Getting an annoyed look on her face she sighs, "Oh good grief...some of those people that were here a little bit ago were from that town. I should have asked them where it was. Oh well, too late now I guess. Sorry, I just remembered they were from there. It's okay though, I'm sure when we need to get there that we can figure it out."
Frostine looks thoughtful for a moment, "Well...Lord Woden brought us here through some kind of portal, so we don't really know how far we are from it, or where it is exactly either. I guess we can figure it out later." Looking over at Jerrica she says, "We can probably find someone somewhere that can tell us where it is and how to get there. I'm sure we'll figure it out in time to make it there for their wedding." Giving Arista a little smile she says, "Thanks, it's nice to have a place to call home again." She gets a distant look on her face for a moment, before shaking it off and putting the smile back on her face.
Though she tries to hide it, a look of relief crosses her featurws. Frostine smiles while nodding, "Of course, there's no rush to make any long term decisions. Ummm...so, when you go back for their wedding, we can go with you if that's okay? I mean, if you don't think they'd mind?" Frostine kind of looks down for a moment, unsure of exactly how to say what she's thinking. There was always so much going on in her head at one time, it was hard to separate them sometimes. Taking a breath, she lets it out slowly before looking back up at Jerrica and Sig, "I'm sorry I didn't go with you to meet up with your friends before. I just...I thought since it had been so long since the last time you saw them, that maybe you'd want some time alone with them. I can tell how important they are to you though, so they're important to us as well. I'd really like the chance to get to know them, if you don't mind us coming?" She asks, even as she seems to think of something else. Looking over at Arista she says, "I'm sorry, I didn't even think to ask if it was alright with you if we stayed here, and do you know how far away that Valwick place is from here?"
Going over to Jerrica and Sig she looks up at her friends, "So...since there's really nothing left for us to do here...I mean, with the catacombs and stuff...are you guys gonna want to go back to Valwick to be with your friends? It's totally fine if you do, and we promise we will still come to visit and everything. I...I'd really like it if we could all get together for the holidays. I've never really had a family to spend them with, before now that is." She looks slightly nervous, as if having trouble finding the words to say what she's feeling. Frostine didn't want to lose her friends, but she also wanted them to be happy.
Nodding she takes her husband's hand, "Yeah, we can always help them...chill out." She says with a snicker, followed by a small yawn.
Frostine looks at Rosa as she hands her the key to the crypt, "I know we cleared it out, but be careful anyways."
Frostin shakes her head, "I think I've had enough of dirty gross places for one day. Thanks anyways. Right now I'm feeling more like, food, bath, and bed. Most likely in that order. I feel like it's safe enough for you to take them that far." She says while looking over at Dagmarr. Frostine wonders how their cleric would feel about Rosa going down there alone with people they barely knew. She thought that Dagmarr would probably trust Rosa to take care of herself, but she wasn't going to assume to know how Dagmarr felt. She just waits to see what thed others think.
Frostine nods, "Oh...okay, I just....you seemed really far away. I'm sorry if I was pestering you while you were thinking. If you want or need to talk through any of that stuff, we're here." She replies, unsure of exactly what she should say. She wanted to just let Arista know they were there for her, but she didn't want to seem like a pest.
Not having gotten a response out of her, Frostine gently shakes Arista's arm again, "Ms. Arista? I asked if you were okay. Can you hear me?" She asks, the concern clear on her face, as well as in her voice. Truth be told, Arista going blank like that sort of freaked her out a little bit.
Frostine notices the distracted look on Arista's face. Sharing a look with Rosa as Cyna talks about things she doesn't really understand, Frostine gets up and goes over to Arista. Rubbing Arista's arm she gets a concerned look on her face, "Ms. Arista? Are you okay?"
Frostine seems to think for a bit as she takes in everything Sadhana says. Finally looking up at her she replies, "Ooohhhhh....well, that sounds pretty important. I think some of that is right over my head, but I don't take you for a liar, and you don't seem crazy....so it must be true. We've seen our fair share of crazy and impossible things, and none ofv us are from this world either sooooo.....what you're saying doesn't seem strange to me. Though....I still don't know who you are, let me start the introductions." Finishing her frozen chocolate treat, Frostine puts the cup down and stands. Standing she comes to about five foot six, although petite, her eyes have the look of someone that has seen much. Extending one of her petite hands she says, "I am Frostine Finnison, and this gentleman is my husband Thorgr. These two ladies," Indicating the Skald and thed rogue, "Are Sig and Jerrica, and our two more recent friends and companions sitting over there are Dagmarr and Rosa. We came here from....well, it's kind of hard to explain. We were helping Wooden to free his kin from Loki's nefarious schemes and deceptions. One night we all had the same dream involving Ms. Arista and her troubles here, so we felt compelled to come help. Wooden brought us to Valwick to meet up with some friend's of Jerrica's, and then brought us here." She leaves it there to give her a chance to take it all in and introduce them to her and the rest of them.
