Just found out that there was someone called Charlotte Corday irl, a figure during the french revolution, and I‘m not too into lop lore yet, but like. She was the daughter of a minor noble family, part of the revolution and sympathizing with the more moderate groups and she murdered someone she believed to be responsible for the september massacres, which is how she got the nickname ‚Angel of Assassination‘. I don‘t exactly see any parallels between her and the Cordays from the game though? Their motivations for killing were different? But could it be that she was the inspo for at least the names?

Chapter 9: Pasta

Stephen rarely cooked in his kitchen. It was less due to a lack of time - between his work as a doctor and surgeon he had enough of that and his free time was mostly filled with reading. He simply lacked motivation to cook for just himself. Mostly he picked up take out on his way home after work or made use of convenience food. It was efficient, even if it wasn't the most healthy option.

Today was one of those rare exceptions. It was a day off and he got groceries earlier today, stocking his fridge.

He cut chicken while waiting for a pot of water to boil. The music of a playlist on shuffle was playing softly in the background.

Since the incident at the docks and his last conversation with Tony in his doctor's office, several days had passed in which he had neither seen nor heard anything from the FBI or Stark. He had calmed down enough to be rational about what happened. He doubted that he had dropped off the radar of either opposing group. In fact, since he had started paying attention to his surroundings while being out on the streets, he noticed a car following him. Sometimes they parked on the other side of the street when he looked out of his apartment‘s window. Then he spotted the same car with the same plate on the hospital‘s parking space. Then again on the highway, slightly behind him.

He didn‘t know if it was the FBI keeping an eye on him, trying to understand his relationship to Stark. Hell, even Stephen didn‘t know what kind of relationship they had. But he didn‘t deny any longer that he wasn‘t all hot and bothered by Stark and his antics.

Maybe the car keeping tabs on him belonged to Stark‘s men, trying to make sure he was safe. Maybe it was a third Party Stephen haven‘t met yet.

He had been concerned for two days after noticing the car. But since nobody approached him, tried to coax him into anything or arrest him, he simply stopped worrying. Still he took a photo of it, whenever he had the opportunity for it and a free hand – so not while driving. The car’s windows were tinted. No matter how much he tried to zoom into the photos, he didn’t see any faces.

Stephen set the chicken aside and cut the onion next. He did this with precision, like performing surgery. He tried not to breathe through his nose, so his eyes wouldn't water with tears. The knife in one hand, the other hand pressing the halved onion onto the cutting board, he cut first fine slices and then cubes.

He was so absorbed in his work that he did not hear the knock on the door until it was repeated louder. Frowning, he peered through the peephole and was surprised to discover Tony staring at him impatiently, as if he knew full well that Stephen was just on the other side of the barrier.

Stephen opened the door, but before he could ask the other man why he was here, Tony stepped past him into his apartment.

“You’re more difficult to meet than some mafia heads I know. You’ve quite the shadow on your tail.”

That confirmed Stephen's suspicion that the car following him belonged to the FBI. Tony told him he would find a way so they wouldn't be seen together and apparently he had succeeded. A Stark kept his word.

Curious, Tony looked around his apartment and noticed the music and his preparations in the kitchen. "You're making dinner?"

"Pasta."

Tony's face lit up when he mentioned it. It has been a while since he had had good pasta and his Italian heart congratulated him for picking today of all days to visit Strange. "Awesome. What kind of pasta?" But when he saw Stephen's blank face, his hopes sank for a good meal. And one look into Stephen's kitchen confirmed his fears. The water in the pot was finally boiling, waiting to cook the pasta, while the sauce was still spread in its separate components on the counter. Tony knew he had to step in before this ended in a disaster.

"Okay, move over. I'm making the sauce. You're not ruining this. What did your Mamma even teach you growing up in Nebraska?"

"Hey-" Stephen started his protest, but Tony stopped him right there with an uplifted hand.

"No! Silencio." He glanced at the meat and onions. "You can cut the vegetables."

And with that the kitchen was now Tony Stark's declared territory. First he turned the boiling water down to a lower setting so it was just simmering. Then he looked in the fridge and pushed more ingredients into Stephen's hands: carrots and peppers. He would have preferred more shallots or tomatoes, but he had to make do with what he found.

Afterwards he raided the cabinets.

"Where's your oregano?"

"I don't think I have that."

Tony threw his hands up in the air, defeated, muttering something that was very likely some Italian curse words. "How do you even enjoy your meals without any real spices?"

Somehow Stephen figured that mentioning he had salt and pepper and that it was enough for seasoning, would only make it worse. But Tony didn't seem to expect an actual answer, because he had already turned to the stove.

It should annoy Stephen. It should annoy him how Tony just entered his apartment, his home, as if he belonged here. The way he talked to Stephen, complaining about his supplies in the kitchen.

But Stephen wasn’t annoyed. There way something playful in their banter. Stephen had met Tony with his guards up, full of mistrust and calculating power. Now he moved so carefree in Stephen's kitchen, searching the cupboards for olive oil – it was a sign of trust and it warmed Stephen's heart.

They worked in a comfortable silence. While Stephen cut the vegetables, Tony put a pan on the stove and fried a spoonful of butter. He was clearly more in his element than Stephen, his every move confident and purposeful. He seasoned the tomato sauce with whatever he had on hand.

It was getting warm in the kitchen under the simmering of the sauce and pasta and the gentle roasting of the vegetables. Tony had taken his jacket off. He undid his cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves, and Stephen couldn't help but admire the movement of his muscles. The tanned skin of his muscular forearms contrasted with his crisp white button up, the top three buttons undone. It hugged him tightly and it was not hard to imagine what was underneath.

He looked all the way like an exotic model. Stephen wondered if he was as feisty in bed. He shook his head and concentrated on pulling out plates and cutlery.

He placed them on the table and went to get some red wine while Tony was serving. He took the wine bottle from Stephen's hand when he returned and examined the label critically. Nodding, the choice met his approval and he handed the bottle back to him.

"Well, then. Go on and dazzle me, farm boy" Tony said while slipping into his seat.

Stephen huffed at that nickname but poured them each a glass and then sat on the opposite side. It really felt like an actual date. The lights were dimmed, soft music still reached her ears from the kitchen. All that was missing was a lit candle on the table to complete the ambiance.

Stephen reached for his silverware. "How was your day, darling?" he asked sarcastically, wanting to see how Stark responded. He dipped his spoon into the food. After the first bite, he was sure that was the damned best pasta he ever had.

Tony chuckled, but his eyes took on a different expression at this term of endearment. Something Stephen couldn't interpret. "A lot of meetings. Very boring. But no talking business during dinner. It spoils the food."

That was fair.

"How's the kid doing? Peter." Stephen hadn't seen the boy since he'd shown up at the hospital with the bloody lip. And even though Peter had assured him that his injuries had been an exception, it would still reassure Stephen to know that he was okay and, more importantly, that he was alive.

Tony gave him a scrutinizing glance. He was always careful when it came to the boy. Stephen had no idea if Peter had told him that he had been to the doctor. But he couldn't imagine that the boy managed to keep his busted lip and the black eye a secret from Tony for long. On the other hand, their relationship was still a mystery to him.

"He's doing fine," Tony finally said. "He got into the college of his choice and wants to move out when it starts."

"And?" Stephen asked, because something in Tony's voice told him that he disapproved.

"That's way too dangerous. You saw my line of work. He'll be vulnerable if he's on his own." Tony stabbed a farfalle with his spoon. Somehow they were talking business now anyway, but presumably these two aspects - family and business - were inseparable in the life of a Stark.

"How was it for you when you were in college?" Howard Stark had been as infamous back then as Tony was these days. So the situation was quite similar.

"That's different," Tony objected. "My best friend was military trained and my father agreed to make him my bodyguard in our second semester."

Stephen raised his eyebrow. "And you think you befriended him by chance? No meddling of your parents involved?"

Tony's eyes shot up at him. "He was my roommate. A student, not a..." He stopped, actually thinking about how fast he became friends with Rhodey. How Rhodey was somehow always at his side, took part in all his stupid ideas. And Tony had a lot of stupid ideas back in his college days.

He felt like he was having a stroke and put his spoon down. "I need to make a call..."

"What happened to no business during dinner?" Stephen asked with a chuckle.

Tony gave him a dirty look – which Stephen didn't take seriously – and stepped outside for a moment, while the doctor continued eating unperturbed.

He could only imagine that it was not easy for Peter to be a protégé of someone with the influence of Tony Stark. He wondered if Tony had felt the same way with his father back then. What was it like for a child to grow up in an environment of guns and violence?

He heard muffled Italian curses from next door.

After a few minutes, Tony returned, still a scowl on his face. He put his phone down on the table, but didn’t return to his seat. "I can't believe I never saw that."

Stephen hoped he hadn't sealed the poor guy's fate. But Tony's attention was already back on something else: him.

"I've lost my appetite for pasta. How about we switch to dessert?" Tony’s eyes were hungry, his voice dropped low. Stephen returned the look, and without averting his eyes, he reached for his wine glass to empty it. Then he stood up.

“Let me give you a tour of my apartment: couch, table, kitchen counter,” he pointed at all the things he listed and walked towards the doors, “bathroom with a shower, bedroom… with a bed.”

It wasn’t lost on Tony, what kind of things the doctor listed. He had followed him to the bedroom door, right up in his personal space. There was a whole apartment for the two of them to be in and yet they both were in this small space that would normally satisfy one person.

Tony smiled as he crushed their hips together and moved his against Stephen's – slow and easy – Strange's eyes rolled in back of his head at how fucking good it felt, how bad he's been aching for this.

"I know you want this as much as I do. I can see it in you every time we're in the same room. You want me to make you feel good. And I can," Stark's eyes were dark brown and sincere, "I will."

