Thorfinn tended to just roll his eyes and walk past. He didn't think trying to eat someone's face was really that great, at least until he tasted her lips the first time, still it wasn't something he could see himself doing in front of others. He had an image to uphold.

He shrugged his shoulders, that light smile that she always brought out of him stayed in place, he couldn't help but feel more alive and wanted around her. "You hear me bitching? I need it sometimes, Freya." He knew that, he'd met Askeladd's fist one to many times when his ego would rise or he got a little too uppity. He knew he needed smacked down now and then.

He liked the ways she pushed him, she was someone he knew he could be himself with without worry, it was why he handed her a busted and broken half dead excuse of a heart and knew it was safe. "I must sometimes, Jo is my family." He repeated as he helped her along. The water right there now, everything a bit chilled. "I will wait here at the waters edge for you. Let you feel the water alone." He spoke the offer.

He made a bit of a face then tipping his head. "I never thought about that... there must be something. It never seemed my place to ask what besides Merlin being strange, but you have a point." He ran a hand through his hair and sighed scratching at his ear. "I dont ask Jo things it's not really my place "If something happens I will be fine, I am a survivor and I wont go down easily. But I will keep my eyes open when I am there. And if you want I'll leave Sylvi with you when I do go back so your not completely alone."

"Oh I know you do." She shook her head. It figured that she'd fall for a guy who needed to have sense knocked into him every now and again. She was sure that she was the same way, not that she'd admit that aloud. They balanced each other well, in a way that Freya hadn't really realized she needed or wanted. Like Yin & Yang; very similar and yet different. Together they become whole.

There would always be that feeling in her chest, that place in her heart where her family was but she knew, over time, there would be new love there and the old love would become richer and deeper. It would never disappear but because something she could build off of. That was how the heart grew strong. It would only take time.

"You don't have to ask, just be careful. Okay. And it isn't just you I'm worried about. You care more for others than you do yourself and if anything were to happen to those at the Roadhouse. I know you wouldn't forgive yourself." She's been able to figure out that much."I can't do much but if something comes up, please let me help. Though I'll happily keep Sylvi with me but only if that's what she wants." Freya smiled and turned. "You know, you can join me in the water."

She then pulled off her shirt, she didn't bother wearing a bra, and then tugged her pants past her waist. It was only then that she stepped into the crisp cool current of the water. It send a shiver up her spine and she felt her arms wrap around her torso as she waded a little deeper into the small stream. It was enough to go to her waist but she'd have to dip herself down to go deeper. Her ankle ached in the water and her shouldered tensed.

It might not have been the best idea but she was enjoying it and while it was a little cold, it also felt good. She felt alive.

He had a feeling himself just likeafter he died he would have to go sometimes and push her out of her comfort zone, but honestly if he wanted an easy life he'd just ask Merlin or someone to pick him a wife and deal with it. He had a chance to find love himself and he took it in both hands. Thinking now of his talk with Noriko last time a true strangeness happened, when he had to live as the prince from Jomsborg, locked up and kept from the world, scarless and scared. A boy he could never have lived as... a boy given to his grandfather to buy his parents freedom. Even if he had lost his family still he now had Freya. He could and would be happier having made his own choices.

"I should ask, but I don't know, I never asked Askeladd shit either. I always figured it didn't matter." he explained with a shrug and started to unbutton his shirt and then tug his boots off, the undershirt came next and his hands went to his belt as he looked to Freya, watching her undress now that it no longer felt like something he couldn't and shouldn't do. "I would have you at my side if it comes to that. I do care about them, I do, but i am a grown man, I will eventually have to move. Ive known that even before I met you." He pulled the pants and the rest off, stepping down into the water, it was chilly but not to cold. Today he cared a lot less if she saw him naked.

He'd seen her plenty of times, and he was tired of walking about in wet pants. He'd get over himself. Walking on down into the water. "We will see what she chooses," speaking of she was already laying herself in Freya's shirt and rolling in their clothes.

Life wasn't supposed to be easy. It was messy, raw, passionate, freeing, difficult and so much more. Freya had lived by two simple words marked across her the left side of her chest, 'Just live.' It was a very simple idea and yet broken down into pieces it became complicated and rich. It was more than just an idea, it was an experiance. A life, something that could not be weighed or valued on a simple scale. Things might not go easily but those were the things worth fighting for.

