Stonegit/Blunt: The news of Rhenco’s arrest, enforced contract, and solidified weakness had reassured Stonegit enough to take a trip to the island with Blunt for some of his free time. His personal replacements and Snag had been set to guard the King, along with a swarm of well trained terrible terrors ready to scorch anything that threatened his kids. Now, it was time to actually relax, and catch up with some friend. 
Blunt put an arm around Stonegit’s waste. “Alright hot stuff I’m gonna go find the infamous Miss Black while you find your demoness mistress. Don’t do anything I would do while I’m away.”
Stonegit shook his head and took hold of one of his beard braid. “Bend down.” He said, and kissed him sweetly before letting go.
“Bend over.” Blunt shot back against his lips.
Stonegit’s smacked his chest as he made his way towards the other side of town. “Go away. I’ll catch up with you later.”
Blunt made a smooching noise as he blew him a kiss, and then spun on his heel. He trudged though the main town, and when he caught sight of Akkey in the distance, he smirked as he leaned up against a wall. “Oh man…!” He called mischievously. “Someone over there has an extremely slappable ass! I sure hope she doesn’t have the ability to randomly send water shooting into my face.”
Akkey Black: Akkey froze in her spot, the heat rising up her face as she saw Haligan residents whispering to themselves at his words. She whirled around, laughing, still shooting a tendril towards his face even she knew he’d dodge. She ran to him joyfully, and jumped at him for a full hug, “Shut up!”
Blunt Donz: “Ah!” Blunt half roared as he picked her up in a huge bear hug and smooched the side of her head, as he usually did. He swung her back and forth for a moment and then set her down. “Akkey Black.” He said with a smile. “How are you this fine day darling?”
Akkey Black: “Fine,” she grinned up at him, a little tired around her eyes, before wrinkling her nose at him, “Well… not completely, but still fine. What are you doing on Haligan? Where’s Stonegit?”
Blunt Donz: “He’s off looking for his friend. I honestly think the man has a complex.” Blunt sighed as they began to walk down the street. “We got some time off and figured we’d catch up with some friends. Now…” He draped an arm around her. “You know I won’t just let a comment like that slide, what’s bothering you deary?” 
Akkey Black: “Rememember Frigga?” she leaned into him, realizing she had missed the comfort of his presence in the years. She laughed humourlessly, “She’s back.”
Blunt Donz: Blunt didn’t know Frigga personally until he and Akkey had started talking more years back. But he knew the kind of effect the had on his friend. He gripped her shoulder. “I remember.” He said seriously. “What happened?”
Akkey Black: They came up to the edge of the forest away from the main village. She hopped up on a boulder and sat down, looking towards the sea that surrounded them, “She took Eir and Hunter. I don’t know what the Hel she did. We managed to get Hunter’s soul back, but now she has Eir, and she’s threatening a friend of mine.” She looked down on him, and he saw the same shadow over her eyes. Less concentrated, less manic, but still present.
Blunt Donz: Blunt squeezed her arms a few times as if to comfort her. “I know Hel is taking the hands off approach to most things but is she really letting another god mess with her personal agent? Isn’t that a little risky on Frigga’s part?”
Akkey Black: She motioned for him to sit beside her before shrugging, “I don’t know. She seemed pretty confident that Milae would still give himself up to her, because she has something he wants. I don’t know what she has up her sleeve.”
Blunt Donz: “Damn…” Blunt said as he settled on the rock. “That old hag does not need to keep screwing with people…” he frowned. “But with ragnarok being over, doesn’t that cause a problem? Like…would Hel even allow Milae to surrender himself to Frigga?”
Akkey Black: “Milae is not aligned to Hel. His situation is… complicated. I don’t understand it well myself.”
She leaned on his arm with a sigh, “I was helping him do something about it the other night, it didn’t really go so well…”
Blunt Donz: “Huh…that’s uh…kinda weird..”
Akkey could see the gears turning in his head. Something was cooking up behind the brow of us.
Akkey Black: “What are you thinking of, Sir Blunt.”
