sighed, everything seemed to be pissing her off today.
hummed loudly as he walked by her, idly looking for Loki.
groaned to herself. "Could y' stop that?" She said sharply.
blinks and looks to her. "Why?"
"'S annoyin." She snapped again, she was just unhappy today.
pouts. "But ye normally like iiiitttt..."
looks at him. "Well I find it 'nnoyin t'day." She rolled her eyes, clearly unhappy.
pouted more. "But it's fuuuuun." He didn't know why she was so annoyed.
"Jus. Stop." She didn't want to hear it, happy things made her angry. She shook her head, standing abruptly, heading toward her room.
blinks as he followed her. "What's wrong?
"Nothin. Leave me 'lone." she didn't want to be followed.
kept following her, eventually wrapping his arms around her waist. "Maybe ye just need some snuggle time~"
made a sound, even this contact was bad right now. "Nej." She pulled his arms off. "I jus' want t' go t' m' room 'nd go t' bed. That's all."
frowns. "But..." He pouted some more, normally not use to her refusing the affection.
normally loved his affection and attention. But she didn't want it right now. "Jus' let me go t' bed. Maybe 'll be fine then."
nodded a little and let her be. He headed to the kitchen, planning to make her happy by making some food
just went and crawled into bed in the clothes she was wearing. She just didn't care. She tried to sleep it off, her nap only lasted about an hour and it didn't really help. Now she was just tired.
quietly came into the room a bit after with some food for her, smiling. "Hej~"
groaned a little, rubbing her eyes, trying to wake herself up more. "Hej... What the hell?" She mumbled over her eyes, not really sure what he was doing.
smiled and held out a tray. "I made ye some danishes!"
blinked and stared at him. "... Why?" She had been an ass to him, and he was still being so nice?
smiles more. "'Cause I thought ye'd want somethin' sweet to help wake ye up.."
nodded a little. "Ah.." She was confused at this point. "Even after I kept snappin at y'?"
chuckles a bit and put them on the bedside table. "Well, bein' mad at ye won't make ye happy any quicker, and the best way to make someone happy is to be happy yerself, so..."
nodded a bit, but just groaned a little. "I don' know.. jus' everythin 's pissin me off t'day 'nd I don' want t' be happy it seems."
sat on the edge of the bed. "Well, is it 'cause ye've been inside a lot? Or work? Or anythin' even slightly annoyin' ye?"
shakes her head. "Nej, I jus' ... 'S stuff." She mumbled, trying to not get annoyed.
nods and kissed her forehead. "I'll let ye have some space, then."
nodded. "Tack. 'll.. jus' talk t' y' later." She wanted him to leave.
nods, stroking her hair a bit. "Text me if ye want anythin'..." He smiled before walking out, leaving the danishes there for her.
sighed and took a danish after he left, she munched it idly, wishing it was chocolate instead, but the thought was very nice and sweet.
had that planned for later~
didn't know that. She slipped her glasses on and took the plate of danishes back downstairs after she decided to stop moping. (HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU SPELL THAT? Is that right? Ugh idk.)
((Wow that's hilarious Sve calm yer tits jesus Odin christ))
Søren
was
humming away happily in the kitchen as he was stirring some chocolate that he had made.
(NEJ. At least you know what I mean though.)
thought something smelled wonderful. She made her way to the kitchen to set the plate down. ".. Hej..."
((Well I don't think she's usin' a mop to get down stairs in a bad mood so yeah))
turned to see her and smiled. "Hej. I wasn't expectin' ye."
(BT)
nodded, she rubbed the back of her neck. "Ja.. 'M tryin not t' be a bitch right now.." She said quietly. She was still particularly annoyed, but she didn't want to show it.
stroked her hair a moment before going back to stirring. "Well, ye can bitch at me. I'll just be makin' chocolate."
looked at him, and then the chocolate. "Why are y' makin chocolate?"
shrugs. "I thought it'd help yer mood improve. I'm makin' it sweet and rich."
flushed a bit, she couldn't believe that he was still being so nice, most people avoided angry women like the plauge. "Ah.. Tack..."
just smiled happily at her. "Do what ye want, I'll bring it to ye when it's done."
walked up to him, and hugged him. ".. Tack. 'M serious.. Tack." She felt so bad for this.
chuckles and leaned into her touch, putting a hand over hers. "For what? I just wanna make ye happy."
shrugged, she just frowned and held onto him. She didn't want to talk, she didn't want him to talk, she just wanted to stand here like this.
kept quiet, with his hand on hers still as he stirred the chocolate.
sighed quietly, nuzzling her face into his back. She hated feeling like this. She hated feeling like she wanted to punch someone.
thought if it helped she could punch him.
thought though that offer was tempting, she didn't want to hurt him.
