*one could practically keep time by Lukas' schedule. He was taking a break in the sand again, after an hour or so swimming against the tide. His tee shoved beneath his head for a pillow and his feet in the water. He's awake this time though..the water "Alarm" having already found his feet*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 4:41:46 AM)
Sigyn was walking along the shoreine. She wore a pair of cherry red denim shorts, and a faux-layered tank top in red and white. The wind whipped her blonde hair, though she didn’t seem to mind as her bare toes sank into the moist sand nearest the shoreline. Occasionally, she would skirt the incoming tide, though it seemed more a game. Her sandals she carried in hand.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 4:45:31 AM)
*shoulders up onto his elbows, a flicker of a smile as he sees Sigyn appear again, this time..he nods lightly in greeting. Remaining where he is* Should I just figure you're round here every morning now?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 4:47:39 AM)
Her head tilts. "Should I find another beach to walk on?" Her free hand lifts, and shields her eyes from the glint of the sun. A needed breath was taken to stiffle the sigh that tried to escape. Her lips quirk, her smile holding some apology for her intrusion.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 4:51:23 AM)
*he chuckles, looking back at the ocean* I've lived here longer..I've got dibs on this one? *still in those faded cargo shorts, blue collar tan over every exposed inch of skin, this is the habit of a lifetime rather than the effect of any tanning bed*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 4:53:08 AM)
Her lower lip was worried between even white teeth. "Something like that...." Her eyes skimmed his lean form, and tried not to notice the contrast of the sugared sand that clings.... Her gaze was swift to avert itself, casting to the side as she sways slightly where she stands.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 4:58:29 AM)
*he digs one foot in the wet sand, then the other, etting the splashing tide pour more sand in around his feet and bury them idly* Nah. I figure I can share a stretch of beach that isn't mine to begin with. You? Think you can handle that? *still working on letting the tide bury his feet*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:01:03 AM)
She begins to walk toward him then, studying him for a moment. "Maybe.... I would suggest that we thumb-wrestle for it.... But... I think you'd cheat..." She moved to sit shoulder to shoulder with him. laying her shoes aside and resting her hands around her knees as they are drawn upward.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:06:30 AM)
I ain't the cheatin type. *wryly, still working his feet deeper in the sand* But I think if you won I'd have to tell the family to disown me. *succeeding in planting his feet up to his ankles, just letting the water slide in and over his feet, knees high, still propped on his elbows beside her*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:09:43 AM)
"You have the unfair advantage..." She reaches for his wrist, trying to tug it aloft to emphasize the difference in the size of their hands by holding her own fingers inches from his. "Is it then fair to accept a challenge when you know that you will most certainly win?" She sighs, ".... or is it truly dishonorable to concede a battle that you know that you will lose?" she adds, her darkening gaze forcing her to look away.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:14:03 AM)
*shifts his weight and lets her pull his arm up, spreading calloused fingers wide and looking over to note the discrepancy, touching palm to palm with her* Well, according to our laws..Yes, it's acceptable to take on a challenge you're certain of the outcome on..and just as allowable to concede a loss without fighting. Provided the circumstances are right.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:18:08 AM)
She smiles, and licks her lips. His hand to hand contact had caused a visible jolt, and she was trying -very- hard to be so-casually friendy and keep her feelings from her eyes. "... I'm... not talking about rules... there are many rules... There... is a reason for them - of course...." She gave him a glance, tugging her hand away. "I'm talking about... ethics... I suppose..."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:22:13 AM)
*puts his arm back beneath him and shrugs* I'm not Forseti, any more. Probably not the one to ask about that. *looking back out at the ocean* But I don't know that it's any more ethical to deny someone a chance to either exceed or define their limitations. Trying despite what you believe will happen, is the only way to find out what you thought ..is wrong.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:24:10 AM)
"Not... anymore?" her head quickly turned toward him. "What do you mean, not anymore? How can one change the night of their birth?"
