[Event]had heard several rumors running through both camps about the prisoners Laurasia had taken and different operations Laurasia was engaged in. She walks to the area prisoners were held one night, watching-

the guards carefully. When she sees the guard walk away, she sneaks in and looks at the prisoners. Her heart sinks and she grabs a set of keys, using them to get into one of the cells and start treating the-

the prisoner. It doesn't take long for her to be caught and thrown out. The next morning, one of the other nurses warns her that Gjertrud was to be arrested. She frowns and grabs her things, changing into her-

civilian dress before setting out, heading for the Gondwana camp. She had to tell someone what she had learned. Her heart races as she follows her usual path between the camps, freezing when she hears a click-

Her eyes glance at the ground and she sees recently moved dirt under her feet. She couldn't move...
Søren was
11 years ago
walking through the area, looking to see if his normal routes were targeted for traps now or not. He started going down an unknown but used path, being careful of it. When he hear someone running through the
Søren
11 years ago
forest he tensed and hid, waiting to see who would emerge. When he heard the classic sound of the click though he froze.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
tried to stay calm. As long as she didn't shift her weight, she could keep the mine from exploding. It wasn't a very good long term strategy...
Søren
11 years ago
slowly approached the area, hearing that the bomb hadn't gone off. When he saw a figure he moved quicker. He hadn't noticed it was her yet, however. "Hey, don't move..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
tenses when she hears him. Her heart races a little, worried, but the bomb doesn't go off. She slowly reaches for her gun.
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "Nej, it's okay. I want to help ye..." He got out from the forest and in view of her.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns at him. "No. Stay away."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "I gotta help." He stopped though when he noticed it was her, and frowned, feeling his heart sink a bit. "... Gjertrud...?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly and points the gun at him. "Don't come any closer."
Søren
11 years ago
looked at her to the gun before taking his pack off and walking closer to her.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
...points the gun at herself. "Soren... Don't."
Søren
11 years ago
stopped instantly. "W-... what are ye doin'?" He had his hand out towards her, wondering what she was thinking.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"I'm on a mine, Soren. If I move, we both..." She frowns. "Just go away..." She didn't want Soren to risk anything to help her.
Søren
11 years ago
kept looking at her, swallowing quietly before walking closer to her.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "No! Stay away from me!"
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "I'm goin' to help ye. Now, ye can stop me by shootin' yerself, but then we'll both die."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns but slowly puts the gun away. "Soren. Stop, please..."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head as he hugged her carefully. "I told ye... ye're my friend. I don't leave friends behind."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
doesn't hug him back, she just stands limp in his arms. "Soren... You really are an idiot..."
Søren
11 years ago
strokes her hair lightly. "Ye must be terrified..." He had no idea how she even felt right now.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns. "Soren? I need to ask you something..."
Søren
11 years ago
didn't want to move, keeping close to her. "What is it?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "Why... why does Gondwana fight Laurasia? We... we were always told that all of the soldiers in Gondwana are ruthless and will kill anyone without a thought and that is why we are at war... But-
Gjertrud
11 years ago
that's not true."
Søren
11 years ago
frowns a little. "The same reason for any war. Conflictin' political powers that try to take aggressively from another..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"Soren... I..." She clenches her fists. "Laurasia's planning something terrible and doing terrible things..."
Søren
11 years ago
frowns as he leaned back a bit to look at her. "What... what do ye mean?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns and looks at the ground. "They are torturing prisoners and... I think they're trying to make new weapons. They're planning on targeting civilians soon..."
Søren
11 years ago
tensed at that. "... Gjertrud, I know ye're on their side but... I can't... I can't let that happen. I don't mind that they fire at us, since we're soldiers. But the moment the battle leaves the battlefield,
Søren
11 years ago
and moves onto civilians, I can't stand for it."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head slowly. "No... I'm not on their side anymore... If I go back, they'll kill me. You need to go warn them."
Søren
11 years ago
frowns. "What did ye do...?" He was secretly hoping she'd join his side now, but didn't want to think about it at this time.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "I helped a few prisoners and listened in on a top secret meeting... They're looking for me right now, I barely escaped."
Søren
11 years ago
nods a little. "Good... now, let's get ye out of here." He stepped back and went to grab his pack.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "Go ahead and warn them. If both of us die here, it will be useless."
