Ever since her father was in the sick wing, Astridr had been coming everyday. Not only that but she was at her home all alone with no one to talk to. No one came over to see if she was alright and to offer her to stay at their home, just for awhile that is. But  now things weren't good. She was even more tired than usual now. Just this past night, her father Naemr had just ended his life. The illness got to him and he didn't make it through the nice. The dwarrowdam was devasted. Astridr was still young, only 82 anyway. It was still too young to really live on her own just yet. She wasn't ready for this. Ready for a life without being with anyone. She was all alone. 

She left the sick wing in the morning and walked slow. Astridr was exhausted and hungry. She hadn't been eating well for the past week or so since her father went into the sick wing when his illness decided to get worse. The healer did what he could but it wasn't enough to save Naemr. Astridr had little money on her as she walked slowly toward the market to get a small bite to eat. She rubbed her eyes ready to fall asleep at any given moment. 

"Maybe If I just rest up for a little bit....No, I have to get a bite to eat and I need to do my training" Astridr said to herself but soon enough stopped at a bench and sat down. She held back a yawn but one came anyway. Astridr was trying to stay awake but was having trouble to. Soon enough, the young dwarrowdam felt her eyes get heavy as she somehow fell asleep on the bench. Dwarves walked by and didn't seem to notice the sleeping dwarrowdam on the bench who looked as if she wouldn't wake up for awhile. Plus she had a small fever but that was from not eating as much as she should for the past week. 

(I hope this is alright. This just came into my head at the moment and thought I would try it out and see how it goes)
