Tessnnar first Date
Tessa: -near the edge of the forest sewing a plushie-
Gunnar: *lurking behind Tessa* what are you making?
Tessa: -starts slightly as her heart skips a beat, but she avoids moving too much so she doesn't stab herself. Puts the needle into her work so she can get at her notebook- +T-Rex+
Gunnar: cute, can I request a little devil with a pitch fork to keep me company in my lonely apartments?
Tessa: -look at him slightly wondering what he's up to- +Sure.+
Gunnar: you looked rather good at evening muster. I must admit, it's always good to see other people from my cohort representing
Tessa: -stares at him momentarily- +You're in second cohort? I don't remember seeing you.+
Gunnar: I tend to stick to the shadows. staying out of the public light
Tessa: +Well, it's good to know you're actually in a cohort.+
Gunnar: didn't think I was in one did you?
Tessa: +I couldn't be sure+
Gunnar: I tend to keep a low profile. my job requires as such
Tessa: +What would that be?+
Gunnar: if I told you I'd have to kill you. I'd rather not though. but my job takes me outside the camp rather often
Tessa: -heart jumps when he said he'd have to kill her- +Is that why you have an apartment?+
Gunnar: *corrects her* Apartments. more than one
Tessa: +What do you do with multiple apartments?+
Gunnar: bring pretty girls to dinner in those apartments. *whispers in her ear*
Tessa: -flushes and leans away from him covering her ear- +Oh.+
Gunnar: want to go see one?
Tessa: -shakes her head- +I don't plan on leaving camp without permission+
Gunnar: *takes her hand and runs at a shadow* no one will know we're gone
Tessa: -flushes as her heart quickens and she gets pulled into the shadow leaving her sewing on the ground-
Gunnar: *falls out of a shadow in the Italian countryside* I think I did better that time
Tessa: -looks around her heart certainly not calm as she thinks about leaving camp without notice, and with this shadowy guy, but it certainly is a pretty sight-
Gunnar: well my villa is up this way. *holds out the crook of his arm for her to take*
Tessa: -looks around, then looks at him, looks at the road ahead before slowly slipping her arm nervously into his-
Gunnar: don't be so nervous love, it's my family villa. I own the vineyard from there *points* to there *points again* and all the way over that hill there.
Tessa: -looks up at him and nods before looking away again, her heart racing for a completely different reason from usual-
Gunnar: next time I think I'll make sure to teleport us nearer to my Lamborghini.
Tessa: -looks a bit surprised when he mentions lambo, then knits her brows together as she ponders how he has the money for that. Looks around, thinking the vine yards probably contributed-
Gunnar: *pushes open a large door of a massive Italian villa* looks like things are kept nice around here.
Tessa: -admires the place, reaching for her spare notebook-
Gunnar: my grandparents on my father's mother's side owned this place. built back in the ancient roman Renaissance time
Tessa: +It's amazing+
Gunnar: I'm glad you like it. Would you like some dinner?
Tessa: -flushes remembering what he said about pretty girls and dinner. pauses to think about it. She's already here. Looks up at him and nods, wondering what was wrong with her for this when he scares her for the fun of it-
Gunnar: you know, Tessa, I'm only scary because I have to be.
Tessa: -simply looks at him for a moment, not sure if she should believe him or not- +You go out of your way to terrify me.+
Gunnar: only cuz you're pretty
Tessa: -blushes and looks away-
Gunnar: come on, *offers his hand and then looks at the cook and says in Italian that they would take dinner on the terrace*
Tessa: -hesitantly takes his hand, wonders a bit what he said picking up slightly on a word or two-
Gunnar: are you allergic to any foods?
Tessa: -shakes her head-
Gunnar: here you can speak freely if you wish, let me hear that wonderful voice of yours
Tessa: -shakes her head, forgetting he's hear her voice without change-
Gunnar: it's up to you, *opens the door to the terrace over looking the vineyards care for a drink?
