Warm Tidings

Restful Travel's

Nothing more had been said .
This was the first time Freja had been talked down to like a child ..
I'd be wrong if I said I didn't enjoy watching it .
But lately Freja was a different person .. ever since I decided to help Aymon in his time of need it still pulls at me to figure out why she hated the elf so much .
When Aymon decided to get on my horse and take the reins .. I found it ..Well awkward  since this man just  was bound and pulled by a rope not too long ago .
This man was quick to take charge and he didn't mind helping me up on the saddle etheir
I didn't want to put my arms around him due to the tension in the air
But nothing was said between the two .. nor did Freja look back
..Didn't this man say he was related to Queen Ayreen ?
If that's so then we got a pardon then or we are in deep shit and should be on the low about things .
The last thing I wanted was to go into a storm cloak city with the Queen's nephew !  
I didn't want to say much .. well I didn't want to say anything at all in fact but I had questions that needed answers from Aymon ,
If we escaped with the Queen's newphew what danger does that put me and Freja in ? .

" Aymon ..? " I tried to sound as soft spoken as I could .
Aymon was following Freja as she took the lead to head straight towards  River wood , and we had a far journey to go not to mention .
"Aymon ? What were you doing back in Riften ? "
Aymon just looked over his shoulder a little bit
But I could tell he wanted to tell me to mind my own business
But I guess he figured that I've helped and we'll I guess in a way saved the man's life ?
He could at least  give me some answers .
" I was there for imperial and Thalmor business and just passing through , that is all you need to know "
His voice was so smooth yet harsh at the same time ,
Even if you were in a dark room and couldn't see the man
Just by his voice alone you could tell he was an altmer elf
His accent was that deep .
" You said you were related to Queen Ayreen ? "
As if I didn't already thought he was just blowing that out of his ass .. I had a feeling in my gut that this man was telling me the truth .
He certainly has no reason to lie .. does he ? 
" Yes " he said a bit to boldly .
" Listen since your .. with the Thalmor and related to Queen Ayreen i think it's best if we stay low in case of Ulfric's Storm cloaks  "  at this point I was holding on more tight to the saddle to not fall off .
In honest truth .. I can be very clumsy and shifting myself to not touch Aymon was causing it .
" Of course " as he said a bit more relaxed  and the elf began to lay back !
What was this man doing !!?
Almost falling off I grabbed Aymon's upper half and held onto him
" One moment you help me and patch me up and now you're afraid to touch me ? Don't tell me I'm filthy to you ?" Aymon began to laugh .
This elf was jesting ..
And for the second time I caught a glimpse of Aymon's smile .
" No that's not it !?! " I stammered out
" That's not it at all ! Your hurt and I just didn't want to .."
Aymon laughed once more that cut me off
" Calm down girl I only jest with you "
As I held onto the man carefully I could tell this elf .. wasn't really proper in all manners ..
He jokes like a child would.
...
After more then a few hours of riding we had came to a stop .
It was gonna get dark soon and we had to set up camp
And for once Freja decided to use the tent ..Thing was we all had to sleep under it and I'm not sure how she feels with sharing a tent with an elf .
Freja still had not spoken a single word or looked at Aymon or me  .. and I could tell she did not enjoy Aymon's jest or me and Aymon's giggling session .
Freja had gone out once more as  she finished setting up the tent and I could tell she wasn't gonna hunt etheir .
Hunting was never Freja's thing
But I didn't mind that she was gonna blow off some steam at least
" What did you say your name was again ? "
Aymon's voice had took me off guard a little as I was putting the bed rolls in the tent
" Nari " I said as I got up and out of the tent ,
I looked over to  the white haired elf against a tree.
He was resting himself as he was opening up his bandage to check his wound
" Like ..The flower ? " He looked up at me for a short second
As he un wrapped the cloth around him

" Don't, I'll re bandage and clean up your wound tonight " I barked out
" I think you've done enough for me " he grunted as he did his best to stand up straight again
"Look ..I'm sorry about Freja "
" Don't be I'm sure she has good reason to be " as he sat down carefully on a log .
I then took out jerky from an elk out of my satchel  that I had hunted and saved , jerky was one of the things that I could perseve with salt and had it last awhile
While on our journeys me and Freja always kept rations and as much food we could preserve and always looked out for water sources
It wasn't always easy considering
Freja's luck with animals ..We always came across a few salughter fish here and there
,Giving the jerky and a bottle of Mead to Aymon as I smile a little
" Take it the Mead will help if your in pain " as I hand him the bottle
" Lass .. I don't drink " he said as he looked at me
" You don't drink !? " I looked at him thinking he was pulling my leg
" I don't drink lass , just cause you found me at an inn dosen't mean I drink ..I could have just been looking for a warm bed "
He smiled at me .
" Well ok then my prince  Aymon "  as I mocked him as I bow my head
The elf just laughed
He didn't take offense  to what I did .
Looks like me and Aymon have the same sense of humor .
...
It had been an hour or so since Freja had been gone and worry started to eat away at me
Freja may have been an ass recently but it didn't mean I cared less about her .
We were raised to gather and I know her better then anyone else
Aymon had ate and was resting as he talked my ear off as the sun fell
I didn't mind it honestly and if anything it helped me worry less
  After I checked the horses I went into the tent to tend to Aymon  .
Unwrapping the wound as I poured water on the gash to clean it and more plants into a new bandage .
Basically the same process like the first time but instead I poured mead onto the wound as he flintched in pain
I had heard soilders pouring mead onto their wounds to stop infection the thing was it burned like hell and I didn't have much to work with after I had already given Aymon my last  potion Aymon then sat up a little to look at me .

" It's getting to late out , where is your friend ? "