Søren
thinks
she could go outside and swing her sword at some poor defenseless trees?
Astrid
was
thinking about that. She let him go, going to get an elastic to tie her hair in a pony tail and to get her sword.
let her slip away from him as he focused on solidifying the chocolate now.
went out to the back and started to beat up a tree cutting hunks out of it.
waited for the chocolates to cool, and spied on her occasionally from the kitchen.
Astrid
was
just hacking at the same tree. She had no clue the damage she was doing to the poor tree.
wasn't noticing that. He was just admiring her...
finally stopped after she had effectively tired herself out. She stuck the tip of her sword into the ground and leaning on it with a sigh.
walked out a bit later, looking her over some more as he licked his lips.
looked up at him. "Hm?" She noticed him liking his lips, she raised an eyebrow.
smirks. "It's just hot seein' ye move like that. I love gettin' reminders that ye're a strong Viking."
smiles a bit, nodding. she felt better right now because of frustration being taken out. "Ah.." She looked at the tree. "... Damn."
chuckles, walking around the tree a few times. "Well, we could use it for fire wood."
nodded to him. "Ja.. It'd be cruel t' leave it like this." She felt badly even though it's a tree.
chuckled and walked back. "Chop it down, then."
looked at her sword. "Get me an axe. I don' want t' dull this 'ny more then it 'lready is." She felt worse for her sword than the tree.
nods and went to get a regular axe. He doubted she'd be able to lift his still.
didn't think she could lift his and use it effectively. She didn't mind using a normal axe though.
came back a bit later and put it in her hands. "Enjoy~"
took the axe and began to hack the tree, soon causing it to fall onto the earth. ".. 'S this even legal?"
rolls his eyes. "Who cares." He took the end of it and started dragging it back home.
picked up her sword and started walking with him. That was a question she proably should have asked first.
doesn't think it mattered. They could always say they needed it for heating the house.
agreed, she just sighed, assuming no one would really care.
brought it to the side of the house and dropped it down, sighing. "Ye wanna chop it up now, or save it for later?"
looked at the tree. "Do we need 'ny fire wood right now?"
shrugs. "We can set it up beside the house with the rest."
nods to him. "'lright..." She thought for a moment. "... B'fore everythin melts we should have 'n old vikin meal.. 'round a fire."
raises his brow as he looks to her. "Ye think?" He didn't think it was a bad idea at all. "Only if we dress the part too."
smiled and nodded. "Maybe not the armour though. Jus' clothes would be nice." She frowned after. ".. I don' have 'ny 'f m' old clothes.." They were all like magically gone when the world glitched them together.
hums. "We could try and make ye some... we could use material from some that I don't wear anymore. Well, don't like I guess."
nodded to him. "Ja, I could probably modify y'ers." She was kind of excited about this.
Søren
was
too. "We can do that once we've got the wood chopped. Even if we just look at the clothes and decide what to do." He went to go get an axe himself to help her, though not his large one.
nodded to him. "Ja, that'd be nice." She began to chop the tree up while he was gone.
started on the other end, having fun with this.
had fun doing this. She cut off a few large pieces and then began to work on turning them into fire wood while he chopped the trunk smaller.
did much the same, glad to be bonding over something like this even if it was simple.
found this task relaxing and tiring, in a very good way. She did like doing actual physical labour.
loved that about her as well. He chopped until he was close to her, letting her have the last bit of the tree left.
chopped it, smiling a little bit at him. She breathed out quietly, humming after. "That was fun." She said, moving some of her hair.
nods as he put the axe in his belt and moved the wood closer to pile against the house. "Jaaaa."
moved the wood closer to the house sighing happily. This was very nice and made her feel better.
Søren
was
glad she was in a better mood~ He smiled and headed inside after. "Come on, let's go find ye clothes."
nodded to him. "Ah right." She smiled a little. "'nd after that chocolate."
chuckles and nods. "Ja, it's probably done coolin' now so it's all ready to go~" He headed up to the attic, dropping off the axe on the way.
put the axe with the other, and she put her sword in her room before following him up to the attic.
got a few boxes full of clothes and items from that time, smiling as he opened them. So many memories came back to him..
took one of the boxes kneeling in front of it, looking through. These looked a little odd for Søren's clothes.
