[X] Nokai is long gone, but you saw that she went for a very small dwelling that lies along the path to the courtyard. Speaking with a Waste Barbarian is nerve wracking to say the least, but she wasn't unfriendly. And if you manage to live with her, there will be dogs!
Muscular 'barbarian' girl and twinky 'civilised' boy who is intimidated by her is good civ.
EDIT: She'll protect us and provide us with d o g s and we'll provide her with shiny things!