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:25:35 AM)
One petitions their Elders, and some Theurge consults with Luna on your behalf, and if all goes well, she gives you a different Auspice. *watching the sea*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:26:22 AM)
She frowns, trying to remember if she had ever heard such stories.... This Sept was strange... persons changing their tribe... and.... their Auspice? "Why?" she asked, before she thought not to. She wanted to know.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:29:21 AM)
For my brother. *simply, quietly* To earn his way into Valhalla for him, because his right to do so was stolen.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:32:53 AM)
She smiles. "Your dedication to family is admirable. But then, you have many admirable qualities..." the compliment was given with a soft smile, Sigyn's gaze on the sea-gulls that swoop and dive just over the surface of the water.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:41:58 AM)
So you insist. *giving a light headshake* Point is, it doesn't much matter. I gave up my life, auspice, and my name, to live for him instead. *adding quietly* It's part of why I tried to point out that you don't know me, Sigyn.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:42:07 AM)
((Mads is a fruitcake))
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:42:19 AM)
(Mads is awsum)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:46:03 AM)
“You’re right… but… I’m going to…” She gave a glance toward him. “…. Oh… don’t worry… I’m not so foolish to think that it will change your opinion of me…. Or think me a… viable candidate for … anything more than friendship…” Her voice had grown quieter, the words thick as she was forced to say them…. But she managed…. “…. I want to know you because … you are an amazing person… with admirable qualities…. Anne thinks very highly of you… I think very highly of Anne… Every one in my home knows your deeded name” she smiles….
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 5:51:56 AM)
Sigyn, while flattering.. that's not the point.. *looking over to her and gesturing with a hand* I'm not living my own life. *trying to phrase it another way* I don't get to -have- a life of my own. I gave it up for Stefan. *watching her to see if she understands*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:52:48 AM)
"I think that .... you and I have a different .... view.... of the situation...."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 5:54:58 AM)
She seemed to want to say more, but... honestly - she was afraid.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:01:39 AM)
.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:01:45 AM)
((kids, back!))
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:02:06 AM)
(It's fine... I just had screen of yellow-doom)
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:02:15 AM)
*wryly acknowledging that much* That..is likely a given. *looking back at the ocean* ((Yikes!))
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:02:32 AM)
"Do you know the story of Heart-scar?"
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:02:45 AM)
An eyebrow arched, and she glanced his way.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:04:18 AM)
(make that Heart-scar-rhya)
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:07:15 AM)
Yes. I do. And, I am not suffering from sort of belief that I'm not good enough, thank you.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:07:40 AM)
She laughs... "No... Lukas... Do you recall the words of the Great Wolf?"
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:08:15 AM)
I do remember Fenris warning.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:11:02 AM)
"Fenris sees into the heart of -all- of his children.... Do you not think that he looked into the heart of your Brother, and found him a Warrior worthy of Valhalla? I do not believe that you can earn your brother's place. I believe instead, that as noble as you, he has already found it. But may his name be a War-cry on your lips during every battle.... may you never recall why it is you strive for his honor... and may you choose a worthy kinfolk, with wide birthing hips who will give you a son to bear his name...." She was prepared to run, at the first flicker of anger... The sea would embrace her... She had little doubt that it was the best place to hide.... in all its vastness....
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:13:09 AM)
(may you always recall)
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:17:56 AM)
And may the Aetling remember her place is not to tell an Adren of his responsibilities to his brother, his Tribe or Luna herself. Let alone the matters of the spirit. *he hasn't taken his eyes from the sea, but his tone is definately a warning* I know the bargain I made with Her, Sigyn, You..Do not. And, little Storyteller.. *finally turning to regard her* Have you heard of the Hand of Tyr?
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:19:34 AM)
"I would happily listen to you tell it..." She looks away, a shiver running through her.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:21:10 AM)
She didn't add that she found him a stubborn male without good reason... She -liked- her hand.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:25:42 AM)
.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:25:54 AM)
Considering that you just admitted you did not even know how exchanging ones auspice was possible..I should think you had the sense not to offer your "advice" on the matter. Not the story, Sigyn. The Camp.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:26:33 AM)
She nods.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:27:25 AM)
My brother belonged to the Hand of Tyr. And while I will spare you the details that don't pertain to you: The Hand believe that the only death that wins entrance to paradise, is in honorable battle. My brother drowned. After an auto accident.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:29:45 AM)
"And you believe this, Lukas?"
