Ash sat at her desk with a notebook and pen in front of her. Making notes of the finfolk stories to question Trollex about. There was so much information she was sure if she didn't take notes, she'd forget to bring up something.Honestly, she was still caught up in the fact the women were called finwives instead of finwomen. She tapped the pen against her notebook, and she thought more about everything she came across. She struggled with the supposed appearance of finmen, some pages mentioned the men having hollowed faces and not that attractive though they seemed to be like a human from the waist up, however, some art she found showed the finfolk with fish heads that looked really creepy with sharp teeth, huge yellow eyes, and it had limbs shaped like a human though webbed and covered in scale.
She searched more and struggled to come up that much more. She even contacted her one friend that lives in Scotland, according to her she's never heard of finfolk, so were finfolk just not a common legend, or had her friend somehow missed a huge part of her country's history regarding legends? Obviously, the legend wasn't on the same level as the Loch Ness Monster though.
Her friend didn't find it as funny as Ash had when she questioned if she'd heard of the Loch Ness Monster since she hadn't heard of finfolk. She was hoping her friend could at least clear up what the Scottish thought finfolk looked like.
"Ash? It's time for lunch." Dan knocked on his daughter's door. "Come on."
She sighed and closed the notebook.
Ash sat across from her grandmother, the stories of finfolk playing through her mind. She wanted to ask the woman in front of her about it. No, she needed to keep her mouth shut. She would be speaking to Trollex about it in a few hours.
Her grandmother spoke about some tv show she had recently started watching and how she couldn't believe how vulgar some of the stuff she's seen on it has been.
"If it's that bad mom, why do you continue watching it?"
The older lady bristled, and Ash tightened the grip her on her fork to keep herself from slapping her forehead.
The rest of lunch was awkwardly tense, Jo huffed about the younger generations every few minutes while Dan scoffed at every jab towards him. It was ridiculous how immature they were acting all over a comment about a tv show. Ash quickly ate the last of her food and stood to place the dish in the sink.
"I'm going for a walk."
"Do you have the chain I gave you?"
"Yes, grandma."
She stepped into her bedroom to get the notebook she'd been writing notes in and headed out the door.
It was still early, Trollex wouldn't be at the cave for a few more hours.
Maybe I should walk around town? She thought. It wasn't a tourist town so there were no shops to buy tacky souvenir in. Still, she was curious if there were any interesting shops though. I might be able to find a gift for Trollex.
She grinned at the thought.
Walking through the small town, she did eventually come across a tiny shop that you would easily miss if you weren't paying much attention. It was dark compared to the large brightly lit shops around it and it didn't exactly look welcoming, still Ash couldn't help but be curious about the shop.
As she entered the shop her eyes widened. There were a lot of odd things around. Are those lizards? Ash thought to herself as she looked closer at some dried lizards in bags.