Frostine takes another bite of her frozen chocolate treat before shrugging, "Yeah, so since none of us has been imbued with any special kind of power from a God or anything, we just thought we would bring that journal back to you and let you know about it Ms. Arista. Like Rosa said, we did take care of everything else in there though, so the way to the door is clear. We were in the process of bringing you what we found when we ran into these people outside, and well...here we are. The question I have is what they're doing here. It doesn't seem likely to me that a group of people would come allll the way out here, just to deliver a letter." Frostine says, her piercing blue eyes coming to rest on the tall tattooed woman with the shocking white hair. Getting a curious expression on her face, she asks the woman directly, "Soooo....who are you exactly, and why did you come all the way out here? What is it that you're after exactly?" After asking her question, she continues tuo eat her frozen treat, her attention otherwise solely focused on the strange woman in front of her.
Frostine looks over at Arista, "I think I'll just go get some milk while you are all talking about that Ms. Arista." Giving her love's hand a squeeze, Frostine gets up and goes to the kitchen. A few minutes later she comes back with a cold tankard of milk and a spoon. Holding the tankard in her hands, ice starts forming around it and the liquid inside begins to freeze. Taking her spoon, she stirs it around while applying a little magic to make it the flavor that she wants. She sits there quietly as she scoops the frozen chocolate treat up with the spoon and takes bites of it while smiling and leaning into Thorgr.
Frostine puts her head on his shoulder, "Hmmm...I guess not." She sort of shrugs, "Well...I don't want to assume anything about what Arista might or might not want to do...I guess we'll just see okay? I'd be okay staying here and helping out with other stuff though, if that's what she wants to do." She gives his cheek a kiss, "Like I said, anywhere is home to me as long as you're there."
Frostine looks up at him confused, "Oh? I just...I didn't know if there was anything else left down there that we needed to take care of. I didn't know you felt that way, or what you would want to do....but I'm not even sure what Ms. Arista wants to do, or what's going to happen next. All I know for sure, is that I love you and wherever we end up will be okay with me, as long as we're together."
Frostine nods and waits for Thorgr. As he comes up and puts an arm around her, Frostine just sighs and leans into him as they go in the house.
Waving a hand dismissively she says, "It's fine...I mean...it's not your fault. I'm not upset at you really...someone else used to call me that and I just...I guess I still miss them sometimes. It's not like you knew. I think we still have some stuff to figure out, so let's just concentrate on that for now okay?"
Hearing the nickname that only one other used to call her causes her stop mid step. It wasn't right coming out of Rosa that way, and even though she knew that Rosa didn't know about that part of her life...it still hurt to hear someone else call her that. Sticking out her lower lip she says, "Don't call me that." Turning around quickly she heads back to Arista's, not wanting everyone to see the hurt look on her face. Remembering Sugar Snap still made her a little sad and homesick.
Recognizing at least two of those in the other group, and realizing that they came from that same nice town that Jerrica's friends were in, helped her visibly relax a little.
Frostine gets a very confused look on her young face, "Are....are there two Arista's?"
Frostine shares a look with Rosa before stepping up to stand next to Arista. Even though she didn't really understand everything that was going on, she felt like she needed to show Arista that she had their support.
A look of remembrance comes to her young face, "Oohhh yeah, it was that lovely town with all those lovely people and delicious food. Hey, isn't that where your friends were Jerrica?"
Frostine gets a confused look on her face as she looks up at Arista, "Arista...but....you are Arista. I don't understand...." She gets quiet as she tries to figure out what's going on.
Frostine just sighs and turns around to face the approaching group, while looking in the direction of Arista's house to see if she heard the commotion that Rosa had made. She wasn't really sure who these people were either, and they weren't really close enough for her to see them clearly....but something about the very tall one seemed somehow familiar.
Frost appears on the ground around Frostine as she cocks her head edver so slightly to the side, "No buts, drop it...now."
Shaking her head, Frostine steps in front of Rosa's gun. Putting her hands on her hips, she levels a look at the trigger happy gunslinger, "Put the gun down right now. They can tell us who they are without you pointing a weapon at them. Not knowing who they are, is exactly why pointing a weapon at them is a bad idea. We're all here together, and Arista isn't far away if there's trouble...but, we WILL NOT instigate it. Am I making myself clear?"
Frostine groans and shakes her head while bringing her hand to her face, "Ohhh no."
Frostine indicates the figures approaching the town, "Looks like we might have company. Hope they're not lookin' for trouble."
Frostine nods in agreement with her husband, "Yeah, that should be left up to Ms. Arista. Besides, we've already cleared everything out, so getting back to this point won't be difficult if we need to come back. Let's just get out of this place for now. I detest being underground. It's so....dirty." She says, while making a face.
Frostine looks around the room, "Huh, I wonder who that was."
Frostine nods, "That sounds like a good idea to me."
Letting out a breath she didn't even know she was holding, Frostine runs to Thorgr as the last skeleton falls. "Are you alright love?"