Blunt Donz: “I’m thinking it feels off considering what Hel did back in the day. I mean…she orchestrated the lake events through Pitch, and Sweet Butt losing his mind, all so that she could eventually corner Haddock into surrendering his and the rebellions souls to her. And then she forced you to swallow whole towns, lined everyone up for war. Like…she deliberately acted like a huge bitch and people hated her, and she knew that was gonna happen. But she was desperate cause everyone’s immortal souls were on the line. Then she got her ass kicked over and over again until she eventually killed or subdued her whole family…just so our futures were secure and…”
He twisted his mouth to one side. “And so that no other God would be able to mess with or have us for their own. Now…Stone’s follows Hel but he has trust issues with her. I follow her but I’m not really the pinnacle of a good kid…and shes made it pretty clear that shes intends to lay claim to anyone no matter what…”
He leaned against her in turn. “So what I’m thinking is…considering all that…why would she ever let Frigga have a soul? Whether it was surrendered to her or not?”
Akkey Black: “I… don’t know,” she stretched her legs in front of her, swinging them freely in thought, “Frigga hasn’t really done anything either other than hold Eir and send empty threats. I just don’t know why she’s so insistent that Milae would come to her, Hel is more powerful than she is.” He did mention that Duri person…
“Huh. You might be onto something,” she leaned her head to the side, looking up at him with wide eyes.
Blunt Donz: “This Eir person…is she a human?” Blunt asked.
Akkey Black: “No. Remember that little girl you smashed to bits back in Ragnarok?” she snickered at the memory, “That’s her sister or something. Eir’s a goddess.”
Blunt Donz: Blunt looked even more confused. “Oh yeah that…still…it seems pretty inattentive on Hel’s part. Letting Frigga, a known trouble maker, bebop around with another God captive, with in intention to extort Milae. I mean…its possible thats all it is. Just seems odd. Then again Hel was always the type to flip the script with a click of her fingers. So if she thinks you guys can handle it…I guess you guys can handle it.”
Akkey Black: “Ehhh…” she sighed, “I guess. I just want to fix all of this already. I’m tired. The nightmares come back sometimes, and Maya’s worried sick for everyone,” She leaned back on her hands, watching the clouds pass by, “Sorry. Didn’t mean to bombard you with all of this…”
Blunt Donz: “Are you kidding? This is our bread and butter darling.” Blunt sighed, and then got a wistful look on his face. “You know…if it weren’t for talks like this…Sweet Butt and I never would have made it.”
“It would’ve worked out…” she glanced up at him, remembering talks long into the night, many tears that flowed, and the comfort each brought, “How are things now?”
Blunt Donz: “Things are great. They have been for ages its just… ” Blunt remembered the first three years he and Stonegit had put their hand into making a relationship. He gave a slow shake. “It really wouldnt have though. I appreciate optimism. But no…he and I both needed a lot of help back then.”
Akkey Black: She patted his hand comfortingly, “Well… I’m glad I could help one way or another. You got through it. Just like you helped me get through mine.”
Blunt Donz: “Well…” He squoze her hand once as he continued to stare up at the sky. “I’ve been wanting to be there for my friends, for a change.”
Akkey Black: Friends.
Her mind raced back to Fiendal. She gazed at Blunt curiously with wide, unblinking, green eyes, thoughts turning in her head.
“Hey. Look at me.”
Blunt Donz: “Hm?” Blunt hummed, but turned to look at her as he did so.
Akkey Black: She stared at him for an awfully long time, contemplating, thinking, wondering. She thought of 25 years ago when they first met, of the cathartic conversations they had, of the close friendship and platonic love they built in time. She wondered why she thought of his eyes when Fiendal told her his feelings.
Blunt Donz: Blunt titled his head, and he remembered his confusion from earlier, as to where he had a conversation from his past. An almost unspoken understanding cross his face, and he gave a sad smile. “Come here.” He said, and pulled her close into a hug, letting the side of his head rest against hers.
Akkey Black: She stayed there, folding her hands on her lap, still thinking hard to herself. Finally she spoke, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.” She raised her hands and squeezed his cheeks, as she always did, grinning, “It might please you to know that Fiendal’s alive.”
Blunt Donz: “You know a part of me felt the- I beg your pardon what?” Blunt blinked as he realized the conversation had taken a sudden left turn. “Hooked and handsome is still kicking? I thought for sure he had died?!”
