Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 9:52:15 PM)
::the enclosed 8-foot wooden fence is closed, she's either home and her vehicles are in the garage, or not home at all. The house has a light on inside, but a look through any of the windows shows that it doesn't seem anyone is home at first::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 9:53:23 PM)
Kurt pulled up on his Harley, He was dressed in Jeans, t-shirt,a nd a pair of balck converse one-stars, that looked like they had seen better days. He parked the bike, and secured his helmet. He pulled out a wooden box from his saddlebag, and moved to look in teh windows.... not seeing her Kurt realized she might be around back at her forge. He picked up his tools and went back to find her.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 9:59:56 PM)
::the large workshop was dark, the doors closed and locked with a thick padlock -and- a lock and key. There are small chinese lanterns, softly lighting the backyard, and beneath a couple of trees was a gently swaying hammock. Kaia was sprawled in the hammock, iPod was on, teeny music can be heard, a six-pack was on the ground near her, and there were two empties in the six-pack, a third was dangling from her fingers. She had on a pair of jeans and a tank top, freshly showered and barefoot, she looked almost peaceful::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:02:21 PM)
Having her look that peaceful, Kurt almost felt bad disturbing her. He smiled and decided to admire her for a minute and left the wooden box in plain sight for her to see. He'd only linger a bit longer admiring her then he'd be gone... just a few more secs.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:07:42 PM)
::Kaia's eyes opened, and she lifted her beer, still reclining, she just shotgunned her beer... better than most seasoned drinkers, one, long, smooth swallow, before she shook her head a bit, swinging her legs out and rising to her feet, putting the empty in her six-pack, and she stretched, arms above her head, glancing around the yard, her eyes settled on Kurt and she raised an eyebrow, pulling her earbuds out::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:10:36 PM)
Kurt smiled. "Sorry you looked so peaceful I didn't ahve the heart to disturb you. If your busy I can head out. I just came by to drop off this." He motions to the wooden box. "On closer inspection Kurt has a cut on his right ear. He too is also freshly showered and smells of sandlewood. He seemed to be full of energy but trying to subdue it a bit.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:17:02 PM)
::Kaia spreads her empty hands and looks around the calm, serene yard:: It's not exactly hopping here tonight... I was just getting hungry and was going to grab my sushi.. ::she raises an eyebrow to the box, and then looks him over, noting he's all cleaned up.:: Busy day at the forge.... or just getting ready to head to the bars again? ::faint grin on her lips::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:18:45 PM)
He smiled, "No Nothing like that... Kira took me mudding for the first time, and I was covered.. I had mud in palces I don't need to mention around a lady." He smiled back. "Go on.. Open the box.. it's yours."
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:22:48 PM)
::she smiles:: Yes...that's what happens... mud does go everywhere... literally. ::she holds a hand up to stop him:: Yes.... yes. I'm aware of where the mud went. ::smirking and she accepts the box, looking inside curiously, before gesturing with her other hand:: You're welcome to a beer, if you like.
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:26:23 PM)
The box is made of a dark hardwood with a nordic/germanic design going around it, as she opens it there is calf-skinleather holding the razor sharp knife she helped him with last night. When the holdign place for the knife was lifted, there was a small whetstone, a tube of metal polish, and a laether sheath for the blade. "He bit his lower lip as she looked at it. "Yeah I'll have a beer with you.. if you don't mind."
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:28:23 PM)
(one sec, trying to make dinner.... wrists making it difficult)
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:33:51 PM)
::she looks over the box curiously, before she opened it. Tilting her head as she looked inside, she sank back down into the hammock carefully, as she gently pulled the sheath off the blade, studying it, and she smiles:: Now... I'll have to learn to use it. ::she smiles up to him:: Came out very pretty... ::she uses a foot to nudge the six-pack towards him, so he can help himself, and she continues to study it beneath the pale lights::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:42:10 PM)
The balde was quality, and it even showed the folding marks, the blade had been acid etched with a few runes in it and a bird of some sort. The tang was twisted and folded around to make the handle comfortable and fit neatly into the curve of the blade. Kurt took a beer and opened it taking a big drink. and smiled at her admiring the blade. "i can teach you, or if you can find someone better, tehy can teach you, but now you have a knife worthy of a Fenrir aetling." He looked at the knife too, Of course it did... you ahd more than a hand in it's creation." He took another sip of beer. "There's something i wanted to ask you.... Lukas was by the Sept and he mentioned that he found you here beating metal as if it owed you money, he seemed concerned and asked us if we might know why. Kaia, if you want to talk about anything, I'm your friend."
