<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">Eivind had no intention of letting Blue get hurt again. Certainly not by another wolf, but that went without saying. They were together now, there to watch over one another properly. The natural order of things. They agreed to listen to the doctor's orders in regards to sex, and he was sure at that point Blue would be digging for an exact estimation. <br/>
<br/>
Blue teased him about the smell of the soap, apparently a mild one by human standards, and he made Eivind endure it in order to get clean. It was decidedly more tolerable with Blue running his hands over him, and then soaping a washcloth. Eventually, Eivind relaxed and let Blue work, rumbling when his mate cleaned his genitals. He spread his legs wider for him, giving him ease of access, but it seemed he was going to behave and simply cleanse. <br/>
<br/>
“My home is wherever I make it. It's always been that way, the cabin only about half the time,” Eivind told him, his eyes closing. “I want the situation handled before I bring you back there.” Sieger hadn't gotten in their way trying to leave, but he hadn't exactly been welcoming either. Given any more chance, he would have ripped out Freyr's throat, and that was no way to bond with the pack. Sure, Blue had people there that obviously liked him, and maybe Sig would even stick around, but Eivind expected that they'd at least treat his mate with respect even if they never did the same with him. <br/>
<br/>
“I don't think the hotel is really suitable long term. There isn't even a kitchen, and while I get by with the bare minimum cooking-wise, I don't want to rely heavily on the microwave.” His thoughts in regards to the hotel, though he already stated he intended on taking Blue back to the cabin right away. “I don't like the idea of an apartment either..” He made a face, thinking about all those humans stacked on top of one another. Having to listen to them.. the hotel was already bad enough if a temporary thing. Blue was right about the furniture, and Eivind wasn't sure he wanted to sign a lease. <br/>
<br/>
Eivind frowned with Blue brought up the spending on him. <br/>
<br/>
“I don't want to jump into buying anything either. It would take too long anyway, with inspections, and all that, especially since we don't even know what we'll decide in the future. Maybe we can rent a furnished little vacation home for a longer duration, but nothing permanent.” Likely, that would be the best decision all around. Cheaper than the hotel long term, but more cozy and private. <br/>
<br/>
“And I don't want you to worry over finances right this second. You were going to school. I want you to go back. You said you didn't think it matters much anymore, but it does. I'm older than you by a lot. I had years to learn my craft, and the support of the pack while I did it. I want you to take the opportunities you were given before your life got derailed. It's not like I spend all that often. Using some of it to go towards a future together just makes sense. Your health is important, so is your comfort.” So was his education. Blue obviously had the passion to pursue art. <br/>
<br/>
“What else would I use the money for?” Eivind asked, obviously not caring so much. “I'm not going to go out and buy you a pony. We'll spend wisely, but I don't want you fretting right now over contributing. You're young. You don't have to know all these things right now. There are other things I'd rather you focus on. I can be the responsible one for a time. I sure as shit wasn't when I was your age.” Blue seemed like he had a better head on his shoulders than he did at that age. He'd at least been doing something of his own volition. Eivind had just followed in the footsteps of his pack, finding something he was halfway decent at. As it turned out, he found he enjoyed building things with his hands, and the physical exertion it took, but he was a simple man. Blue was much more ambitious than he was. <br/>
<br/>
Blue told him that he'd be going home with him, even though they didn't really have much idea where that was at the moment. Eivind smiled, and Blue encouraged him to wet his hair so that he could clean it. It was thick and course, but still tangled though ti didn't mat as easily. Which was lucky for Eivind, considering he hardly did more with it than run his fingers through it to smooth it out in the morning. Blue's fingers worked through it more gently than his own would have, and he enjoyed the sensation. <br/>
<br/>
Blue did make a request, one Eivind really hadn't been thinking all that much about. Of course he'd want something more presentable than what he'd showed up to the hospital in. Humans didn't run around naked quite so much as their wolf counterparts, and it wouldn't hurt for Eivind to look halfway decent. <br/>
<br/>
“Oh, of course. Maybe you can pick something out for me as well? Something that says '<i>No, sir. I didn't take advantage of your son</i>.'” Eivind was grinning again, though he doubted that sentiment would come across no matter what they dressed in. <br/>
<br/>
“Whatever you'd like. We probably need to stop and pick up some other things as well. Better soap, some razors.. Some snack food? I'm fucking starving.” Eivind didn't particularly want to go anywhere though, and he realized there were benefits to being in town.<br/>
<br/>
“I saw a pamphlet for delivery options. I bet it'll beat eating roots and moose jerky out in the forest. Probably even better than the food in the hospital cafeteria.” Maybe it would get their minds of fucking, seeing to their other needs.</span></span>
