Raven had never been to Helga's house before, and so he was confused as to why she lived in such a modest-looking place. However, the moment she set a cup of tea in front of him and sat down across from him, his attention was once again back on the important matter.
"Have some…" She offered, sliding the cup forward on the coffee table alongside a dozen home-baked cookies. Their shapes closely resembled monsters like dragons, griffins, and a seven-headed dog.
Noticing the confusion on his face about the unique shapes of the cookies, Helga glanced over to her daughters peeking at the two from around a doorframe. Staring them down, she quickly sent them running with giggling and shouts.
"Tell me…" Reaching across the table, the barbarian grabbed Raven's hand and squeezed it tight. "And don't lie."
More than a bit surprised by the sudden change in her behavior, Raven's expression contorted further with confusion.
"About what?"