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:51:06 PM)
::she smiles softly and looked to the blade, carefully holding it, and not touching the blade, she smiles again, shaking her head at something, and then placing it back into its sheath carefully. She nods:: Elise and Bastian have offered to teach me... I'm supposed to be going down to the gym to learn from them. ::she tilts her head, raising a brow:: Lukas was here? He didn't say anything. ::she shakes her head:: No, I don't want to discuss it.
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 10:54:57 PM)
"Thats what he said. Ok I respect your privacy, but when you do want to talk about it, I'm here, if you need me." He smiled to her taking another drink from the beer. "Bastian seems like he knows his way around a blade, He'll be a good teacher and you a devoted student, no doubt." He smiled to her his teeth white, and his eyes just as bright.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 10:58:48 PM)
::she nods:: I already discussed it with Elise.. I'm just cooling off now. That's all... ::she looked down to the box and put the top back on, and she nods:: We'll see how that goes. Elise may tutor me... or Lukas will likely be at my first few sessions. ::she smiles:: We'll see how devoted. I don't have a killer mindset..

::he makes his way up to the house carrying a black cooler::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:02:52 PM)
"You don't have to be a killer, but as long as you know how to defend with it is all that matters. Knife fighting is very close quarters and it can get pretty personal." he offerd a smile then chuckled. "If you don't end up using it for fighting it can gut a fish really well, or cut through any type of meat you might want. "The design is based on the viking woman's knife which is basically a utility knife so it's not just for fighting."
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:03:15 PM)
::he knocks and grins a little::
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:05:43 PM)
::the outside of the house is mostly dark, only one light on in the kitchen, and it shows the house is apparently empty. The gate is closed, but there is faint lighting from the backyard, and voices can be heard easily:: I have never been in a fight, Kurt. I've never punched anyone... except my brothers... and they deserved it. However, I don't think it even bruised them, not once. ::she smiles:: I also... don't hunt... and I haven't fished. I'm... mostly a city girl. I didn't grow up on a farm. ::she shakes her head:: However, it will come in useful, and I'll likely have to carry it on me somehow... though... as a resident alien.. I don't think I'm allowed to carry weapons. Lukas wants to teach me to shoot a gun, but I don't think I'm allowed to own one.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:06:13 PM)
::he lets himself into the backyard and knocks on the backdoor::
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:06:44 PM)
::looking curiously to the fence being knocked on, and she speaks up:: Pull the latch and come on through....
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:08:22 PM)
::he steps through and....is wearing of all things a navy long sleaved t-shirt over a navy, blue and yellow kilt....with the black cooler
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:08:51 PM)
::the backyard is lit up with newly place chinese paper lanterns, giving a soft glow. Kaia was sitting in a hammock, also looking newly put up, and Kaia is in a tank top and a pair of jeans. Freshly showered, there is a wooden box in her lap, and a half-drunk six-pack in near her. She gets one look at Thom and grins, shaking her head::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:09:13 PM)
"I know, Kaia, you've explained it to me." He smiled." Use it as a kitchen knife then, it'll work better than any store bought knife." Kurt turned his head to see Thom comming through the gate. "Thom-rhya" He said nodding his head to the man before takign a drink from the beer in his hand.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:10:11 PM)
::he shuts the door behind him:: Hey guys
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:11:11 PM)
::she shakes her head:: Just never had to.... I'm an innocent in that regard. I've never needed to fight, no one ever tried to fight me. ::she shrugs, but then nods:: Yes, I likely will... help me dice tomatoes with deadly accuracy. ::she grins, teasing, and looks back to Thom:: Hey you....
