“I don't want you to feel like a hostage,” Eivind admitted with a frown, realizing Blue brought up valid points. He himself was uneasy, and with Sieger and him at an impasse, it was only a matter of time before another fight broke out between them. He didn't want Blue to be in the middle of it, and he didn't want him around those that would put his safety at risk because Eivind wasn't being compliant. Blue untangled himself, commenting on Eivind's filth. The wolf couldn't help but laugh. His own smell didn't really bother him, but he was sure Blue preferred he clean himself properly if they were going to be in such close contact with each other.<br/><br/>Blue took it upon himself to clean his body while Eivind had a chance to consider his words about going somewhere else. It had already been on Eivind's mind, and if they left, he didn't believe Sieger would go after them. He never bothered where Eivind went off on his own, anyway, and if he made it understood that they left mutually together, that would make it clear Blue wasn't a danger to them.<br/><br/>It was harder to think clearly when Blue was making references to Eivind spending himself inside of the other. Eivind did want to do that, but he'd prefer that Blue ask for it, rather than thinking of it as some chore that was expected of them.<br/><br/>“If we go, we have to go far. Far enough away that Sieger won't bother coming to find us.” He was giving thought to that as he watched Blue continue to clean him, even being thorough enough to bend down to wash his legs. Eivind tried to be still again, interest slowly budding once more. Blue brought him back to the topic at hand.<br/><br/>“I don't usually stay in one place for long. I would want us to go somewhere suitable,” Eivind told him, pulling him back up before Blue was at level with a full blown erection. There was no hiding it completely, especially when he was back to not being able to keep his hands to himself, but it was manageable, especially with the idea that they would be taking off. He kissed Blue again but he knew they couldn't linger as he'd had liked to. Once separated and fully clean, he stepped from the shower to grab a towel, and then to hand one to Blue.<br/><br/>“I'm going to leave a note for Synnove, so that she doesn't think you've ran,” Eivind decided, while looking around for a pack to hold some supplies. With Blue, they'd be better off with a few things.<br/><br/>“Pack the things you think you might need. Pack light though. Grab some food from the freezer too. I'm capable, but I've never traveled with someone before,” Eivind admitted, unsure how much ground they might be able to cover, or how much Blue might be bothered by the chilly night air. He could help keep him warm, and of course they could hunt, but the more comfortable Blue was, the better.<br/><br/>The letter Eivind wrote was simple and to the point.<br/><br/><i><span style="font-family:Throw My Hands Up in the Air">'I've left with Blue. You can guess why. I'll return when we've figured things out, or I won't.</span></i><br/><span style="font-family:Throw My Hands Up in the Air"></span><br/><i><span style="font-family:Throw My Hands Up in the Air">Eivind'</span></i><br/><br/>There was a lot to think about, and Eivind wouldn't bring Blue back at all if Sieger still posed a danger to him. Eivind took the bad from Blue, not bothering to dress before heading off. It was easier to shift without being encumbered by clothing, and Eivind was plenty comfortable out in the wilderness without then.<br/><br/>“We're going to head towards the mountains. There are caves and caverns out there, something that will give us some shelter for however long we're gone for. And more importantly, no one out there to pester us.” Eivind knew because the mountains had been the first place he headed after his father's death. It was going to take them some days, even if they were lucky.<br/><br/>On their way out, they were intercepted by Alaric on the porch.<br/><br/>“What are you doing?” the wolf demanded.<br/><br/>“I'm going out to fuck him in the woods like some animal. What do you think I'm doing, Alaric? I'm taking my mate, and I'm leaving. It's not safe here for him,” Eivind snapped.<br/><br/>“Your answer to everything,” Alaric pointed out, not sounding surprised. “Synnove was expecting this. She said she's keeping Sieger busy for now, but she is pissed at you for breaking her furniture.”<br/><br/>Eivind snorted.<br/><br/>“Don't get him torn open this time. I won't be out there with you to put him back together again,” Alaric told him with that same shit-eating tone of his. Before they could depart, Alaric passed Blue another bag of medical supplies; some thing that might be useful should either become injured. His way of bidding them farewell.