Stark's words were like liquid lead in Strange's veins, made his body sizzle and push against Stark's hardening dick, made him pant and squeeze his eyes shut when the world spun around him so quickly he went dizzy.

They kissed – finally. Stephen leaned in, a needy noise coming from the back of his throat as Tony’s talented tongue worked its heady magic on him. He could feel the temperature of his skin rise. Everything became a blur. Everything became a need.

They stumbled to the bed, leaving a trail of clothes on the floor until they were fully naked. For all they had danced around each other these past weeks, they now moved at a rapid speed. Like sparkles that were suddenly on fire, burning high and fast.

Tony was nothing if not insistent, demanding, passionate. There was no question, no hesitation, no uncertainty in the way he pulled at Stephen’s collar, roughly pulling their lips together, fingers dragging all along his back.

He licked a strip up the doctor’s throat. Stephen’s breath hitched. He could feel the warm blood pulsing under Stephen’s skin as he grazed his teeth against it. Tony bit into the underside of his jaw and sucked on a mark. A whine left Stephen’s lips, wanting to feel more of him. His hips grind against Tony’s and without even thinking his fingers clawed into his dark hair.

Tony moaned, following Stephen’s movement by putting his head back in his neck.

Then Tony’s mouth went dry when Stephen’s gaze sharpened, and suddenly Stephen was pushing Tony down by on the mattress, gentle but insistent. Tony allowed it, the smirk cutting off in exchange for another moan and shivers all over as Stephen climbed onto the bed over him. He ran elegant hands all over Tony like he couldn’t decide where to start. The glide of warm skin against Tony’s bare chest was intoxicating and he arched into the touch, groaning at the caress of his ribs and gasping when thumbs trace the edges of his nipples.

Stephen chased the lines of Tony’s tattoos with his lips, nipping at their edges, trying to burn them into his memory. Some of them were more sharp, the ink not as long under the skin as others, that began to bleed out. The one on Tony’s chest was his favorite, he decided, even if he didn’t know what those blue lines and symbols meant. He noticed that it concealed a scar that lay underneath, a deep pattern of uneven skin that looked like somebody tried to punch his rib cage open, ripping his heart out.

Stephen had enough medical knowledge to know how deep that wound must have been.

Tony demanded his attention again, cupped his face and pulled him up to seal their lips in another kiss. It was a distraction to turn them and now he was straddling Stephen's hips.

"Lube?"

"Drawer." Stephen turned and fetched the requested item himself. It wasn't so easy with the weight of Tony on his lap, who refused to let go of him. He pushed the small bottle into Tony's hands, but was surprised when Tony grabbed Stephen's hand and spread lube over his fingers.

“Open me up.”

Stephen looked at him in awe.

People feared and envied this man. He was untouchable, not afraid to take what he wanted. Yet when Stephen pushed his first finger into him, he moaned in pleasure, throwing his head back. Stephen’s long, skilled finger worked him open, a second and a third following soon.

Tony hummed approvingly, bucking his hips as Stephen slowly and methodically moved his digit against him, peppering tickling kisses over his collarbone and throat. “You look gorgeous,” he muttered against the tanned skin. “If anyone could see you now.”

“Shut up, Strange,” Tony growled as he lifted his head and sucked Stephen’s lower lip into his mouth.

Stephen did shut up as he was a little preoccupied with his mouth again. He withdrew his fingers and clawed them into Tony’s hips.

Tony was still in charge. He lifted himself ab and onto Stephen’s throbbing cock with one fluid motion. The stretch and heat of it had him gasping, arching his back just right so he really felt it.

Stephen’s eyes followed his every movement, intrigued, then moaning. Feeling Tony around him lit up every nerve in his body.

They moved, with each other, against each other. Their hands were on every inch of skin they could find: shoulders, arms, back, tights, hips.

Tony panted and said things he wasn’t quite aware of, mostly Italian words. Their lips were teasing, incapable of closing that final distance. Moans and groans filled the room and then Tony yelled. There was a flash of white behind his eyelids as his orgasm hit him and he pulsed and shuddered his way to completion.

Stephen was thrusting his hips harder now as his head pushed into the crook of Tony’s neck and then he too was coming.

They sat entwined together, sticky and heaving chests as they tried to regain the oxygen that had been lost from their bodies at their pleasure.

Stephen eventually rolled him off and lay at his side, one arm covering his eyes and breathing deeply.

Tony watched his chest rise and fall as Stephen’s chest moved upwards. They lay that way in silence for a while, Stephen hiding behind his arm and Tony watching him, his eyelids dropping tiredly over his eyes every now and again.

"Stay here tonight," Stephen half ordered, half asks. He didn’t know if Tony meant this to be a one time thing but hoped it wasn’t. Or even if it was, that he could play pretend until morning rose and the light showed the truce.

Tony didn’t reply, but he didn’t move away either and that was answer enough.

It wasn't long before they both fell asleep exhausted.

Viserys‘s letter

"Though time and circumstance have seen us estranged, know that it is not my desire to see you fail in your cause. It is instead my hope that this aid will deliver the victory that has thus far evaded us."

So I have talked about this in tags before, but I wanted to put it here as an individual post, too, because I didn‘t see many people talk about this, some even being confused by Daemon‘s harsh reaction to receiving the letter. And I know we all love to joke about Daemon‘s primary motivation being spite (and it is definitely true to some extent) — but with Viserys‘s letter the situation is a little different.

Because this letter really was a solid slap in the face.

(book-spoiler free, haven‘t read the book myself yet)

I‘m sure Viserys only has good intentions (he says so himself and we got to believe him there, that he just wants the best for Daemon and prays for him to return safely). But for Daemon this letter must feel like the biggest provocation imaginable. For three whole years, Daemon has fought in the Stepstones, risking his life every single day just to prove himself to the world and to his brother. For three whole years, Viserys didn‘t care to write (that we know of), didn‘t send any help prior to this, probably didn‘t invite Daemon for his wedding or his son‘s birthday, first and second nameday, didn‘t send a fucking christmas present. Daemon‘s major drive to fight in the first place was that he felt neglected and forgotten, especially by his brother, and despite all his efforts, Viserys just ignores him further. (Yes, Viserys had his own battles to fight at court, facing manipulation from all sides there, but that is none of Daemon‘s business, so quite frankly: why should he care?). And then when Viserys finally writes, it‘s a declaration of aid. Not even an offering — he doesn‘t ask Daemon (or Corlys) if they NEED help, no, he has decided to provide it himself, because he sees all of Daemon‘s efforts of three years as a 'fail in his cause', and that helping him would be the only way for them to achieve victory. It‘s hard to imagine how devastating that must feel for Daemon, after having spent so much time, being exhausted and wounded and fucking terrified, all to get just the tiniest bit of appreciation from his brother. And then he gets this. The first notice after three years. A reminder of his failure.

And then there is Daemon‘s reputation on the line. Yes, we know Daemon doesn‘t mind his reputation involving one or two scanals, but Viserys‘s offer would make him lose way more than just his good name. As impressive as it is that Daemon (and Corlys) could motivate their men for so long in the first place (they too risked a lot following two people without the king‘s leave into battle, knowing that they probably can‘t expect any form of support from the crown, and yet they stayed and fought, seeing so many or their people die in a seemingly hopeless war), but now they have grown weary. So by the start of the episode we see their resentmemt, as they challenge Daemon‘s qualities as a leader. After these years of having no end in sight, word spreads more and more that to follow Daemon might not be the best choice. Accepting Viserys‘s offer to help him, would only prove that he is just what his men accuse him to be. An incompetent leader that can only win with the help of his brother, the king. A weak warrior that overestimates his own strength and wit, and thus failed tremendously. And above that, what would the people in the kingdom say? How would they perceive him afterwards? The king‘s disappointment of a brother. His claim as heir of anything shredded forever. The embarrassment of the family.

Viserys wanted Daemon to not risk his life any further, but by sending this letter he actually forced him to do just the opposite. Because the consequences for giving in to his brother would be a way bigger loss for Daemon than dying honourably in a one-man suicide mission on the battlefield.

when I started out with giffing I watched all their documentaries because I’m a sucker for pretty cinematic shots. I really liked the colours in this shot (my favourite colour is green and I also like his lilac rings) but of course also Tae’s pretty, pretty hands.

Depends really. I haven’t seen that many around actually. If I could help someone out by reblogging it, then I’d definitely do it.