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:12:06 PM)
Hey you ::he pays her a grin that would make harrison ford jealous:: This one had to be brought in a bigger bag :;he holds up the cooler::
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:12:43 PM)
::she raises an eyebrow:: Is it still alive? Or ... was it? ::eyeing the cooler::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:13:22 PM)
"Indeed, You will no doubt vanquish many vegetables with your mighty blade." He grinned at her teasing back. Kurt looked to the cooler thom was carrying with him, curious.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:14:21 PM)
I killed them this morning just for you then put them in a cooler cause I figured you might get mad if I left them on yuor doorstep ::he offers the cooler to her::
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:17:37 PM)
::she laughs:: Only if you fall out of the tree. I'll laugh then. ::she shakes her head and looks to him:: Did it have fur or a little face? ::she looks to him, before accepting the cooler, and peeking inside curiously::
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:18:35 PM)
::he grins as he waits then looks around for a seat
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:20:43 PM)
Kurt took another drink of the beer, a little more than curious as to what was in teh cooler.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:22:24 PM)
See? They had to be delivered like this and not left on yuor doorstep
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:23:52 PM)
Oooooh.... ::dipping her fingers in and popping whatever it was in her mouth. There is Kaia on the hammock, and no other seating nearby, unless you want to go onto the stairs, or the ground.:: Mmm, they need to go inside and be eaten properly... ::she looks to them both....:: A word.. for both of you. I've been drinking.. and I'm not putting up with -any- bullshit tonight. Just .... so you both know. Pizza should be ready soon... ::she looks to Thom and smiles, hugging her cooler as she starts to bring them inside:: I agree, I'd have fallen over them when I went to run. Be right back... help yourself to the beer, I have plenty more... ::starting to head inside::
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:26:11 PM)
::he waves and grabs himself a beer
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:27:02 PM)
Kurt nodded as Kaia expressed her wishes of both the men. He finished up his beer and gther it up with the other empties around and put them in a recycling container. He grabbed another beer and opened it, taking a long drink from it.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:32:10 PM)
::he upnods to kurt but opts not to sit in the hammock
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:32:49 PM)
Kurt nods to Thom and takes a sip from his beer.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:33:40 PM)
::there's a small clang in the kitchen, and some vehement words in Icelandic... they likely aren't very ladylike, before they can hear plates and some more glass rattling::
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:33:53 PM)
::he frowns and goes to check on her
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:34:07 PM)
Kurt goes to check on her as well.
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:39:07 PM)
::Kaia is sucking on her thumb, dishes on the counter, the pizza half cut up, the pizza cutter having a bright red splatter on it, and Kaia had her head in the fridge, pulling out another 6-pack. She looks up over the fridge door, as they both came in, looking to them, raising a brow::
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:39:41 PM)
You alright?
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:40:27 PM)
Kurt just had a concerned look on his face, then a smile as she was ok, just a cut finger.
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:41:13 PM)
Want me to cut the pizza for you? I mean, that's somethin I can do that wont make the pizza spontaniously combust
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:42:22 PM)
::she nods, sucking her thumb, and then speaking:: Fine... I apparently can't slice pizza though. Create huge sculptures.. yes. Forge knives... yes. Create exquisite glass vases.. yes. Cutting pizza.. I can't do tonight. ::she nods:: Please.. you may wish to use another knife though...
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:43:03 PM)
::he shakes hsi head and looks around then gets himself a nice knife and cuts the pizza, he was good at least at not cutting himself::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:43:57 PM)
"Everyone has their limitations, Kaia." He smiled. "You want me to help you clean that or are you good on that as well?"

Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:47:34 PM)
::she shakes her head:: I'll be okay... Just going to throw a band-aid on it... be right back. Let's eat on the deck, it's cool out there... ::she eyes the one pizza... then the guys:: Is one pizza going to be enough? ::as she then heads for the bathroom, to perform minor first aid::
Lukas Vangelis (Sep 8, 2010 11:47:40 PM)
*pulls up and parks, knocking at the door with a six pack in hand*
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:48:28 PM)
No clue, it is kind of big
Kaia Skaare (Sep 8, 2010 11:48:41 PM)
Can one of you get the door, please? ::calling from the bathroom::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:49:28 PM)
"Yeah, I ate before I came, but I appreciate the hospitality,kaia. You guys eat up."
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:50:10 PM)
::he heads to get the door::
Kurt Braun (Sep 8, 2010 11:51:07 PM)
Kurt started to go get the door, then seeing that Thom was already moving simply stood in teh kichen... drinking his beer.
Lukas Vangelis (Sep 8, 2010 11:53:54 PM)
*nods lightly to Thom* Hey. ..Kaia in? *bemusedly*
Thom Black (Sep 8, 2010 11:55:40 PM)
Nope, just us. I'm playing the angry scott, and Kurt's the damsel in distress. We're practicing ::he nods, thom I shuold mention is in a kilt::
