*Aden is running around the yard, there are three expansive fields, growing tall with crops, a decent sized farm house with a largish barn, the smell of soil and water and wood in the air*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:04:42 PM)
After calling Anne and asking to talk, and yes she'd sounded on the verge of tears on the phone, Sigyn drove out to Mark's farm to see Anne and Aden. She carried a large, cookie bouquet and stuffed squirrel and made her way to the farmhouse to rap on the door with her knuckles. The girl wore a pair of dark oversized shades with oval plastic rims that hid most of her face, and an aquamarine tube top beneath a cut-off tee with a blue butterfly design. Her shorts were white, and her flipflops simple. Lubrication on the large, visible tattoo on her side gave evidence to the recent touch-up it had received by Serenity's hand... The colors were more vivid, the shading of a better quality than had been previously inked.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:06:20 PM)
*she'd left a message, Aden ran up, out of breath and surprise surprise, no clothes. The little boy grins up at her* Hey. Here to see Mommy? She's in the field. Let me show you!
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:07:02 PM)
She nods, and hands him the adorable and realistic plush squirrel. "This is for you. He was my friend but now he will be yours. His name is Sam..."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:09:15 PM)
*he grins and jumps up to give her a hug* Thank you! *he takes her hand and tries to go at a run toward the closest field*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:09:43 PM)
She reaches takes his hand. "This is for you and your Mama..." she smiles. "We will ask if you can have one?"
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:09:54 PM)
Speaking of the cookie boquet.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:09:59 PM)
(bouquet)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:11:29 PM)
(And of course she snuggles him liking his sweet and sunshiney smell... A smile crossed her features. "You are exactly the person I needed a hug from today..." She told him with a tousle of his hair as they move toward the field.

Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:16:52 PM)
Yeah! That's great! Mommy makes great cookies, too! Can I have a cookie now? *he drags her toward the field, *
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:17:14 PM)
*he grins and turns and gives her another hug*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:17:28 PM)
"If your Mama says yes... we don't want to ruin your dinner..." she grins. "These cookies are pretty - but will not be as good as your Mama's.... Of this... I am sure."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:18:04 PM)
She squeezes.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:19:43 PM)
*he nods and holds on, then jumps down and leads her into the field, unerringly to Anne hoeing... yeah, they do it old style, but no poisons, either. Anne smiles when she sees her, despite the dirt smeared on her. Her long hair pulled back into a braid* Sigyn! Hi!
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 6:21:20 PM)
brb
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 6:23:48 PM)
"Anne...." she walks toward her, and leans to embrace her not minding the dirt nor the sweat. "I'm so glad you could see me... Can Aiden have a cookie? Then I believe he and Sam have an adventure to find....." she smiles, in her own gentle way trying to admit that she needed some private time with the Mother. She hefted the cookie bouquet. Perhaps he could take it inside for us?"

*Anne nods, tilting her head at her* Aden, you got the basket? Please set it on the kitchen table and you can have one cookie. Where are you going to put the backet? *he grins* On the kitchen table, and then I can have a cookie! *Anne smiles and nods, bending to kiss his head* One cookie, mind you. Now get going! *she smiles as she watches him go, then starts leading Sigyn toward the house* Are you alright, honey?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 9:49:06 PM)
Sigyn pulls her glasses from her face, and pushes them into her hair. Anne can clearly see the distress in her eyes. "No.... no I'm not.... I've fucked everything up so badly.... and... I don't know how to make it right...."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 9:49:13 PM)
She lifts her hands, opening them helplessly.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 9:50:03 PM)
*she wraps an arm around her, giving her a tight, one armed hug... the hoe in the other hand* What's happened? Is it between you and Mads?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 9:53:03 PM)
"And me and Lukas..." she admits miserably. A hand lifts to press in her hair and it is obvious that it is with effort that she holds back tears. "I have been kissed twice this week and both times it has made me miserable...."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 9:55:29 PM)
*she arches a brow at her, setting the hoe against the barn, under the eave and going to the waterspout to clean her face* Alright, so tell me from the beginning.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:00:24 PM)
