For the Christmas ask game:
4, 9 (Rowena, Bréda, Waerblith)
10 (Mjuka)
Thank you for playing!
Thanks for asking! I will pick Waerblith for the first one because Rowena and Bréda have already had some asks. (And she's currently kinda my fave, check out the recent Théodred story where she stars!)
So, does Waerblith write letters for Christmas? Well, no... She doesn't know how to read and write, a very unnecessary skill to have, and one she has not needed in all her years. Why write, when you have such an excellent memory as yours, and in any case all of your children and grandchildren live a mere stroll away? No need for letters, you'll ruin your eyes! Instead, she will bake some of her famous apple cake (recipe here!) and come knock at your door to gift it, ask for news, and offer plenty of advice. Hopefully you weren't too busy that day, because she has lots of excellent opinions to offer, informed by her many years of experience and wisdom, and you wouldn't want to miss any of that, would you?
And what are Mjuka's favourite and least favourite parts of the holiday season? She loves that the children get a lot of free time (no lessons for them at this time, everyone is too busy preparing the festivities!) and will come brush her and take her on some winter adventures. Also, there will be plenty of kitchen scraps that they are happy to feed her as a treat after she takes them to the buggy hill. Especially a whole bucket of apple cores from Waerblith's cake preparation! On the other hand, she doesn't really like the cold, although she grows a thick coat, and there isn't much grass to munch on at this time of the year, only dry hay. Oh well, at least the days are starting to get longer again!