YES YES YES! More than tag games I think!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Okay, in my heart, you’re all superstars.

not to add more to this but i need to vent a bit? the situation is definitely different bc with your major it obviously requires for you to ya know, know english lol, but uhm bc i’m homeschooled ive been cheating on all my work SHSHDHSJ like i google the answers but i’m still learning! it’s just..... i find it so unnecessary, like going for an audition no one is gonna say to me “i want you to chanel the knowledge within yourself of the centripetal force of the circle that is the table on this stage” like tf??? there’s literally no point. i’m gonna be getting into voice lessons again soon and i’m already doing dance, AND i’ll be doing this summer camp program (more hamilton lol) and thinking about school is only making me stress more, like i haven’t been able to rehearse dance at all this week bc of it...... so

hahaha reading your tags, lonely anon would still be accurate HAHAHHAHA // another add: yea i love ur current theme, i’ve gotten used to “seeing you” like this, but anything will look super pretty :)) ALSO HOW IS IT STILL SNOWING THERE, i swear it’s getting warmer and warmer by the day here 😭🤧

these long ass posts, my gosh🥲 lonely lovely anon <3

Omg yes it does feel like a letter sldkdj and then the few days of waiting also make more sense okay i love this ❣️💕❤️💓❤️💞🧡💜💘(wtf)sksjhz

Dear lovely anon,

ALSKSJVKD yes i‘m liking falcon and winter soldier dlkdh i haven‘t watched the second episode yet but i‘ll watch it tomorrow! but i didn‘t watch wandavision........ eidislskks i was going to but idk i wasn‘t that interested in it and watching series is already too much of a commitment (what can i say i‘m a Sagittarius—🤧 (no i’m joking i actually know NOTHING about starsigns)) didjj that i couldn‘t force myself to watch it, ALSO i hate (idk if this is an unpopular opinion) when every episode is like a whole hour. i‘m rewatching an old series today (it‘s german so i won‘t even get into it) and the episodes are 25 mins each and i‘ve already watched 8 episodes today ridlndjdjd,,, and i feel like if the episodes were an hour each i wouldn‘t have gotten past episode 2 today like idk.... even if series had the same length in total, i prefer when the individual episodes are shorter idk why tho tbh (so yeah i already wasn‘t 100% convinced about watching wandavision so i just couldn’t make myself watch a bunch of 1hour episodes— i‘ve heard that it‘s good tho- but i‘m not much of a series person so. Dldkk (have we talked about this already??? sorry i don‘t remember what i said lol and i couldn‘t find my own post anymore so dkdjsh) (WAIT I JUST CHECKED THE WANDAVISION EPIOSRDES ARENT EVEN THAT LONG??? Okay wait i might watch it now - did you like it? let me know if i should watch it— why did i think they were 60minutes???)

okay another confession i‘ve never watched the lion king????? i mean i watched it when i was a child but i was too young to actually pay attention to any kind of plot i just liked the songs lol sldkdj i‘ve been meaning to watch it for years tho 🦁 (idk it just felt appropriate to put a lion emoji lmoaoo)

OH MY GOD THE CHAIS WALKING/CINEMA STORY AHSJSKKS😭😭😭😭 NOOOOO (very fitting that there was so much chaos when you were watching a film that has chaos in the title loool) and the “awkward awkward awkward“ SAME SKSKSLSKDJ, that‘s literally me 24/7 ahajshshhshshsh. Like i was so skdjdjdkdllsldksnsnsnsb while i read what you sent me djslslsjdjdbdn why are old ladies always so grumpy btw 🥲🥲🥲 at least the man was nice tho! and wait did i read that right... you have fries (which, to me, are called chips dusuusldk) at your cinemas?? (Movie theatres sorry sksjsh) we just have popcorn and nachos and drinks i want chips too when i‘m watching a film what😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺

Also i still haven’t watched it so thanks for not spoiling it!!! (idk when i’ll watch it i’m so bad with films and even worse with series💀💀💀- same with cherry. i literally forgot all about cherry, i was SO hyped when the trailer came out like i’ve never been so excited about a movie... and then it came out... and i still haven‘t watch it like what‘s wrong with me???? Dkdjdjdjdklsl i feel like i‘m not gonna watch it anytime soon tbh, but i wanna watch chaos walking i just have to find the time

Okay and @ your other friend who wasn‘t paying attention like why are you even watching the film then???? but ok (omg this sounds so mean i‘m sure she‘s very nice but in this situation just like❔❔❔)

SIMS ahhh, BUNK BEDS, ahhhh sdljdjdjdkdkdldksj i actually haven‘t played it since the update 🤧🤧 i made both of my sims (enisa (bestselling author already, thank you) and michael (aspiring doctor)) go to university and bro it takes so long 😭😭 and you can‘t do anything else if you want them to do well so literally the last three times i played sims i was just constantly clicking their homework and computerd to write their assignments (i play it in german so idk what its called on the sims) and do their presentations and do them all over again so that they get better or whatever for HOURS, but imma play again soon

also i‘m living my fanfiction life loool, so i made my two sims neighbours (on the same plot tho but i made two small separate houses lol, i still wanted to control both of them at the same time but i made sure they didn‘t interact before i wanted them to skdjdjdk). and first they both experimented and got some experience in the love department you know (all genders, cause i have to live my sexuality even in a pc game slskdjh— wait, i‘ve never lived my sexuality irl like i‘ve done NOTHING nothing with guys nothing with girls (🥲) but maybe that’s why i want to do it even more in the sims) and then they met at uni and realised like hey we‘re neighbours and now they‘re together (but michael accidentally had an alien baby with another woman (who was an alien which i was not aware of) cause i wasn‘t paying attention like i said woohoo not try for baby like michael why is your pull out game so weak tf LSHDDHDJDJSKKDKSKDKS okay but making out and flirting and doing all the fun stuff in the sims turns me on way more than it should PFAHAHHAHSH) so idk why i told you this but I’m creating that neighbour!au in the sims lmaoooo

i did not have to google Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsübertragungsaufgabengesetz (just did it again😌 sisjshhs) but i might have mixed up the words überwachung und übertragung or i might have even forgotten a word skskks but in the end it doesn‘t matter (by linkin park- ok i‘m so sorry it‘s 2 am and i have a headache from having waveformers in my hair all day but i still wanted to reply to this now so sorry if i‘m not making any sense right nowbahahshah)

i wanted to be a mermaid too dldjdksksj like h2O and all those series convinced me i could be one like. i remember i‘d always go in the deep pool and attempt to swim like them in all the series with that wave motion i must have looked so crazy with my goggles as well dkdjsksöksj (i was like twelve but still)

so mgk has two sides one is hip hop/rap which is like ~~~~ idk he has good and bad songs, but his latest album is like punk pop snd I LOVE IT SO SO SO SO SO MUCH, so if you like punk pop I’d recommend his album tickets to my downfall (i don‘t blame yoj if you don‘t like it tho like about a year ago i would have HATED that type of music dkdkdkkd)🥴

Okay talking about music, there‘s this german rapper and he is... not a good person. he‘s literally a criminal and extremely sexist but to me he‘s still hot???????? he‘s even cute at times even tho he has tattoos everywhere and is like 6‘5 and is super aggressive but i see him and i‘m like 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 my heart beats only for you💘💘💘💘and he released a new song today and i watched the video and i‘m wondering wtf is wrong with me 😃 (he did look particularly cute cause he was high so idk he wasn’t really aggressive in this one) 😭 so i thought i‘d share that LMAO IDK

(not saying tattoos aren‘t cute btw i LOVE tattoos imma get some soon, but you know he looks like someone your grandma would be afraid of (and in his case rightfully so💀)

okay wait i‘m getting so tired it‘s 2 am i think i‘ll have to do the rest tomorrow but i wanted to do it now😭🥺🥺 see you tomorrow

it is now 3:42 am and i couldn‘t sleep so here we go again

girl you can laugh at me for liking justin tho skskks i wanna laugh at myself idk, like i said i really really really liked him a few years go, basically my life was at least 50% justin and then he went on a break for a while and released an album last year which i hated 🥴 but this album is wow. (Still weird to me because it‘s literally the definition of pop and i don‘t ever listen to pop?) and it‘s so weird because i used to know so much about justin and had so many friends who loved him as well and now it‘s like I’m listening to someone new? Don‘t get me wrong i never KNEW justin and i never will and i‘m aware of that shahsh but yeah i used to be soooo used to him and it‘s like reconnecting with an old friend and you realise you don‘t know that friend anymore- like you don‘t know them anymore at all. I mean justin is weird nowadays 😂😂😂 so pls laugh at me tbh dskksjsjsh

awww it‘s so wholesome that you gave your mom tickets to the concert 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i gave my mum tickets for pink like 2 years ago and she loved it so much and i was like 🥰🥰🥰 (i went with her) AND OMG GLEE ok so unfortunately i barely remember glee, but i used to watch it too!!!! And it‘s actually on my list of series i wanna watch (again) so youre making me want to watch it even more (but like i said i‘m bad with series so 😩😩😩 who knows when i‘ll rewatch it)

When all this pandemic shit is over (let‘s be hopeful <3333) then you need to go to as many concerts as possible!!!!! i‘ve been to SO MANY and it‘s literally one of the things in my life i‘m the most grateful for, concerts are some of the best experiences i‘ve ever had in my life especially the ones that are in smaller concert halls where you can feeeel the vibe and everyone‘s energy (and that sounds awful thinking about it mid-pandemic 😐) anyway—

Okay omg you‘re absolutely making me want to watch hamilton right now like omg i WANT TO WATCH IT NOW but it‘s 4 am sodndkdldl

what you said about my peter fics🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺like omg i love these emojis they literally just describe how i felt when reading what you said so, yes, 🥰🥺 + thank you :) it really means a lot <3

and no omg i totally get the studying thing. like last year before i graduated .. was that last year? yes wtf omg okaykdjdj, so the last three months before i had my final exams we were just in a lockdown and we didn‘t even have online classes. We had nothing except one teacher who left our group chat (😭) because she was mad at us (?) and one maths teacher who did an online ““lesson““ once a week. he‘d ask: so does anyone have questions. us: . Him: okay, bye then. So. Yeah dndldldj. But we had one online test and it was in german and like i read the book wee were supposed to read? but the questions on the test were all unanswerable (is that a word?) and i had to google everything (got an A tho 🤪 but only because i googled everything so i was so scared that i wouldn‘t be able to get a good result on the final exam because what if i‘d gotten used to just googling everything and i couldn‘t do it by myself anymore? anyway it was all fine in the end but yeah at times i couldn‘t even study because i had so much anxiety about studying and yeah- like this whole annoying cycle. but you said you‘re still studying———- okay wait 👁👄👁 i forgot what i was going to say??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Like wtf. Is wrong with me? And i‘m reading what you wrote again and i just don‘t know what i was going to say? Like i get what you‘re saying obviously but i‘m like? Idk 4am brain ayeee, please vent more if you need to and elaborate further because right now i‘m???? Too dumb to respond to this right now wtf. I‘m so sorry lmao ddlkdjdjd what is even going on like i‘m sitting here open mouthed just like ? But btw the fact that you have Voice and dance lessons is like SO FUCKING COOL like oh my god that is sosososos cool wtf, i was thinking that when you first talked about it too

