[wilder]

Date & Time: December 14th (May 2010)
Location: North Shore, MN, USA
Characters: Zelos Wilder & Arya Stark
Summary: Mission for sanity, or fishing. Whatever.
Warnings: None!

[It was a beautiful late summer day on the Superior shore when they arrived. The trees and grass were green, and the waves moved in and hour peacefully with the sound of gulls. With the skies clear except for some clouds, the sun shone brightly and warmed the beach to much warmer temperatures than what the winter had been doing]

[They had come up on on the excuse of gathering supplies, but really it was more for a break of sanity. Zelos had promised to go fishing with the kid, and it was really nice to get away from everything back in Exsilium.]

[Zelos, promptly on arrival, took in the warm, snowless scenery, took in a deep breath and fell back into the soft sandy beach]

...Yeah. I don't think I wanna move for awhile.

[wilder]

Hey hey hey! I am not old!

And damn right we're going again!

[wolfchild]

[ several hours later, with the sun sinking behind the horizon, arya cooks one of her fishes over the fire. as she turns hers, she blinks at zelos all wide eyes and angelic expression. ]

You don't want to cook it too long. You'll make it smaller.

[ she may be a giant brat. ]

[wilder]

[It was an en entire afternoon of losing at a fishing game. After that first catch? Absolutely none bit. Just his luck]

[When she speaks up, he gives a glare over. He is an angel, he knows there is nothing good in angelic expressions]

Oh shut up.

[wolfchild]

Don't be rude.

[ pulling the fish back, she tests the meat. her fingertips are burned, but the meat is cooked through and she can pull it apart easily. she starts eating. ]

[wilder]

[he sticks his tongue out in response as a mature adult. He then turns back to the fire and uses his sword to grab one that's in the fire.]

Hm...it doesn't look that small.

[wolfchild]

[ she remembers to swallow before talking. ]

You can give it to Curry. She's hungry.

[wilder]

[...yeah he might as well. He looks around, calling for Curry]

Curry, come here! Got some food.

[wolfchild]

[ arya continues eating. nymeria is nowhere around but arya is not worried. there is little that can threaten a direwolf. she removes the slender fish bones from the meat. ]

Could you make needles out of these?

[wilder]

Needles?

[he considers]

I'm not sure. They might break pretty easily. Why?

[wolfchild]

I'm curious. Might have been a good use for them.

[ she tosses the bones into the sand. ]

[wilder]

Don't worry. I'm sure we can find you some real needles if you need them.

[wolfchild]

[ she makes a face. ]

I don't care for needles. I've one of mine own.

[wilder]

Just one?

[wolfchild]

I only need one.

[wilder]

Is it...a special needle or something? Because I've never heard of someone only needing one.

[wolfchild]

[ still holding her fish with one hand, she thumbs needle's pommel with the other. ]

My brother gave it to me.

[wilder]

[he glances over at what she's thumbing. Oh, a sword named Needle? It was clearly small, so the name fit]

Oh.

Robb?

[wolfchild]

[ she shakes her head. ]

Robb would rather I never had it.

[wilder]

Heh.

I know that feeling.

[wolfchild]

[ arya nods to curry. ]

She's waiting.

[ totally smooth subject change get ]

[wilder]

Oh-

[He sets the fish out for Curry to take. She grabs it with her mouth and runs off to start gnawing on it somewhere]

How's yours?

[wolfchild]

It's good. I thought it'd be more fun. [ the fishing, she means. ]

Mayhaps tomorrow we'll have better luck.

[wilder]

Sorry. Maybe if we had spears or something instead.

And heh, hope so! That was pretty embarrassing.

[wolfchild]

Can you make spears? [ she blinks at him over the snapping fire. arya leans forward in interest. ] Could you show me? I've never had one. Do you know how to use it?

[wilder]

Me?

Well, I had basic training on how to use one a long time ago, but I wouldn't call myself an expert. As for making one...I've never done that.
