Månen

CH.2

Mathias was making a puppy dog face and begged this foreign Norwegian boy on his knees. The forest floor was dirty but he didn't mind that right now. He really needed to place to stay. Luckily the sound of horses and men had faded away. Finally, after what felt like hours the boy sighted "fine" tired of  The Dane's nagging.

Mathias quickly lighted up into a grin. After Mathias had said thank you a bit to much, the boys shook hands as they introduced themselves. The other boy's name was Lukas. He had a blue tunic matched with a leather belt and leather shoes. 

Mathias noticed that Lukas started to look around himself, clearly looking for something. His eyes glanced from the mossy bolder to the trees all around him.

"EMIL!" Lukas suddenly shouted.

" EMIL! Where are you?"

"My little brother, where is he?"  Lukas started whispering and desperately moving his body around looking for this brother of his.  Mathias didn't know what to do except patting Lukas' shoulder with his hand, Lukas pushed it quickly away. 

"EMMIILLL!!" Now the Norwegians voice sounded really scared. The boy's body was shaking and he looked ready to run. 

"Lukas! I am peeing!" A tiny voice shouted back from behind a tree not that far away. Lukas lowered his shoulders and let out a sigh of relief.
Mathias couldn't help but laugh at the situation and the funny reply.
Earning a death glare from the beautiful and annoyed prince of the forest named Lukas.
"A man gotta do what a man gotta do" Mathias was proud of that sentence. 

Lukas turned away from him annoyed

A little boy came running behind the trees a while later. This boy also had a braided basket and his hair was slightly lighter than his brother's. His clothes were a bit big for the small kid. The tiny boy smiled but quickly hid behind his brother when he saw the stranger. It was clear that they were brothers, they had the same eyes and the same look.

"Emil, this is Mathias and he is going to stay with us for the night"

"Hei " Emil muttered still a bit afraid.  

Mathias bent down to the boy's height.

" Hej, I am Mathias" The smile Mathias gave him made the small boy relax and he gave a small smile back.

As they started walking to Emil and Lukas home, Mathias tried to keep up a conversation. Mathias twiddled his thumbs and tried not to say anything awkward.

"Sooo I pee sometimes too," Mathias said awkwardly to the smallest of the boys. At first, the boy just gave him a confused look. " Well, what an opening line Mathias¨ Mathias thought and facepalmed himself mentally for the second time that day.

"it would be weird if you didn't " Emil answered while giggling shyly as he followed his brother down the path over the forest hill. The sound of birds from not far away surrounded them. The two boys laughed, while Lukas looked slightly irritated a bit ahead of the others.

Mathias kept asking questions as they walked thru the oak forest. To Mathias, it seems like Lukas and Emil had walked there thousand times before. A path through the forest and upwards towards a hill.  Matthias wasn't a boy how liked to keep quiet and he wanted to know more about these brothers.

"How old are you guys? I am 17" He said still with a goofy simile glued to his face.

" I am 6 and Lukas is 16" Emil answered and grabbed his brother's left hand. Now the three boys walked on a line.

"Are we there yet?"

"Do you guys live alone?"

Lucas answered some of the questions with a short answer, Emil sometimes filled in more in detail.

His worries kind of flew away as he walked with the boys he just met. And his childish and funny personality couldn't be hidden anymore. And the knights, well they were forgotten. at least for the now.