And “i want you to chanel the knowledge within yourself of the centripetal force of the circle that is the table on this stage” ODHDKSLDBDJDOFIDKDNDLDK

Yes i know about the weather dkdkdkjd but it‘s getting (a lot) warmer here too and where i live we kind of get a weird type of wind called föhn (which literally means hair dryer but idk if that‘d the reason why it‘s called that, i‘m too tired to think of whether it makes sense rn) and it gives me headachesssssss and the changing weather is also giving me headaches 😭😭😭😭 so this season right now is just headache season and i hate summer so i wish it would just snow again lmao (okay it‘s getting so late that it‘s early already snd i can hear this bird chirping so fucking loud wtf i‘m also getting a headache 🤧🤧🤧) but at least i can do my new theme soon (i hope it‘ll look good🥺 and omg thank you for what you said about my current theme- i always feel like i‘m so bad with aesthetics, i obviously like my theme but i feel like every single person on tumblr has a theme that is prettier than mine so it was very nice to hear you say that you love it👉🏼👈🏼 (i‘m so used to it by now that i actually hate it lmao so it‘s getting yeeted soon and i‘m making megan thee stallion my pfp 🤪 (if the graphics and shit works out skdjdjdj)

A really good brownie or popcorn from the movies

Again, i won’t be tagging anyone specifically. If you come across this and want to do it, please do!! I‘d love to know more about anyone💗

[colaismywater]

Character tag:

I was tagged by the lovely @wizzardhowl 💜 thank you, dear!

I made this a mixed fandom version, but I guess it‘s your own choice what make out of it and you can surely do a single fandom one.

And I‘m tagging @yessiloveslink @besidemethewholedamntime @apathbacktoyou @typosandteabags @asmalltolkien Have fun!

1. The first character I first fell in love with:

Ah, I even found the exact scene when I fell for Han Solo. It was 20 years ago, and I still love him. I also have characters I loved longer, but it wasn’t the same kind of love. Star Wars made me a fan. Not just a little girl that enjoyed a movie, but a fan. And Han and Leia took a major part in this. But I only realized my intense love for Leia some time later so, I guess Han counts as a first love.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

This dork. I remember when I first read Naruto, I stopped during the Chunin exams, because Lee and Gai appeared and in my stupid youthful years, they seemed to be such big idiots. But after I started rereading Naruto, I came to love Gai and Lee. But since Gai is a little weirder than Lee, and I immediately fell for Lee during the reread, I think it‘s more fitting to put Gai on here.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't:

This wasn’t easy, since nobody came to my mind and then, it suddenly hit me. Frieza. I get that he does have some funny moments, but I simply don‘t know why people love him so much. It‘s a mystery to me. There was even a girl in my ridiculous small hometown that cosplayed him (I saw her on the bus, by the way). I just don‘t get it. 🤷‍♀️

4. The character I love that everyone else hates:

Guy Secretan. I get why people hate him. I also get why people love him. Green Wing gave me solace in dark times and Guy is always good for a laugh. Even if I‘m shipping Caromac since years, I like his relationship with Caroline as well. Not to mention his relationship with Sue. They are brilliant. Yes, he can be too much, but as I said, I get why people dislike or hate him.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer:

Wataru Takagi. I still like him, but it isn‘t love anymore. I‘m sorry, babe. You are lovely, but there are characters that have personalities that are more appealing to me.

6. The character I would shag anytime:

He just came to my mind. He‘s hot. And after Endgame with Steve picking Peggy, he‘s single now, isn‘t he? 😎

7. The character I'd want to be like:

Carol Peletier, I guess. I admire her. Even if I haven‘t seen the last seasons, I‘m still quite fond of her. She‘s been through so much, and yet she still gets stronger everytime. She is also funny and a good friend. (By the way, since when is it so hard to find a gif of her without that ugly wig?!)

8. The character I'd slap:

Ross Gellar. Anytime. Also his crappy parents. Even if his father tried to redeem himself. But still.

9. A pairing I love:

These two are perfect together. I love Clintasha. Breaking them up for a shit ass reason is one of the things I will always hate Joss Whedon for.

„I wanted to show that women and men can just be friends.“ 🤢

You could have done that with the four (FOUR!) other guys of the original Avengers and Nat! Instead of destroying the relationship with the most chemistry?!?!?! (After all the sexual tension between Tony and Steve in the first Avengers movie, of course.)

Fuck you, Joss Whedon.⏳🏹

10. A pairing I despise:

Brutasha. I see that it‘s a possibility, but to be honest, I don‘t get it. I simply don‘t get it.

•••

(By the way, after I did this, I would recommend doing a single fandom one, it’s easier.)

¡Vamos a España! - Chap 29

Chapter 29

After dinner, Gerda was the only friend, that stood back late to keep Rollan and the troll cubs company. Rollan and Gerda sat together on the bed watching the cubs play along with Luta a card game, Rollan had taught them a while ago during the trip to Europe.

„Last hour we spent the time playing tag with each other during the parkour. One of us had to act as a criminal fleeing and the second person had to pursue the person during the obstacles. Lieutenant Roberto had randomly mixed up people so it would be each time different. Everyone would have a different way of leading us to a wrong situation or simply trick us to fail,“ Rollan told the girlfriend.

„That sounds like a great way to practice for the outside. You had mentioned the other day you had similar situations when you ran behind a criminal out in the city,“

„It‘s actually quite helpful. You get used to it and begin to capture a faster way to overcome the obstacle,“ Rollan commented. „Next month we are going with Roberto to a ranch to see ponies. The ones who are interested can adopt one and it will stay in another place so we can train with it together for the future when we become actual guards or better said we got the full formation,“

„And you‘re going to take this opportunity or is it mandatory?“

„It‘s more mandatory if you‘re going to work for the king as far I remember. I‘m most likely interested in staying here on the town or any other one for that matter to work and finish the education,“

„And you‘re still planning to come back to us after all this?“ Questioned Gerda making the boyfriend nod.

„It will take a little long, but I‘m trying to make sure my mom gets out of the debts and I can go back to you when I‘ve got enough money to pay for the way back,“

„And is your mother going to stay here alone?“ Questioned Gerda making Rollan shrug his shoulders.

„Yes…...oh…..okay this is now bad. I…..I haven‘t really thought about that. I….just wanted to help her pay the debts, so she wouldn‘t lose her house. I got used to the life out from here, I haven‘t actually thought about how lonely my mother is now since I left,“ Rollan confessed. „Before I actually thought about it, but I didn‘t realize it was actually bad,“

„I think something that is good about this, is that your mother knows you‘re independent now and you have people there looking for you,“ Gerda stated placing her hand on her boyfriend‘s leg,“

„I have to think about a way on how I will be more often around mama, while I‘m also back with you and the rest…..you know….our plans of the future are also in this game and I don‘t want to have a hard choice between my two most important persons,“ Rollan admitted placing his hand over Gerda‘s hand making her smile angelic at his confession.

„You know I have an idea, that could fix this problem, it‘s just a matter of habituation, mostly for your mother. What do you think she would say if she would leave Spain with you and live somewhere near us?“ Suggested Gerda. „You could arrange a place for the two of you and we all would be able to see each other more often than usual,“

„For that, I would as well need to find a job there too and…...before we would be really bothering with us overnighting somewhere until we find a place to get a job….mostly me of course,“

„Yes I assume you have to…..but you know Alfida works for the king and he knows you well or he knows, that I know you well. When he sees you made the education here you could most likely get there a job or at least be one of the guards on the outside of the kingdom,“

„I could give it a try,“ Rollan replied, then leaned her head on his shoulder moving her hands up to Rollan‘s arm to embrace it, getting Rollan to feel enamored at her deed. „You know I don‘t think I have asked you anything, „

„What exactly?“

„Like how your day was,“ Rollan explained. „I think I only talked about what was up today,“

„We didn‘t do a lot today. After we took your friend the book away Kai and I walked along the town together and after midday, we returned to the ship, and Orm and I played domino the entire evening while Kai and Alfida went to the library or somewhere else….They have borrowed from the library a book Orm had thrown off-board mistaking it for one of those books, which were some sort of satires I think. I don‘t remember, but he somehow mistook it for something else,“

„Must have been an odd book or well to their sight,“

„It had two people in a love square with themselves. It‘s actually quite interesting,“

„I think I‘ve seen that book once. I think in some moments the characters are in the distant future,“

„I think that was one chapter about that,“

„Then I think I have read it,“

„Then don‘t spoil the ending for me,“

„The actual main villain is……,“

„Shush! No!“ Gerda ordered placing her finger in front of his lips. Rollan chuckled, making Gerda shake her head at his silliness.

„Don‘t worry, my lips are sealed,“ Rollan commented taking Gerda‘s hand down, then leaned his face closer to her for a kiss, and both got interrupted as someone knocked on the door and both saw Rollan‘s mother stand there with Alfida and Kai.

„Did we good in coming earlier or bad?“ Alfida asked making Gerda chuckle.

„I think I wouldn‘t like the latter one,“ Kai commented making his girlfriend shake her head amused at the raven-haired boy‘s comment.

„We were going to kiss. Nothing life-changing,“ Rollan commented watching Gerda sat normally. „I guess I won‘t need to accompany you home,“

„Another night, I promise,“ Gerda commented pecking Rollan on his cheek. „We are still all going to the beach tomorrow all together,“

„Yeah,“ Rollan noticed, then watched Ivan and Igor entangled in a ball together pushing down the bag of Rollan down, making Rollan recall the destroyed image he hadn‘t shown yet. „Oh I forgot to show you the portrait,“ Rollan warned getting up from the bed to take out the broken portrait to show it to Gerda.

