[event 2] was out following Denmark. Ever since he hurt his hand the other day, she was worried.
Søren
was
a little busy checking out new camp areas for the tribe, and didn't notice her following him.
Evelin
likes
that he doesn't notice. She rather him not know she did this even if she did every other week or so. She's careful not to make much noise.
hums and sees a small cliff, and thinks it might be nice at the top. He looks around and sees no easy way of walking up, so he rubbed his
hands before starting to climb.
Evelin
is
a bit worried when he does that, but she really doesn't want to reveal that she was following him. She'll just hope he makes it up safely.
Søren
has
some difficulty due to his hand, hissing at times from hurting it more. He was okay until he got to the top, were he was having
problems pulling himself up.
watches in worry. Yelling at him won't been good. What if she made him slip? That wouldn't be good. She'll just yell at him when he gets up.
bites his lip and pulls himself up finally, yelping a bit from his hand.
can hear him and frowns. "Idiot! You shouldn't do that with a hurt hand!" Anyone on the ground probably thought a bush just yelled at them.
blinks and turns to look down, smirking a bit. "It's not that hurt, Evelin~" He knew it was her, she was the only one who'd follow him.
would think that there was probably someone who would, but she really didn't know. She looks around, slowly trying to come out from her_
hiding spot. Her hair was in braids like she always did when she was trying to hid. It got tangled in branches less that way. "Then what_
Evelin
was
that noise you made?"
hums. "It was my victory noise~?"
frowns at him. "A yelp is a victory noise now?"
nods. "Mhmm."
crosses her arms. "I don't believe you."
rolls his eyes. "Then don't~" Gets up and dusts the snow off himself.
frowns at him more. Mostly since showing worry was good in her eyes.
looks around. "Ye should come up here..."
looks up. "Why?
"
hums. "It might be our new camp."
blinks for a moment. "Up there?"
nods. "Ja, it goes a bit downhill where the tents can go... But being up here gives us a great advantage over attacks."
Evelin
thinks
that is reasonable. She was curious how things looked from there too. Maybe there was a nicer way then climbing up.
doesn't think so, it was a pretty steep cliff. "Want me to help ye up?"
looks for another moment somewhat wanting to get up by herself. "Jah." She really didn't want to fall or anything.
hums and undoes a long rope from his waist. He wraps one end around his waist and throws the rest down. It didn't make it all of the way,
but it was better than nothing.
would think so as well. She starts climbing up trying to get up to where the end of the rope is before grabbing at it with one hand.
smiles. "Good. Hold on tight." Slowly starts to pull her up, being careful as to not let her hurt herself.
holds on as tight as she could with both hands while her feet step onto rocks.
smiles as he pulls her all the way up. "There we go~"
barely mumbles a thanks as she gets up. She looks around somewhat getting distracted by what she could see.
looks out over the cliff again. "What do ye think? Perfect view to see any enemies." Turns back to look at the land
behind him. "And this, perfect cover for our presence..."
just nods as he talks. She's become interested at looking down at the ground below and looking out at the distance.
smiles at her. "Just be careful. I don't want ye to fall."
nods again. She's trying to stay a safe distance away, but it was harder to see straight down that way.
would catch her before she fell anyways.
turns around now intent to look everywhere she could. She starts walking forward seeing what she could find.
smiles and walks behind her. "So? What do ye think? Good for the tribe?"
nods while not exactly paying attention to him. The rock she sees a bit away looks cool though.
chuckles a bit at her curiosity. He'll just follow her and look around some more. He really liked this place.
Evelin
likes
this place as well. She comes upon the rock and feels how smooth it is before becoming interested in a small bush.
laughs a little at her and ruffles her hair a bit. "Ye certainly are a curious one."
smiles a bit. "Everything is just so interesting." She starts looking at the bare branches of the bush.
follows closely behind her. "It is, when ye're young..."
shakes her hand in a no. "Nope. When I grow up I'll still be amazed. Things keep changing that I'll always have something new to find."
smirks a bit. "I guess. The world keeps on changin'..."
nods. "It does, and while it does I'll figure it out even if it takes forever."
chuckles. "Well, it's not like we die easily. I'm sure ye'll have time..."
nods again a bit slower. "I guess I'm thankful for that if I have that time."
hums. "Ye'll have all the time ye want.."
just smiles a bit. She isn't going to think about that right now.
walks around some more, checking out the area. He had to make sure it was safe for his people.
follows him around this time while getting distracted at times by things she sees. She spots a pretty little rock and picks it up to look at
it better.
keeps glancing back at her every so often, just to make sure she was okay. He smirked a bit at how cute she looked when she checked
things out.
couldn't help but look at things closer. Sometime she could swear things were smeared together... though it only happened every once and_
awhile. She places the rock in a small bag tied around her waist that made a soft clack when it hit something inside.
raises his brow, curious. "What else ye got there?"
pauses for a moment before realizing what he is talking about. "S-stuff..." She didn't want to say what is in there.
hums and walks over to her. "Stuff like what~?"
