The RolePlay
-
*Caught off guard Liv releases her grip on the sword*
-
“Dis”, She said right before puting all her weight behind her shield and hurling her self at him.
-
I was not expecting this and it knocks me over, i drop the shield, but keep a grip on the sword, i get up quickly “you fight without much fear, that is good” i say, swinging the sword in my palm
-
“yay”, she said smiling behind her shield as she blocked the blow with her shield, she pushed off at it and waited.
-
I put my arms at my sides, “i think that is enough for today, we shall continue tomorrow” i toss liv the shield “paint it however you like”
-
“alright”, Liv said fumbling with the too shields, she put them on both her arms and retrieved the 2 swords as well, before she entered her house she turned back to Eyiolfr*”see you tomorrow?”, she said letting the sword tips rest on the ground.
-
*Liv enters her house and sets to work painting Eyiolfr’s shield she painted a white back ground with yellow stripes once it was done she left it on the table to dry along with her her own shield returning it to its original hook. after doing this Liv took a half finished bear carving and stepped out onto her porch, she sat down on her stool crossed her legs, drew her knife and set to work on the carving, it was a Saturday, her day off from her shop tomorrow she would return and get working*
-
I am on my porch, drinking an ale, Liv is two houses down, carving something -maybe she has finished the shield- i think to myself, i finish off the ale and head over there
-
*Liv puts the final details on her carving before brushing the chips off her lap, she stands and holds it up studying it, she nods and sheaths her knife, when she turns to go inside she sees Eyiolfr walking over, she waves*”hello!, just finished yer shield”, she said before entering her house leaving the door open behind her.
-
I follow, shutting the door behind me “where is it? and what is that you were carving?”
-
“oh its just a bear i have made many alike”, she said smiling before touching the paint on the shield, it had dried, she lifted it off the table and handed it to him.”there you are”, she said before her stomach grumbled, she scratched the back of her head embarrassed.
-
i smirk, l but say nothing i get a good look at the shield “thank you, my cousin, it is wonderful” i set the shield down “shall we go get a bite to eat?”
-
“That would be nice”, she said smiling, before setting down the bear carving on one of the shelves and turning to Eyiolfr.”lets go!”, she said enthusiastically.
-
We go to the small tavern and sit down at one of the tables
