(What a bitch)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:41:14 AM)
(He doesn't like the ass-shot)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:41:16 AM)
(hahaha)
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 5:42:45 AM)
So mads walked off at some point during the discussion. He could no longer handle the talking and the discussion - the strain of the night getting to him. His hoodie hangs off the back of his truck, his tool box open and his cab unlocked. Steps in the muddy grass of the night lead off to the treeline.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:43:43 AM)
Sigyn had moved to check on Mads, and had even followed the trail. He can hear her approach, even before she comes into view
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 5:44:59 AM)
He's laying under a pine tree, on a blanket, with a basket full of whatever was in his car at the time - cheerios, animal crackers, saltines. He has a bottle of wine and one of jack daniels, and is stress eating his way through the food.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:50:30 AM)
The girl moved closer, her head tilting as she approached with caution. "Mads?" she offers. Her brow furrows in concern.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 5:52:39 AM)
He looks up at her, nodding. 'Sigyn.' He says, sitting up straighter from the base of the tree. 'Are you alright?' He asks, his voice heavy in concern.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:57:07 AM)
"Of course. It is over. The Stone of Scorn was given Forgets-His-Place-rhya... A few people are still... drinking... talking.... there..." she gestures back toward the Tribal Grounds.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 5:58:07 AM)
He shrugs, pulling out his pocket knife and uncorking the wine to give his hands something to do. 'I do not care about that asshole. The tribe takes care of its own. I am more concerned with you.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 5:59:28 AM)
"What about me?" She sits down beside him, tucking her dress around her. "... the guy tossed his number at me after being a complete douche-bag. Which... I gave away.... you don't think I would actually consider him, do you?"
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:00:46 AM)
His mask gives way, and he shakes his head. 'No. I... I don't think that you would consider him. I ... ' He pauses, pinching the bridge of his nose. '... I just relived the moment in my head. I wanted him to go away, leave us alone.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:03:41 AM)
She slowly rubs his back.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:06:17 AM)
He leans into her, pulling her into a hug, rubbing her back. 'I....I could not let him hurt you.'

Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:07:09 AM)
He leans into her, pulling her into a hug and rubbing her back into response. 'I.... I could /not/ let him hurt you.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:08:27 AM)
Sigyns arms rise, and she gave him a squeeze. "I somehow think that my gender would have saved me...." she tried humor... she hoped it made him smile.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:11:19 AM)
'Maybe. I don't know.' He sighs. '... Karen has never told me what happened betwen her and her brother. I don't know if he hurt her. I don't know if I ever did enough for my little girl, Sigyn.' He takes in a deep, shuddering breath. '... I can't make that mistake again.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:14:17 AM)
She shakes her head, "Mads.... it -isn't- your fault...."
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:15:24 AM)
'Fault doesn't matter, Sigyn.' He says, pulling back and taking a pull from the wine.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:16:19 AM)
Her eyes fill with concern. "Ask her."
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:18:30 AM)
'She -won't- tell me.' He says, laying back on the blanket.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:19:12 AM)
"Oh, Mads..." she sighs, and rubs his arm. She stays close, offering the comfort of her presence. She says nothing, reaching for the jack, and taking a swig.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:23:12 AM)
'.... I want to preface what I'm about to say.' He says, looking up at her. 'I... I know you have had troubles recently, and... I don't want you to think my behavior tonight is because of that'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:26:52 AM)
She blinks. "... I .... don't understand."
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:28:27 AM)
He smiles faintly, still sad. '... I didn't do what I did to make myself look better in your eyes. I wasn't trying to be a hero, in other words.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:32:57 AM)
She laughs, "Look better?" her nose wrinkles. "You are one of the nicest people I know! How could I think that you are less than awesome?"
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:33:22 AM)
He nods. '... I did it for myself. I took the actions I did not take.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:33:39 AM)
"I understand." she admits.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:34:02 AM)
He sits up suddenly, cupping her face. '... Don't live your life like me, full of regret and sadness.'
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:34:11 AM)
'Or like Karen, full of fear.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:38:05 AM)
She nods, and looks away. "I won't..." she promised.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:38:41 AM)
"I'm not afraid.. Really, I'm not... of anything...."
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:38:52 AM)
This was very nearly true.
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:38:58 AM)
He lets her face go, then kisses her temple, pulling her into a hug. 'It's alright to be afraid, Sigyn. I was terrified to stand up to him.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:39:31 AM)
She nods, and relaxes for a moment with Mads. "I'm only glad that no one was hurt." she admits,
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:40:26 AM)
He takes a moment to just cherish the experience of holding her, running his hands over her hair and rocking her, here in the darkness under the tree, his lips pressed to her temple. She can feel the wetness on his cheeks, and if she tries to pull away, he releases her without struggle.
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:44:40 AM)
Sigyn let him hold her.... She didn't even protest... or seem to notice... She only wanted to comfort him....
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:50:48 AM)
'Sigyn...' He says quietly, resting his chin on her crown. '... please let me say this. I need to say this.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:53:52 AM)
She glanced up, curiosity in her gaze....
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:53:57 AM)
(Cpt Jack's story is on the Forums)
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:53:59 AM)
(I just read it)
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 6:54:03 AM)
'I say this without agenda or any deeper meaning than needs to be there. But you are loved. Here, tonight, after all of the trouble and pain. I need to ... I need to /love/ someone.' He pulls back to look in her eyes. 'Not physically. Not romantically. There has just been too much... anger, too many bad memories tonight. I need something new, something bright.'
Sigyn Víðarr (May 13, 2011 6:58:42 AM)
Her eyes widen, and she shakes her head, tears fill her eyes. She simply shakes her head. "I... do love you Mads.... I love you as an Elder... I love you as a friend.... I love you because you are smart, and funny, and wonderful.... If you were not a scant few years away from the age of my own grandmother...." she falters... she had said it before... she couldn't say it again... "I... have to go...." She squeezed his arm, and kissed his cheek, and stood and walked away..... It was one of the hardest acts that she had ever done... and yet... she felt she had been left with no choice.... She managed to make it to the treeline in a calm manner before she started running... Tears slid down her face and she held tight to the hem of her sundress in her hand as she ran releasing it only when she reached her vehicle. (<3 )
Mads Jacobsen (May 13, 2011 7:01:14 AM)
Alone, in the darkness, he cries. He finishes off the wine, and the jack, and the food he brought with him, and he lays on the blanket, singing songs in his mother tongue to the tree.