"Special stuff." And no, he can't look.
crouches in front of her. "Liiikkkkeeee~?" He was curious.
doesn't want to tell him though. "Special things."
really wants to know.
Evelin
is
stubborn and won't even let him try to touch her bag. It had things in there that she had for decades.
frowns a bit. "Ye really won't show me...?"
shakes her head in a no. "I don't even show Aura." And that was saying something.
sighs a bit. "Alright..." He gets up and starts walking again. But he'll forever be curious now.
doesn't care if he's curious. It was her stuff... and everything in it was special to her... and some of it was things she would be_
embarrassed to show to Denmark.
still really, really wants to know.
probably would show him something if he kept bothering her about it, but he wasn't at the moment. He got to see her put in the rock at least
?
Søren
wants
to see more! He's a very curious person... And likes to know everything, especially if it's a secret.
Evelin
is
very curious as well, but she didn't want to get in on secrets that someone else didn't want to tell.
Søren
likes
to know secrets because it makes him feel special...
Evelin
thinks
he's special enough without knowing any secrets... not that she would say that.
still thinks they're relationship is close enough for him to know what she had... It's not like he's one to go breaking secrets.
doesn't share the things she has in her bag with Aura. Why would he think that she would share it with him if she couldn't with her best_
friend? ... Even if he didn't break secrets.
Søren
thinks
that just because he's not her best friend doesn't mean he can't know... He's trying to protect her, and takes good care of her.
can't really argue with that. However, it was still hard for her to trust people even if they took care of her.
Søren
thinks
she can trust him. There's no one he would tell... This could be their secret together.
still is a bit skeptical.
doesn't think she should be... He'll always let her sleep with him when it's cold if she shows him.
Evelin
thinks
about that for a second... Fine, she'll show him.
instantly stops walking and sits in front of her.
sits down as well as she hesitantly takes a few things out of her bag. A long thin piece of fabric, a small knife that was covered, a coin_
that looked worn down, and two rocks one of which was the one she picked up earlier. It was a random assortment, and she still left one_
thing in her bag.
smiles a bit. "Those are neat..."
nods a bit. She guessed as long as she didn't have to explain what they were it was okay... sort of.
Søren
wants
to know more about them.
Evelin
wonders
which one he would like to hear first... even if she didn't want to explain any of it much.
carefully picks up the knife.
stares at it a bit afraid it might break or something. "It was a gift that I got before everything happened." Everything meant the early
1200s.
nods a little, carefully putting it back down. "What about the coin?"
pauses a bit before quietly speaking. "Stole it."
raises his brow. "From who?"
"Does it matter?"
nods.
shrugs a bit. "I got it while I was pirating. I don't remember from who." He should have guess that. It was the reason she was controlled
.
nods a little. "Interesting..." Picks up the new rock. "And this?"
blushes a bit at that one. "Aura." Though, that might not explain anything about it.
nods. "So it means a lot to ye?"
nods back. "S-she's important." Not to mention when the rock was found. It was all-around important.
nods, putting the rock down. "It's nice." He was even more curious about it's story now.
probably has a bit of a story for every item, but she doesn't want to say. "I know." She takes the rock in her hands hiding it under_
her fingers. She really missed her friend.
hums and points to the thin bit of fabric. "And that?"
looks at it. "A piece for the first clothes I was given." It looked that way too. She figured it would be gone too in a few years.
smirks a bit. "That's kinda cute."
blushes even more. "It is not. I just kept it."
smiles a bit, then notices that the bag wasn't fully emptied.
tries to not notice that she hadn't taken everything out of the bag.
goes to grab the bag, curious.
makes a small noise. "Ei!" She didn't want him to find the cross in the pocket. It was embarrassing enough to even have it on her even if_
it was special in some ways.
pouts a bit. "I'm curiouuussss~"
tries to protect the pocket. "Ei! It's too important!" She hoped it would make him stop trying.
pouts more. "But I want to know..."
looks down a bit. She did say she would show him, and it did mean everything. "Fine..."
smiles softly at her. "Tak..."
