The day had started out clear and bright, but the winds should have told her that it would not stay that way. But in her eagerness to contribute fresh game to the house, she had ignored it and wandered out further than she probably should have. At first she had tried to hunt in the rain, but it was not long before she decided that it was coming down too hard, and went in search of cover.
The little derelict house had always made her sad, and had been avoided for the most part. But there were few other options, so she had quickly ducked under what remained of the roof. She had not been there long when a man suddenly appeared in the doorway. Halldis let out a loud gasp, and took a startled step backwards, raising her bow. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but after studying for a moment she decided that, like her, he only sought refuge from the rain.
“N-No…no trouble,” she agreed, quickly shaking her head. The bow was lowered – though, it had not yet been drawn – and a small, nervous smile was offered, “I just want in out of the rain…I assume it’s the same for you, yeah?”
Oh, thank Kyne. She seemed as startled as he was, and he was quick to confirm with a hurried nod.
"Yeah. Er... Sorry, do you mind if–..." With his back against the doorpost, he scooted inside just far enough to get under what was left of the roof, all the while maintaining a respectful distance. He’d lowered his hands a bit, though not entirely, keeping them in front of him still.
"I'm to deliver a message in Whiterun," At that, he lowered his gaze and nodded to indicate the case on his hip, "I fear if I keep going, there won't be much of it left by the time I get there."
