The Guardian of The Lamb

An Unsuspected Letter

   Berwald sat with Tino under a tree with Hanatamago. The puppy and child were curled up listening to the giant read them stories. It was day five already of their week and they had already done just about everything they could. They went shopping, fishing, had a picnic, slept under the stars and now they sat in a field of sheep under a single tree reading tales of gods. Hana pushed herself out of Tino's hands and started to chase the fluffy white sheep. Which looked odd because Hana just looked like a tiny sheep herself.

"The End." Berwald finished.

   Tino began to clap and the swede blushed a bit.

"That was great Ber!"

"Ya?"

   Tino opened his mouth to say more but his belly grumbled. The swede looked at him a bit surprised and the Finn began to blush.

"Hungry?" Ber asked.

   Tino nodded a bit embarrassed seeing as they had just ate. Berwald stood up and called Hana. The puppy came running and Tino stood up as well.

"Let's go eat."

*****************************

   The two sat at the dinner table across from each other. Hana ate on the floor beside them.

"When do you think dad will get back?" The prince asked.

"Not sure?"

   Their attention was taken away when another man walked in with a letter in hand.

"Your highness, excuse my interruption but it is a letter from your father." The man said.

"Woah, what a coincidence." Tino said receiving the letter.

   He opened it up and slowly began to read it. He made cute gestures by nodding and sticking his tongue out. Until he read the final paragraph. His eyes flew open and he passed the letter to Berwald.

"He's mad!" He cried.

   Berwald lifted a brow but to the letter reading it slowly. His serious grin turned into a more serious and now very hostile look.

"I don't want to go to Denmark..." The Fin cried.

   Berwald huffed and placed the letter down.

"Finish y're food, we'll pack up later."
