Duskfire Glacier Fairest of them all

Hur hur sorry Danica's a prick XD

The not-so-subtle hint didn't escape Danica and she looked over the girl with open skepticism. Any comments she had she kept to herself, though, for with Tuwawi there she deferred judgement. Still, she didn't like the idea of her joining one bit. If she was useful, that was one thing, but letting her in without any evidence as to her abilities to even survive alone, much less contribute, would be a decision based purely on sentiment. And sentiment was hardly the way to run things.

A logical being, she thought with results, and the result of taking this girl in meant more work on their already small numbers in providing for her and teaching her how to survive. It also meant less food for those already living there. The negative effects were heavy. If the decision lay with her, she probably wouldn't even listen to the rest of what the girl had to say. But she had never been particularly giving when it came to others. Tuwawi didn't seem quite so cold, though her reasonable responses thus far made Danica's respect for her rise a bit.

Silently she listened for the girl's response, knowing from Tuwawi's tone and unyielding appearance what she was seeking. If the girl expected to find a home here, she would need to sell herself rather hard.