Søren
11 years ago
smirks a bit. "Neither of us will die." He got his pack in front of him and crouched before her. "Now, on the count of three, jump to the side."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
's eyes go wide. "A-are you sure this will work?"
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "If I move quick enough, and get the bag down soon after, it'll compress the bomb..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "No, I don't want to risk it..."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles up to her. "Trust me. I have a lot in here that'll keep me safe."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns at him. "Soren... please. Just go... I'm dead no matter what but if you died..."
Søren
11 years ago
continued to smile. "What kind of talk is that? Come on. The sooner we're done this, the sooner we can get ye to safety. Ye can tell the captains yerself about what ye heard." He looked back to the
Søren
11 years ago
ground. "Ready?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hold her breath in fear, shaking her head. "I-I can't..."
Søren
11 years ago
shifted closer to her. "If ye want, lean forward now and put a hand on my back. When I count to three, push off it."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns but rests her hand on his shoulder. "If we die, I'm going to kill you..."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles. "Ye'll have yer chance when we're back at camp... now." He took a deep breath before starting to count down. "Tre... to..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
closes her eyes and tenses up, lifting her leg quickly away from the mine when it was time.
Søren
11 years ago
held his breath as the moment her feet left the area and dove onto the spot with his bag, putting pressure on it to make sure it didn't fly away. He clenched his eyes shut, ready for an explosion that would
Søren
11 years ago
blow him away, though all that seemed to happen was a bit of a ripple of the Earth under him.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
holds her breath for a while before setting her foot down away from the mine.
Søren
11 years ago
slowly opened his eyes and carefully moved away from his pack, thankfully unharmed. "... Either we're lucky, or ye stood on it so long that the trigger got rested off balance from the spark..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
opens her eyes and finally breaths before slumping to the ground next to him, her emotions finally getting to her.
Søren
11 years ago
glanced over to her, noticing the shock start to set in. "I can get a medical team out here, or I can carry ye back. But the sooner we move, the better."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him. "Soren, I can't go to Gondwana either..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods as he got up. "Ja, ye can. Ye're a refugee."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"But I was a spy, they won't believe anything I tell them."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "They will. They trust me, and know I wouldn't lead 'em estray... I can even tell them, and ye be there as proof."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "Okay..."
Søren
11 years ago
quietly inched his pack away from the bomb, successfully getting it and putting it on his back. "Need help walkin'?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head and slowly stands up. "I can do it."
Søren
11 years ago
nodded and waited for her before starting to walk. "We gotta tell them when we get to camp..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods and walks with him, watching closer for any signs of mines.
Søren
11 years ago
made sure to look out for it, knowing it could end them, and he didnt want any more surprises.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
watches her steps carefully as she walks.
Søren was
11 years ago
glad to see the camp in the distance, knowing there wouldn't be mines this close to camp.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
still keeps an eye out, not knowing how close they were.
Søren
11 years ago
grabbed her arm lightly and walked with her to the officers tent, demanding he needed to tell them something. They could tell by the determined look in his eyes that it was important and headed in to talk to
Søren
11 years ago
them, bringing her with him.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks around at everyone, a little frightened and intimidated.
Søren
11 years ago
kept her close before telling them what she told him. They nodded a little, but then asked her to clarify and give them details.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hesitates before answering their questions, scared that they wouldn't believe her or remember her as the nurse in one of the medical tents.
Søren
11 years ago
thought the situation seemed important enough that they couldn't not listen to her. He stayed by her side, informing them that she was a nurse. Nurses always heard a lot.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
clarified that she was nurse for the Laurasian army. She was mostly worried that they would listen and then kill her or send her to prison...
Søren
11 years ago
watched the look on the commanders faces as they looked and talked quietly to each other. He knew it was a risk bringing her, but he thought it was better off this way. They decided to lock her up for now, and
Søren
11 years ago
be under surveillance, but she would not be treated as a prisoner of war. It was just to ensure she didn't go back to the Laurasian army.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns but doesn't protest. At least she would be safe there...
Søren
11 years ago
frowned when she was taken by guards to the prison, while he was kept back to explain himself as to why he trusted and brought her in.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hoped he wouldn't tell them she was a spy... She is brought to a small cell and shut inside. With a small sigh she sits in a corner and hugs her knees close. She freezes when she remembers that she had her-
Gjertrud
11 years ago
Gondwana nurse uniform in her bag that was confiscated...
