[QUOTE="Queenie, post: 7127846, member: 8058"] Astrid looked Thorir up and down but her eyes flickered momentarily towards Eben standing back behind his brother. Four years ago Eben was just a sixteen year old skinny boy poet, and she was just the skinny fourteen year old girl in love with him. They blissfully snuck around, doing whatever was necessary to see each other as often as they could, playing house, dreaming it was real and that there was a way to make it all reality. Four years ago Astrid thought it would last forever and her life was almost complete. Not long after that her dreams were shattered, and she survived a nightmare she never seemed to be able to wake from. Eben was no longer a skinny boy poet, but had grown physically and in other natural ways. He was a warrior now, though he promised her he was still that poet at heart and she was still the thing that made that heart beat. Astrid had grown too, she added inches to her height, her curves had all filled out. She'd grown in other ways too, she learned of politics and diplomacy. She was also educated to how cruel and evil the world could be. Her powers, like her father's or some [i]other[/i] kind of powers, had manifested, making her a much more valuable, and feared, commodity. Four years felt like a million lifetimes ago. Her eyes returned to Thorir. What had he been like four years ago? Looking over his form, she doubted he was ever a skinny anything. What aspirations had his parents had for him? What actually happened between him and Einar? So many questions. "Four years is a long time Thorir," Astrid said to him softly, turning back towards the docks. "Many things change." The Astrid of four years ago would never have dreamed of doing something like this. She'd be needing the Astrid of now to survive it. "What is Einar like? I have met him quite a few times but he has always been kind and caring towards me. Yet here he is wanting to do... who knows what with me. Something nefarious." She turned again back to face the tall warrior. "So tell me. What is he really like? If I have to be in close quarters, tell me what I need to know." OOC: I don't know what we decided to do with Eben so I mentioned him, but I can edit that out if necessary.
