we are the storm and the wicked inside

He was silent for a bit after her question, and she watched as he thoughtfully finished the bite of hare he had in his mouth. His words made her feel a little more relaxed, glad that he didn't hate the spot they had set up in camp. That meant he was happy, or at least happy enough she didn't need to worry about it. Sanngriðr could be left to worry about him as she always did. Iðunn hmmed softly in agreement at his comment about the weather; it was a bit warmer than she was used to, and the sun patterns were wildly different already, seeming to set and rise at the same time regardless of the time of year. But overall, it wasn't that bad, and she could maybe get used to it with time.
Víðarr continued speak without her needing to prompt him, and had she not had such good control of her emotions she would've raised her brows in surprise. This was the most words she had ever heard him speak in such a short timeframe, and so she let him continue to speak uninterrupted. He raised a question of his own, and to that she offered a shrug of her shoulders and a sharp click of her tongue. It was not too bad, but it could also definitely be better. "It's a bit warm, I'm hoping the Summers here aren't too intense but... I think with time, we can make this place feel like home.".
She then fell quiet again, allowing her gaze to flick between the marble rocks, taking in the different streaks of colour. Iðunn didn't want to watch him too intensely and make him feel self-conscious, even though her usual demeanour was one of staring almost unblinkingly at others. This was a bit more of a delicate conversation, and so she would keep her staring to a minimum. Finally she spoke up again, her words soft and gentle, as if trying to calm down a raging beast. "Do you think of home often?" That was the question she had really wanted to ask him, to find out what he knew and what he was thinking about, and hopefully it wouldn't shut him down and make him go quiet.