Søren was
11 years ago
held there for a few hours before being freed. He headed straight to the cell after to go see her.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hears someone walking towards her and hides her face against her knees.
Søren
11 years ago
smiled faintly when he got to the cell, nodding to the guard who was stationed there. The guard wasn't going to leave, but he was at least glad to see her. "Hej..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
takes a deep breath when she hears him and ignores him.
Søren
11 years ago
frowns. "Hey... I'm sorry this happened... but it's only until they confirm that yer information is true..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "No, it's fine. I'm safer here anyways."
Søren
11 years ago
nods a little. "They found the Gondwana uniform in yer bag..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
tightens her grip on her knees and stays silent. She figured that the first thing they would do is search her bag...
Søren
11 years ago
put his hands on the bars lightly. "I told 'em how ye got it..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks up at him. "What do you mean?"
Søren
11 years ago
smiles. "I gave it to ye, since ye were a refugee and wanted to help us."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
stares at him. "Soren."
Søren
11 years ago
fidgeted a bit. "Like I said, they plan to free ye the moment their information is confirmed..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
pauses before standing up and walking up to the bars.
Søren
11 years ago
didn't look up to her, worried he might have done something wrong.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
places her hands over Soren's and rests her forehead against the bars. "Soren, please... I appreciate your help, I really do. But please stop trying to help me..."
Søren
11 years ago
looked at their hands, sighing. "Ye're a friend, Gjertrud... I want ye safe and sound. But believe me, once ye're out, ye're on yer own." He joked quietly, knowing she was strong enough to take care of
Søren
11 years ago
herself.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
avoids looking at him. "Soren, I know you don't feel the same but I..." She frowns and closes her eyes. No, she didn't want to tell him and make him feel worse.
Søren
11 years ago
looks to her before putting his hand through the bars, placing it on her cheek. "I know, Gjertrud..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him in surprise, a faint blush appearing. "I'm sorry...."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "Ye have nothin' to be sorry for. Things like this can't be helped some times."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns and looks away from him. "If I had known you were interested in someone else, I wouldn't have tried..."
Søren
11 years ago
sighs as he lowered his hand. "I didn't even know myself until recently... but... it's still up in the air. He's not even talkin' to me, so..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "Try to make it up with him... I'm sure... I'm sure that the two of you will be fine."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "Even if we are, I don't wanna forget 'bout ye. We've been through tough shit together. I don't wanna forget."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"You don't have to forget... but I... I don't think we should spend any more time together. I've only hurt you."
Søren
11 years ago
smiled a bit. "Ye've made me stronger, Gjertrud. Don't think I've not had some feelin's for ye, too."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
tightens her grip on the bars and shakes her head. "Stop... stop saying things like that if you don't mean it."
Søren
11 years ago
sighs. "I do mean it though. If I didn't, I'd not keep encouragin' ye to move to my town..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks up at him. "I... even if you did, it's too late for us now."
Søren
11 years ago
sighed quietly. "It... might not have to be..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "No, don't give up on Ludwig..."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head a bit. "I won't, but...."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns. "I don't want to be your second choice. If you like him better, go for it. But if it doesn't work out, don't come to me."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "If it doesn't work out, I'd still want us to all be friends of some sort... if ye could handle that..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hesitates before nodding slowly. "I... I guess."
Søren
11 years ago
smiled a little. "We can all get together at camp fires and that... give scary ghost stories, drink beer..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods and pulls away from the bars. She felt a little better, though she was still afraid she wouldn't live long enough to do any of that.
Søren
11 years ago
slowly stood up. "I have to fulfil some other stuff, but I'll come visit ye once in a while. Ye'll get food and water regularly... so don't feel like ye're bein' punished..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
watches him. "And... please try to make up with him."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles faintly. "I'll try. No promises we'll get together..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "I just want the two of you to be happy."
Søren
11 years ago
nods as he stepped back some more. "I want ye to be happy, too."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
...nods slowly. "I will be happy when you are."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles. "I'll be happy when this war is over. And I can only imagine somethin's goin' on, and we'll make it outta here alive."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "I hope so..."
Søren
11 years ago
waved to her. "Take care. I'll be back later tonight to check on ye."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
waves back at him. "...Thanks."
