I wake up in my hut with the noise of the early morning birds circling above the village. It takes me a moment to realise what happened last night and I still can't believe whether this is real. I turn around and he is there. Still sleeping. I look at him in silence, still not believing my eyes...
Last night, we were so happy to see each other. He told me about his journey through the sea with Arne and Frida. We then had dinner in the Great Hall with them. I listened to the stories they shared from their trip. I told them how well I was doing and how plentiful the hunting has become.
We talked a lot, yet this morning I felt as nothing has been truly said between myself and Boleslaw... I didn't really know why is he here? Did he change his mind? Would I change my mind? Maybe he is just passing by and this is just a simple visit?
My head was spinning... I needed to know... My heart needed to know... I am so scared I will get hurt again...
I quietly get up, pick up my things and silently leave the hut. I take a deep breath as I am outside and put my sword and some four over me as the chill of the early morning reaches my bones. I walk through the green grass field towards the forest. I feel the fresh air filling my lungs and my mind with every breath becomes more clear.
As I walk through the forest quietly I listen out for the animal life here. Before I know it I manage to catch a rabbit and I pick up a couple of eggs from the birds, which nests had became my regular collection spot.
When I walk back the village is full of life. People are chatting, laughing and doing their chores. I don't even realise that I smile as I pass by them.
When I get back to the hut Boleslaw is already awake and had made himself some tea, which he is drinking while sitting at the end of his bed. He looks up surprised at me when I enter my home holding my bits.
"Oh, where have you been?" he asks
"In the supermarket," I say as I laugh. He is completely confused
"What is that?"
"Its a market, where you can get everything you need, that's why we call it super... super market"
"Oh, and in this supermarket, you can get wild eggs and freshly killed rabbits?"
"No, sorry" I look at him as I realise that the joke I had made him all confused "It was a joke" I explain
"Oh, ok. The rabbit looks good... Do you need help with it?"
I look at him, all relaxed and decide to prepare the food myself.
"No, thank you. I will be happy to cook for us"
"Ok, so what can I do?"
"Mmmm... Maybe tell me what brings you here?" I give him a quick look as I start to remove the meat of the rabbit from its fur.
He gets up and walks over to me, looking at what I am doing and after a moment says
"I came to see you."
"I am very glad to see you too... But with how we have left things I never thought that you would decide to just come and visit me? Did something change?" I ask while carefully stabbing the rabbit's meat on to a metal stick, which will help me with roasting the meat over the fire.
"Yes, something did change and I needed to see you..."
"Oh, what's that?"
"I am to be engaged... with a woman..." I hear as I am attaching the rabbit above the fire
"Of course with a woman. Is she nice? Do you like her?"
"My father chose her for me. It is a union that will benefit both of our families."