Frostine fires off a couple more bolts of energy at the skeleton in front of Dagmarr and Jerrica.
Frostine holds up her hand and fires off two more bolts of energy at the skeleton in front of Jerrica.
Frostine holds out her hand at the skeletons and uttering some words, fires off two bolts of light at the skeleton that Rosa first hit.
Frostine nods as the others discuss the door they foumd, "Okay, I just need her to understand that I'm not stupid, and talking to me that way just makes me feel bad. I just don't want everyone treating me like some fragile thing, just because I'm pregnant." She says, as she tries to express her feelings.
Frostine sighs but allows herself to relax slightly, "Fine, I get it...but I can't help how it makes me feel when I'm talked to like that. It makes me feel like you guys think I'm stupid or something, or that I don't know that there are things that could hurt my baby. I may be young, but I'm not stupid and I just wish...I wish people would stop talking to me like that. There are better ways of saying things, and while I understand that not everyone is good at expressing things well, I need you guys to understand that I'm gonna feel defensive when I feel like people are bossing me around and telling me what to do." She says a little quietly as well. While her tone is still one of frustration, it softens a bit. Wiping her eyes she looks up at Dagmarr, "You guys might see me like that....but it's hard for me to see me that way...or think that others do. I was treated like a leper back home because of what I am, and I had to deal with a lot of stuff on my own...so it's hard for me to accept that other people care about what happens to me, even if they don't express it in the best way or in ways that make me feel like they're trying to baby me. It's difficult to explain...but I care about all of you too, even that pain in my ass. I will try to be more careful, but I need you guys to lighten up on me a little bit too and realize that I'm aware of the dangers out there." After a few seconds Frostine sighs and looks back down, "I'm sorry okay? I don't know how to explain why it makes me feel that way, I guess I'm really not used to people caring about what happens to me, or taking such an....active interest in my well being." Shrugging her shoulders, Frostine chews on her lower lip. "I really don't know why it bothers me so much, but I'll try not to be so sensitive."
Frostine sighs and looks back down, "I'm sorry okay? I don't know how to explain why it makes me feel that way, I guess I'm really not used to people caring about what happens to me, or taking such an....avtive interest in my well being." Shrugging her shoulders, Frostine chews on her lower lip. "I really don't know why it bothers me so much, but I'll try not to be so cranky."
Frostine sighs but allows herself to relax slightly, "Fine, I get it...but I can't help how it makes me feel when I'm talked to like that. It makes me feel like you guys think I'm stupid or something, or that I don't know that there are things that could hurt my baby. I may be young, but I'm not stupid and I just wish...I wish people would stop talking to me like that. There are better ways of saying things, and while I understand that not everyone is good at expressing things well, I need you guys to understand that I'm gonna feel defensive when I feel like people are bossing me around and telling me what to do." She says a little quietly as well. While her tone is still one of frustration, it softens a bit. Wiping her eyes she looks up at Dagmarr, "You guys might see me like that....but it's hard for me to see me that way...or think that others do.

It's difficult to explain...but I care about all of you too, even that pain in my ass. I will try to be more careful, but I need you guys to lighten up on me a little bit too and realize that I'm aware of the dangers out there."
Frostine stays well behind the others as they go exploring the dirty ol' hallway. The most dangerous thing here, was the dust. She despised getting dirty, and she really didn't want to start sneazing, so...as Dagmarr starts walking down thed hallway after the others, Frostine stops after a few feet and crosses her arms, refusing to moved ahead any further into the horribly dirty hallway.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she looks up at Dagmarr with an expression of mixed emotion. Lowering her voice so that her words don't carry to the others ahead if them, "I'm not some baby, and I'm getting tired of your girl treating me like one, and bossing me around." Even though her volume is lowered, there's no mistaking the anger and frustration in her voice as it shakes slightly.
Still feeling humiliated and huffy she says in a pouty voice, "You're welcome. We can't lose our weapons in the middle of nowhere with no way of replacing them. Don't worry, I'll just stay back here....out of everyone's way." Frostine can feel her face getting hotter as tears threaten to fall. She hated being talked to like some idiot child. It wasn't fair, and she wasn't stupid....but that was exactly how Rosalina was making her feel, and she hated it. It reminded her too much of her parents, and how they would treat her. Frostine also hated feeling like she was not in control of her feelings. Cold air rises off of Frostine as she turns away from Dagmarr, aznd covers her face with the hood of her cloak. She didn't want anyone seeing her like this. Vulnerable and weak. Frostine wipes her eyes, and pinches her arm to make herself stop crying. She would give anything to be invisible right now. Ice forms all around her on the ground as she fights back her feelings.
Frostine stays quiet in the back of the group as they continue on. She didn't understand why Rosalina felt the need to keep bossing her around.
Frostine just stands quietly in thed back. Shed was afraid of what mightg come out of her mouth if she opened it.