"When I first moved here... I became friends with Mads and Lukas... we did lots of things together... but then Lukas became more and more busy... and Mads and I started spending more time together.... "Not... in a sexual way...." She sighs...... "... and not in a romantic way... at least... I didn't think so.... " She purses her lips. "A couple of days ago, Mads kissed me... it was... harmless enough.... but.... he had... intentions.... and he said so. I told him that I loved him dearly- and.... that our age difference would not be an obstacle I could ever work though. He is old enough to be my Father... and possibly my grandfather. His youngest child is still ten years my senior...." She scratches her eyebrow, and shakes her head. "I called Lukas because... he knows both Mads and me... and... I thought that I could talk to him about it..." Her eyes flash with anger... "His response was... if... if I needed to get laid... he and I could ah.... with.... no strings.... after he kissed me.... um.... It wasn
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:01:41 PM)
"... it wasn't... a.... long and breathtaking kiss but.... I... I... have never felt anything like it.... and... then... I told him that... I... wasn't the kind of girl who wanted to be... just... a lay.... I want a mate... I'm... I'm a virgin... you know?" she stumbled... losing pace and looking toward Anne to see her take on the situation.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:03:19 PM)
*she nods and gives her another hug* So you've been really clear with Mads... what did he say when you said you weren't interested?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:03:29 PM)
"That... it wasn't good enough for him."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:03:34 PM)
Her shoulders slump.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:03:50 PM)
"He sent the cookies today.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:05:51 PM)
So he just ignored what you said?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:06:44 PM)
"Yes.... I've been avoiding him... I... think I should avoid Lukas too - because... he... he really hurt me."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:08:12 PM)
*she tilts her head at Sigyn* Do you think that's the right thing? To let other dictate what you will do, even if it's just by their presence?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:08:36 PM)
She shakes her head. "It hurts so much to think of either of them..."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:08:52 PM)
"Mads... I don't want to hurt him... and Lukas... he is only going to hurt me."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:10:44 PM)
*she sits down on the grass and leans back on her hands* They're both hurting themselves... I think Mads is lonely... and Lukas, he has so much potential. Did you hear what that dishonorable, shit for brains aetling in the coastal sept did? *her voice doesn't rise, but it does get harder... and did she just swear?*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:11:31 PM)
"Yes..." Her cheeks flare. "She is not known to me, nor have I been able to ask my Grandmother about it... but... I ... plan to speak with her soon. I need her wisdom."

Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:15:55 PM)
Sigyn... I don't think you should let them decide where you go or what you do. I think you should clearly state your case again to Mads next time you see him, and send any presents that seem to be taking things in a romantic direction back to him. The age thing... it's a significant thing. When I first met Scratchy, I thought he was more than a cliath... He should be much further along. Now, I think he will grow with his potential, but just because I'm okay with the difference in our ages doesn't mean everyone can do it. Scratchy doesn't have any kids, he doesn't have any significant exes... Mads needs to back off, and you need to tell him that.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:16:00 PM)
(was saving the post)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:16:45 PM)
She nods. "Yes. I have... and will again.... " She agrees.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:17:26 PM)
As for Lukas... does he know that he hurt your feelings? What was his response when you said you weren't out to get laid?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:17:54 PM)
Her cheeks burn with the humiliation.... ".... that he could get what he needed elsewhere with less headache..."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:20:40 PM)
*she moves over and gives Sigyn another hug* And what did you say?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:22:11 PM)
"That... my tattoo... would... take a few weeks to heal... that... I couldn't see him at the spot where we sometimes swim together... thet... I hoped it... gave him time to miss me... and... he became.... very ... angry... and... he left... I... was trying to be light-hearted.... ".... I told him that he could remain my... Bruder..." but... he did not appreciate my humor....
