Nova Peak My friends aren't far,

Taki offered a stiff nod. If you pull your weight, I'm sure you'll move from thrall if that is what you want. She assumed as much since she made a point to bring it up. It wasn't as if Taki was unaware of her rank. 

You are from the north? she asked with obvious interest. I am also from the north. I traveled here with some of my family a few years ago. I too like to find climates that remind me of home, although nothing here quite compares. The glacier was the closest thing she had found but mentioning it would open her up to more questions about it, and she did not like to talk about it. She wondered, though. Do you speak the language of the north? she asked, switching over to her native tongue. It had been a long time since she found someone outside of her family that spoke her preferred language.