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:29:53 AM)
She quietly asked, in a nonjudgmental tone.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:31:26 AM)
"I do not question your Wisdom that is greater than mine." she adds, least she anger him.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:33:15 AM)
He believed it. So I joined the Hand when I asked for this life.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:41:18 AM)
For several long moments she said nothing. Finally, she speaks. "You will forgive me for stating my opinion so brashly, I hope Lukas. I still hold to them. I can not believe that all ones deeds.... all ones actions... all the glory accumulated in a lifetime holds no more weight upon the moment of death than a feather when compared to the nature of demise.... I am ignorant, perhaps - and will try harder to.... reason this for myself..." She shifts, as if she feels that she is a nusiance and wishes to leave him his privacy before she makes her case worse instead of better.... "Perhaps I will seek the counsel of my Grandmother. She is very wise..." she offers a sad smile.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:47:58 AM)
I don't expect you to subscribe to the same beliefs, but neither would I accept your feedback on mine. Feel free to seek the counsel of whomever you like..I would do the same were I dissatisfied with my beliefs. But I'm not. I am content with what I have.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:49:20 AM)
"I know..." she offers, her arms tightening around her legs as she stares into the water. She spoke with resignation, but not resentment.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:49:52 AM)
*acknowledging that for what it is, he nods lightly* Thank you.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:51:50 AM)
"Don't..." she gave a wry smile, her head tilting. "... you have -nothing- to thank me for...."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:52:56 AM)
The first sign that you're actually accepting me as I am, instead of quietly trying to argue me around to your point of view ...compete with legend citations? *snorts and lifts a brow* The thanks stands.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:53:09 AM)
"I want your friendship, Lukas... not your pity...."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:53:52 AM)
I don't pity you.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:55:21 AM)
"You enjoy arguing with me."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:55:54 AM)
Only sometimes.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:56:51 AM)
"Again, we disagree... If I were to call the ocean blue-green you would instead argue that it was green-blue..." She smiled at least, amusement flickering in her eyes.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:56:58 AM)
Others, I am left with a headache and a short temper for the day.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 6:57:47 AM)
"I thought your rejuvinating powers would prevent headaches...."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 6:58:54 AM)
*squints one eye and turns to look at her* ... No.. You're still here. *clearly teasing*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:00:39 AM)
Her hands lifts to cup over her heart, "Oh the arrows... You wound me..." She slumps against his side, forcing him to take her weight as if she had been shot before righting herself.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:02:35 AM)
*chuckles and gives her a light shove when she's ready to sit back up*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:03:58 AM)
She smirks, "At least I know how to make sure you think of me all day.... I'll make sure to give you headaches more often."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:06:13 AM)
That..we can agree on. You most likely will do exactly that. *he smirks*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:09:45 AM)
"I'm getting used to your dose of cryptic cynicism before my morning coffee…” She smiles. ".... it keeps me grounded."
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:12:23 AM)
*tugging his feet free from the sand* And I suppose I'm getting used to missing the other half of my morning swim. *shoving up from the sand as he collects the tee shirt wad and makes an attempt to knock the sand off before pulling his tee on*
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:13:52 AM)
She moves to stand when he does. "You could always tell me to go away. It does work, you know...." she tried to cover the hurt behind the words.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:15:57 AM)
Mm. *ruffling his hair to knock the sand out as he starts back up toward the parking lot* It probably would.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:18:01 AM)
Her hand swiped at her backside and legs as she knocked away the sand... Her sandals she tugged up, shaking them free of dust. After a moment's hesitation, she begins to walk with him toward her Jeep. "Where are you going?" she asks, falling into step.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:18:47 AM)
((RL calls. lol)) To get lunch, hit the forge, and probably spar Tristan for a while. Not necessarily in that order.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:19:26 AM)
She nods... "... and I have a date... don't worry... he's nothing like you..." she winks.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 12, 2011 7:19:40 AM)
She waves and splits paths to move toward her Jeep.
Lukas Vangelis (May 12, 2011 7:20:19 AM)
Thank god.. One of me is enough. *getting in the truck bed to reach through the back window and grab his keys, then hops down and gets in the cab*
