Ah! Now Imenry is talking Hilda's language, and the skald looks raptly attentive to the information Imenry is willing to divulge. "Ve vere no born in der same place, Imenry, bot I tink ve are seesters at heart. I vould like to hear dees tales ven dere is time, und I vill tell you stories of my pepple also, und ve vill see if dey meet in der middle, ja?" Imenry's confusion she would be happy to alleviate, and shed a little light on her unique fringe of the Anderfels at the same time. "Mein family has liffed in der fillages of Brandr since der time ven ve rebel against der Tevinter," she said with a touch of filial pride. "Menny in der Anderfels belief in Andraste, und der darkspawn first appear dere - but ve remember ven dey ver no. Albrecht vas called by Andraste, is true, bot for a goddess she is ferry yoong, ja?"
Hilda did not think it cruelty, that the Chantry kept Albrecht's death from her, the details carefully hidden away; it was intentional, yes, but likely not meant in malice, more to cover over some greater thing at work within the gears of the religion. Imenry's hopeful words earned an assured smile. "I vill find out vot happen to him. Of dees I am sure. But Albrecht, he die doing vot he luff, he liff full life, und hees name vill liff foreffer in der kennings. I haff griefed for heem long enough; I choose to honor heem mit heppy memory now."
Better subjects, then, such as Imenry and the topic of motherhood. Hilda's own mother was a fearsome battleaxe of a woman, a warrior-prophetess with a heart of steel and fire; it was no odd topic for her, then, to ponder on the raising of little barbarians in Imenry's tradition, especially since one day, if her wyrd took her down such a path, she would be mother to her own gaggle of warrior-prophets. She smiled and nodded, beaming. "I am der fift' of seffen kinder, four brothers und three seesters. Tvins run in der family," she noted, as if that explained everything, even if only two of her siblings had originally come as a matched set. "Ven I am master skald, I vill be able to marry und have kinder off mein own. Der future is jost as important as der past."
