comfortable as a girl among so many men.
sighs. He's on the look for her again, calling her name out every so often.
waves at him like it would make him see her. "Up here, Tanni." It's not like she ran off again.
blinks and looks up, smiling. "There ye are." Walks to the bottom of the tree. "What're ye doin' up there?"
doesn't seem to look like she'll come down. "Observing." She couldn't really tell him her second reason.
hums and looks around before taking his fur cloak off and starts climbing the tree.
stares a bit at him as he climbs up. She doesn't mind though.
use to climbing trees. He quickly gets to one branch below her and rests his arms over it, smiling up at her. "Hej."
looks around. "Nice view up here..."
nods. "It makes it easier to see everything around this area."
nods. "Ja, it does..." Looks at her. "Ye're awfully high up though."
looks out. "So?" She rather likes being high up.
shrugs. "Ye gotta be careful getting down."
already had her hair up to be careful not to get it caught on anthing. "I will be."
nods. "I'll help ye if ye want, since I'm here now."
stares at him. "Help with what?"
blushes in anger. "I don't need help getting down!"
laughs a bit. "Okay okay, but if ye need help... I'll be here~"
barely mumbles a thanks that ends in that she still won't need help.
hums a bit and looks at the landscape again. "Ye can see so much... This is kinda cool."
just nods now looking up more. She wants to get higher up on the tree, but the other branches don't look as strong.
would catch her if she fell.
probably knows that but still doesn't want to try. She doesn't want to fall.
almost wants to try himself...
stares at him. "Wha-? Don't go up so high!"
smirks. "Why not~? The views even better up here!" Stays close to the middle of the tree.
worries a bit. "But you could hurt yourself, idiot!"
rolls his eyes. "Like I haven't done *that* before."
still going to worry as she watches.
gets a few branches higher and sits.
glad that he stopped climbing.
swings and hangs upside down, smiling at her.
handles her worry with what looks to be anger. "Stop that!"
laughs a bit. "Why~? It's fun!"
frowns at him. "You could fall if you are like that!"
shrugs. "I'd catch myself before I fell too far..."
pouts. "Fine." She is just going to climb down then.
starts getting light headed. "It's cool lookin' at things upside down..."
reaches the bottom not caring about what he said. She'll still hang around the tree in worry.
pouts. "Ye should have tried this... It's fun~"
kick a bit at the dirt. "Ei." She has been upside down multiple times. She's curious not danger-loving.
pouts. He starts climbing down, being careful.
doesn't watch. She is in a mood now and won't be out of it anytime soon.
slips a bit but catches himself. He curses slightly as he hurt his hand before jumping down the rest of the way.
hears him jump down and a bit of the cursing. She is trying not to care though.
holds his hand a bit. "So, what're ye gonna do next~?"
looks at his hand a bit before shrugging. "I'm not sure."
hums. "Wanna go hunting with me?"
somewhat doesn't want to but nods anyways. She wants to make sure his hand is okay even if she doesn't state it openly.
smiles and starts walking, still rubbing his hand.
follows keeping herself just in range to look at his hand for any other signs of problems.
hums more and lets go, walking normally. He picked up his cloak, as well as a few other things like his bow and arrows.
starts to readjust her hair. Having it all up was annoying, at least when she wasn't in a good mood.
pets her a bit, knowing she's upset.
looks at towards him instead of his hand feeling like to snap at him for even touching her but doesn't. She looks a bit ahead instead_
trying to think of things that would make her feel better, which was rather hard.
hums. "Do ye wanna try hunting?"
shakes her head. She had hunted before, but she hadn't felt up to anything that had to do with killing in awhile.
nods. "Ye sure? Ye can practice with the bow."
nods. She was only doing this to make sure the other was okay anyways.
sighs and nods. "Alright. I'll try and be quick then."
just nods again. She finally puts her hair in a low ponytail.
smiles a bit. "Yer hair looks good like that."
blushes while muttering a thanks.
suddenly stops and puts a hand in front of the other to stop her as well.
a bit shocked but remains quiet as she gives him a questioning look.
crouches down and crawls into some bushes near them, smiling when he sees a deer at a small, unfrozen pond.
watches him from behind while being quiet. She didn't actually want to see the deer being killed at all.
slowly gets his bow and arrows out. He bites his tongue a bit in concentration and aims.
