Kuzan had just arrived on her island, he went straight towards the the main hall but on his way he came across Thrandr, who was dodging some arrows, he looked up and saw Thórunn was the one firing them at him. She missed some, but landing a few, Kuzan was slightly concerned until he realised they where fake. Feykir was watching at the entrance and Kuzan joined him and greeted him.

"We train a lot. It's great when we find ways we can include her!" He explained to Kuzan and Kuzan nodded. They watched them together.

"You're defeated!" Thórunn called out to Thrandr, she wasn't very loud, but Thrandr heard and came running back. She gave him back his bow, arrow and quiver.

"No fair. You got me again!!" He playfully pouted she returned a playful smug look.

As they where heading back to the hall, she was having some balance issues in the wet mud.

"Oh no…" Feykir watched closely.

As he thought, she slipped and fell flat, it all happened so fast, Thrandr thought it was hilarious, almost falling himself. Feykir and Kuzan gasped in sync.

"Oh, Runnie..." Feykir said out loud, finding it hard to not laugh, as he had watched it unfold.

As she approached the entrance, approaching Feykir, he couldn't help but joke about it.

"Got a bit of mud on you, Runnie!" He giggled, she sarcastically glared at him.

Which then caused Thrandr to laugh even harder, so she chased him around the hall, trying to make him muddy too. Eventually, getting close and running her hands over his face.

"Thór, you have a guest!" Feykir interrupted them, he presented Kuzan. Kuzan waved at them,

"Eh?" She said confused

"Yeah, Thór doesn't have any friends.." Thrandr added

She went to look at him in a cross way, but then realised its true.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything" Kuzan chuckled.

"Kuzan!" An excitable Thórunn shouted out.

" Kuzan, its been a while!" Thrandr added, pleased to see him too.

"OK, Kuzan counts," Thrandr teased her,

"Sorry, but I've got to go though, I hope I'll catch you all later!" Thrandr smiled, then running off. Feykir also had to leave, leaving with him.

"Hello my lovely." Kuzan greeted, approaching her, she widely smiled.

He bent down and they kissed, after, he took her hands,

"Oh my, let's get you cleaned up!" He laughed,

"Not you too." She pouted, he giggled

"Haha, it so was funny, your little face." He teased.

"Ehh.." she moaned, folding her arms, he smiled, she returned his smile after a moment.

"Come on, let's get you warmed up" He led her to her room and lit the fireplace.

"Pass me your clothes, sweetie?" Kuzan asked to a now blushing Thórunn, but she did so without hesitating. He smiled and couldn't help teasing her a little.

"Kuzan, don't look!" She turned from his view, he playfully sighed.

She gave him her wet and muddy clothes, still facing away, he put them by the fire, then went to check the shower temperature.

"It's ready!" He called out, but she didn't come or answer, so he came back to see her,

"Sweetie?" He curiously asked,

She was dazed, curled up by the fire, he gently approached her, bending down and stroking her head lovingly.

"Sweetheart, the showers ready." He quietly, softly spoke.

He held his hand out, she took it and he guided her. She got in and started to wash off the mud,

"Kuzan?" She called out for him with helpless' in her voice, just as he just started to run a bath.

"Hmm, you ok?" He immediately stopped and rushed to her.

"Please can you help me?" She was struggling physically.

"Of course!" He warmly, sympathetically smiled.

He took off his clothes, so he was in his under garments, grabbed a stool that was made for the bathroom, sat her down on it and he helped her wash the remaining mud and dirt off. He was always so gentle maybe too gentle, he was just scared to hurt her.

"Want me to do your hair too?" She nodded, taking him up on his offer.

"…Such beautiful hair" He was admiring her, muttering to himself.

As he ran the shampoo through her hair, his hands where gently massaging her head, her head dropped,

"Huh?" He peered around to her, he saw her relaxed with a smile on her face.

"Mmm?" She murmured.

"Does that feel good?" He smiled, chuckling, kissing her cheek.

She didn't respond, but he knew and continued. He finished washing and rinsing and tied it up so it was off her back, then slowly guiding her to the bath, the hot water was good to soak in for her muscles. She lent on the edge of the bath and lovingly looked up at him, he returned the look. He lowered down and kissed her so softly on her lips, they both felt as if their kisses gave each other strength, it made them feel warm inside.

