Astrid didn't give Eret a real opportunity to react, instead she hurled her axe in his direction, hitting the tree next to him.
Eret stood still, gaping at her in shock.
"Did you seriously just throw your axe at me?"
"Relax. I was targeting that tree, not you."
Eret didn't relax, still taken aback.
Astrid shrugged, walking over to him casually. "So what are you up to?"
Eret shifted on his feet, looking away. "What makes you think I'm up to something?"
"I don't know, the sneaking around maybe? Your general evasiveness?"
Eret sighed. "I wasn't sneaking around! I thought I had earned your trust by now, or are generally this suspicious of everyone?"
Astrid grabbed her axe, pulling it out from the tree bark. "I'm a warrior, Eret. It's my job to protect my tribe and my Chief."
"By Chief, you mean.. the guy you sleep with?" he grinned.
Astrid turned red instantly, pointing her axe at him. "Do you want to be the next target?!"
"I would prefer not to," Eret laughed. "What's the big deal, anyway? It's good that you keep our Chief so satisfied."
Astrid looked unamused. "You are worse than Snotlout."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
Eret laughed. "I'm just sayin'.. A happy Chief means a happy tribe."
"Ugh, stop it already!"
"Nope."
"You are just trying to distract me right now so I will not find out what you are really up to."
That wiped the smile off his face.
"Thought so," Astrid remarked with smug smirk.
Eret's shoulders slumped in defeat. "Fine. I will tell you," he sighed.
