Mort’s words caused the Commander to laugh, shaking her head in amusement. “Then this must be quite the special date,” she winked. She had weighed her options here. She could have gone for Mother’s Heart. They would make their way past the guards properly, she expected. But as soon as they would get to her ‘place’ there, there would be no privacy. Not even the smallest bit. There was a reason she did not live there. It was as if they needed her every second of the day as soon as she was in reach. Commoners were not allowed to come to the Watch without the permission of the Command, so there she had some peace. Sounded worth the travel if you asked her.

The Commander worked her way back up on her feet and held her hand out to him. He would not need her help up, but she felt like the gesture could be appreciated, still. He had put himself down on his knees for her, showing absolute submission. She was not having it. She would be here for him just as much as she was here for her people. Calmly she walked up to the dagger she had dropped earlier, to pick it up and put it back in place, before raising a brow at Mort. “I’m sorry for turning your visit into a mess,” she told him, shaking her head slowly, as she started to walk.

It was good to hear her laugh again. It took away the last remains of stress and fear that was still in the air. It was closure. ”I couldn’t agree more”, He replied, a very satisfied expression on his face. He was curious as well, to be honest. He had no idea where exactly she lived if it was not in Mother’s Heart, as that was the only place he knew existed in this vast wilderness. It was, on the other hand, not a surprise. The Children kept to themselves most of the time, so he guessed there were more secrets cluttered around this place than in the whole of Fallen Skies.

When she offered her hand, he accepted and swiftly got up to his feet again. He wouldn’t have gotten up first, still a bit weary about sudden movements around her. He watched as she picked up the other dagger and put it away. “I’m sorry for turning your visit into a mess,” She said, shaking her head. Mort joined her by her side again as she started walking. ”It’s not a mess, it’s an adventure”, He said with a cheerful smile. He got to see where she lived. If that wasn’t exciting, he didn’t know what was.

It had been well over an hour when they reached the Watch. It had… a different feel to it. Where Mother’s Heart, at least to her, felt open and cozy, the Watch felt… cold. It was empty, always in the shade of the trees and the mountain and the houses were actually built out of stone. As the village was attached to the side of a mountain, it was safe from most natural disasters. The mountain, Mother’s Peak, was considered holy. It was the place for events like the Conclave, though those were hosted at its peak, which was still quite a climb from here. The village itself was… empty. Very few people lived here and those who did, kept to themselves. After all, it was the place they used to rest. Where they went for business or sleep. They did not come here to socialize and they never would.

Lexa let out a relieved sigh after she had opened the door to her place, which was at the head of the village, following up some stairs. Normally Saggi would be here, but she expected him to find his way home soon enough. He traveled between the two villages on his own quite often. “I think this is one of the very few times where I do not prefer Mother’s Heart over this cold place,” she sighed, looking back at Mort. It was better inside, though. Where she kept… candles. Lots of candles. And fur.

The walk through the forest had been quite enjoyable. He had never seen a forest like this, and he loved to explore new things. On his way here he had been running as straight as he could, without really paying attention to the surroundings. But now he had to keep a human speed, which gave him time to actually look around. When they got closer, he immediately noticed the huge mountain standing right next to the village. Of course, he figured, the village was built in the shadow of this mountain for some reason. He would ask her, but he patiently waited. The silence almost seemed.. Sacred. It didn’t feel good to be the first one to break it.

So he followed her quietly, until she let him inside what had to be her house. “I think this is one of the very few times where I do not prefer Mother’s Heart over this cold place,” She sighed. He pulled up the corner of his mouth slightly. ”This place just needs a cosy fire, that’s all”, He mentioned jokingly. When he actually inspected the room, he noticed the candles almost right away. They were hard to miss, to be honest. ”What’s up with all the candles?” He asked, amused. It felt like she was hoarding all the candles of the whole county in here.

The candles. Of course he noticed, they were… hard to miss. To say the least. Lexa pulled a hand through her hair and smiled. “This place feels like the even a ghost would run away without the candles,” she told him with a sigh, before she looked at her hand for a second. Maybe… “Could I ask you to take care of the fire and lights? I’ll… get this done real quick,” she spoke, noticing that the darker red of the blood had become more clear on the piece of cloth. She could pretend to have manners and take care of everything herself or have him wait in darkness, but they were probably just better off like this.

She had made her way to the bathroom, where she threw away the cloth and took off her coat. She got rid of all the belts and ended up with just her shirt and the black pants. She cleaned the cut and noticed it was deeper than she had thought at first, but still nothing to worry about. A scar that would be visible for the rest of her life, but that was fine. It was not like it was her only one, after all. She got rid of the warpaint and the Commander mark on her face, before she made sure once more that the wound was properly covered. With that she stepped back into the living room, to see what Mort was up to.

Being in her house, felt like invading her privacy. She had been in his room, fair, but it hadn’t been his room. There were no personal items in there, as he had none except for a bunch of clothes and a couple books he had received from his sire when he had left. He had left everything else behind in his old room back at the villa. And even though he would surely allow her to see it and take a look around, he also knew that would never happen. She had to stay here, with her people. The candles were a surprise. He hadn’t thought she would have taken the time to actually bring an aesthetic in her room. Or at least, not like this.

