Stellan wasn't happy about it but reluctantly he agreed. Blue could do this with or without him but it would certainly look better with his involvement. Sig felt a little sick to his stomach at the thought, knowing Blue would be positively terrified to be dropped back into the hands of that man. Knowing so much could go wrong. He drew his long limbs closer together and Sig scooted closer, wiggling his arms around Blue's waist. He buried his face into his side, trying to comfort him as he came to terms with this difficult decision.<br/><br/>“I'll be there, with Stellan. I don't know what we'll do if something goes wrong, but.. I'll think of something. Light Garlan on fire, perhaps.” It would be difficult to be present but not as bad as what Blue was planning on doing. And new as he was he didn't have to support the notion of Stellan offering a human up like a tasty sacrifice. He was certain he wasn't a good enough actor to pull that off.<br/><br/>“We'll go back and get what we need from Alaric. I'd like the excuse to get out of town for a few days anyway.” He and Stellan could use some proper alone time since they'd had an audience the night before.<br/><br/>“And you could use some alone time with your fiance,” he reminded, hoping to bring him out of his gloom. Part of him hoped that Eivind would notice and wrestle an explanation out of Blue. Change his mind. Make him agree to something else but Sig also knew how stubborn Blue was. He wanted to be able to move on with his life and Sig had to respect that. If he was strong enough to face his tormentor, then so be it.<br/><br/><br/><br/>–<br/><br/><br/><br/>Eivind did feel that something was off despite assurances from Blue. It lingered like a bad taste he couldn't shake. He was in tune with his lover and with him unwilling to offer anything he could only make his own assumptions. The motel was wearing on him just as much as it was Blue. That had to be it. It wasn't a home to them and Eivind was working a lot to prepare for the wedding. It was driving him crazy how often he left him alone. He knew he had to find a solution and he was faced with the choice of postponing the wedding or putting a down payment on something. The cabin still sat, unoccupied. Blue forbade him from selling it and he wouldn't do so behind his back. And then once they were married he couldn't do it without his signature because he planned on putting Blue on the title. Anything that was his would be Blue's as well.<br/><br/>It wasn't until he spoke to his accountant did he realize he was making things much more difficult for himself than he needed to be. Money was sitting from his father's account that he'd never done anything with. He remembered some mention of assets that he'd blown off, told them to put it back into the company. And so there had been funds all along, even after they'd gone through Eivind's savings.<br/><br/>He wouldn't have to postpone his wedding and he could get Blue out of that shithole motel. Eivind wanted something for the both of them that Blue could turn into his own space like he'd done with the cabin. He wanted something away from people, yet finding anything like that in the city was damn impossible. At least until he'd been driving the outskirts and found a camper with a for sale sign in someone's yard. That was something he hadn't even considered, and he pulled in, knocking on the homeowner's door to entertain a cash offer.<br/><br/>It needed some work before Eivind even considered showing it to Blue. A few things updated, replaced, and added. Even after it would still need work to really make it their own, but it was cozy and livable. Modifications were something that they could do over a time. And they could park it anywhere with a full hook up for rent. Eivind drove it to the place he'd proposed to Blue. They had some accommodations for RVs and it was a perfect medium for them. Close to town, far enough from other campers, but right there with a small protected section of nature. It wasn't permanent and should they want to travel they would have the freedom to do so. He unhooked the truck after setting up the homey little camper and drove to get Blue from school. Like usual, he didn't answer questions about where they were going.<br/><br/>All he did was hand Blue a key when they got there.
