βis this your way of keeping me home a bit longer, Himeka?
[asking her about baba yaga and all. but there is no accusatory tone in her voice; rather, she is amused. wanda knows how much himeka likes a story, and in a place like solvunn where technology is lacking and things to do are scarce in a long day, there's a chance all of them are fans of stories.
wanda reaches for the cloth bag, but keeps her hands atop it, making no effort to move yet.]
She can either be a ferocious old woman who fries and eats children, or someone who helps lost travelers. We have a lot of stories about her where I'm from and there are variations in the countries nearby, but what is the same is that she lives in a house with chicken legs deep in the forest.
sounds familiar?]
'Baba' means grandmother or old woman, and 'yaga' is something similar to 'witch'.