She passed him her wash cloth smiling at a very pleased Kuzan who loved to help wash her.

They gazed affectionately at each other for a moment, then his hand wondered down into the water heading for her body, he softly, slowly stroked her thighs, he continued his gaze but she looked away, blushing, he was smiling but she knew this. His hand was slowly edging closer to be between her thighs, he soon reached there and began moving his fingers on her, she adjusted herself slightly on him. He continued his pace, then began moving a little faster, she gripped onto his arm, he was using fast and slow motions. He slowly entered her with his fingers, causing her to gasp with pleasure and moan out, writhing in pleasure. He was slowly, gently moving inside her, giving her pleasure inside and out. She whimpered and breathily called his name, as he continued.

"Wow, now, you're turning me on..." He told her as he watched her respond to him. She pulled herself up onto her knees, embracing him, he kissed her slowly, tenderly. He picked up his pace until she reached her high, pulling his fingers out and holding her properly and tenderly as she was catching her breath, holding him back and enjoying her climax. He smiled widely, pulling her in even closer.

"Awh look at you!" He said adoringly as they released themselves from their embrace. Her cheeks where flushed, she was smiling contentedly, they giggled and rubbed noses and he lowered her back into the bath, sighing, smiling contently.

She lent on her arms on the bath side and asked,

"Kuzan, can you tell me some pirate stories, or tell me some stories from the ships, from the sea as an admiral?!" She eagerly asked.

"What kind of stories do you want to hear?" He asked, grabbing a cloth and washing her back, feeling that her body was still flushed, smiling to himself.

"I don't mind, anything!" She excitedly replied.

"Hm, you'd probably not enjoy the current stories now, but I can tell you some things from my Marine days." He pondered, sounding a little sad.

"You don't have to. If you don't want to. I'm sorry..." She added, now feeling bad,

"Stop, don't be sorry!" his voice was more serious, He smiled at her, reassuring her.

He lent his back against the bath and thought, she moved closer to be nearer him.

"I'll tell you about Garp and Zephyr." His voice has a more elevated tone. He thought that these stories would be more fun to tell.

"OK!" She rest her head on her arms.

He started his stories and there was a lot to tell, but he couldn't tell her all he wanted today as the bath had gone cold. He helped her out and they both got dressed. They rested by the fire, holding each other, slowly drifting to sleep.

She muttered his name in her sleep,

"I'm here" He comforted, kissing the top of her head also stroking her head comfortingly.

A while later they slowly woke up, Kuzan was first to wake, he gently woke her up. The fire had nearly gone out, but they where wrapped up warm in blankets and in each others embrace to keep warm.

"Hey, sweetheart, did you sleep well?" He softly asked.

"Mhmm" She hazily started to wake. Sitting herself up, sighing, he sat up and stretched.

"Do you want something to eat?" She asked, feeling hungry herself and Kuzan must be as well,

"Sure, sounds good." He always enjoyed her food.

She put on a jumper and they left to the dining hall, where the kitchen also was.

"Is there something you'd like?" She pondered to him.

She was curious as he probably didn't get many choices nowadays. She looked thoughtful,

"You choose for me." He smiled. Leaning on his hand, watching her,

"You got this!" He tried to encourage as he saw her frustration.

She was getting frustrated and confused, until eventually deciding. As she was cooking, she changed her mind half way and it was a bit of a mix, much to his surprise.

"Enjoy!" She awkwardly cheered.

Thrandr suddenly entered, following the smell.

"Ooh, is there any left?" He peered around the door.

"Yes. Help yourself. I'll find Hrafn he probably hasn't eaten yet." She declared, leaving, she stroked Kuzan's shoulder as she passed him.

She always cooked in big batches as everyone always wanted to eat. She looked for Hrafn in his room, in the main hall, but couldn't find him.

She heard some commotion outside, she went to investigate and heard his voice, there was people circling him and another man. She cautiously approached,

"Excuse me.." She tried to get past but they wouldn't move, and they where making a lot of noise making it hard for her to focus, she tried calling out to him.

"Oi, let her through" Hrafn bossily demanded.

"Hrafn, what are you doing?" She asked him, concerned but not surprised looking at his bloody nose.

