Disaster has struck!

They try to remember, but still they forget That the heart beats in three's Just like a waltz and nothing can stop you from dancing |
| Despite all the sadness, there was still a fire that burned intensely within. It was only balanced by the ice of the tundra that ran through my veins and lived in my bones. The innocence in me had been lost the day I was born into the harshest and most unforgiving place in the entire world. It is something he could not know about me, that I was not his usual target; I would not be a victim unless by choice, and then I am hardly being victimized by anyone except myself. As long as he continued to challenge and pursue me, I would meet him head on and return his challenge, testing him.
"If I don't worry about ye, lass, who else will?" Shivershade taunts and I flinch subtly, because, while he may not realize it, there were very few that worried about me: Natu and her pups, who have come to call me aunt. I wasn't sure if Eric could be considered in that list anymore, after all, I had pushed him away from me, with the help of his mate. "There are a few that would disagree with that statement," I say, regaining my fire and challenging his assumption that no one else would worry about me. I do not waiver or flinch away as he advances closer in his newfound bravery. He rubs his maw against mine before jerking away and smiling. I eye him for a second, wondering just what he was trying to get at. For some reason, it was an appealing gesture that sparked a reaction I never expected. I leaned forward, much as he did, only I nipped at his ear. Something along the lines of a not love bite? I was intrigued by him, yes. Even going so far as to say possibly infatuated with the attention and his dashing looks, but I was not in love with him. Because I knew if I lost my judgement and anything happened, he would be gone shortly after, not hanging around to see the fruit of his exploits. He cocks his head at me. "I see a lonely lass atop the waterfalls and all I could think was that ye wished for company. I am not the best of company, I'll be the first to admit, but maybe I'll grow on ye. You may not need me to watch yer back, but I can certainly do that if need be." he winks, and I roll my eyes but can't stop the amused smile that dance across my lips. "Ég þarf að" (I need that) I mumble, knowing he can't understand, which is exactly why I admitted it this way. "His company is certainly not the best," I teased before he could question my other words. "But, he hasn't entirely overstayed his welcome," I said, winking, signifying that he could stay if he wanted to continue his little pursuit.