Tessa: -pauses before stepping outside again, looking over the beautiful landscape. Thinks a moment- "Perhaps a little..." -speaks softly, still slightly afraid to speak-
Gunnar: what would you like? I have some sparkling cider and grape juice, wine, Italian iced sodas
Tessa: -heart races as she slowly gains some confidence in speaking again- "It...would be a shame.....to not try the wine"
Gunnar: it's a tad dry, but I think you would like it. *pours two glasses from a barrel. * one for the lady. *offers her a chair
Tessa: -smiles a bit- "Thank you." -takes a seat, watching Gunnar. Still trying to guess at what is going on as she take a sip of wine-
Gunnar: you're welcome. *sits down beside her in a chair* hope this isn't too much of a surprise.
Tessa: -smiles- "A bit, quite a bit. But that's okay."
Gunnar: I'm not always the big bad wolf
Tessa: -takes another sip of wine- "No?"
Gunnar: mostly I take care of undesirable things, for the well being of the camp of course
Tessa: "Undesirable things? So mostly just the darker side of camp legistics?"
Gunnar: yes, as you can guess that's why I tended to make myself scarce
Tessa: -nods- "I suppose. At least you seem to be good about keeping it hidden. I never even thought our camp would have a dark side"
Gunnar: most places, most people for that matter have a darker side
Tessa: "So is this your lighter side then?"
Gunnar: of course. *smiles and takes a sip from his glass*
Tessa: -smiles- "How many people get to see this side of you?"
Gunnar: only you so far
Tessa: -blushes and takes a sip of wine, smiling more, fairly happy-
Gunnar: if you wish, I keep places in Japan and Monaco as well if you'd like to visit
Tessa: "You don't have to take me everywhere. How many Apartments do you have?"
Gunnar: *thinks* seven in total. and one hunting lodge in northern Finland
Tessa: -thinks so that's eight, or nine plushies- That's quite the number, do you hire people to keep them all clean?"
Gunnar: they served my parents and I kept them on after my mom and dad died
Tessa: -pauses- "That's good of you, I'm sorry to hear about your parents."
Gunnar: *shrugs* my mother was a nut job and my father died by my own hand.
Tessa: "Even if your mom was a nut, she was still your mom." -smiles- "And she had a wonderful son, so I thank her." -pauses- "Your own hand?"
Gunnar: yes, he took a serious blow to the stomach at the battle and he asked me to end his life. and... *pauses* thank you Tessa
Tessa: -nods- "I see. Well, I guess it's better to die at the hand of the one you love, it must have been hard." -smiles- No reason to thank me."
Gunnar: my father seemed to think it was best. It was the first time I cried.
Tessa: “I think that was was the first time a lot of people cried.”
Gunnar: pauses I hope this doesn't make me sound cold hearted, but I've killed hundreds if not thousands of people and none hurt worse than that.”
Tessa: “how could it? Nothing ever hurts as much as one close to you”
Gunnar: *sighs* I guess ukki is right. It is good to talk out these feelings
Tessa: -smiles- “Better than keeping them in. Who is Ukki?”
Gunnar: my grandfather, mors
Tessa: “Oh, a nick name?”
Gunnar: it's finnish. Where my family is predominately from.
Tessa: “Oh really? How much Finnish do you speak?”
Gunnar: fluently. My last name is derived from the Finnish from son of erik
Tessa: “What's your last name?”
Gunnar: erikson. My ancestors weren't exactly creative. Though my father used to say I was descended from erik the red.
Tessa: -laughs- “Okay, Erikson. Even if it's not the most creative it still sounds nice. Erik the Red? Where have I heard that before? Greenland?”
Gunnar: yup the notorious viking. We are his descendants or so I was told by my family tree *points to a worn parchment in a large glass case*
Tessa: -smiles- “Wow, an actual documented family tree. You don't really see those anymore. I guess your family is pretty big on family ties.”
