The ice isn't the only thing cracking right now. Spring storms can be violent, and the thunder is strong enough to reverberate in your chest. Outside of the chilly cave, a torrential downpour makes it nearly impossible to leave the cave and get your bearings. However, through the weather, and past the giant things that seem to be moving in the weather, something large looms in the distance.

The rain and the moving things make it hard to be sure, and you can't even see the horizon line, so it's either a very large body of water, some sort of man-made structure off in the distance, or both. Until the storm clears, no one can be sure which it is.

1. Someone, though, their voice just barely echoing off the walls, seems to be coming up with theories. Is it you? Do you think this is a waste of time?

2. Are you trying to go out into the hostile weather, risks be damned? Is it because you don't care? Do you think you can survive it?

3. Being trapped in a cave full of people stuck in pillars of ice is weird, isn't it? Isn't it even weirder that you used to be in one and now you're not? Are you going to help the others trapped in the ice? It should be warned that trying to break someone out when they're not awake to help will shatter the pillar, and the person inside.

4. As the storm clears up, night has fallen. Thunder booms in the distance and the sound of insects and wild animals picks up. Wolves howl in the darkness. Is now the time to make a move, or are you going to stay in this uncomfortable, but untouched, shelter?

Maybe the thing was tamer than she'd like to admit, but she's still going to feel more secure the further it is from her. Especially if it's hungry.

"It's not precisely healthy," she admits. "I have to condition it pretty strongly, or else..." She gestures at her head, making jaggedy motions with her hands to illustrate the damage. Then, she shakes her head and offers a little smile. "Well, hopefully your life's turned out for the better since then? I can understand feeling fed up." Maybe not the time stuff Nora's dealt with, but with a job? Sure.

"I decided to go join the ancient God of the Hunt. I imagine a life of hunting and keeping the status quo is much better than just..." Nora made a dismissive gesture, "Bowing to parasitic gods."

She had Feelings about divinity, it seemed. Astrid clicked his beak and rumbled deep in his chest as Nora gave him attention. "Though, I can understand needing to condition your hair. I am unable to wash my hair frequently where I'm from, so I use a combination of bear grease and washing it once per week. It's very long and healthy because of that."