, face still red, pulls out the last thing in her bag holding it as to hide it as she takes his hand and places the cross on it. She doesn't
look at him as she brings back her hand. It represented everything she was forced into, but also the symbol of the cause of everything she
had at the moment.
hums a little as he turned it over carefully, making sure to be gentle. "Why do ye have this...?"
still isn't looking at him. "Because."
holds it close, smiling faintly.
glances at him before she starts putting everything else away in her bag. She felt so embarrassed at the moment.
doesn't think she should be... He slowly held the cross back out towards her.
Evelin
will
be embarrassed about it. She takes the cross back and gently puts it back in.
pets her hair a little. "Tak, for showing me... It must have taken a lot."
just nods a bit.
smiles more at her. "We should start headin' back to camp..."
nods again trying to mutter a yes.
leans closer towards her. "Will ye be okay?"
nods a third time. "I-I'll be okay..." At least okay enough to get back to camp.
frowns a bit. "Are ye sure...?"
takes a breath trying to calm herself. "Jah, I am."
frowns more and gets up, helping her. "We'll get back quickly.."
frowns back at him as she gets up. "I know." She pauses a bit. "Don't need to worry about me... right now."
sighs and starts walking back, holding her hand with his good one. "I always worry about ye..."
follows along side him. "Then don't worry about me so much."
rolls his eyes. "That's like telling me not to keep my guard up."
sighs some at that.
hums quietly as he gets back to the cliff, getting the rope out again. "I'll lower ye down, okay?
nods again. "Okay."
ties the rope around her waist this time. "Alright, start climbin' down." Grips the rope tightly.
wasn't expecting that, but it did make some sense. She found it a bit harder to go down but managed finding the ledges to use
just wanted her to be safe..
knows that by now. She can't get any farther than the rope will allow though. She tries to make the next step down but cannot.
frowns a bit, taking the rope off his own waist and gets on his stomach, lowering as much as he could. "Can ye jump down from there
without getting hurt...?"
looks down a figures the ground is only a few feet away. "Yeah, it's not that far of a jump."
nods and hesitates before letting go of the rope, keeping his eyes glued on her.
jumps down for the most part landing rather balance... until she tries to walk back a bit and trips on air. Well at least that didn't hurt_
much. She gets back up brushing of anything that may be on her. "Your turn," she says looking up at him.
smiles a bit, glad she was more or less safe. He drops the rope down and swings off the ledge, making his way down.
takes off the rope on her waist before looking to make sure he got down safely.
got down safely enough. A few twists of the wrist but nothing that'd kill him.
Evelin
is
glad for that and gives him the ropes back.
thanks her and puts it around his waist before taking her hand again and continued towards the camp.
nods. She follows along side once again and takes her free hand to overlap the hand on her other hand. She felt like being a little clingy.
doesn't mind. He was still really happy about knowing what she kept dear to her.
would probably deny that... even if she already basically admitted they were special. She is still wondering if it was good to let him see_
them. She didn't like anyone seeing them.
Søren
is
really happy that she trusted him enough to show him... He wouldn't tell a soul. This was just between them.
probably is at least glad that he wouldn't tell anyone... She just didn't like anyone knowing about them... or that she still kept them.
Søren
thinks
it's kinda cute.
doesn't think it's cute. She just kept the things.
Søren
thinks
it shows that they have much importance to her though, and thinks it's good to have things like that.
Evelin
wonders
if he has anything like that.
Søren
has
a few things...
Evelin
wonders
what they are.
's most prized thing is hidden away. The others are more obvious, like his axe.
would figure that his axe would be one of them... She's probably wonders what is most prized thing is, but she doesn't want to pester him.
would feel to vulnerable to show her anyways.
Evelin
will
just let that curiosity sit with all the other ones she had then and enjoy just walking with him. Not that she would admit that she enjoyed
walking with him.
wouldn't expect her to admit that. He swung their hands a little, just to pass the time as they walked.
probably doesn't admit so much it comes to no surprise to anyone anyways.
gets back to the camp and looks down at her. "Hungry?"
nods. "Yeah."
"Wanna come with me to get food from the men or do ye wanna chill in the tent?"
Evelin
thinks
a bit. "I'll go with you." She doesn't exactly like being alone in the camp.
nods and keeps holding her hand as they wander through different tents, weapons, treasure and men. He eventually got to the
food and grabbed some for himself.
felt rather uncomfortable and stays pretty close to Denmark. When they got to the food, she grabbed a bit of food as well. She wants to go
back to their tent.
figured she would, so he got a bit more for later and started back, making sure she'd be safe as they walked.