Søren
11 years ago
walked out of there with a smile, glad things seemed to turn out better than he thought.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
felt a little relieved that she was able to talk to Soren. She wouldn't think things were working out well until she was released from this prison, though...
Søren
11 years ago
knew that, and if he could prove her innocense he would. But it would be too suspicious if he went to confirm the information... He knew the one who was sent out though would be quick.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
worried for whoever they sent, knowing how they would react if they found them.
Søren
11 years ago
just hoped for the best... He had good feelings though about all this.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hoped so... She didn't want the country she had fought for to resort to immorality to win.
Søren
11 years ago
knew Gondwana had a strong side, and strong willed people. He just hoped for the best...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
had always trusted Laurasia... now she was starting to rethink her loyalties.
Søren
11 years ago
thought she had time to really consider her situation right now..
Gjertrud
11 years ago
would be thinking it over while she waited.
Søren
11 years ago
The guard got some food for her and quietly passed it to her later on in the night, making sure she had enough water and things. He was informed to treat her with some respect.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
takes the food with a small thanks and eats quietly in the corner.
Søren
11 years ago
The guard went back to his post, not thinking she was that bad personally.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
just sat quietly most of the time.
Søren
11 years ago
returned later that night, a bit tired but wanted to make sure she was doing alright.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sat in a corner and glances up when he walks in. "Hello."
Søren
11 years ago
hums. "I just wanted to see how ye were holdin' up..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shrugs. "I'm alive."
Søren
11 years ago
nods as he sat by the bars, leaning against them. "M'glad. They been more or less nice to ye here?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "They've been fine." She moves to sit next to him.
Søren
11 years ago
smiled as he rested his hands on the bars. "Hopefully ye'll be outta here by tomorrow..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
leans against the bars, mirroring him. "I just hope that I gave them enough warning..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods a little. "They seem to be movin' quickly, so I'm sure it's okay... or at least, I can hope too..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly and rests her head against the bars. She stays silent for a while before speaking again. "Laurasia is losing ground every day... They probably thought that would be the only way to turn the tide."
Søren
11 years ago
kissed her forehead lightly before putting his hand over hers. "Everythin'll be okay... we're a strong side. And soon ye'll be apart of us."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him. "Soren, I... don't know if I can be. Gondwana killed my family, destroyed my village... They're weren't any soldiers in the village... I can't just forget that."
Søren
11 years ago
looks to her and nods. "Then y ewon't be apart of us... ye'll just be helpin' justice... then ye can be neutral. Like so many others."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
looks to the ground and nods slowly. "I cannot go back to Laurasia and I will not be a part of Gondwana."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "Ye'll be a neutral citizen then... and just live on Gondwana property." He looked down after. "If.. ye want, that is."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
fidgets. "I don't think I'll be let back into Laurasia, so that's probably my only option."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "I want ye to have a nice life, but if ye want to go and try to live in Laurasia again... ye can try."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs. "I don't really have any reason to."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "It's yer home. Ye could at least try."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "My old village is now part of Gondwana territory now and I only ever lived with the army after."
Søren
11 years ago
nods at that. "We'll make somethin' work out..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods and reaches out to hold his hand.
Søren
11 years ago
smiles and takes her hand in his, rubbing his thumb over the back of it. "We'll be alright."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him and nods. "Yes." She glances at their hands before smiling faintly.
Søren
11 years ago
smiled widely. "I can stay with ye for tonight if ye want."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "No, I'm sure it would be uncomfortable for you. I'll be fine."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "I just want ye to be comfy..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him. "You mean you'd stay with me in here?"
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "Ja. Don't see why not."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns a little. "You're still recovering from your wounds, you need to sleep in a real bed."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "They're not that bad now, trust me. I can run without any pain."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
fidgets. "If you won't mind, you can stay with me."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles. "I'd like that, then..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods slowly. "Then you can stay with me. If they let you..."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "I can stay until I'm kicked out then."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
smiles faintly. "Thanks."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "What else are friends for, eh?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
leans against the bars again. She didn't think she'd be able to sleep but she appreciated the company.
Søren
11 years ago
would be with her either way.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sits in silence and closes her eyes. She didn't want to make Soren stay up if he was tired.
