[ Oh, looks like Astrid has something to say again - albeit not related to the draft, which she's obviously not on. No, this entry is brought to Luceti by her new attempt to read. Not that she's against reading - she read what little Berk had to offer, back home - but it is not her main hobby or even in the top ten.

But she's trying! Which is...something, anyway. ]


Hey. So, I assume some of the books in the library are from other worlds. I mean - I know they are, but I assume they're from the worlds of people here?

So I thought I might ask if anyone has recommendations. Preferably for something with action. But I'll try anything, I guess. That would make it a lot easier than just picking things at random based on title. ...Which is the worst way to choose a book, apparently. Or my luck is just bad today.

[ And if she sounds mildly uncomfortable asking for book recommendations, it's just because she's asking for book recommendations and that's entirely new and weird. ]

Hmm, I don't think you have a picture of her or something so I can see her? You got me curious, though with those names attached to her she sounds both awesome and scary. Deadly Nadder sounds quite impressive.

[He's honestly sorry to now know about dragons now, because if he knew then he probably would understand better why she sounds so proud about the dragon's kind.

He hums again, thoughtfully and for a bit longer, before he answers her question though.]


Because when I left our world she was pregnant.

[He says no more and despite how his tone is calm and honest he won't be surprised if Astrid takes it as a joke or something.]

I don't think there's a reason to swap if you're used to a type of weapon and like it. But even leaving aside the need of ways to keep oneself busy it's probably good to learn about other weapons and how to use them, don't you think? That way if your weapon of choice isn't available you won't be so helpless or lost about what to do.

Unless you're also trained in martial arts and hand to hand combat like boxing or something.
