Erisnor, Land of Barbarians

"I never said I had no need of you nore that I wanted you to go. I don't know what could have given you that idea." Aneko said with a light pout. She turned and gave him a look. "I don't like it when people leave me. You are the only person in my life to touch me."

Urtan smiles and touches her cheek. "Then I will stay. All you had to do was tell me to stay." he murmurs.

"Stay, you big stupid man. Stay with me. Don't go." Aneko said. She latched onto his arm refusing to let him go.

A shock vibrates up his arm and hers and his flinches a little bit but then smiles, "Sorry about that. But I'll definitely stay with you."

"What was it? Why does it seem the static, or whatever it is, come off you whenever we touch or whater?" Aneko asked softly. She pushed herself onto her arm so she was looking directly at him.

Urtan sighs, "I don't exactly know... what I am. All I know is that I'm some sort of electrical... being. Everything has an electrical charge and I can... control those and feel them and things like that. I also have an... amped up electrical charge. Or something. But touching most human like creatures causes me pain. At least... it usually does."

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I will stop touching you. I supouse I should have asked this a while ago. I just thought it was nice to have comeone touch me." Aneko said with a small shrug. She watched him with an intense gaze.

Urtan reaches out and touches her cheek again, not flinching or wincing at all. "It's ok. You... like being touched. And quite frankly, I haven't touched anyone without searing, crippling pain in a long time. You... it only stings a little. Probably the same sting you feel when I touch you. It's more surprising than painful."

Aneko looked surprised for a moment before she smiled at him. "You are rather sweet. I am really glad I met you." She lent forward and gave his cheek a quick kiss. "Thank you very much for caring about me."

"Your very welcome, Aneko." Urtan murmurs and then stands. "Do you have somewhere to take a shower that I may use or...?" he asks, seeming slightly embarrassed.

"Of course I do. I do bath myself you know. If I didn't have a place to wash then I would start to feel grose. It's right through that door." Aneko said and motioned to a door for him. "Now I shall get you a towel."

Urtan chuckles, "I just didn't know if you had an actual shower or not. Usually I just collect a bucket of snow, melt it most of the way, and... pour it over myself."

"That sounds kind of cold. I have to collect all of my water but I should have some hot water. Feel free to take a nice long shower." Aneko said giving him a smile. She then went to a cuboard to dig out a towel. "Here you go." She said handing it to him.

Urtan smiles and kisses her cheek gently, taking the towel, and disappearing into the room she had pointed out.

Aneko felt her cheeks burn for a moment before she went back to the kitchen. She really did need to make something to eat. She hadn't eaten in a few days. Although her body had grown used to being without food. Not that she needed to eat all the time but she rather wanted some food. Hopefuly Urtan would like it too.

Urtan finishes his shower quickly, a towel about his waist going down to his knees. He carries his robes over his shoulder and seems to wince a bit with every step. He's heavily muscled for a man so lean and tall but has scars of every size and shape all over his body. Along with the scars are also so many tattoos it's impossible to count them all. His hair is medium brown and there is a shadow of a beard on his jaw, like he hasn't shaved in a day, and a light dusting of hair from his navel going down. As it goes down it becomes thicker and darker. "Do you have a large amount of cold water nearby?" he asks gently.

Aneko tossed a bucket at him. "There is a well out back. I have to warm it up everytime I want get water. It should have some that is not frozen but it should be cold enough." She said before she turned to give him a light smile. "Do you have any prefference for a meal? I all ready got a few things out but I can add things if you wish."

Urtan catches the bucket, the towel dropping an inch but he pulls it back up. "Careful..." he murmurs wickedly and grins, stretching the scars on his face. Even as he teases and flirts with her, something shimmers in his eyes. Something terrified, self-conscious, and lonely.

"Well you might want to put some cloths on first. Don't want you to freeze your man bits off, do you? Besides you might wind up flashing me. And I just might faint. I have never really seen such things before. It has all ways been frowned upon bu the people I have been surounded by. I just barely know what females look like." Aneko said with a light blush. Embarased she turned back to finish with the food.

Urtan smiles and walks up behind Aneko and gently takes both her wrists, pulling her away from the food and wrapping his arms around her, also pulling her own arms around her. He had fastened the towel securely as well. He sets his chin on her shoulder and whispers in her ear. "Don't be embarrassed. I've never seen a woman either. At least not in that way."

Aneko felt her cheeks darken. "I am not sure it is normal for a female of my ages. I am sure other women are all ready married and have children. But I have never really felt the urge to mate. And men don't ever want to touch me. So I doubt I will have children. Not that anyone would want a cursed woman's children. But I supouse it is for the best. I would never want my children to be hated." She said with a light sigh. Her fingers gently stroked his arm.

Urtan kisses her cheek gently, his breath feathering against her cheek. Little sparks begin to dance between the two of them, everywhere he touched her becoming warm. "What if... I told you that... I don't care if you're cursed. And I think you're beautiful." he murmurs, a slight tremor in his voice, "And what if I told you I was afraid?"

"If you don't care if I'm cursed what do you have to be afraid of? I know though that one can be affraid of things they are not sure of or don't quite understand. But don't worry I will never hurt you. And I will do what I can to not make you affraid. To make you happy." Aneko said softly. She continued to gently stroke his arm. She let herself lean against him. She liked the feeling of him just being there. It was comforting and she had never felt anything like it.

Urtan chuckles and holds her closer, letting her lean on him. "I did not mean I was afraid of you. I know that you wouldn't hurt me, not without a very good reason anyway. I'm afraid of... this, myself. Feeling. I've lived for... far too long. I haven't kept track. Over a hundred years. If you're cursed, so am I. I've died thousands of times, hundreds of ways, and I always come back. It has to do with the electricity around me. But I've never found a friend, or anything else, that hasn't turned on me. And I'm afraid." he says, choking on the words occasionally. His heart was beating hard and strong, but too fast, against her back.

Aneko turned her head and gently kissed his cheek. "Do not worry. I won't try to kill you and I would not let anyone hurt you. I keep people I care about safe and I won't let you get hurt again. As long as we are together we will not have to worry about other people. Where they have hurt us we will ease the pain. Don't worry about a thing. because every thing is going to be all right." She snuggled into him and continued to gently stroke his arm.

Urtan murmurs in her ear, in some lost language. "Then I guess... I will trust you." he murmurs and lets go of her wrists, turning her to face him. "But one question. Do you truly not mind the scars and the electricity and everything else?" he asks softly. Even though she is held somewhat looser than before, because he's speaking to her, it is still very easy to feel his heart beating and it's getting faster and faster.