Søren was
11 years ago
tired, but he also doubted he could sleep. Ye had too much on his mind.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
just tries to relax.
Søren
11 years ago
stroked her hand lightly, humming quietly.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
smiles faintly and blinks at him.
Søren
11 years ago
glanced at her. "Ye okay in here...?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods slowly. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Søren
11 years ago
sighs. "I'll always worry. I don't want ye in here..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"I'm sure it won't be long."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "I hope tomorrow. But still..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
strokes his hand. "I'm fine, Soren. I'm safe here."
Søren
11 years ago
nods as he looked down at their hands. "I know ye're safe here. But I still want ye to be happy and all that..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
smiles faintly. "I am happy. You helped me and... and I know you are still my friend."
Søren
11 years ago
smiled widely at that. "So ye consider me a friend now?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hesitates before nodding. "I'm sorry for... for everything."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles a bit. "Why? It's not like ye started the war. We're just here to finish it... together."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him and hums under her breath. "I really do hope it's almost finished."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "I have a feelin' it is... our troops are quick on their feet, and if the info is true the word will be sent out instantly."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns a little. "I don't want to see more people die..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods as he held her hand tighter. "Ja, same... I've already done things I regret..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
looks at the floor. "I think we all have."
Søren
11 years ago
sighs. "At least we all understand each others pain..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods and tries to smile. "We all have that in common."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles. "If ye live in my village, every week we can get together, with Ludwig too, and we can all go to a cafe and just... relax."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
didn't know how keen Ludwig would be about that idea considering that she had threatened to hurt/kill him at one point.....
Søren
11 years ago
didn't know that, but he was sure they'd all get together once all of this was over...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
wasn't really looking forward to seeing Ludwig again... She felt guilty every time he was brought up.
Søren
11 years ago
didn't mean to, he just wanted them all to be friends...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
didn't blame him. She wanted the two of them to be happy. She closes her eyes. "Are you tired?"
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "Kinda. But I got too much adrenaline to sleep..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
shakes her head. "You should try or you'll just be more tired tomorrow."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles to her. "It's okay. I doubt I can sleep anyways. Especially when I'll be thinkin' of ye."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks quickly and looks away. "Idiot..."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles. "Don't worry 'bout me. I'll be fine, really. Ye can try to sleep if ye want."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
fidgets. "I don't know if I can..."
Søren
11 years ago
hums. "What if I told ye a bed time story?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
...laughs under her breath.

shrugs. "Hey, I'm serious. I know it helps my sister fall asleep when she's not tired."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blushes. "I.. usually drink."
Søren
11 years ago
hums a little. "I might be able to find a beer, or even some vodka...." He glanced around a bit. "Do ye still have some in yer bag?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "If you can't get it, it's fine."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs and slowly took his hand from hers. "Give me a minute, I'll try and find yer pack." He got up and went to the area where they confiscated her stuff.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
figured they'd be lucky if someone hadn't decided to 'confiscate' the vodka...
Søren
11 years ago
came back not too long later, smiling as he pulled the vodka from his jacket. "Now, ye can't have too much. Since we don't need a drunk Gjertrud stumblin' around. But ye get some."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks in surprise. "Wow, I wasn't expecting that to last through inspection."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "Dependin' who does the inspections matters. Some are loyal, some aren't. Ye were lucky this round." He sat by the bars again and undid the top of the bottle, holding it close to the bars since it
Søren
11 years ago
wouldn't fit through.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sticks her arms through the bars and reaches for the lid. "Here, I'll use this as a cup."
Søren
11 years ago
nods a bit, pouring it in carefully so as to not waste any. "Better than nothin' I guess."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods and pulls the lid through the bars and takes a drink. "Thanks..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "No problem." He sat back, placing the bottle down carefully.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
passes the lid back. "You can have some, too."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "Nej, it's yers. Ye cherish it."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "I shouldn't and I don't mind sharing, really."
Søren
11 years ago
looked at the bottle before pouring himself a little in the lid and taking a quick sip. "Tak."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
smiles faintly as she watches him. She leans against the wall next to the bars. "I'm going to try to sleep. You should too..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "I'll go when ye fall asleep then."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods, resting her head against the bars and closing her eyes. "Good night..."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles as he watched her. "Godnat, Gjertrud..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hums under her breath and tries to sleep.
