“Wait here.” Aela said before leaving for a short moment. Ariella sat there awkwardly wondering what was happening.
When the door open Aela and Farkas came in followed by Skjor and Kodlak.
“We were going to wait until after the celebrations.” Kodlak said, sitting on a chair, joints popping as he sat. “However, some people-”
“Yes, yes patience of a child I know.” Aela said with a laugh. Farkas handed her a large wrapped package, which Aela handed to Ariella. Ariella cocked a brow and slowly unwrapped the package.
Inside the leathers was a brand new bow with metal tips and the names of all the Circle members carved into the wood. “It can replace the bow you broke in the Cairn.” Aela said with a smile.
The craftsman ship was fine and Ariella was sure Eorlund must have made it.
“Yeah enough with that. Mine now.” Farkas pushed his gift onto Ariella’s lap. She knew what it was before even unwrapping it.
When she did unwrap it she saw a fine steel sword.
“Skyforge steel, only the best.” Farkas commented. Ariella thought that would be all but soon Skjor placed a small satchel on her lap.
“The old man and I noticed you’ve been writing in that scrappy journal with charcoal.” He commented. Inside the satchel was a fine leather journal with a quill and ink.
“Thanks.” Ariella said to them, even though she wasn’t sure why they had given her anything. She had spoken with both of them at length before but she didn’t think she knew them well enough to deserve this.
“So why couldn’t the other whelps see?” Ariella pondered as she put the journal, quill and ink back in the satchel.
“They didn’t get gifts when they joined, but we like you.” Ariella laughed a bit and then a bit more when she realised Farkas was being deadly serious. “You’ve done more for the companions than you know, Shield-sister.”
Ariella blushed under Farkas’ praise, though she didn’t really understand it.
“We better go help Tilma, Farkas you coming?” Aela announced. Farkas grumbled in reply and followed. Aela stopped in the door and turned, “Skjor?” The older man followed her out as well. Ariella briefly wondered where Vilkas had gone off to and then faced the old Harbinger who looked like he wanted to speak.
“Is everything alright, Kodlak?”
“Hmm? Yes, just thinking. Forgive and old man and his age.”
“Um, can I ask you something?” The Harbinger nodded and they made their way out of the Huntress’ room. “What did Farkas mean?”
“Ah.” He chuckled, “You’ve brought peace among the Companions.”
“Peace?”
“Yes. This lot were at each others throats constantly and then you came along.” Ariella was more confused. “You’ll understand some day.”
She nodded and left for the whelp room to put away her new things.
