Astrid looked at the hand confusedly, but then clasped it, rather than shaking it, thinking that was what Diana was going for.

"Astrid Hofferson, of Berk. I'm a Viking--a race of warrior everybody."

She'd never heard of Themyscira, but then the myths and legendary stories of of other places weren't the things they learned in such an isolated village like Berk, and they had plenty of myths of their own.

She paused.

"You only have women where you're from? Why? Were your men too weak to fight or something?"

She couldn't help but laugh slightly. After withdrawing her hand in greeting, she said coolly, "It is a pleasure, Viking Astrid. Themyscira is a race of women because we had been wronged by men more than a millennium before. But the history of my people is likely of little interest to you."

Diana stepped back, looking around at the scenery.

"This place is much more of interest to you. It seems to present no threat."

"For now."

She was a little more relaxed, though, and leaned on the handle of her axe.

"So, what's going on is so far, we don't know who took us, some guy told us a witch can send us home, and the villagers seem almost...used to this."

Or maybe they were just very nice. Either way, the whole thing was beyond weird.

"Is anyone organizing people together? We don't know what we might have to face on the way to this witch. Or dealing with the witch herself."