Søren
11 years ago
closed the vodka up and hid it in his jacket again. He leaned against the bars a bit, humming quietly.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
's breathing slows and her hand falls limp to the floor.
Søren
11 years ago
smiles a little, seeing how she looked pretty peaceful. He still wanted to stay by her though, just in case.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
manages to fall asleep. She would feel a little guilty about him staying but she would really be grateful.
Søren
11 years ago
managed to fall asleep leaning against the bars. Even as the guards changed shift they didn't bother to move him.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sleeps through the night. It was quieter in the cell then she was used to at night. All she could hear was the breath of Soren and herself.
Søren
11 years ago
tried to be as quiet as he could, and thankfully didn't move at all in the night.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
groans quietly as she wakes in the morning, her neck stiff from leaning against the bars.
Søren was
11 years ago
still asleep, but just barely. He was never a heavy sleeper in these situations.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
stretches her neck and blinks over at him, pausing before smiling. So he did stay...
Søren
11 years ago
could hear a bit of movement and started to wake up, rubbing his eyes.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
stands up to stretch some more. "Morning..."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles a bit. "Morgen..." He rubbed his eyes and stretched. "How'd ye sleep?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"Better than anticipated, apparently."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles at that and stood up slowly. "Today ye should be released. Then ye'll be free~"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "Hopefully..."
Søren
11 years ago
yawned again. "Want me to get ye some breakfast?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hesitates before nodding. "If you don't mind..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods and headed out, acting quickly. He got some bowls of hot oatmeal and quickly brought it to her so it didn't get cold.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
smiles faintly and glances at the guard, wondering if he would let Soren pass it to her. There was no way that bowl would fit through the bars...
Søren
11 years ago
gave a quick word with him before he smiled wider, standing by the door as the guard opened it. He was quick in giving her the food, not wanting it to get cold and also not wanting the guard to get suspicious.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
takes the food and steps away from the door. "Thanks."
Søren
11 years ago
stepped back so the guard could lock the door again. He sat by the bars and started eating the food.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sits across from him and starts eating her own. It was better than the prison food, that was for sure.
Søren
11 years ago
eagerly ate, glad to be around her in this situation. He didn't want to leave her alone.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
didn't mind being alone but she was glad to have him there.
Søren
11 years ago
finished his food quick enough. "I can go check on yer status some time today if ye want..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks over at him. "If you don't mind... It would be nice to know how long I will be in here..."
Søren
11 years ago
nodded as he got up. "Take yer time eatin', then. I'll be back quickly..." He left after that, running as fast as he could.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
watches him go. She didn't think he meant now....
Søren
11 years ago
thought now was better than later. It took a while but he did return, humming quietly as he went to sit by the bars again.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
stares at him as he walks in. "Any news?"
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "Ye'll be freed later today. They got word that what ye said was true."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him before breathing a sigh of relief. "That's good, thank you."
Søren
11 years ago
nodded happily. "They'll be sendin' over a soldier to talk to the guard, since my word is kinda a conflict of interest... but he shouldn't take forever. Ye should be out by dinner time."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "I will look forward to it." She didn't know where she would go or what she would do after but at least she was able to get to the camp and give them the information.
Søren
11 years ago
thought she could get a spot in the medical tent. They generally had a spare bunk or two...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
would head for a neutral town if worst came to worst.
Søren
11 years ago
could try and find a few nearby so he could visit her when he had time off.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
would like that... she hoped that the war would be over before he got the chance, though.
Søren
11 years ago
did too... though, he had a feeling it was going to end really soon.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him. "Do you have work to be doing soon?"
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "I'm free for a few more days... normal rotations and stuff."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods slowly. "Okay. I was hoping I wasn't keeping you from anything important."
Søren
11 years ago
shakes his head. "Nej, not at all. Besides, I wanna make sure ye're okay..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
tries to smile. "I will be fine."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "I just wanna make sure..." He was still worried for her.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
wasn't worried, especially now that she knew she would be released that day.
Søren
11 years ago
still wanted to make sure she was okay. And wanted to know where she'd be staying.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hadn't a clue yet. She sits quietly in her cell, glancing at him every once in a while.
Søren
11 years ago
lightly played with the bars of the cell. "Soon... soon ye'll be out... then we can find a place for ye..."
Gjertrud gives
11 years ago
a hollow smile. "I feel like a stray cat..."