Søren
was
too distracted with the box he was at currently, pulling out things he loved and ones he was planning to give her.
pulled out a long but slim shirt, she stared at it. It was covered in blood that looked like it ran down from the face of the wearer. She gasped a little and dropped the shirt, this was Berwald's.
blinks and looked over to her. "Somethin' wrong-" He noticed the shirt and stared at it, slightly shocked.
knew what that was, her clothes looked the same from then. "S-Søren..." She said quietly. "This 's Berwald's.. From b'fore he needed glasses.. Ja?"
nodded as he leaned over to pick it up, his fingers running over the blood stains.
shivered a little, remembering what happened to her. "A-ah.." She looked at the floor, coughing into her fist a little awkwardly.
went to the box it came from and pulled out a few more articles of clothing, ones that held importance to him of Berwald. "The rest ye can look through..."
watched him, she wondered what he had taken out. "Ah.. 'lright..." She looked at the box and started to look through quietly again.
had just taken a few articles from Berwald, and put them into another box. He didn't want to lose them...
would understand that. She found some blue fabric, she realized it was an old cape. ".. I had one like this." She smiled fondly.
looked over and smiled faintly. "That ye can have. Keep lookin', we can make ye a ton of stuff."
smiled still, nodding. "'lright." She folded it carefully and began to search once more. She found some other clothes she liked.
took out a few things he liked, mainly his classic tunic and cloak. He just needed pants and shoes now...
didn't have shoes... She would just go barefoot.
thought they could make some...
didn't matter to her. She would survive being barefoot.
could always let her borrow his shoes too if she wanted.
didn't think his shoes would fit her. Her feet were smaller than his.
guessed so... He'd wear them then. He missed them.
Astrid
was
completely fine with being barefoot. She just was more concerened with making her outfit.
would help her to make it awesome and durable to the weather. Even if it was warming up a bit.
didn't exactly need the help, but she would accept it, because she knew he wanted to help.
hums as he gathered his things in his arms. "Ready to start makin' stuff?"
nodded to him. "Ja." She smiled a bit, excited. "Do y' even know how t' sew?"
rolls his eyes. "Please. Nor and Sve ripped their clothes all the time. And I didn't wanna keep askin' the women of the villages to help." He headed downstairs after, going to the living room to set up a
sewing area.
bundled her materials and followed him. "'lright. Well 'll b'lieve y' about it then." She smiled a little and set her things down in the living room.
sighs. "Now... I don't actually have a sewin' machine. But I got thread and needles and that."
nods. ''I have a sewin machine but I don' want t' wreck the fabric with it. Cause it 's so old.
"
nodded as he went to get some needles and thread for them. Along with scissors and measuring tape.
went to get a pad of paper to sketch out what she wanted.
Søren
was
excited for this~ He got everything organised and smiled, waiting for her.
hummed as she finished the drawing. "Think y' can help me make this?" She showed him the dress.
looked it over and smiled, nodding. "M'sure. It can't be too hard with us doin' it together."
nodded to him. "Ja that's true." She started to draft out the pattern for it.
organised the clothes into colours before starting to rip the seams.
continued to draft out the pattern, cutting it out when she was finally happy with it.
got most of the clothes ripped so they had fabric to work with. "Ye wanna do the placn' and cuttin'? Or want me to help?"
shook her head. "Nej, I can do it m'self." She hummed as she placed the patterna nd cut out the fabric pieces. "There."
watched her as she worked, finding this fun. He helped pin pieces to other pieces. "I guess ye'd want help sewin', since this is a lotta fabric?"
nods. "Ja, if y' want t' help me." She didn't mind if she had to sew it herself, she knew she could.
got some thread and a needle for himself and started sewing.
picked up a needle and thread and began to sew it. She was so pleased with doing this with him.
liked doing something with her. It was fun, and he liked making clothes for her. He could make them tighter in certain places.....
Astrid
was
sure that he would do that. "Don' make 'em too tight or they won' fit."
rolls his eyes. "I woooon't. Don't worry~"
"Liar." She mumbled as she sewed FOLLOWING HER PATTERN. BI
Søren
was
following it! He just took it in a bit.
Astrid
was
honestly just hoping he would leave enough room for it to for her.
would. He wanted her to be comfortable while walking around.
