Dark elf loses boy.
Lying in bed, side by side to her new lover, Seidr absently rubbed the soft fuzz on Hans' chin. Was he really so young that a beard yet eluded him? She worried that he might not be with her long enough for shaving to become an issue. Already the Hero's Call clearly echoed in his thoughts.
"Something's bothering you," she said to him.
Hans rumbled a sigh. "It's silly, but, well, you're so much lighter and smaller than I am. When we made love, I was afraid I might break you in two. I felt like some pawing animal."
She made a sound more like a chirp than a laugh. "I am, by the reckoning of Midgard, your realm, 523 years old. In that time, I've had thirty or so mates and lovers, most of them my own kind. None have been as kind and gentle, or satisfying, as you have."
She sat up abruptly. "Though this 'pawing animal' thing sounds like it might be fun."
aIt is.a
"You stay out of this," Seidr muttered.
Hans sat up and looked at her. "Stay out of what?" he asked.
Seidr apologized, "Sorry, just, answering a 'stray' thought out loud."
aStray thought?! Very funny. This is my place. I'm the one that invited you in, remember?a
With that she cartwheeled over him, naked, pirouetted once and knelt down. With some difficulty, Hans had to work at getting his gaze up to her face.
She smiled before wagging a finger at him. "We've had enough fun. It's time for us to get to work."
"Work?"
"Uh huh." She winked. "You have unasked questions yet to be answered and we need to get you outfitted, unless you plan to fight monsters barehanded, wearing only my skimpy robe."
Still kneeling, she put her hands on her hips. "That would give Gni's warriors ideas I don't want them having." She took his hand and pulled gently. "I may even have something that by right belongs to you."
Hans leaned on an elbow, looking her in the eye, and asked, "How do you know I plan to fight at all?"
"You said you wanted to do the right thing, as soon as you decided what it was." Seidr poked him on the forehead. "Don't think for a moment I didn't notice when you reached your decision. You just weren't sure what my reaction was going to be when you told me you're going to join Gni's fight."
Seidr dressed as she spoke, first panties, then bra, then the robe, tied at the waist. Hans enjoyed the reverse strip, but wasn't sure if he should ask why she wasn't wearing any undergarments before.
aHey! How about giving me some attention?a
Hans noticed Bast head butting his hand and began stroking her back.