Gunnar: very much so. *motions to six lines down out of the twenty* that's where the gods started producing demigods in my family
Tessa: “Wow, I don't even know my mortal grandparents let alone what happened that many generations back”
Gunnar: the Japanese and Chinese are good for genealogy too. They have deeper records than I have. *shows her a picture of five generations of his family including him as a small adorable child*
Tessa: -smiles and aww's at the picture- “You look so cute, and not ferocious. I guess they sis create the paper trail so it makes sense.”
Gunnar: what about you? You have family you care for?
Tessa: “Well I love my parents, and my uncle Jason at camp. Though he's more like a big brother than an uncle, I think...”
Gunnar: oh yes I remember him. Rather over protective of you. Good thing.
Tessa: -smiles widely- “Yes, it makes me happy. Makes me feel like he really cares”
Gunnar: especially since you're so pretty
Tessa: -blushes slightly- “Thank you, you really don't have to say it as often as you do.” -because it's embarrassing-
Gunnar: no, there are those who would take advantage of you, I just wished to show you a good time.
Tessa: -smiles- “I'll be fine. Not many people pay attention to the mute anyway. Ant I think I can hold my own against most of the camp.”
Gunnar: you're probably right. You could probably get remus to do back flips over himself if you asked him
Tessa: -looks down- “I'd hope he has enough will and common sense not to.”
Gunnar: though it would be amusing to see. Asking you to not speak would be like asking Mars to not be a chauvinistic pig
Tessa: -laughs- “That's not a nice thing to say.” -smiles anyway- “My uncle got turned into a bird for being over protective of me with the very same god.”
Gunnar: I'm sure he has bigger fish to fry in the government
Tessa: “You think so?”
Gunnar: oh I am most sure of that. *phone beeps and he answers it, speaking in low and rapid Finnish and hangs up with a sigh* another dirty job to be completed
Tessa: -looks around the scenery again as he takes the phone call- “That was quick. Oh, from the camp?”
Gunnar: no *pauses* this is an outside contract but it deals with a former legionnaire in Dubai. I guess I will have to get the paperwork ready.
Tessa: -looks at him a moment- “Outside contracts?” -pauses again- “Well. Okay.”
Gunnar: have you ever heard of the yakuza?
Tessa: -nods-
Gunnar: to put it simply, I'm the only person who can rile them up and not get killed in the process.
Tessa: -gives a small worried smile- “That sounds dangerous”
Gunnar: *evil grin* its fun. I enjoy tormenting them. I am a child of death after all.
Tessa: -still slightly worried- “I guess”
Gunnar: don't worry I promise they can't find me or trace me when someone is killed by shadows
Tessa: “You can kill someone with shadows?”
Gunnar: *nods* yeah shadows are everywhere in ones body
Tessa: -shutters at the thought-
Gunnar: I wouldn't think of doing It to you *kisses her hand*
Tessa: -blushes wildly as he kisses her hand, quickly pulls it away. Doesn't look directly at his faces- “As long as you're not caught”
Gunnar: that's why I'm the best at what I do love.
Tessa: -sighs, then smiles- “Okay. But if you ever get hurt make sure to come by the infirmary. We've got the best doctors.”
Gunnar: I wouldn't go elsewhere. I put myself in your more than capable hands.
Tessa: -blushes- “Oh, no. I'm okay, but we have people who can actually heal with their powers instead of just me.”
Gunnar: yeah there are those people but then there are your steady hands that I would trust over a song to Apollo any day
Tessa: -smiles shyly looking down and nods- “Thank you.”
Gunnar: I did tell you I wasn't the big and scary guy everyone thinks I am. That's only a part time job
Tessa: -smiles and laughs slightly- “Yes, I suppose you're right.”
Gunnar: I wouldn't wish someone I cared about to think I'm only just a monster.
Tessa: -stares at him not saying anything, just trying to process what he said-