(My brain is dying. LOOK AT THAT SENTENCE. DAMN THAT'S GREAT WRITING.)
|Hours later they finished the dress.
smiles as he poked her. "Go try it on."
nods to him, picking up the dress and starting to leave the room before pausing, and stripping off her clothes. She had no problem with nudity.
watched her intently.
squirmed a little, she wasn't used to getting SO watched. She slipped the dress on, letting out the ties on the sides of her chest slightly. "How's it look?"
smiles. "It looks great on ye..."
smiles a little "Tack.. 'S a little tight on ' chest though." she didn't like things super tight on her chest.
just smiiiiiled.
just frowned at him. "I can 'lways let it out."
pouts. "But it looks good..."
sighed. "I don' 'lways need this much shown.." She was sure that this looked odd on her.
pouts. "Just leave iiittttt."
sighed. "Fine." She shook her head slightly.
smiled widely. "Okay. When do we wanna do this whole thing now?"
shrugged. "Whenever y' want t' I don' mind." She was starting to pull the dress off.
hums as he watched her. "We can prepare today and spend all of tomorrow bein' Vikings."
nods smiling, as she got her clothes back on. "That'll work." She was happy.
watched as she got dressed again before putting every thing away. "We gonna hunt or buy our food? I doubt there's much here to hunt if we go out, though..."
hummed a little. "Buy it then? 'S jus' easier now a days."
sighed and nodded. "We can at least cook it traditionally tomorrow. What do ye want? Or should I just get a variety of meats?"
"... Moose.." She flushed a little and smiled, she couldn't help what she liked.
made a quiet sound but nodded. It'd at least be less scary to get meat from one this way...
bit her lip. "What?" She heard that sound, and he looked a little nervous.
shakes his head. "Nothin'. It's... it's fine." He smiled after, just a little nervous about moose. Alive moose though.
liked moose, and wasn't afraid of them. "Y'er scared 'f livin moose, aren't y'?" She was shocked.
huffs and pouted. "Nej."
nodded to him. "Y' are..!" She was shocked. "That's adorable."
pouted more. "Nej! I'm not!" He crossed his arms, huffing at her.
kissed his cheek. "Ja y' are." She couldn't believe that.
stuck his tongue out. It wasn't his fault that there were no moose in Denmark. In fact, the biggest animal they had really was a fox or so...
laughed a little behind her hand. "Didn' y' freak out when that Moose got 'cross the Öresund?"
just looked to the side. "... It was sudden okay."
stares. "'S jus' a moose." She shrugged. "They 'ren't that bad."
"They're huge!" He threw up his arms as high as he could. "They're like this tall, and are massive! And would kill ye easily!"
".... 'Ve ridden a moose." She said off handedly, she wasn't lying, but she wanted to see his reaction. "B'sides. Mermaids can kill, but y' love 'em."
made a sound. "Ye rode one?! How did ye not get trampled? And mermaids are different. They're nice to me."
shook her head. "Nej, they aren't. They're mean, 'nd crash ships." Mermaids weren't fond of her. "Ja I rode one. ... b'cause I didn' get under her hooves?"
huffs. "It must have been small. And mermaids are just misunderstood! It's not like that plan to crash the ships. Just the sailors get distracted by their beauty."
raises an eyebrow. "'nd drownin the sailors? Ja, they don' 'lways do it m'liciously. But they can be m'licious 'bout it. Nej, it was a full grown moose. I wouldn' try t' ride a young one."
pouts. "They don't know any better. They forget humans can't breath underwater like they can..." He just stared at her, huffing more. He couldn't imagine her riding a full grown moose.
thought it was fun. She couldn't believe trusting the mermaids. "Are y' sure 'bout that? I swear some do know that we can't breathe under water." She realized she said 'we'. ".......... Uh... They...."
smirks. "Ye think? Let's go find out, then." Heh eaded to the door after. He didn't even take into account that she mixed the two up, thinking she was just scared of mermaids.
wasn't scared of mermaids! They just didn't like her! "What do y' mean, let's go find out?"
hums. "We're gonna go visit 'em."
frowns. "Why?" She followed him regardless of wanting to or not.
shrugs "Why not? It's been a while."
frowned to herself. "Nevermind.." She always had them hissing at her, and trying to bring her into the water.
thought this would be a better time~
sighed and just followed him to the mermaids. She stayed back from the edge, not trusting them.
wasn't even shy as he climbed over the rocks to get to the ledge where the water was. He smiled and stuck his hands in the water, quietly calling them closer.
made a face. "Søren... Don' do that." She didn't like this.
sighs. "Don't worry... they'll be nice to ye. Maybe..." He knew they liked to try and kiss and play with him, but he was loyal to Astrid.
didn't like that. She slowly walked toward the edge of the water, watching for them.
smiled as he saw some shimmering scales. He waited a bit longer before he was pulled in suddenly.
gasped when she saw that, she dashed in after him.
just got to the surface a bit later, laughing. He forgot that that happened quite often..