"I'm in the middle of something Thór." He said, rather calmly but with a sense if business, getting closer to her.

"Yes. I can see that." She sassily replied, Inspecting his nose.

"I've made some food for everyone, take it or leave it. I don't think it will won't last long." She told him, everyone there laughed. She looked scared, Hrafn was quick to her defence.

"Shut up, all of you!" He aggressively shouted at them, pointing his axe at them.

"She's got you domesticated." One of them joked.

"You wanna test me?" He was being threatening, he edged closer to the man, peering over him in a scrappy way. Hrafn then head butted the man, he fell to the floor, he was screaming out.

"Hrafn, are you coming?" She sighed, just wanting to know, getting a little agitated.

"Yeah, I'll be right there Thór, I'll just finish fighting this lot." He explained, Hrafn and another man started a one on one.

"It won't last..don't say I didn't tell you." She said walking away.

"And Hrafn, please don't come in covered in blood." She shouted over at him as she left, she really hoped he wouldn't.

She arrived back to Kuzan and Thrandr in the dining hall,

"Couldn't find him?" Thrandr asked, as he enjoyed his dinner.

"I found him outside, scrapping." She sat down and sighed.

"He's just finishing his fight." She explained to them and then began to eat with them.

"Huh, This is a weird mix." Thrandr thought aloud. Thórunn sighed.

"I know. I'm sorry about that. I got confused half way." She explained. Now Thrandr was confused.

"It's perfect." Kuzan put his hand on her comfortingly, she smiled.

Just as they where finishing up, Hrafn ran in.

"Am I too late?" He was worried he missed out.

"Yes" Thórunn joked.

"Hrafn! I said no blood!" She complained. Giving him a slightly disgusted look.

He waved at Kuzan, greeting him. Wiping some blood with his sleeve.

He grabbed a plate, helped himself and went to sit at the table with them, almost sitting on her playfully as he sat down, she pushed him off and he smiled with thanks and with hint of playfulness.

"This is good, but why is it so random?" He asked, contemplating it.

"She got confused" Thrandr briefly explained, laughing a little.

"Oh, ok, happens." He shrugged, he continued to eat.

Thórunn severed Thrandr and Kuzan some more,

"Is there rice pudding?" Hrafn asked, curious, excited and suspenseful.

"Eat that first." She wanted him to eat properly first.

"Yes mum" He laughed.

"But is there?" Thrandr asked, they both looked at her with puppy eyes.

"Mhmm.." She smiled at them, they cheered, they had such big appetites.

"So, what have you been up to?" Hrafn asked Thórunn.

"She's been slipping on mud today, it was so funny!" Thrandr told him, laughing, she sarcastically rolled her eyes.

"Sounds it!" Hrafn laughed with him.

"Ehh!, if you both keep laughing at me, I won't give you any of the rice pudding!hmph" She declared, folding her arms, she tried to be stern but in a playful way, but she didn't sound threatening, her voice was always too soft. Regardless, they both put their hands up, giving themselves to her mercy.

"Sorry!" They both said together

"So, tell me about your day?" Hrafn asked again.

Kuzan was amused by them, there was never a dull moment. She breifly told him.

As they finished up, Frethi and Tomo arrived back, they had been on a trip to visit another kingdom and it's rulers.

"No more! Save some for them!" Thórunn told Thrandr and Hrafn,

They entered the dining hall,

"Hey everyone!" Frethi greeted them happily.

"This looks nice" Tomo said to them all at the table, lowering his head, nodding at Kuzan, as did Frethi.

She ran over to them, both hugging them.

"Ahh, we missed you!" Tomo smiled at her. Frethi and Tomo squeezed her tightly,

"Any left for us?" Tomo asked, noticing the empty plates. Then both letting go.

"Help yourself!" She smiled and pointed over to the pot. Looking proud.

"Yeah, it does smell good!" Frethi said, putting his bags down and he went over to the pot and contemplated by it, looking over at Thórunn, then back at it again.

"OK. .. Let's have some," He shrugged, serving some for himself and Tomo. She served Thrandr, Hrafn and Kuzan their second rice pudding.

"Where's Feykir tonight?" Frethi asked them.

"He's having date night with Kaimi" Thórunn replied to him.

They all ate the rice pudding together, then they all headed their separate ways for the evening.
