[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]

- H-hey you don't have to point that out!

[MY POOR EGO! But that confuses him]

Huh? Why?

[wolfchild]

You won't tell me a story, you can pet my hair.

[ get useful or she's trading you in for a newer, better model. ]

[wilder]

[wow jeez does he look like a toy!!]

...Alright, fine. C'mere.

[wolfchild]

[ she's already on his lap!! arya falls quiet, tucking her chin over curry's head. her hand drifts lazily up and down curry's side. when zelos' hand passes over her hair, she breathes a small, contented sigh. only nymeria is missing and she would be happy. ]

[wilder]

[Shhh he can't help that his mun fails! But he'll do as she asked, and stroke her hair. Sure, his movements are stilted and a bit awkward- since he doesn't do this a whole lot, but he tries his best not to do make it too weird]

[Still, as he watches the scene, he can't help but think how unfortunate she is. If you seek someone like him out for affection, you can't be in that good of a position.]

[wolfchild]

[ when she closes her eyes, she tells herself it's because staring into a fire makes them ache rather than due to how heavy they feel. curry is fast asleep in her arms, and arya is quickly joining her. ]

Tomorrow— [ she breaks off in a yawn ] —do you want to build a sandcastle?

[wilder]

[there's an amused sound from his throat. He can tell she's fading fast, and so he keeps his voice lower]

Sure. I think I can do better at that than fishing.

[wolfchild]

[ she smiles a little. ser gregor, ser ilyn payne, ser meryn... ]

If I let you make me a mermaid, can I give you a merman's tail?

[wilder]

.....You mean like let you bury me in sand?

[THIS SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA]

[wolfchild]

No. I don't want to dig a hole.

[wilder]

You don't have to dig a hole to bury something.

[wolfchild]

[ she waves her fingers in a never mind gesture. it would have been childish anyway. the brief arguments make her lose her place in the list so she needs to start again. she hugs curry closer for warmth. ]

[wilder]

[And he'll grow silent at that. Maybe part of him wonders if he did something wrong but really- he rather not get buried in sand since that does not sound good.]

[Either way, he'll go back to being a silent pillow. He's getting good at knowing what to do for that at least!]