Evelin
is
being rather safe. She's watching where she is going, making sure she doesn't hit stuff and the like.
gets to the tent and lets her go in first before following closely behind. He sat down on the floor near his bed, nibbling on some meat.
sits a few feet away from him. Feeling comfortable again, she takes a bite of food.
smiles a bit as he watched her, still nibbling on his own food. "Ye like it?"
nods a bit. "It's good."
smiles more. "I'll tell my men they did a good job again then..."
hums and nods in response. At least he could tell them; she would probably stutter if she tried.
knew she wasn't comfortable around the men, which is why he kept a close eye on her and made sure she always bunked in the same tent.
probably would thank him for that.
doesn't need or want to be thanked... He just wanted to make sure he was doing the right thing.
Evelin
thinks
that it would be more protectiveness than doing the right thing.
Søren
has
been known to be protective... He's just glad she's around.
Evelin
is
glad he's here too.
Søren
likes
having her around, it help kept him reasonable and not constantly searching for fights. Her safety came first.
tries being safe... but she does like being watch over... for the most part.
tries to keep a safe eye on her when possible...
probably would think that's hard since she gets so easy distracted by things. She'd probably be somewhere new everyday if she didn't have_
reasons to stay around.
which is why he follows her when he can. And it's another reason why he looks for new camps... To give her a new environment to roam around.
probably like that. She really can't stay in one place at all... unless she's too comfortable or curious to stay.
which is why he wouldn't move until she was satisfied with the current area.
would figure that he does nice things for her that he doesn't have to do.
just wants her to be happy with him...
Evelin
is
happy with him. Why would he think otherwise?
just does. He likes it when people close to him are happy, but feels bad when they're upset...
Evelin
will
try to make a point of trying to be happy then. She doesn't want for him to feel bad.
Søren
will
be happy as long as she is... But only if she's truly happy. No faking.
can't fake happiness. She's either really bad at it or she lets her other emotions get to her first.
just wants them to be happy together in the end...
doesn't think he'll have to worry about that. She knows they'll be happy in the end.
Søren
thinks
so too, and is glad about that...
believes that even if things go wrong if they both think that it will happen no matter what.
hums as he finishes his meat, then licks his fingers. "Mmm..."
finished a bit before him and is just sitting comfortable by now.
sucks on a finger. "Ye full?"
nods. Her stomach still was in little knots from before even if she was comfortable now. They always made her less hungry.
nods and opens his arms a bit. "Come 'ere."
blinks at him for a moment before getting up and walking over.
pulls her into his lap happily.
smiles as she got herself comfortable on his lap. She liked being held.
wraps his arms around her, but keeps his hurt wrist a bit away and sways a bit. "Ye have a good day?"
nods. "Jah." Other than being embarrassed it was a pretty good day.
rests his head on her shoulder. "Good..."
smiles a bit more. "And what about you? Did you have a good day?"
smiles and nods. "Mhmm~ Got a new camp location, and it's perfect... and I got a full stomach~"
Evelin
is
happy to hear that. "That's good."
hums a bit and kisses her cheek.
blushes. "W-what was that for?" Not that she wasn't okay with it.
smirks and shurgs. "For ye bein' cute."
blushes more. Her hands move up to hold the arms around her.
smiles, liking that. "Yer hands are warm..."
just nods in response.
continues to sway happily.
gets herself to calm her blushing and just focuses on the motion. It somewhat reminded her of long grass on a windy day.
humed quietly. "I'm so glad ye're here.."
almost smiles at that. "I'm glad... that you are here as well."
hugs her a bit tighter.
really doesn't mind that. Being hugged was always nice.
Søren
is
thankful for her being here... he liked having someone to care for.
Evelin
is
really just glad to be here. Denmark was just so nice to her.
liked being nice to her... She was the only one he was really nice to.
would probably wonder why he was only nice to her.
figures it's because she's little, and a female... He liked protecting little nations.
doesn't find that surprising at all.
closes his eyes as he rests his head on her shoulder again.
leans her head slightly against his.
smiles. "Ye gettin' tired?"
nods slightly. "A bit."
hums. "Ye wanna sleep with me again~?"
nods again. "That would be nice..."
smiles and gets up, holding her close. He hugs her before laying her down on the bed and pulls the covers up on her.
smiles back and adjust herself to be comfortable on the bed. "You too..."
smiles and nods. "Ja, ja..." Takes off a layer of furs and climbs in next to her, cuddling into the blanket.
clings to him almost as soon as she can. She liked the warmth.
chuckles quietly and puts his arms around her, pulling her close.
pays no mind to his laugh. She's rather content this way.
closes his eyes and nuzzles a little against the pillow. "Godnat...Evelin..."
smiles some. "Head ööd, Søren." She closes her eyes as well.
falls asleep quickly after.