Søren
11 years ago
frowns a bit. "Ye aren't, so don't think that... ye gotta home."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
"Where is that?"
Søren
11 years ago
chuckled. "In my heart." He knew it was cheesy, and semi-terrible, but true.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
....reaches through the bars to punch at his arm. "Idiot..." A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Søren
11 years ago
chuckled at that, clearly still happy. "I just want ye to know that I care."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs. "You care too much."
Søren
11 years ago
shrugs. "Someone has to. I think everyone deserves to be loved, cared, and thought of..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks at him, grabbing the bars loosely. "I..." She frowns and looks at the ground. "Thank you."
Søren
11 years ago
smiles at that. "Velbekommen, Gjertrud..."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
didn't know how to react or what to say. She couldn't remember the last time she had let someone into her life or had someone care about her.
Søren
11 years ago
had a lot of heart, so he cared for a lot of people. Especially when he got to know them well...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
liked how caring he was towards other people. It was one reason she kept trying to push him towards the medical field.
Søren
11 years ago
would probably still go and talk to people there, just to make them a bit happier.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
would be happy to hear that. She hears someone walking towards them and glances over, hoping it would be the soldier tasked with having her let out.
Søren
11 years ago
quickly looks over and smiles as he got up, listening to the soldier talk to the guard. He bounced up and down as the guard opene the door to let her out, while the solider went to retrieve her bag.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
stands up slowly and walks out, nearly laughing at Soren's excitement, hiding her smile behind her hand.
Søren
11 years ago
The soldier just handed her the bag before walking off again, while the guard went back to his duties. Søren eagerly took her arm and walked out, heading for the medical tent. "Let's find ye a bed~"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
walks with him before hesitating. "Where? I probably shouldn't stay anywhere near where I was before..." She didn't want anyone recognizing her and getting her thrown back in the cell.
Søren
11 years ago
nods a little. "... I could bring ye to the fox hole that Ludwig and I stay in... or just find a fox hole around the area."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods slowly. "As long as it's safe..."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "Ja, it's on the back lines. This way even ye could get to the soldiers before other medics." He started guiding her towards the area, eager to get her some where close to him.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
follows behind him. She didn't mind working closer to the lines and if this meant she could help more, she would do it.
Søren
11 years ago
found a fox hole that looked empty and went into it. "How does this look?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
follows him with a small shrug. "As good as anywhere else, I suppose."
Søren
11 years ago
smiled and got up the side, pointing to another. "That's Ludwig's and mine... so ye can even throw somethin' at me to get my attention."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
watches him before nodding. "I will keep that in mind..."
Søren
11 years ago
sat in the fox hole with her. "So, is this okay?"
Gjertrud
11 years ago
blinks over at him and nods. "I do not mind this at all. I am glad that I will still be able to help."
Søren
11 years ago
nods. "Just watch out, I tend to get hurt when I don't pay attention."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
frowns. "I'd rather you not get hurt at all..."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles. "I know, I know. I'm tryin' to be good, but some times it's hard."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
sighs quietly. "I'll keep an eye out for you but you had better not get hurt."
Søren
11 years ago
nods a little. "If I do get hurt, I'll make sure to look for ye."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
punches at his arm lightly. "Good... I'm not letting any of the other medics help you."
Søren
11 years ago
chuckles at that. "It'll be okay... really. If anythin' happens though..." He shrugged a bit.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods slowly and glances down at her dress, brushing some dirt off to distract herself from worrying.
Søren
11 years ago
smiles and ruffles her hair a bit. "I'm gonna go do a few rounds, but I'll be back."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
nods. "I'll get changed and start helping out."
Søren
11 years ago
nods at that. "Sounds good. I'm sure there's people around that need help."
Gjertrud
11 years ago
pulls a nurse uniform out of her bag, making sure there were no patches on it.
Søren
11 years ago
smiled, glad she seemed okay. He waved to her before walking off.
Gjertrud
11 years ago
waves in return and pauses, looking around before changing out of her clothes and into her uniform.
Søren
11 years ago
thought she'd be a great help to the soldiers...
Gjertrud
11 years ago
hoped she would be. Even though she wasn't part of their army, she was tired of seeing people hurt and injured.
Søren
11 years ago
thought any help was worth it... He still liked her for everything she did.