„I will get you a new one someday, don‘t worry,“ Gerda said shoving the image back to her boyfriend. „But as long as I‘m here and you‘ve got the letters we send to each other during the rest of your formation, you will be able to see I‘m fine. Otherwise, I‘m right there,“ Gerda pointed at Rollan‘s heart making him nod.

„Gracias, amor,“ Rollan responded and embraced his girlfriend. „Get home safely“

„See you tomorrow, cariño,“ Gerda said pecking the boyfriend on the cheek, then she followed her friends out of the room and Leticia accompanied them down to the entrance, leaving Rollan back, which sat down on his bed and looked at Igor chewing on Ivan‘s ear making him furrow his eyebrows curious.

„Boys, what about I read you all a book again?“ Rollan offered watching the two boys get up from the ground to jump at Rollan‘s bed making him smile glad at them obeying him and Rollan looked at his bookshelf to look for a book, therefore Leonid, which had been sitting alone with Luta went to observe Rollan choose between his books.

On the outside, the trio walked together on the road making their way back to the ship.

„How was dinner?“ Alfida asked the girl. „Pretty good, right?"

„That was it,“ Gerda responded.

„I assume it tasted better than mines, right?“ Kai asked making the girls laugh.

„Come on Kai, their fishes were grilled. Preparing raw and cooked fish isn‘t the same,“ Gerda cheered her brother up.

„I know I just was joking,“ Kai commented. „But I was afraid on that day, that you might have gotten terribly sick, than you were,“

„Nothing happened, that‘s what‘s more important,“ Alfida added, then heard someone curse in Spanish and chuckled.

„Why are you laughing?“ Kai asked.

„I just heard someone say something bad in Spanish,“ Alfida commented looking down at the port to see two teenage Spaniards around Rollan‘s age on a small boat getting up from the boat, then the brunette teen jumped at the bridge beside the ship and held out his hand to help the friend up.

„I think I‘ve seen them somewhere,“ Gerda mentioned watching the raven-haired one in the boat pick up a ladder to hand it out to the friend. Gerda stopped watching the brunette get the ladder and point at the buildings across the street.

„You remember the house? It‘s the only one with a window near the roof,“ Told the raven-haired boy earning a nod from the friend. Gerda frowned watching the two walk the bridge along to get up on the sidewalk and go in the opposite direction.

„Kai, Rollan kept the book we stole back from the academy, right?“ Questioned the blonde earning a nod from the sibling.

„Yeah, I think he stored it into his bookshelf in the room,“ Kai responded. „Why?“

„Just asking,“ Gerda answered observing the teens follow their path and stop at a junction, then the raven-haired pointed at a building. Kai observed the two, then noticed his sister having her eyes glued on the teens and placed his hand on her shoulder.

„They must need the ladder for something, let‘s head home, Gerda,“ Kai asked seeing the boys move on and Gerda shook her head.

„I think those two are up to something,“ Gerda said making Alfida shrug and look at her boyfriend.

„You know, what happens in Spain is none of your business Gerda. If they break into someone‘s house it‘s none of our issues. After all…..there are better houses around here to assault, than Rollan‘s,“

„I‘m certain they were talking about his house, even if it isn‘t I‘m going to check it out,“ Gerda said turning into her dragon-heroine form and flew up at one house‘s roof and ran over them, making Kai sigh.

„Ugh she‘s going to cause trouble,“ Kai commented, then Alfida ran along the sidewalk to the road junction and stopped to observe them stop and have Rollan‘s house in sight.

„Why exactly his house?“ Alfida whispered to herself, then heard steps from above the roof and she looked up wondering, where Gerda was.

The two boys stood under the window of Rollan‘s bedroom, then Enrico placed the ladder on the house and looked up at how far the ladder reached and frowned as up to his window the ladder wasn‘t able to reach.

„Looks like we have bad luck today,“ Ernesto commented, then as he was about to leave a little anxious with their breaking-in plan Enrico grabbed the friend on the shoulder and pointed at the ladder.

„I have another idea. You climb the ladder up to the top, afterward I climb behind you and I get on your back and try to climb up into his room,“ Enrico explained. „Best option I can offer you now unless you prefer to break into his room, which you denied before,“

„Okay, I‘m just afraid we might fall and get hurt,“ Ernesto said watching his friend shake his head.

„Don‘t worry, we will be careful. We‘re not supposed to attract people to us, right?“ Enrico asked earning a nod from the friend, which climbed the ladder up to reach the top afterward Ernesto looked down at Enrico, which got on the ladder and followed it up. Afterward, Enrico climbed on the shoulders of his friend and Ernesto slowly got the last fewer stairs up to be able to raise Enrico up to the window, then he pulled himself up carefully up on the lodge and lied there on the side and glimpsed down at his friend, which gave him a thumb up.

„If you hear or see someone, misplace the ladder and whistle. I will hide under his bed and when you think it‘s safe make something like a bird noise,“ Enrico whispered making Ernesto nod and get down the ladder carefully as Enrico got into the room and spotted Rollan sleeping in his bed. Enrico smirked and sneaked carefully at the bookshelf, then began to look for the stolen book.

„Where is that book?“ Enrico asked himself, then he took a look at the bed and spotted in the dark in front of Rollan‘s legs three, unrecognizable creatures and he squinted his eyes trying to recognize what they were. Enrico looked back at the bookshelf, then slid a few books out slowly to check their names, and while he continued the youngest troll raised up his head to look up at Rollan, which was sleeping and he looked across the room to see Enrico touching the books and he got down of the bed to watch the boy continue to look through them. Leonid looked up at his older brother and nudged him on his arm, trying to wake him up, Afterward, he pushed him harder, shrieking him and Leonid mirrored his reaction falling on his butt making noise, which called Enrico‘s attention. He stared at the cub, which sat on the ground and got afraid by looking at the burglar, then Enrico approached the troll cub and grabbed him under his arms.

„You‘re not a dog,“ Enrico mentioned, then he noticed Ivan sitting on the bed glaring at him with his arms crossed. „Oh there‘s three of you I see?“

Ivan growled at Enrico, which smirked and packed the cub by his ears, causing him to yell, shrieking Enrico who pulled the cub tight onto his chest and Leonid tried to bite the burglar and Enrico watched from behind Rollan‘s head a white weasel stare at him in shock, then she bit Rollan on his ear to wake him up, setting Enrico in fear, which dropped the cubs and grabbed pushed Rollan‘s head against the pillow trying to put him down.

Ernesto whistled as he heard screaming from the inside of the house.

„ Enrico! Que pasa!?!?“ Ernesto asked fearful about, what he heard and he heard behind him a roofing tile fall from the house behind him and he gazed back, then saw on the ground a human-like shadow with wings pass fast above him into the house of Rollan making Ernesto swallow hard.

In the bedroom the cubs tried to pull Enrico away from Rollan, the pet weasel Luta jumped against Enrico and got pushed away, then took the opportunity to press his free hand against the hand he had on the side to try to help himself out.

„Bad idea to sleep on your belly,“ Enrico commented, then he noticed behind him the moonlight get slightly blocked and he looked behind himself, then he got packed by his back and got thrown on the ground. „Woah!“ Shouted Enrico, then he looked back at the bed and shut his eyes wide in shock as he spotted a dragon-themed superhero, which was snarling at him.

Rollan had sat up in shock, then the troll cubs got reunited with the dragon-themed superheroine, which embraced the triplets for comfort.

„What the heck are you?“ Enrico asked, then Gerda moved the cubs aside and jumped off the bed to grab the bad guy, which shrieked and ran towards the window, then tripped over the shoes of Rollan flying against the wall and Gerda pressed him against the wall, growling and glaring angrily at the boy.

„Are you kidding me? What are you doing in my room?!?“ Rollan asked annoyed at his enemy‘s presence and Gerda looked at her boyfriend to check his health state, then Enrico used the distraction to push her away shrieking Rollan.

„Hey!“ Rollan shouted watching Enrico get up on the lodge, then Enrico noticed on the drawer the book he was looking for and Gerda flew against him, then Enrico jumped away from the window and Gerda bounced with her legs on the edge of the window and flew against Enrico, which had already grabbed the book and now was under the arms of the superheroine. Enrico punched Gerda with the book and got up, then she used her tail to cause him to trip and he landed with his stomach on the lodge losing the book to the outside of the house. Gerda pulled Enrico with her tail away from the window, then grabbed him on his shirt continuing to growl at him.

„Enrico! Are you alright!“ Shouted Ernesto from the outside catching Rollan‘s attention, then he looked down at Enrico which was feeling tensed about the mysterious creature being over him.

„Corre!,“ Shouted Enrico making Gerda flinch her teeth and raise her hand up putting out her claws shrieking Enrico and Rollan at the same time and she scratched beside Enrico the wooden floor, causing Rollan to sigh in relief while Enrico had his eyes closed shivering in fear from the dragon-themed creature. Enrico opened his eyes, then noticed Gerda had her hand clawed on the ground, then she removed it from there and watched Enrico slowly get calmer from the situation, afterward she packed him again and flew out of the bedroom to drop the boy on the road. Enrico looked back at her, then she raised her hand again and moved it forward to pretend to scratch him and watched him ran away and disappear in the corner of the next house. From the other side Alfida and Kai looked out to see Gerda, then Gerda gave the two a thumb up and flew up into the bedroom of her boyfriend again to spot him together with the cubs, which were in his arms.

