@skipsmithr​ liked ❤ for a starter

HER FATHER  WOKE EARLY THAT MORNING. Angrboða wondered if he even slept. However, his energy wasn’t failing. He shared his plans with her soon as he saw her waking up. She didn’t really understand why it was necessary to go for a walk in the forest. It was so early. Even nature in the forest was quiet. 

It was fascinating at first. However, as time passed on, as her feet got tired, the lovely walk in the forest was growing boring and exhausting.

❝Father, we’ve been walking for quite some time❞ Angrboða said  ❝Are you going to tell me what for?❞

           It was a desire he didn't voice directly. As always, Torstein pondered his thoughts. For days, sometimes months and, since they had become immortal beings, occasionally years. This was one of those things he had mulled over again and again, through their move to England, to France, to Ireland and back to Iceland, where they currently resided, their small home not too far from Reykjavik and with ample opportunity for the children to visit.

           They did, of course, their children. They visited a lot, Valí most, not living far from them. He had always been the one that travelled with. Some people would think it might be his blindness but Torstein liked to think that his son just enjoyed the company of his parents - and that was fine. He taught, now. As and Angie had jobs, too, and he was proud them.

           But he also missed them.

           So that was what he had been pondering about - he almost felt bad to admit it, but he missed holding a child in his arms, against his chest, tugging on his beard. It had been over 400 years, maybe more, and that was a long time. The problem just was that he had no clue of how to talk to Floki and Helga about it.

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾      @skipsmithr​ asked the herbalist:              In half a moon, I'll return for [you]

     Bony fingers curled into his beard, but eyes did not meet. Sorrow lingered in hers, for the idea he would be gone again   𝐇 𝐔 𝐑 𝐓   more than she dared to admit. Again he was needed elsewhere, again he had said yes. What could she do ? What could she say ? She could follow, remain in Kattegat with the other women. She could, but she did not   𝐖 𝐀 𝐍 𝐓   to. Home was here, and here she would remain                            if only he, too, would stay.

     ❝   I will miss you-   ❞     Her voice so eerily soft, bordering   𝐁 𝐑 𝐎 𝐊 𝐄 𝐍.   His scent would fade after a week, his crafts would be covered by a thin layer of sand and she would stop visiting the beach below their home. Half a moon was perhaps not long, but Helga had learned once Floki was occupied his time away could easily double, leaving her with nothing more than   𝐅 𝐄 𝐀 𝐑   and uncertainty.

     It was the fate many women carried.

     ❝   I hope you   𝐑 𝐄 𝐓 𝐔 𝐑 𝐍   to us soon.   ❞

     Torstein knew, Floki knew   &   she knew. In fact, she was sure   &   had been for the past few months already. Her stomach   𝐆 𝐑 𝐄 𝐖,   and a similar glow had started to caress her cheeks like it had when she was pregnant with Angrboða. Another child was growing inside her, and so her happiness had grown as well. It showed, for even her gardens   𝐅 𝐋 𝐎 𝐔 𝐑 𝐈 𝐒 𝐇 𝐄 𝐃,   despite the many warnings she would get to take it easy.

     She simply could not help it.

     ❝   Angie ! Please, come back here. Don’t   𝐂 𝐑 𝐀 𝐖 𝐋   off like that- silly girl.   ❞     A chuckle lingered in the back of her throat, one hand resting on her stomach, the other reaching out in hope her little toddler would grab it and push herself up. Dirt did not bother Helga, but if there was one thing she   𝐅 𝐄 𝐀 𝐑 𝐄 𝐃  most it was losing sight of her daughter.

     ❝   Can anyone get her ?   ❞

“It’s not a party until someone almost fucking dies.” [ [f]lo about killing baldr ]

answered for @skipsmithr

           "Floki, no,“ Torstein said with a small groan, "no, absolutely no. It can be a party when someone doesn’t die. In fact, I think the party is much better if no one dies, and you better chance your view on that particular little fact or we are never having a party again."

.｡･ﾟﾟ･      @skipsmithr​ asked one of the three:                                 "Váli, explain. Now."

              𝙳𝙴𝙻𝙸𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙴   𝙱𝚁𝙾𝚆   𝚁𝙰𝙸𝚂𝙴𝙳     -Váli’s head tilting to where his father’s footsteps had come to a halt. Anger, discontent or just curious                             not always could the boy feel Floki’s emotions, or read them properly, at least.     ❝   What’ya need, dad ?   ❞     Oh, he liked playing the rebellious teen, especially being the youngest out of all three. Toying with the phone in his hands he did not really need an answer to that question. Fjor had just sneaked out of the house- in case anyone wanted to call it sneaking. His car had been parked right in front of the door anyway.                              how could he have known someone was home ?     ❝   I thought we decided that going back to school would be fun this time around- group projects are included in those.   ❞

       @skipsmithr asked:                             "I am mad at myself"

            JUST LIKE SHE WANTED HIM TO BE     -it was not like Helga to get angry at either of her husbands, but this was simply something she could not shake. The truth, the harsh truth. Half of her life had simply been a lie in the arms of a man she thought she knew. A trickster he was, for sure, but this was no longer a trick, it had been deceit. She had been lied to, Torstein had been lied to, even their children felt like nothing but a lie and the herbalist felt nauseated by that very thought.

     ❝ Do you have any idea of what you have done to us ? ❞    Her eyes would not even try to find his, unable to look at him. Perhaps part of her was afraid of what she would see. If it was still the man she had fallen in love with, or a mad man the stories sometimes told about.     ❝ You kept this hidden from us and for what ? Did you think you could just wait till we all had died before we would find out the truth, and you would not have to explain yourself ?    ---   I do not want you here now, Floki. Leave. ❞