Astrid
was
now in the water, she wrapped her arms around him, thankful he was back up. "What in Odin's name happened?"
chuckles and shakes his head. "It's okay... they just pulled me in." Soon enough a few mermaids surface, only having their eyes above the water though.
looked at the mermaids wearily. She held onto Søren, but kept herself a float.
got them back to the edge of the rocks and pulled them both up, but left his legs in the water. "They're friendly." He pulled out some kroner coins from his pocket and tossed a few in, watching them swim a
after the shiny metal.
climbed onto the rock, watching them swim away. "There are so many.." She was amazed none had hissed at her yet.
nods. "I'm glad they came... they're not always here when I come randomly."
frowned a little and nodded. She noticed one, and kind of tensed. "One 's starin at us."
blinks and looks to her, smiling. "Hej." He held out his hand towards her. "Come here... we won't hurt ye. Trust us."
|The mermaid looked between Astrid and Søren. She shrank back a little, but came foreward slowly, her eyes lingering on the blond female. Astried stayed quiet, she didn't want to scare the creature, but she
didn't want it too close either.
smiled as he brought his hand back and got another kroner, handing it to Astrid. "Give it to her."
nodded, she took the kroner and held it out to the mermaid. The Mermaid looked from the shiney object, to Astrid and back. She quickly reached out, snatching Astrid's wrist, pulling her into the water, wrapping
her arms around the blond, and leaning her head against the other, kissing her cheek. Astrid yelped a little as she fell into the water. "S-Søren..." Astrid had no idea what to do now that she was in the water.
laughs at that. "Aww, how cute~ She likes ye!" He kicked his feet a little, making the water splash around them as other mermaids giggled and laughed too.
made a few sounds, she yelped as the mermaid pulled and moved Astrid to push her lips right against the country's. Astrid squeaked and froze she didn't know how to react. She started to flail a little.
chuckles a bit as he leaned towards them a little. "Ye know, there's a rumour that if ye're kissed by a mermaid ye can breath underwater for 10 minutes."
Astrid
was
honestly panicking . She would rather have not been kissed. The Mermaid pulled away and smiled at Astrid, a flush on her face. She started to pull the country down. Astrid began to get scared. "N-nej!" She
did NOT want to test that rumour. She reached for Søren, trying to get away as the Mermaid tightened her grip, and made quiet upset sounds.
chuckles a bit and took Astrid's hand, pulling her back. "Maybe next time, little one. She's a litlte new to mermaids still."
pretty much clung to Søren. Death didn't scare her, but drowning, her lungs filling with water did. That would be a painful way to wake up too. The Mermaid pouted and reached for Astrid again, making a few more
sad sounds. She wanted Astrid in the water, and to have Astrid come down to her home.
patted the mermaids head lightly . "Don't worry. We'll be back another time. Maybe then she'll be up for more adventure."
|She cringed down from the touch, but started to smile widely, nodding. She pulled Astrid's hand and kissed it before disappearing into the water. Astrid shivered a little. "Um.. What now?"
shrugs. "We can go, if ye want. I've told the others I'd come back another time to play with 'em."
nodded to him. "Ja. 'M cold." She wanted to go home. "Let's go."
helped her out of the water, shaking like a dog before walking out.
rung out her hair slightly after she got out of the water. "Tack."
kissed her lightly, smiling a bit before waving to the mermaids who were sad they were leaving, but knew they'd be back. "I'll bring more shiny stuff with me next time, girls. Don't worry~"
didn't wave, she just kind of hunched her shoulders inward. She was not okay with the fact that she got kissed.
wondered why. He thought it was a rare thing to happen! She should be happy!
didn't know how to handle that sort of thing, and she didn't want him mad at her for kissing someone else.
would have been mad if it was anyone else, but for mermaids it was more of a greeting. Besides, he knew she wouldn't go running off with them. Even though they were beautiful.
didn't like to kiss other people. She also wasn't fond of most mermaids, she wasn't sure that the mermaid would not try to kill her.
rubbed her back as he got her back inside the house. "Ye don't have to come next time. I don't want ye to be uncomfortable..."