When she disappeared into another room, he walked over to the fireplace and stacked some logs on top of each other. Luckily everything he needed was right there, so he got a fire going in no time. He tended the flames until he was sure they would catch onto the bigger blocks. After that, he took a candle and lit the wick in the fire. It took him a while, and he didn’t light all of them, but eventually the room was dancing with little flames everywhere. After he was done, he sat down on the couch, making himself comfortable in the pile of fur, patiently waiting for her to come back.

The woman walking out of the other room again, was almost a whole different person than the one he had met today. It was still a bit strange to see her switch like that, but at least this look wasn't new to him. It gave him a familiar feeling, her, the fireplace, the fur. It felt good. "Care to tell me where we are exactly?" He asked, curiously. That mountain had been on his mind ever since he had seen it, with that mysterious vibe around it. He couldn't exactly pinpoint it, but there was something going on with it and he hoped she could tell him what it was.

Lexa made her way to the couch, to carefully take place next to the vampire. She trusted him. As he looked at her, she just felt happy that it was such a different view than what he had looked like when he had smelled the blood. She wondered if he’d ever be able to control it, though the doubted it. It was part of the curse and he had to live with the lust for blood for the rest of his eternal life. A sad thought. She was not sure if she would be able to handle it.

When Mort asked his question, a little smile appeared on her face. “This is Mother’s Watch,” she started to explain. “It is typically only visited by the Command of Vanaheim. Meaning my most trusted Warriors and advisors,” she then told him. Her personal guards, the people who had meant a lot for Vanaheim… Those people. “It’s probably the only stationary village in all of Vanaheim, guarded by the Mother’s Peak.” For a second she fell quiet. “Which is the mountain where most events are hosted,” she went on, her voice more silent than before. The Conclave.

The atmosphere in the room was completely different from the moment the fires were burning. The orange hue masked the stone walls. It strangely felt familiar, he had thought this before. He couldn’t really remember what it was though, until Lexa came back into the room. Then the realisation hit him. The way the candles reflected in her eyes made him feel that same warmth he had felt when they were standing in the pond together. A warmth he couldn’t explain. It couldn’t come from within him, but at the same time, it was. And she was the reason why. The spark that ignited a fire and chased away the cold inside him.

When she sat down next to him, he shifted his body slightly so it was turned towards her. Not even consciously. It almost worked like gravity, the way she seemed to pull him. Again, he took in the information she was sharing. It worried him a bit that she had taken him all the way here. What if someone caught them? Would she get in trouble? He decided not to ask immediately, as he noticed the slight change in her voice when she was talking about Mother’s Peak. He immediately felt bad for asking. ”How many villages are there in Vanaheim?” He said, casually ignoring the subject for now. Distraction. If she wanted to talk about the Conclave, he would let her, but he decided it would be best not to bring up the subject himself.

She was comfortable. Actually comfortable. Mort shifted his body slightly and she turned hers so she could look at him properly as they talked. It was strange. She had always told herself she’d be open-minded, that she would have someone’s actions decide whether she should trust them or not, rather than prejudice. To not be like her people. To show them how it should be. But, with this guy… The moment she had offered him her help, things had just gone a certain way. A way things had never gone before. She had opened up completely and he felt… safe. Like home. Stupid. She barely knew the guy, right?

When his voice sounded, she smiled. An understandable question, as foreigners found it weird to believe that it was actually true. “Two,” she told him. “There’s Mother’s Heart and Mother’s Watch,” she went on. It was very little, meaning that the population of Vanaheim was incredibly small for an area this big. Not weird if you considered their traditions and the place they lived in. “There are some people who live away from the villages, but that is all.

The way in which they sat here, comfortably on her couch, would make an outsider think they had been doing this for years. It felt so natural. Peaceful. As if there was nothing outside these four walls. For the time being, it wasn’t complicated. He knew that he couldn’t lie to himself forever though. Eventually he would have to leave again. It would be better if he would never come back after that. But he already knew that was a lost cause. It was hard to explain what it was about her that attracted him so much. He doubted there were enough words to even describe it, even if he could figure out what exactly he was feeling.

The conversation went on, as he casually changed the subject. He didn’t want her to end up feeling sad. There were no ducks to fix it this time. ”I see”, He replied with a nod. She had been sharing so much about herself that he almost felt like he was falling behind. So he decided to give some input as well. ”Where I’m from, or well, where I lived for twenty years”, He corrected himself. ”There was one big capital city, surrounded by some smaller ones. Then where I lived, it was only my sire’s villa and a small farm where we would keep animals for the humans living with us. We didn’t need much aside from that. Sometimes he would take me to one of the villages, when I was still human”, He told her, recalling the facts as he was speaking. ”The only time I visited the capital, was when I just arrived, but I don’t remember much from that”, He then admitted with a soft smile. The young boy had been in too much shock to pay attention to his environment back then.