„Are you all okay?“ Gerda asked approaching her boyfriend and the triplets. The cubs came into Gerda‘s arms again, then she hugged them tight making them happy. „Everything is fine, I‘m here for you,“

„How did you get so fast here to save us?“ Rollan asked getting closer to Gerda, followed by Luta, which jumped up on his shoulder to fly into Gerda‘s arms to cuddle.

„Alfida and I heard them at the docks talk about climbing into a house with a window near the roof and the closest house here was yours and I followed them to make sure you all were safe,“ Gerda explained making Rollan nod.

„Wow if you didn‘t notice that before I would have gotten suffocated here,“ Rollan pointed out making Gerda nod and pat his back.

„I think the cubs or Luta could have helped you at least out of the bed,“ Gerda commented earning a nod from Rollan, which looked down at Luta and Rollan patted the weasel on the head.

„You know….it kind of was risky to break into my house like that as a dragon,“ Rollan commented. „People could find out who you are, people like Enrico,“

„I know, I made sure no one saw me,“ Gerda stated earning a nod from Rollan, then Gerda let the cubs move to the end of Rollan‘s bed, then she patted them on their heads making Rollan smile and observed them slowly trying to close their eyes. Rollan got up to look around his room if something was missing, then he remembered about the book his girlfriend had obtained on the same day and ran to the commode to notice it had disappeared.

„I think the reason Enrico got here was because of the book,“ Rollan commented. „It‘s gone,“

„I have noticed it. I‘m sorry I have let him go,“ Gerda apologized, then Rollan placed his hand on her shoulder.

„It‘s okay, at least we‘re fine. We can get it another time. Tomorrow I will think about it,“

„No, no, no. Tomorrow we‘re all going to have fun. You promised it to me, remember?“ Gerda asked tipping with her finger on Rollan‘s lips. "After all that we see about that,"

„Si,“ Responded Rollan, then he lied down on his bed and looked at Gerda, which was about to leave, then she gazed back at her boyfriend which waved at the girl, then she returned to give him a short hug. Gerda got up and flew out of the bedroom leaving Rollan back with a smile, then he sighed amorously and lied down on his back again, closing his eyes so he could soon fall asleep again.

In the afternoon Gerda sat inside the ship playing dominoes with Orm on top of a box while sitting around it with crossed legs for comfort.

„You‘re going out tonight?“ Orm asked making Gerda shrug her shoulders.

„I haven‘t decided yet,“ Responded Gerda. „I‘m waiting for Rollan to come back from the academy. We don‘t really need to go out anywhere, Simply spending the time together would do it well for us or just talk. Tomorrow if Alfida and Kai are interested, we‘re all going to the beach…...are you by coincidence interested in coming along? If you do, we may have to go at night, when almost no one is around,“

„It‘s alright. I‘ve seen everywhere beaches, it‘s fine if I skip this,“ Responded the troll.

„You‘re sure?“ The blonde asked earning a nod from the friend. „Alright,“

„You‘re still planning to take the triplets back home this weekend, right?“

„The best moment for me is to go out at night to make sure no one spots us. Also, someone of you needs to show me, where they are or how we should go there,“

„When Rollan is back, I ask him how we should do it,“ Gerda mentioned. „I believe the triplets want as well to tell him and his mother goodbye,“

„Good, then we depart on Monday?“ Orm asked making Gerda shrug her shoulders.

„Alfida hasn‘t said anything yet,“ Gerda commented, then they heard someone whistle and they looked at the entrance of the airship to see Alfida step in with a book in her hand, afterward helped her boyfriend Kai up on the boat.

„We‘ve found a replica of that book Orm threw off the ship!“ Alfida announced making Gerda smile and take the book.

„What you really bought me one?“ Gerda asked. „Thank you,“ Gerda responded putting his arms around the friend.

„Well, I wouldn‘t say I‘ve bought it too 100%. More like we borrowed it,“ Alfida commented showing the girl a sheet, which showed the day they had to return the book. „But technically we will leave the next few days so we can just keep it forever,“

„Oh well, then I make sure I finish this book before we leave, so I can give it back,“

„I knew you would say that,“ Alfida chuckled, then sat down on the ground next to Orm. „By the way how was your night yesterday with Rollan? I didn‘t pay attention to when you arrived here,“

„It was sweet to be spending time with him. Just the two of us alone on the beach strolling around, listening to the sea. It couldn‘t have been better,“

„That‘s sweet,“ Alfida commented, then Kai came along with his painting easel and placed it on the middle of the ship, then looked over the town. „You‘re going to paint the town?“

„I haven‘t painted in a while. It would be a good thing to do now,“ Kai announced. „Any special wishes?“

„A painting of the beach would actually be cooler and different“ Suggested Alfida. „Like not many people have seen a beach and it would be worth a lot,“

„That‘s actually a good idea. That king there would give you a lot of money if you did that,“ Orm suggested.

„It‘s worth a try,“ Kai responded closing the easel again. „Is someone tagging along with me?“

„If you‘re okay with waiting five more minutes, I come along,“ Alfida said making her way into the cabin, then Gerda looked at the town squinting her eyes to look at the church with the tower showing the time, then smiled.

„I will leave as well in a few minutes, I‘m just finishing the match here with Orm,“ Gerda pointed out making her brother nod.

„Where shall we all met later on?“ Questioned the younger brother.

„Maybe to dinner time,“ Suggested Gerda. „Don‘t worry, I‘ll say anything,“

„Okay,“ Kai responded walking towards the cabin to wait for his girlfriend to come out.

About a quarter-hour later Gerda arrived at Rollan‘s mother‘s house, then as she stepped on the stairs she heard someone whistle and she looked back to see Rollan coming along on the carriage with his friends.

„Hey,“ Gerda greeted, then watched Rollan jump down off the cart to meet the girlfriend, by holding his arms open to her and she got onto them. „How was your day?“

„Could have been worse,“ Rollan responded, then Pastor jumped down off the carriage followed by Marina. „Enrico has noticed right in the morning his book was missing,“

„That‘s your girlfriend?“ Pastor asked approaching the couple along with Marina.

„Uh…...What are you doing here?“ Rollan asked surprised.

„After what happened I thought it would be a good thing to have two witnesses here with you,“ Explained Pastor making Gerda raise her eyebrows curious.

„Did something happen to you?“ Gerda asked watching Rollan take down his back and shrug his shoulders.

„Enrico and I almost got into a fight due to the missing book,“ Rollan responded.

„That‘s all my fault Rollan. We should have made another plan to get rid of it,“ Gerda stated, then Rollan shook his head.

„No, it‘s not your fault. I rather have had this happen, than him showing Roberto that book,“ Rollan explained earning a nod from his girlfriend.

„What‘s so special about that book?“ Questioned Pastor. „Is it so good it destroys someone‘s life or what?“

„It could,“ Rollan spoke quietly, then looked at Gerda which nodded and Rollan sank his head down.

„They‘re your friends. Let them at least know what‘s it all about,“ Gerda suggested and Rollan grabbed Gerda‘s hand tight holding it close to his body.

„I don‘t want to be saying all this alone,“ Rollan commented making Gerda nod.

„I help you out, if you want,“ Gerda offered making the boyfriend nod, then both sat down on the stairs and exchanged looks to see, who would start first.

„I had this one book about legends and one of those pages talked about the wishing stones, which would grant the persons, who touched it some sort of superpowers. I went to the Scandinavian peninsula and made my way through the trolltunga to look for the troll kingdom, where this tomb was located with the wishing stone. Gerda…...“

„He met me at a friend of mine‘s house and he told me about the stone and I convinced myself to go along with him there, mainly to bring back my parents. When we found the stone we used it and instead of it giving us what we wanted we got cursed with the powers that once belonged to the fire-demon and the snow queen,“

„The worst part was I was an idiot. I wanted to obtain superpowers with her help by using her, but with the time I was together with her looking I felt bad about the lie, but as nothing had happened so far I kept it a secret and I don‘t remember, what happened afterward. The only thing I know, is that I was terrible towards her and anyone else.“

„What happened?“ Marina asked curious. „I kind of got lost,“

„After we awakened the demons we were cursed and we had 24 hours until the curse would take over us and we would become slaves of them. The worst part was, that Rollan…….I don‘t know what happened to him, he…….the fire-demon had somehow got Rollan on his side and he left me back in the middle of the lava in the tomb to go out destroy the kingdom and hurt everyone there,“

„Kill you mean,“ Rollan corrected quiet at listening to the story. „I almost committed genocide without even knowing I was doing that. I can‘t even imagine I was capable of doing so,“

„There must be a better explanation to that. I‘m certain, that the fire-demon somehow is able to brainwash you to have done that. Why else would you not have any memory from what happened?“

„I don‘t know, didn‘t Orm tell me you found me in the middle of the lava unconscious?“ Questioned Rollan.

„Maybe your memory got erased during the time the fire-demon was in your body or you had gotten it from the time you had passed out for the amount of time you were there at the lava. There are many theories, that could be right,“

„It could even be my fault and I just don‘t remember anything about it. What if I made a pact with the devil?“

„Rollan don‘t be stupid. I know this isn‘t true, even if it was, just leave it behind. You‘re doing better now,“ Gerda assured the raven-haired boy, which shrugged his shoulders, then the girlfriend patted him on the shoulder.

„And what has that have to do with the book now?“ Pastor asked. „Is all that you talked about written in it?“ Questioned the raven-haired boy, while Marina was processing what she had just head.

„Wait a minute…...didn‘t you say that your girlfriend Gerda is the Gerda, that defeated the Snow Queen or something?“ Marina asked making the couple nod. „And that book from the library isn‘t a myth, but truth and the one you‘re…..Enrico was looking for is the same?“

„Almost everything you read inside those books is what happened…..or at least the major points of the books are true. I‘m not sure about then one this Enrico had, but I assume it‘s the same,“

„Woah that‘s cool,“ Pastor commented seeing Rollan lie his arms on his lap to sink his head. „Well the thing of the stories being real, the part of you being brainwashed and all not,“

„You know it‘s hard for Rollan to believe he did that and having no memory of it, makes it just worse for him. I really understand this situation,“

„I‘m sorry I never told anyone of you about this. I was afraid of how you two would react or worse, if you two would find it out the other way around and wouldn‘t forgive me for why I didn‘t tell you it,“ The Spaniard apologized.

