Warm Tidings

Lost pride

" well.. I thought she would be back by now " ..I stammered out .
I tried my best not to sound at least bit worried
It seemed that Freja was just blowing off some steam at first .. she wouldn't really leave me alone with Aymon would she ?
I mean she didn't even take anything with her that was of worth or to help her survive out here .
" Should we look for her ? " As Aymon relaxed a little bit more
And gestured me to help him up .
" Just let's give her some more time ,ok? "
Aymon just looked at me
He knew that I was worried but yet wanting to keep my distance from Freja
" Besides ... It's not good to just leave the camp and leave one person behind , anything can happen out here and you have to be ready for it " I just looked back at Aymon as he only nodded in agreement .
And as we both laid down for the night I stayed wide awake

Even tho I have know Freja for so long and spent are whole child hood together , there are still things she had hidden from me .
Im not sure what but ..Now that I have come to think about it
She never told me how her parents passed on or where she was from
I know it may seem like I'm" nit picking " as some people say but ...It's something I've always wanted to know ..
But at the same time it's nothing to make a big deal about and it's not something to mention about when Freja gets back .

....
It became morning and as I waited for any sign of Freja I heard nothing but cricket's and sounds of nature as I just sat there like I had a ladle up my ass
Aymon had not woken up yet and I didn't want to wake him due to him needing his rest .
I got up and out of the tent as I circled around the camp
As I pray to see her not far off ..But nothing .
Was Freja really gone ..?
I just took a seat on a near by log and just waited and as I took water from my canteen and put it in the pot to boil as I threw a couple of leeks in , the fire wasn't really at it's best so I added more dry grass
And as morning seem to pass my hopes were very low .
What if something happened to Freja ?
A

s I heard a shuffle from the tent
I turned around to look at the noise and all I saw a figure underneath the tent sheet struggling to get out
" Nari !! "
Aymon was wrestling the tent as best as he could as he almost stubbled over the fire and boiling pot .
' Aymon ! " I tired grabbing him and pulled him away from the direction he was headed
" Aymon stop ! " But as he didn't stop panicking he feel over on his side and as he let out a groan the poor elf laid in defeat and kept the tent over him .." Aymon what the actual hell !? " As I just looked at the elf at this point I couldn't even see his face so grabbing what was left of the tent I slugged it off of him .
" Remind me if the odds are up against a piece of fabric stay out of the way " I just sighed and Aymon laid there with the most stupidest childish smile I ever seen on someone
And as the elf took my remark in he laughed .
" You almost ruined breakfast Aymon "
" My apologies " he laughed a little more as he helped himself up off the ground
" Has your friend showed up ? "
He asked as he rolled up the tent " no sadly .."
" Oh well we should go look for your companion then aye ?"
I nodded in agreement to him
As he finished his task
" So what is the connection between you and your friend ?" He asked as he sat down next to me as I kept stirring the pot
" Me and Freja grew up together in Riften we have known each other a very long while "
" Aye there is nothing like a freind to company one in such times " he replied
And he was right, I couldn't imagine being out in the wilderness and in Skyrim traveling the roads alone ... Oh Freja .
Aymon finally saw the look on my face
" Why are you persistent to help find her " I beckoned a little

" Because you can't fight hate with hate , you do that and it just fuels it and influences ignorant people "