A vampire. A foreigner. Who would have thought? If only her people could see him the way she did, all of her problems would be fixed. As she sat there, their bodies close. It felt like he radiated heat, though she knew that was impossible. It was a strange feeling, but she could not say she minded. The one thing keeping her at bay was the thought that they would probably not keep this going. That the time would inevitably come where she could not afford to waste time on personal leisure. Where he would have to follow his paths too. It saddened her, so she pushed the thought away.

He told her about the village he came from. About how different it was from here. She listened carefully, trying to keep her gaze fixed on his eyes as he spoke. “Do you miss it?” she asked him when he finished his story, slowly raising her brows. She knew why he moved here, but did he miss the place he had lived? The villages, the culture. “It must be quite different from Rhoynar,” she went on. That it was different from Vanaheim was no surprise.

If there was one lesson he had learned from Edmund, it was to enjoy every moment. Especially in mortal company. The elder had lost so many people in his life he could probably fill a whole book. But it hadn’t kept him from making new connections. He had warned him it would be the loneliness that would be hard to deal with. Even harder than the bloodlust that came along with the curse. Mort didn’t think the other meant this though. It was all too comfortable. Probably because he was still young, in both terms. A young human and a young vampire. Human emotions were still very intense, and he couldn’t think as rational as his sire yet.

Nothing would stop him from following his advice though. He enjoyed every second he spent near her, even if it meant living in the illusion that everything about them was normal. ”I can’t really tell”, He admitted. ”I find new things very exciting”, He continued with a little smirk. ”But back there, everything was.. Certain”, He then said. He didn’t have to care for himself like he had to now. ”Oh it is”, He chuckled. ”Rhoynar is.. Wild, in a bad way?” He tried to explain.

Just as he wanted to get deeper into the matter, his enhanced hearing picked up another heartbeat. The vampire tensed up and tilted his head slightly, a frown appearing on his face. A faint sound of claws on stone gave away the presence of an animal. ”Do wild animals sometimes wander through here?” He asked quietly, as if the beast could actually hear him and bad things would happen if he did.

He found new things very exciting. Well, depending on what those new things were, she could agree. Though she often took a distance from anything new, had to find something in there that would make it worth her time, her trust. It was part of the nature of most people in Vanaheim, after all. New was terrifying, because anything new could cause a change. And if your life was fine the way it was, why would you want change? Why would you risk anything? They had dealt with too many losses to deal with silly risks like that. Though, over time, it went too far. To the point where they got completely seperated from the world. Something that Lexa did not want happen to herself.

‘Rhoynar is… Wild, in a bad way?’ Mort tried to explain and Lexa laughed. “I’d say it is pretty calm,” she said. “I feel like it is… distant. Everyone is busy with their own thing,” she explained. It was fun how they both saw these lands differently. She was used to the culture of Mother’s Heart, after all. Wilder than Rhoynar would ever be, but also… closer. Cosier if you belonged there. It had a certain mood to it that no other country seemed to have. A mood only those who were welcome would ever experience.

Mort’s question caused Lexa to raise a brow. “No, they avoid the village,” she told him. At this point, she tended to forget that there was indeed one wild animal that entered the village. One that even managed to work his way into the house if there was a window or door open somewhere. “What is it?” she asked.

Apparently they didn’t share the same opinion about Rhoynar and the cities that were built upon the islands. She described them as being calm. ”Maybe it’s because of the drunk men in the streets all the time”, He grinned. Even in the early morning, they seemed to stumble in and out the many bars and brothels without ever going home. As if some of them really lived there. It was pretty unique. Or at least, for him it was. He hadn’t seen much other cities. Mother’s Heart had looked much calmer to him, but he hadn’t been on the inside of the walls. Either way, in both of these places he had felt.. Like an outsider.

In Mother’s Watch, it didn’t really matter who he was. There was no one around anyway. Or weren’t they as alone as they thought? The vampire was alerted by noise outside the human probably couldn’t hear. Her answer wasn’t very reassuring either. “What is it?” She then asked. Mort looked around for a second, as if he could now see through walls as well. ”I can hear a heartbeat outside and it’s not human”, He replied softly. The doors were closed though, weren’t they?

It wasn’t human. Lexa raised a brow. She tried to think of any situation where a wild animal had entered Mother’s Watch, but could not really think of it happening too often. “Well if it would be a monster, at least we’ll find out soon,” she sighed. She would not fear the wolves, hyena’s or puma’s that were found in Vanaheim. She had dealt with many of them and she would keep doing so. Though an entire pack of wolves could be a problem, they rarely found interest behind the walls and hunted further down the mountains, way closer to falkreath. She had never in her life seen one close to the Watch.

I’ll go take a look,” she then decided. She looked at Mort for a few more seconds, before she sighed and pushed herself up from the couch. She stretched her arms once, before sighing dramatically. Could life not work with her for once? She worked her way out of the living room and picked up her spear in the hallway, closing her eyes and listening if she could hear anything. When she was met by silence, she opened her eyes again. She walked up to the door, spear still in hand, to open it.