„Well at some point I understand, why you didn‘t say that,“ Marina mentioned. „I didn‘t believe you had a girlfriend after two weeks after meeting you,“

„Him having a girlfriend doesn‘t sound unrealistic, the rest of the story does if he would have told it all by himself,“ Pastor added earning a nod from Marina.

„That must be a lot to take it for now, right?“ Gerda asked as she placed her hand behind Rollan‘s back for comfort.

„It‘s fine I guess,“ Pastor replied shrugging his shoulders.

Behind Rollan, the door opened up and Leticia looked out to see Rollan‘s friends around, then smiled at seeing them all around.

„Hijo, I didn‘t know you were here“ Leticia commented, then she felt someone surpass by her side laughing and looked down to see Igor ran towards Gerda and Rollan.

„Gerda!“ The troll extolled getting onto the arms of the girl, which smiled and hugged him.

„Hey you shouldn‘t be here,“ Rollan warned watching Igor cuddle with the teenage girl.

„What is that?“ Marina asked perplexed with the look of the creature, then shrieked as two more of the creatures ran out of the house and jumped on Rollan‘s lap to get to Gerda, with the exception of Leonid, which was picked up by the Spaniard.

„Get in there, no one else should see you three,“ Rollan warned watching Gerda stand up, then Rollan accompanied her into the house along with his friends and Leticia looked around before closing the door.

„Is this another of those long stories?“ Pastor asked watching Leonid grab Rollan on his hair to play with.

„Those are baby trolls,“ Rollan commented. „Or well…..toddlers in some sort,“

„So…...this troll land place is actually a normal place, but with trolls like them?“ Questioned Marina earning a nod from Rollan.

„And these trolls aren‘t any trolls, they‘re Princes,“ Gerda mentioned. „My troll-friend Orm was taking care of them, while the parents were busy and they somehow went as blind passengers on Rollan‘s ride here up to Spain,“ Gerda explained. „In a few days, we will bring them back home before something happens to them,“

„My mother and I took care of them this entire time until Gerda and the rest of the team came. At some aspects I really enjoyed having them here with me,“ Rollan confessed patting Leonid on his head, which chuckled and nudged him on his cheek making the others smile enchanted by the cub‘s deed.

„Leonid is most likely going to miss you a lot, Rollan,“ Gerda mentioned, then Igor grabbed Rollan on his shoulder and Gerda helped the cub up on Rollan‘s arms, which now both were occupied by the cubs.

„Gees how can you handle three babies at once?“ Pastor asked surprised making Rollan shrug his shoulders.

„They‘re so far not as hard to deal with at the moment,“ Rollan responded.

„Are you planning on going somewhere, Hijo?“ Leticia asked looking at the son, which shook his head.

„Nope,“ Responded Rollan. „You need to go to the bank?“ Rollan asked putting his hand in his pocket to get out the money he received. „I‘m not sure about if you arranged something for us to eat yet, but if not you can also take some from here,“

„I saved aside for food, don‘t worry mi hijo. Tomorrow I‘ll be out as well to work at the fish market and I may bring home a fish or two for dinner,“ Leticia offered earning a nod from Rollan.

„But use my whole money to pay the debts. The faster we do that the fewer debts we get at the end of the month,“ Rollan warned earning a nod from the woman.

„I‘ll be back in a hour. Make yourself home,“ Leticia asked getting out of the house, then Marina sank her head down at knowing about the debts of the family.

„Do you need more money to help you out?“ Asked Marina making Rollan shake his head.

„No, no you two need it for your own family. We‘re fine at the moment,“ Rollan explained earning a nod from the girl, then Pastor had an idea.

„Hey my mom works as well at the fish market. What do you say, if I buy a few fishes at the market?“ Pastor offered. „I get it cheaper as my mom works there full-time. Let‘s all have dinner together. Interested?“

„I would like that,“ Marina responded.

„I haven‘t eaten for so long in family…..except well my mom was always here and the triplets, but I wouldn‘t mind doing it,“ Rollan responded. „You‘re staying as well, Gerda?“ Rollan questioned the blonde, which shrugged her shoulders.

„I‘m not sure if the invitation also is referred to me,“ Gerda answered making Pastor chuckle.

„You‘re Rollan‘s girl, of course you‘re staying with us. It‘s his house at the end of the day….his mom‘s I mean,“ Pastor corrected earning a nod from the blonde.

„Well, then you can count on me,“ Gerda announced making Rollan smiled amused to know the girlfriend would stay with him for dinner.

¡Vamos a España! - Chap 23

Chapter 23

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29442912/chapters/75071736

Rollan ran out of the labyrinth along with Marina and a third man heading toward a wall, then he jumped against the wall to climb it up, followed by the girl and both jumped down at the sand under the wall, then finished the run at the start line, which was tagged with a rope.

„I‘ve noticed…...we‘re getting better,“ Marina puffed tired from the race around the parkour. „What about you? Did you notice anything,“

„Uh perhaps the endurance?“ Rollan mentioned shrugging his shoulders. „Or what‘s more right is the obstacle run and that I‘m now more focused on it. On the other hand, the obstacles are the same so you got used to it on how it works now,“

„Yes they are, but hey you could practice a few moves which could be helpful out there. Didn‘t it help you out to catch that one criminal at the harbor lieutenant Roberto spoke about?“

„Yes, but I feel like there could be more,“ Rollan commented, then watched Lieutnaunt Roberto come along with a jar filled with water and a few cups hanging by its handle on his fingers, then waited for Pastor to arrive along with another man on the finish line.

„Come and take another bit of water. Under the sun right now you should all drink more, it doesn‘t matter if you need to go to pee more often. It‘s the best for you all right now during training,“ Roberto explained watching the students take a cup, then he pours out water to them all, so they could take a sip.

„That‘s what I really needed right now,“ Pastor commented taking a sip, making Rollan chuckle along with Marina.

„We all need it. At least I do that too. I‘m beginning to have another headache again,“ Rollan commented and threw a bit of water onto his forehead to get cooled a little.

„I know what you mean,“ The girl agreed to empty her whole cup into her mouth, then held the cup out again for the lieutenant to fill it again.

„Depending on how I feel afterward I may go take a swim at the beach to cool my entire body down,“ Rollan mentioned making Pastor and a few men nod.

„That would be a good idea,“ The raven-haired boy agreed.

„About that, I‘m going to mention it later. Just waiting for the rest of the group to get back here,“ Roberto spoke and poured again water into Rollan‘s cup and two other men. „I‘ll go get another one,“ Roberto mentioned as he had filled the last cup with water and walked back.

„I have heard back in the labyrinth Rinaldo had found a shortcut due to a misplaced wall, which he could push aside to let people pass through,“ Pastor mentioned. „Has anyone noticed that?“

„No, not at all,“ Marina responded.

„I have no idea,“ Rollan added. „I assumed it only had one solution,“

„It still does though,“ Pastor commented, then Roberto came back with more water and the rest of the group got together, including Enrico and Ernesto.

„Totally forgot our team looks smaller now without the others,“ A man mentioned earning a nod from another student as the team was now complete.

„Yes Juan, next week we will see who else will leave before we continue. Now that I see you‘re all here. I wanted to announce to you, tomorrow at 3 right after the end of our lessons, we move out all toward the beach to practice there on the sand. We will additionally swim a few rounds there, jog and box there in and outside of the water. Sounds like an easy task, but soon you‘ll notice it‘s not as easy as it seems,“

„It is easy, Senor,“ One young adult said making a few men laugh.

„Can‘t wait to see you try tomorrow, Samuel,“ Roberto commented making the boy smirk confident. „The other group is informed and will be present on the other side of the beach, so we‘re not bothering other visitors a lot,“

„One more question, will we be there for the rest of the lessons?“ Questioned Samuel earning a nod from the lieutenant.

„Yes. That means, when we‘re over, you can go directly home without a problem. So I would suggest you take your stuff when we head back to the beach,“ Roberto commented. „That‘s it for now boys, come and take your last laps, before it‘s time to go,“ Announced the lieutenant seeing four men depart, leaving the rest of the group back, then Rollan approached Pastor and nudged him with his hand on his arm.

„Pastor, remember in the break as I mentioned you, how you feel about mistakes from the past?“ Rollan asked making the boy nod. „Imagine, you had done something terrible and…….you don‘t remember doing it?“

„Hmm…...this is a good question…..did you drink too much beer?“ Questioned Pastor making Rollan shake his head. „How long is that terrible mistake ago?“

„About a year,“ Rollan commented, then noticed fewer students pass forward to enter the parkour and he noticed his former bullies in the near and began to ponder about continuing his conversation. „Nevermind, I‘ll talk to you about this another day, when no one else is around us,“

„Oh okay, don‘t worry. I‘m around Alicante or the fish market if you really need someone to talk to,“ Pastor assured earning a nod from Rollan.

„Thank you,“ Rollan responded watching the boy smile and hold his fist up, earning a smile from the raven-haired Spaniard, which took up his arm too, folding his hand into a fist to bump it against it.

At the beach, Orm and Gerda sat together the at the edge of a stone hill, which belonged behind a large coast covered in sand. The two friends watched in serenity the small waves on the water move making a relaxing sound.