turns her head a bit away when she sees him aim.
lets go, and amiles more when he hits the deer, killing it instantly. "Perfect~"
would be glad to hear it was a quick death if only a little bit. She doesn't turn around though.
hums as he gets up, rubbing his hand a bit. "Not movin'. Means I got it just right..."
looks sideways a bit just barely seeing him rub his hand. She frowns a bit more at seeing that.
walks through the bushes and pulls the arrow out of the deer, putting it back with the rest. He picked it up and slung it over his shoulder.
waits for him to come back as she turns back to where camp is.
smiles down at her. "This'll be great for us. And some of the men."
just nods in agreement. Food was always good.
hums as they walk back towards the camp.
just looks towards the side glancing at him once and awhile. She wants to check his hand soon... not that she cares.
gets back to camp and hands the deer off to some of his men before walking to his tent... He kind of needed to treat his hand.
follows him into the tent glad the deer was gone. She didn't like looking at it.
use to it, it's how they live. He grabs a small container and opens it, hissing quietly.
knows how it's the way they live; she just hasn't gotten over a few things yet. She hears the hissing and stares at him. "What did you do?"_
'To yourself' was implied.
sighs. "Nothin'." Looks for anything to help his swollen wrist.
frowns. "It doesn't look like nothing."
shrugs a bit. "I just might have sprained my wrist... Nothing big."
doesn't care if it's big or not as she finds the few things that will help before she gives them to Denmark. It's not like she hasn't seen_
smiles a bit and looks at her. "Tak." Looks at his wrist. "Ye wanna bandage me up?"
nods. She holds out her hand. “Wrist.”
smiles more and carefully puts his wrist in her hand, trying to keep from flinching.
tries to be careful not wanting to hurt him any. She grabs the fabric she got and starts to wrap it around his wrist being careful not to_
hurt him anymore than she had to.
holds in any signs of pain and watched her work, staying still for her.
finishes bandaging and looks to make sure she didn't do anything wrong. Even after checking, she just holds his arm still and looks at it_
as if she could stare the pain away.
smiles at her. "Tak, Estonia..." Pats her head with his other hand.
nods in response as she still stares at the bandaged area. She mumbles about idiots, trees, and not being careful.
chuckles a bit and crouches down to be eye level with her. "And tak for worrying."
frowns before looking away. She did not him to know that. "I didn't worry."
smirks and nods. "Sure." Gets back up and moves his wrist a bit.
pouts. "I didn't." She doesn't prove that point as she glances at his wrist.
pats her head again. "It's fine if ye do."
"I didn't!" She pauses looking away before mumbling a 'so much.' She's at least trying to be honest?
smiles and looks down at her. "Don't be ashamed."
tries to pout even more. "I'm not." She clearly is though.
sighs a bit. "If ye didn't look out for me, who would?"
stares at him before looking down. "Someone."
shrugs. "Ja, but that's only because I'm the chief. No one would pay that close attention to me, I bet they'd not even recognize
shakes her head in a 'no'. "Someone would notice."
laughs a bit. "Nej. All my men think about is food, raids, and stuff. They're not ones to know about injuries like this."
shakes her head again. "It happens. They should know."
shrugs. "Either way, ye helped me." Pats her head some more. "So tak."
just nods. "Olete teretulnud," she says quietly.
smiles. "Are ye hungry? The men will probably be done cooking the deer soon."
lifts her onto the bed, not caring about his wrist. "Then wait here, I'll be right back~" Leaves the tent.
surprised enough to not notice that he shouldn't do that at all. She mumbles "idiot" after he leaves before almost smiling. She sings while_
waiting as she always found it to be the best way to wait when she doesn't have anything else to do.
returns with a rather large chunk of meat and smiles at her. "Ye have a good voice."
blushes a bit. "Ei, I-i... need to improve." Not that she was proud of her voice already. She just wasn't going to admit it.
smiles more and hands her some meat. "Even if ye do, it's better than any of my men."
takes it while blushing more. "Thanks." She takes a bit of meat.
nibbles on his own piece, humming at how good it was.
takes small bites as she enjoys the food and the bit of silence.
really hungry, other wise he'd be talking.
glad for that then. He talks to much anyways.
doesn't talk too much! He talks at a reasonably amount.
would disagree. Though it''s not like she doesn't mind it sometimes.
doesn't think that's a bad thing... It's just not good sometimes.
