Of Beasts and Knights

*Heigan stands up, tears an axe from the stump he was sitting on and steps closer to her. raising the axe to swing*

she grabs her own axe and stands up too. if he does indeed swing she manages to parry it, more deflecting the blow away than full on blocking.

*he swings a gauntleted hand at her, striking her with a backhand, sending her sprawling* 

W1: "HEIGEN ARE YOU MAD?"

she struggles to her feet, wiping blood away from her mouth. she looks at the blood. then back at heigen. then laughs.

"Gah! I'll just kill the bitch and be done with it. Thorgar can do without his new whore." *he raises his axe, and swings it down towards rosa. About a foot from her head, a sword appears, as the first warrior blocks the blow, pushing it to the side with a grunt of effort.* 

W1: "Do you want to get yourself killed you moron!"

"Sorry big guy *laughs again* Did I hurt your feelings?"

W1: "Are you trying to die you daft southern tart?" 

Heigen: *Roars a battlecry, and hammers his axe down towards the other warrior, slamming into his guard repeatedly. its obvious he's stronger, and each strike pushes the other warrior back, his heavy plate boots digging a furrow in the soft earth* 

*Rosa notices thorgar's tent open*

she laughs again
"Go on. Fucking kill me if you can. I survived enslavement by them for longer than I can remember. I got free. At this point, death doesn't scare me."

*Heigen goes to swing again, but is knocked sideways by a blow to the head, staggering to one side* "What the?" 

*Thorgar is slowly walking towards them, his sword drawn* "Now. Someone explain."

Rosa: *still bleeding from the face somewhat* Apparently Heigen here's very sensitive. Doesn't like me saying mean things.

Thorgar: "You taunted a chaos warrior. Thankyou for stopping him Vorstan." 

W1: "Voice of reason as usual."

Thorgar: *looks at heigen, then rosa* "Now what do i do with you two." *walks slowly towards heigen*

OOC: Very nice, so how is everyone

OOC: Pretty good, you?

Rosa; *picks up her food again* Sorry, I'll make an effort to pretend to be afraid next time.

OOC: I'm good thanks

Thorgar:  *Ignoring her, slowly walking towards Heigen.* 

Heigen: "You know what its like... She questioned our honour!" 

Thorgar: *Puts a fatherlike hand on heigen's shoulder*  "All i ask for, is a little common sense. Just, a little...COMMMON!" *he plunnges his sword into heigen's leg* "FUCKING!" *he tears it out* "SENSE!" *Then punches heigen in the face with the crossguard of his sword. Heigen topples backwards, unsure whether to clutch his stabbed leg, or his broken jaw*

Rosa's started eating again, and says nothing

OOC: so, bush, are thou ready to join in?

*Thorgar kneels by heigen, grabs a handful of the furs on his shoulders, and cleans his sword's blade, then stands up* "You'll live heigen. You always do." *then he walks over to rosa*

she watches him approach. unflinching as she takes another bite of meat.

Thorgar: "Common sense. Don't taunt khornate warriors."

"didn't realise it was taunting to point out that it's bullshit to call guns cowardly when i've seen guys like him march under the protection of hellcannons more than once."

Thorgar: "He can tell you that pigs fly and dwarves love elves for all i care. He can kill you, so you nod and agree."

Rosa: you want me to be scared of him? *eyebrow raise*

Thorgar: "I don't care if you're scared or not. There's a heirarchy here. You want to stay, you'll do as i say. And that means doing what he says."

Rosa: *swallows the food* Alright. I won't say mean things to the big guy. Wouldn't want him to start crying, right?

Thorgar: "There's a time for fire, girl. This isn't it. toe the line or the beasts can have you back."

"....as you wish"

Thorgar: "You're not staying here. get up."

*she was already standing*

*he puts a hand on her back, and pushes her towards his tent*

she follows willingly, still eating a bit

*out of hearing of the warriors* "Why did you do that."

"Was just talking. Didn't think he'd be such a crybaby about it."

Thorgar: "You questioned a khornate warriors honour."

"why the fuck does he care what some 'southern whore' thinks of his honour? If he's that insecure then maybe he's not as honourable as he claims"

Thorgar: "An insult from someone lesser than you is not to be bared. Your southern ideas of how to respond to insults do not apply here." *He opens his tent, and gestures for her to go in*

she enters, quietly

"Apparently i can't let you out of my damned sight. so you sleep here."

"....Alright"

*he gestures to one of two fur mattresses, and lies down on the other.*

"...you were expecting company?"

Thorgar: "I have a spare."

"I can't remember the last time I slept on a bed. or was in shelter of any kind."

"Well, are you going to stand staring at it, or lie down on it?"

"right..." she gets into the bed.... if thorgar's watching he realises she actually is seeming to have trouble remembering how to use it as she does so

*he's looking at the ceiling, cleaning his sword with a rag* "I should make an example of you. To show what happens if you disrespect your betters."

"....Whatever you do to me, I've had worse. Trust me on that."

"The beasts are not as creative as i am. They'll have starved you, beat you, raped you. There is a world of pain beyond that, girl."

"...I killed my own child before it was born. Because it was his child too. Think you can top that?"

OOC: Maybe