„I have to admit, it‘s quite soothing to listen to the water when everything else is quiet,“ Confessed the troll earning a nod from the girl, that sat beside him. „I don‘t think during the day the humans have that much chance to be able to listen to this,“

„They‘re more entertained with the bathing or in hanging out with friends and family out on the beach, that no one else is going to pay attention to it. It might also be a little loud to listen to it when you‘re at the moment talking with everyone else,“

„I believe that,“ Orm nodded, then heard Gerda sight enamored at the sight to the water.

„The nights here at the beach are so warm. I could imagine taking a nap right here on the sand,“ Gerda mentioned making Orm nod.

„Would not be such a bad idea,“ Orm stated. „We‘re safe from crabs or any other sort of animals during this time, right?“

„No idea,“ Gerda commented. „There are worse things to worry about. On the other hand, we could always sleep up in the ship like we always did,“

„We can see that later when we‘re all together again. It can also be each to his own. If some sleep here and the rest on the ship, if it‘s going to be like that“

„Yes,“ Gerda replied watching Orm lie back on the hill and adjust his right leg over the left one.

„Tomorrow…..Alfida hasn‘t set a departure time to leave, right?“

„Not that I know,“

„Just wondering, didn‘t Alfida speak something about a tower, that was located near the waters?“ Orm recalled making Gerda shrug her shoulders.

„Oh wait I think I remember. She mentioned, the tower was located out of Lisbon, but it‘s in the near,“ Gerda vouched. „She hasn‘t actually said anything about it yet. Just that eventually, we could pass by before leaving Portugal for good,“

„Okay, then it will be what…….14 hours until we‘re in Alicante, more or less?“ Orm guessed making Gerda shrug her shoulders.

„Probably around that,“

„We will see then,“ Orm replied, then watched Gerda stretch her arms to yawn and she took out a sheet from the Interieur of her vest and opened it, earning Orm‘s attention, which had an idea, what the sheet was. „Did Rollan send you a message again?“

„Yeah I just didn‘t make it to answer the letter yet,“ Gerda explained. „He wrote that he was happy to know we were taking our time to get to know a few places and that your cousins are fine under his and his mother‘s hands. They even took the boys out at night to grill sausages together. Look they even signed the sheet with their handprint,“ Gerda showed the letter to Orm so he would see the marks.

„What is he saying down there in Spanish? I only understood the second word,“ The troll asked making the girl chuckle.

„I haven‘t figured out the world dulce yet, but I think that means sweet or cute. The full sentence may mean I love you a lot, my sweet love. With love, Rollan,“

„Tomorrow you two will see each other again and you can ask him that,“

„I‘m glad to be able to see him again and see how his hometown is like,“ Gerda commented. „Have you any idea how it could look like?“

„I don‘t know,“ Orm responded shrugging his shoulder. „Must have many houses there,“

„Wow I never thought of that,“ Gerda joked making Orm snicker.

„I‘m beginning to like that on you too,“ Orm confessed making Gerda grin.

„Alfida‘s comments are the best ones, but you‘ve seen her growing up her entire life around pirates, which made her rough,“ Gerda explained earning a nod from the troll.

„Indeed, but with the time she got older, she got…..calmer. She still has those moments, but it‘s what makes her who she is,“

„Uh hum,“ Gerda nodded and lied back on the hill, then widened her eyes as she observed the shark-themed airship fly above them, taking a turn to approach the top of the hill to stop. „Great, Kai and Alfida are back,“ Gerda mentioned watching Kai throw out of the ship a rope, then jumped out of it with another rope and waited for Alfida to throw a hammer, therefore he used the hammer to fasten the rope attached on a wooden pier on the earth surface.

„Kai is really becoming an expert after those days we‘ve been out here,“ The troll mentioned making Gerda nod.

„I believe he did it once or twice before we all went together here on this trip. Just now he‘s more present to have the chance to do it,“ Gerda pointed out watching the friend mirror her previous response and the two raven-haired teens at the ship slid down the hill and made their way towards the two sitting friends carrying a small paper bag in their hands.

„Hey you two, open your hands up immediately. We‘ve brought hot Chorizo rolls. It‘s delicious as heck,“ Alfida warned stopping by the two friends opening the back, so Kai took out two wrapped-in breads and gave them to Orm and Gerda.

„They‘re still warm,“ Gerda commented earning a nod from her brother.

„Yeah, eat it before it gets cold,“ Kai warned watching Orm remove the paper off his roll and took a bit on it.

„Wow, that‘s good,“ Orm mumbled followed by Gerda taking a bite on hers, then nodded.

„It really is. Thanks,“ Gerda commented, then Alfida sat down next to her along with Kai.

„So, what are you planning to do for the next few hours? Sleep?“ Alfida asked making Gerda shrug her shoulders.

„Orm and I already discussed, where we could sleep. Wouldn‘t it be interesting to sleep on the warm sand?“ Gerda suggested making Alfida shrug her shoulders.

„It‘s not such a bad idea. I just don‘t want to leave my ship up there alone. I‘m not really expecting someone to rob us, but still, it would be safe if one or two of us would be up there,“ Alfida said. „You can all be here if you want. I‘ll be up there on the ship,“

„I‘ll be here with Gerda and Orm tonight,“ Kai offered looking at the two friends.

„In case you don‘t want to be alone, I can come up with you, if you want,“ Orm offered earning a nod from the pirate girl.

„Thanks for your offer,“ The raven-haired girl answered observing the troll eat the meat roll.

 Soon all had fallen asleep, except for Kai, which sat looking at the ocean with a smile feeling amused by the movement of the waves, then he looked up at the ship, where Alfida was spending the night. Kai yawned, then rubbed his eyes and looked to the side, where Orm was sleeping with his face turned against the left side and Gerda was lying straight on her back and had on her hand a folded sheet, which was the letter of her boyfriend. Kai caressed his sister gently on her arm, then pecked her on the forehead and got up, then moved further on the sand towards the ship, then used the rope-made ladder to climb up onto the ship of his girlfriend.

Kai looks around the deck to see nowhere around and walked toward the cabin, to enter it to spot Alfida sleep on the hammock peacefully. Kai approached the girlfriend and smiled from seeing her sleeping, then looked away shyly. He stepped aside to walk to go to the other hammock across the room, then took off his jacket and heard Alfida groan and he looked back at her to see her move aside having her back turned against him. Kai smiled enchanted, then had an idea and used his jacket to cover up the girlfriend, adjusting it around her. Kai leaned his face close to her cheeks to peck her and moved back watching her sleep. Kai sighed enamored with the girl and walked backward still watching the sleeping pirate-descendant girl reaching the other side of the cabin. Suddenly he trips over a book, that lied on the ground and he falls on top of the hammock, which due to Kai‘s fall moved up letting Kai fell on his front. 

„Ahhh!“ Cried the boy during th fall scaring the girlfriend awake.

„What…..who‘s there? What‘s going on?“ Alfida shouted getting up, palpating on top of the barrel looking for her gun, then she saw the person on the ground and realized it was just her boyfriend. „Kai? What are you doing there on the ground…...and why is your jacket on the ground?“ Alfida commented picking the jacket up, she hadn‘t noticed over her before.

„I secretly covered you seconds ago before I fell,“ Kai responded, then got helped up by the girlfriend. „The part of not waking you up didn‘t work as it seems,“

„That‘s sweet Kai. You didn‘t need to do that,“

„I know, I just felt the need to do it,“ Kai confessed making Alfida chuckle.

„I see that,“ Alfida commented watching Kai feel slightly a bit abashed. „You‘re staying here for the night?“

„If you‘re okay with it,“ Kai responded making Alfida nod. „Tomorrow we‘re getting up early you say, right?“

„Maybe,“ Responded Alfida. „It doesn‘t matter to me. In anyways we will need to find Rollan‘s house and later on, if we‘re going to get them back, we‘ll need to find a good timing to not catch any attention by other citizens,“

„Will Orm be present during that?“

„We‘ll see it then. So far I know, the cubs also listen to Gerda. To Rollan I assume they‘re doing the same, so far we got this from Gerda‘s letters. The best thing is to see it there when we meet us all again,“

„Alright, sounds easier to wait,“

„Exactly,“ Alfida agreed, then Kai adjusted the hammock before lying up in it, afterward the girlfriend got up onto her hammock too and looked at Kai, which took a look out from the window at the ocean. „The sight of the ocean from above here isn‘t as beautiful as it was down there. Have you noticed it too?“

„Yeah, you‘re right,“ Alfida confessed placing her arms behind her head. „You know, during my entire life as a sea pirate, I‘ve seen many beautiful things around the world, anyone of you probably don‘t even know about it,“

„Must have been cool,“ Kai said earning a nod from the girl.

„You know, in the future when we get one of these chances again, we both could really travel the world together and see what the world has to offer more. Wouldn‘t that be cool?“

„Is this possible for us?“ Kai asked making Alfida shrug her shoulders.

„Not sure how high the possibility is for us, but it‘s definitely a great plan for us two,“ Alfida mentioned earning a nod from Kai.

„You know what? We should start to plan this out together and maybe when we‘re 20 or older we could go out together and see the world. It‘s a good idea if we plan it good enough,“

„I‘ve got most of the books about various destinations. We can even get some from my mom and begin to plan it one day, then when we‘re ready…..We just depart,“ Announced the girl making the boyfriend nod.

„Brilliant, this is going to be amazing Alfida. Just the two of us,“ Kai said making Alfida nod pleased about her boyfriend‘s excitement.

„I‘m glad about it, Kai,“ Alfida confessed putting the boy‘s jacket over herself, then watched Kai took off his shoes and adjust his legs on the hammock. „Good night, Kai,“

„Good night Alfida. Have a good sleep,“ Kai wished making the girl smile and close her eyes followed by the boy, which closed his eyes as he yawned at the same moment to try to fall asleep.
