@FromEredLuin — nod.
“I, on the other hand, am merely here to ensure everyone gets along right and proper.”, he added, crossing his arms over his chest and standing tall as she had done.
@FromEredLuin “Ahhh...Víri...Dís can take perfectly good care of herself. I’d even gamble your brother will have his hands full.”, Frerin added with a chuckle, knowing that would get a rise out of the woman.
“Let us not worry. Besides, Thorin keeps a watchful eye on her.” He remarked with a —
@FromEredLuin - I’ve only ever tried to be friends with you an’ your brother.” Frerin shakes his head in disbelief then shrugs. “Never thought I was showing my royal ass...”, he added, though he still laughed again at her predicament.
He was sincere though—in his own way. He had never -
@FromEredLuin - Víri! Whatever will you do?!?! Ha! And a royal at that!”
He leaned against a large oak as if for support and to recover from the hilarity of the realization.
@FromEredLuin “OH HO HO!”, Frerin roared, tossing back his head as if realizing something.
“By my beard—I’ve figured it out—and with little hints at that! Your twin fancies my sister, and ye don’ know how to handle it!” He grinned, a bearded and toothy grin. “Now that is a conundrum, Fair -
@FromEredLuin {Why am I following you then?}, he wondered to himself as he continued to follow.
“Where is that fool of a brother of yours anyway?”, he asked with a grin. Truth be told, he did not know. Víli often wondered about, upon his own path.
@FromEredLuin Frerin nearly rolled his eyes, instead allowing a confused expression to surface upon his features.
“I wonder...” He speaks aloud as if to himself. “What draws the Shield Maiden out into the woods. Is a purpose-or does she seek to escape a question as to what is troubling her?”
@FromEredLuin “Nay! I would never do such a thing!”
He spoke as he called after her, his boots surprisingly quiet through the woods in spite of his size. “When it comes to ale, I do not lie.”, he added, making another round in their back and forth circle.
@FromEredLuin “Nay Víri—it is the truth. I swear it on all the ale in the land!”, he replied, almost too quickly as he took a step to follow her.
He was indeed keeping an eye on things, though he had not specified what exactly.
@FromEredLuin He glances about, his eyes scanning the trees, though he was not looking for anything in particular.
“I was keeping an eye on things...” He spoke nonchalantly, as if attempting to downplay his presence. He rested his hand upon the hilt of his axe, watching the female dwarf.
@FromEredLuin “Agghh!”, he says with a shake of his head, and a raise of his hands, as if in surrender. “You have me! And I knew you wouldn’t buy that.”, he added, that smirk remaining.
“You are no fool Fair Víri.”
@FromEredLuin “Ahhh—“, he began with an over-emphasis. “I decided to pass on the hunt this time. Figured I’d stay around...see what was going on.” He shrugged, knowing she probably would not buy his explanation.
@FromEredLuin Frerin cringed slightly and leaned back as if hit by something. He blinked.
That fury.
“Aye. Noted Fair Víri. I shall not lay a hand to those golden locks.”, he added, the smirk returning once more.
@FromEredLuin Frerin raised a brow, looking to her as he continued to wonder.
He reached forward and pulled the axe from the tree with a strong arm and began to walk toward her.
“Ah come now...you can tell me what troubles you...”, he spoke, though he knew he was playing with fire now.
@FromEredLuin “Now that I can see Fair Víri. I understand quite well my peril.”, he added, the smirk remaining upon his bearded features.
“Now I wonder...”, he spoke, scratching at his beard. “...what could have the Dwarven Maiden so upset...?”
@WarriorOfDurin@FromEredLuin - harvest altogether. Frerin took another swig of water, glancing from one to the other.
“You two enjoy the drink. I’ll keep watch and make sure both your arses are up in the mornin’ for an early start.”
@WarriorOfDurin@FromEredLuin Frerin was looking at the sky, determining the direction of the wind by how it carried the wisps of smoke from their campfire.
He silently listened to the twins converse, knowing full well that a night of drinking with them two would lead them to a late start and missing the -
