When I Grow Up

As Valkyrie introduced herself, Dominus' full attention was given. His dual-tone blue eyes were lifted up to her own gaze as she stood and he remained standing in place after he had gotten up. It was no surprise that he missed the subtle rising of the rivers that surrounded them, not until their water hit his toes. The sudden storm that broke out made him furrow his 'brows as he finally looked away from her in an attempt to survey the area around them and assess the situation. Fuck.

"Another time?" He grinned with some amusement as if it were a question, though he definitely started to back away from the rise of the river. He had every intention on attending the market today, though for some reason he had a lot of doubt now that he would actually make it there.

"You know this area better than I do, where can we get out of this? I'm not cut out for climbing trees if I'm being honest." He eyes the willow closest to them as he spoke, wishing he could simply wait out the flood among the branches. He was way too heavy to climb a vertical slope like that, so he simply picked up the helmet that was resting against the tree's trunk by it's straps. He wanted to wait for Valk's answer before he took off completely, but already he began shuffling away from the water's growing reach.