As Freya turned back to watch Thorfinn undress, she decided, he was worth fighting for. Fighting, whatever it took, for them to stay together. She didn't care what label they had, what name their relationship took. She knew, in her heart that he would be hers and she would be his. The world was vast and wide and they would have those who came into their lives, but through all of that, they'd have each other.

That was all that mattered to her.

She turned towards him with a smile, watching him wade into the water. Freya was never bashful when it came to nudity but she'd always been respectful. She wanted people around her to be comfortable. Now she took a moment to look over Thorfinn's chest, his waist and lower. She knew most of his scars. She couldn't help but ask about them and he'd slowly told her over their time of knowing each other.

A thought crossed her mind and she stepped up closer to him, tilting her head to the side. "I guess I shouldn't get naked and shift in front of other people now." It felt like a small thing to her but if they were a couple it was traditional that only they saw each other naked and that much she'd change for him. It was never something sexual but she'd do what Thorfinn was more comfortable with.

Her light gray eyes move over to Sylvi and Freya felt herself smile. "I'm glad that she still recognizes my scent. I didn't know if it'd changed." It was a silly thing but it meant a great deal to Freya. Her eyes moved back to Thorfinn. "It's nice to see that you've joined me. I'm going to duck under. I don't know if you need to bathe or not but I can braid your hair while we're here. I've been practicing all through Yule to get better and learn more braids."

Freya's own hair draped like a curtain to her waist and even now there were small tendrils that floated across the surface of the water, brushing an inch beneath her belly button as they floated around her hips and her abdomen.

Thorfinn found little that was easy worth it, a deep part of him would always seek a challenge when when he didn't realize it. Growing the way he did he had certain expectations about life and people in general. Living to him wasn't an idea but the point, to keep living and making those around him see he wouldn't go down so easily.

He had decided to fight for her before the first time he saw her tears, before they swam on his fathers boat, and now a new feeling was taking root in him, a deep primal need to protect what was his. He was a selfish lad at times, and he would end anything that tried o harm her, at least that was what his mind said.

As he made his way into the water he shook his head some. "No, Don't worry about that Freya. It's a natural thing for you. It's not something I plan to do, but if something happens and you have to shift or need to i don't want you feeling restrained by unnecessary promises. I have you, no one else does, that is more than enough." He replied simply. Nudity hadn't become a sexual thing for him until after his trip to the brothel and mostly because it came harder not to want to look at her. Nature had a way of making things awkward.

He looked back at Sylvi, deciding it wasn't worth snapping for, she was being adorable in Freya's clothes. "I wouldn't think it has, but its good to see she still knows." He replied before shaking his head some. "No, it's not the bathing day yet. I'm just here because you offered. Do what you need. You can braid my hair if you want I dont mind." His eyes moved to her hair as a slash was heard and little padding at the water, Sylvi finally decided to swim to them after playing in their cloths, headbutting Thorfinn in the leg for staring at Freya. Until he turned to give his attention to her for a few moments.

Freya rolled her shoulders in a shrug the muscles in her back rippling with the motion. Her strength, speed and stamina was that of a humans but she was built well and in shape. She'd spent her life running and that simple fact hasn't changed. "I don't really care one way or the other." Yes, she preferred to be able to shift but she'd been taught not to shift in front of others. When she was young there were very strict rules around it. To keep them hidden. What was natural could be arguable but if Thorfinn didn't mind then she wouldn't worry about it. She didn't shift in front of all that many people and it was usually only when she had too.

She wondered what was natural. Was this natural? As Freya flexed she began to feel more comfortable in her own skin. As long as she didn't try to shift, the awkward crawling sensation wasn't there. For now, she'd play at being human. It was weird to think about but she'd try and remind herself.

Freya smiled affectionately as Sylvi bounded into the water. The little pup was a good swimmer and watching her reminded Freya a bit of her youngest sister. While Sylvi begged for Thorfinn's attention Freya dipped herself beneath the water, disappearing beneath the calm rippling currents. The water was freeing and for a few short seconds she lingered beneath the surface, floating as if the world around her might drift away. She felt her lungs burn before pushing her way back up towards the waters surface. Her hair clung to her cheeks, neck and back as she turned towards Thorfinn and Sylvi. Her fingers began to move through the tangled mess, releasing the knots before twisting the blond mass and moving it to drape over her shoulder. The bruise on her shoulder had begun to show, the pale hue of her skin darkening to purple and black.

"That felt nice." It was all she really wanted to do in the water. "And I've decided I want to braid your hair. I'll be quick and you can take it out later if you want."
