@thistlewoods asked:

“Who… Are you?”

Hel quickly turned her head to the other woman. She had been lost in the muddied water of her own thoughts and only then realised she was not alone.

"I.. erhm.. Hello?" She was a bit caught off guard by the impetuousness of Zoe's approach. And she didn't bother to hide her apprehension. "Who are you to ask that?"

🎄 — favorite holiday(s)?

MUNDAY  ASKS !

accepting @thistlewoods

I'm not a big holiday person, so I suppose any holiday that gets me off of work. So Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, dad makes a good home-cooked meal on those holidays, so there is that. Halloween is the most fun.

        “why make them in private when i could scandalize a nation?”

@thistlewoods asked:

“I’d keep you safe.”

"Should be easy," Hel laughed but it was a tired, sad kind of laugh, "I don't have the greatest measure for what is unsafe. I cannot die so everything short is just an inconvenience, not a cause for fear. The better question is, why would you want to?"

[helreginn]

@thistlewoods asked:

"Let's go home."

Hel was sopping. Down to her socks. She'd been out there so long even her bones were cold. "I want to stay," she murmured quietly, barely audible over the rain. "I like it out here."

She didn't. But at least the rain made it harder to see that she was crying...

Slowly, she turned her head to look at the other woman. Far more concern for her friend than herself. "Aren't you cold?"

❛  don't be afraid. i'm a friend.  ❜

All caution instantly thrown to the wind, it takes only those six words to win Tempest's trust. "Oh, thank goodness. Hi, my name is Tempest, sorry I screamed, I was just a little startled. I don't usually scream at new friends, I promise!"

THE SKY THAT @thistlewoods LOOKS UP TO IS CRISP & CLEAR. on the cusp of a sunset, a beautiful orange - hue. though, HOUSTON keeps his eyes awkwardly fixated on her face as he speaks. searching for something in her expression. he has never been remarkable at reading people, nor would he say that he takes pride in his ability to. but, he puts in the effort on account of the sensitivity of the topic at hand. thinking that if they didn't want to be speaking on it, their expression would give way to some discomfort. ❝ that's an awful vague statement. ❞ giving him no leeway to understand the things that she had been through.

perhaps, she doesn't want to go into detail. the thought isn't something that hadn't crossed his mind, of course he has the decency to think when someone is being purposefully vague. the silence hangs thick in the air after her statement; only to be cut swiftly by his response. his tone isn't anywhere near as caring, or soft as he wished it could be. he'd seen a lot of awful things in his life. getting himself to speak empathetically about the most gruesome of topic was something to be worked on. ❝ what did happen to you back then . . . ? ❞ it comes out with more grace, more hesitance. the lingering doubt that he shouldn't have asked the question, but he so deeply wants to listen to her worries. he asked her to speak as if no one was there. & yet, here he was: the ready listener.
