Blackbeak Bluff And the rings i am breaking

/feels the rust falling off/ oof

The shieldmaiden had nestled comfortably in the shadow of the giant.  During their travels the man had remained mostly silent and she had followed suit, but in the wordless space between them she took solace.  He had luckily not pressed her for any details of her shady entry to the Teekons and she had not provided them.

But she catches him staring at her, almost intently sometimes and though it does not unsettle her, it certainly piques her curiosity.  She knew just as little about him as he knew of her, and although it made it easier on her as she knew ultimately she would have to say goodbye  to the brute, she did wonder as much about him as he was of her.

She breathes in deeply through her nose as she catches his gaze upon her again.  Does something intrigue you about me?  It is such a bold question but she does not  realize this because where she hails from, it is not an offensive question.
