Urd had been running errands -- specifically, buying more sake, which was surprisingly difficult to get in Paixao. She also carried a treat for her housemates: small cartons of various flavored ice cream. As she walked, she smiled slightly and held up the bag to eye level. Usually, doing something so considerate wasn't like her, she had to admit to herself. Living with so many kind people must have been rubbing off on her.

She was so focused on her own thoughts and the bag in front of her face that she didn't even realize she was on a collision course with a new arrival until it was too late.