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:24:43 PM)
*she winces a little, letting the other girl lean against her* Do you want Lukas? Or were you talking to him because you felt close to him? I mean... were you trying to make him jealous with Mads' attention?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:25:29 PM)
"No.... jealous... never... it... didn't cross my mind... But.... do I want him... yes... My relationship with Mads... has been... like family.... like home.... like it would be with any other gentleman his age..."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:26:14 PM)
She tried to explain. ".... I was lonely..... Mads... is lonely.... we fish... we work on things together.... it is.... very.... not like that..."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:26:43 PM)
*she nods* But you are attracted to Lukas. Do you have feelings for him?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:27:45 PM)
"Yes.... he is a fine man.... it is like your Scratchy.... he does not realize his full potential. He is a well-recognized Garou in my Sept.... I... never imagined I'd ever be close to him... and being close to him... is...." She splays her hands. "..... I care very much for him."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:28:09 PM)
".... but.... I will not be his whore."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:28:42 PM)
Here eyes flash with an artic chill, frozen in her determination.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:29:25 PM)
(arctic)
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:31:09 PM)
He's well recognized here, too. *she nods in confirmation of that, in support* Tell him straightforward how what he said made you feel, that you were just confiding in him and that what he said made you feel like he doesn't value... you... and that you're worth more than that. Other than that, you just have to decide if you still want to be friends with him and if you're able to... Because at this point, you've as much as said you won't have the kind of relationship he's outlining.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:32:08 PM)
"I... think I made the way I feel.... very clear.... Really, I did..."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:33:44 PM)
"But you are right... perhaps... my actions.... have... caused this... another talk with him.... Oh.... I don't want to think about it.... but... it may be best."
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:39:06 PM)
I don't think you were clear. I think you were clear that you wanted him, but you don't have to wait for him to not be a jerk, and you shouldn't give the impression you will. From what you've said... it just sounded awkward. I think just letting him know that you were hurt that he would think that about you is good... other than that, you can't expect to change him, only you. So just concentrate on what you want to accomplish and Lukas can do what he wants with his relationships.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:41:58 PM)
She nods. "Thank you, Anne.... that sounds... very reasonable. I knew it would be best to come to you... I value your friendship...." She moed close, and gave her a tight hug once more.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:42:59 PM)
*she smiles and gives her another hug as well* I know it's not easy. I'm sorry it's so complicated right now.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:48:10 PM)
She huffs, "Nothing that is worth it is never easy. I think that with Lukas there is hope. He is obviously attracted to me.... or... he... wouldn't have offered.... what he did... at least he... thinks somewhat of me.... " Her mouth quirks with wry humor and she leans close and says with a wrinkle of her nose, ".... may at least -that- much of his desire burn him as pain him as he has pained me...."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:48:39 PM)
(and pain)
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:49:12 PM)
And just so you know, I value your friendship, too. Don't wish that on others... Pain begets pain. So just... let it go.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:51:07 PM)
"I was teasing... mostly.... " she grins.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:52:22 PM)
*she laughs* Yeah. Oh! Since you're here, do you want to see the cradle Scratchy made me? For our babies?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:54:24 PM)
"Yes!" she smiles, her face brightening. "I love babies.... I'll have you know that I come prepared with a tried and true babysitting kit...."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 10:55:06 PM)
"I am an excellent swaddler, diaperer, and my cuddling skills are highly rated..." she continues with a giggle as they walk.
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 10:56:32 PM)
*she laughs at that, leading her into the house... where Aden is gazing longingly at the cookie tree. Anne tickles him from behind and lifts him into her arms, turning him* I'll keep that in mind... I have to get the babies first, though.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 11:08:49 PM)
"Have you started to plan a ceremony - for a marriage - or is this something you will not do?"
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 11:10:05 PM)
*she blushes a little* I haven't started planning, but I'd like one. I mean... we're mates, but I'd like it to be fully recognized... the whole white dress, that kind of thing.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 11:12:04 PM)
"You should... I like weddings too.... I will happily go through dozens of frilly catalogs with you!"
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 11:16:52 PM)
*she chuckles* I might just make it. I don't want anything... really extravegant.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 11:17:14 PM)
"Yes.... but you can still get lots of ideas..."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 11:19:34 PM)
Sigyn politely glances around. "You have a lovely home..."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 9, 2011 11:20:04 PM)
(phone give me ten minutes)
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 11:27:43 PM)
*she smiles, leading her upstairs... to the left of the staircase is a living room, on the right on the other side of the kitchen is a stairway down. She leads her to the right once they reach the hall, showing her into the first room. It's a nice size with a king sized bed, a dresser, and not a whole lot else except a beautiful, ornately carved crib with a tree, individual leaves standing out, all handmade*
Anneliese Adler (May 9, 2011 11:28:31 PM)
Thank you. It's all Mark's, really. I've just done a little painting and fixed a few holes.