Søren
wonders 13 years ago
how it can't be good sometimes?
it isn't when she is trying to concentrate and when she wants things to be quiet and when things should be quiet and... she tries to_
Søren
thinks 13 years ago
that talking is always good.
it isn't when it isn't needed.
Søren
thinks 13 years ago
it's always needed.
that there are times and places for talking and that sometimes actions are much better anyways.
isn't that good with his actions at times...
believes he should get better at them then. Actions can always say what someone may not want to say.
everything he wants to say.
just likes to share his knowledge~
just isn't going to try to disagree.
Søren
thinks 13 years ago
that's good, because he's very knowledgeable.
doesn't feel like disagreeing. She could if she wanted to though.
would just argue against her.
arguing would just be sort of pointless right now.
glad that he agrees. Also, she seems to have finished eating.
still nibbling away at his, but has started watching her again.
doesn't notice she's being watched. Her eyes are more focused at the ground with the occasional glance at his hand. She does worry.
finishes eating and sucks on his fingers. He doesn't think she should worry...
worries anyways not that she'll admit it.
can tell from the look in her eyes that she does. He hides his wrist a bit in his cloak so she couldn't see it.
frowns a bit and stares back at the ground.
hums. "Are ye really that worried?"
blushes. "I'm not worried."
smiles a bit. "Oh really? Is that why ye're blushin'?"
blushes even more. "I'm not blushing, and I'm not worried."
chuckles a bit. "Sure sure." Pulled his wrist out a bit, rolling it around.
pouts. "I'm not..." She looks at his wrist again.
hums and gets up. "So ye wouldn't care if I went to climb another tree?"
looks at him. "Ei! No climbing! I don't want yo u to get hurt again!" IF she wasn't already blushing, she would be again after saying that._
She looks away embarrassed.
looks back to her, smiling more. He walked over and crouched in front of her. "So, ye really do care, eh?"
nods knowing that it would be hard to deny that. "I don't want you to get hurt," she repeats.
smiles and pets her hair a bit. "I try not to..."
looks down. "But it still happens, and I don't like it."
shrugs. "Everyone gets hurt, some more than others... It's something that can't be helped."
nods. "I know, but... I still don't like it. I don't like to see people get hurt specially when it can be avoided. I just don't like it."_
She rubs her eye. She doesn't want to cry, but she is a bit frustrated with everything.
frowns a little and sits beside her, then hugs her close. "Aww... don't worry. Everything will be okay."
tries rubbing at her face more but notices that it doesn't help much. "Will." Not that everything was pretty much okay now, but she's too_
much internally conflicted to notice.
rubs her back a little, trying to confront her.
leans against him. It calms her some but not enough to keep her from crying more.
frowns. "Don't cry... There's no need to..."
frowns even if he can't see it. "Frustrated." She believes that it explains everything even without any other context.
pulls her into his lap. "Why are ye frustrated?"
leans against him a bit more in response. "Everything."
frowns and continues to rub her back gently. "Anything I can help with...?"
sighs a bit. If it were fixable, then it would be fixed already. "Ei."
nods. "Just stay." She was grateful to not be alone at least.
nods and keeps rubbing her back. "Sure, I can do that..."
moves a bit to get closer to him. "Good."
lets her get as close as she needed. He hummed quietly to her, hoping it'd help her.
listens to the humming finding it relaxing. She did love music.
continued to hum and swayed slightly.
closes her eyes as her tears died. She thinks it maybe a nice place to just rest for a little.
let her... He closed his eyes as well and kept comforting her.
then take the chance to sleep this way. It was warm and comfortable.
wouldn't mind her sleeping... Though he'd have to eventually put her down on the bed.
just force him to stay longer than by grabbing fist fulls of his clothing. As long as she's semi-conscious then she wouldn't be letting go_
anytime soon. She's rather clingy when she wants to be especially if she doesn't want to feel alone.
sighs and lies down into the bed with her. If she wouldn't let go, then he'd not leave... But he figured this was better than sitting up.
would be glad to get her way if she was awake enough to realize it. Though, she does feel calmer than before.
pulls up the fur blankets around them and continues to rub her back slowly. He'd stay as long as he had to.
