Thorgr I have nothing to go home to. There's no family that's waiting for me, or even wants me. So why bother? If I left you guys.... I'd be leaving thed only real family that I have." She finishes a little more quietly as she leans into Thorgr and looks down as they wait for dinner.
Jerrica nods. "I know. I don't have anything either...but...you, Thorgr and your baby are more important than this quest. We don't want you to stay if you'd be unhappy or afraid."
Bruldora passes out bowls of hearty stew and puts a basket of bread in the middle. Galdur helps out by bringing pitchers of water, lemonade and ale before fetching tankards for everyone.
Bruldora gives Frostine a wan smile. "I will miss you all and I'm sorry we didn't get to know you a little more, Rosa."
Galdur nods in agreement. "Being chosen by Woden to help him isn't an easy task, but know that he wouldn't pick just anyone."
Thorgr nods and takes Frostine's hand. "We're just afraid of what it means for our child."
Galdur nods again. "I'm sure Woden would not do anything that would harm your little one."
She shakes her head again, the expression on her face resolute in her decision. "Nope, we ain't leavin' and that's that."
She gives their hostess a little smile, "I appreciate everything you've done while I've been here though and I wish you all the very best."
She sits for a few minutes quietly before speaking up again, "I'm not afraid, I just want answers."
"Then I'm sure he will have them for you." Sig says with a reassuring smile. "Tomorrow before we leave, ask him, and if at any time you two want to step away from things we would understand, and don't think that if you did we wouldn't visit every chance we got."
Looking over at Dagmarr as she pulls her boots on she giggles, "What is that beautiful smile about?" She teases, as if she didn't know.
”All about you, beautiful.” Darmarr replies, beaming as she pulls up her breeches. Proceeding to get dressed, she grins as Frostine knocks at the door and Rosa answers. Coming downstairs with a similar radiance about her as Rosa, she blushes as the beautiful dhampir pulls out her chair.
Listening to the exchange after Woden leaves she nods. "Lord Woden would give you the answers you need, and I promise you as long as I have anything to do with it, we will make sure your baby will be safe."
Jerrica nods and attempts to be supportive. "Let's eat though and try not to worry about it right now."
She just nods and tries to concentrate on eating her dinner, even though thoughts nagged the back of her mind. Her concerns fairly obviously in the way she mostly picks at her food, only actually eating about half of what's in her bowl before turning the rest of her milk into her frozen chocolate treat and eating it slowly with a spoon.
Frostine's lack of appetite worried Rosa a little, but notg knowing her very well shed didn't feel like she could really say anything. What would she say anyways. Giving Dagmarr's hand a squeeze she just gives her a little smile as they eat together and keeps her thoughts to herself.
"All we can do is focus on the task ahead of us before we start planning for anything else," Thorgr says. "We'll free Heimdall and the other dwarves first. After that...we'll see."
She nods and leans her head against his arm, "Yeah, you're right love. I'm sorry if I'm being moody, I don't mean to be."
"It's alright, love," Thorgr responds. "It's not like we know how far along on this quest we are."
