SHE HADN'T MEANT TO, REALLY. eyes had transfixed upon the much younger woman for far longer than she'd intended. could one really blame her? seeing a doppelganger is like seeing a ghost of one's self, but substantially worse... because it's with cruel awareness that one knows it isn't themselves. the stench of death and canine along with a different brand of magic really bring home this fact. the minute a different voice comes from similar form, astrid is left blinking, dumbfounded. " I'M SORRY, YOU'RE RIGHT, I - "
IT'S SO PECULIAR, FINDING HERSELF at a loss for words. a shake of head is meant to snap her out of whatever manner of haze she'd found herself in. she clears her throat, digits move to tuck slender, braided strand of hair behind her ear. meanwhile, a flock of boisterous, vocal ravens fly in random, uniform circles overhead. surely, the phantom queen of her middle namesake and the all-father were present here, presiding over this unusual affair. two manage to land near her feet, cawing loudly. " ... WHO - WHO ARE YOU? " ancient accent of both norse and celtic origin becomes more pronounced in the wake of her own confusion.