Akkey Black: “Mhm,” she smiled, turning her head away. Part of her was glad for the change of subject. The other part wanted to keep talking. It’s nothing, and it should stay that way. “He might not remember you though. Hel brought him back, but he’s… different. His memories are jumbled up.”
Blunt Donz: “Riencarnating folk already huh? Nice Hel…” Blunt murmured. “I wish I would say I was shocked. But it’s happened too many time. Huh…maybe I’ll be able to pick him up again. That was pretty cool.”
He turned to look back down at her. “Now come on deary. I know that look on your face. Somethings eating at you.”
Akkey Black: “Nuh-uh, nope,” she slid down the rock in a panic and started walking towards the trees, calling over her shoulder, “I’m fine!”
Blunt Donz: Blunt danced along beside her, twirling once as he got in her way and caught her hand. “Oh come on. You and I may have dealt with a lot of things but dusty air between us wasnt one of them. If you dont say it I will.” He said with a laugh in his voice.
Akkey Black: “Don’t!” she pointed at him, blushing furiously but laughing with him, “Don’t do it!” she was already regretting starting this conversation.
Blunt Donz: He spread his hands easily, and gave a grin. “Come on…” he said. And there was no tension in his voice. No uncertainty or embarrassment. No regret, and not even really any surprise.
“You liked me. Didnt ya?”
Akkey Black: “Ugh. I can’t believe you said it.”
She stared up at him, hands clenched behind her back, face the reddest he’d ever seen it be. Her eyes glinted green in the sunlight. A gust of wind blew around them, and in that quick moment, they looked like they were young again.
Blunt Donz: Blunt gave her a warm, calm smile. “And what’s so wrong with saying it?” He asked as he took her arms and looked at her meaningfully. “I liked you too deary.”
Akkey Black: “Because then it’ll start messing with my head again, and you’re my best friend, Stonegit’s a good friend too, and I feel horrible for Fiendal, and–” she shot him a surprised look, “Wait, what? You did?”
Blunt Donz: “Yes!” Blunt laughed. “There was a reason I didnt even attempt to tap either of your asses right after that first battle where I thought I was going to die. I knew I liked you both, and for once I wanted to do the right thing and not take either of you lightly.”
He sighed with a shake in his head. “Look I dont know why all the stars aligned one way…” An image of an untouched couch, a cottage fireplace, and a lake flashed in his mind. “Or the other…” He added, the words, for some reason, carrying weight to them. “But it doesn’t matter.”
He took her hands. “We became close. We were there for one another. I can’t even say best friend cause…well…something Sweet Butt always said. Something he got from your dad actually.”
“We are what we are to one another.”
Akkey Black: She stared at him, holding his hands so tightly. The smallest pinprick of tears threatened to fall, and he could tell. She was always the biggest crybaby.
Akkey leaned her head to the side in defeat, hair shifting to where her ears used to be. She sighed, “You’re important to me. I don’t ever, ever want to lose you.”
Blunt Donz: “Darling, you’re never going to.” Blunt answered, and pulled his hands away only long enough to wrap them around her in a tight hug.
Blunt’s hugs were always one of the best, because his arms embraced her fully, engulfing her in his warmth. She buried her face into him, knowing the waterworks would come even if she tried to stop them. “Great, I’m stuck with you forever…” she mumbled, giving a half hearted chuckle.
Blunt Donz: “Yeah you are.” Blunt said. He figured he’d keep a hold of her until she stopped crying. It was the least he could do. “Its honestly all very flattering you know?” He told her.
Akkey Black: She lifted her head away from him, rubbing away at her tear stained cheeks, and snorted lightly, “What, that I fell for you and didn’t realize it until two decades later? Hah.”
Blunt Donz: “Come on what good would it have done you back then?” Blunt said, tapping her forehead. “No sense in pining over a stud like me when you had a whole family to catch up with.” He hummed once thoughtfully. “But yeah…it is.”
Akkey Black: She wrinkled her nose in a huff at the motion, rubbing the spot he tapped. “Why?”
Blunt Donz: Blunt snorted a half laugh. “Well aren’t you flattered that I liked you?”
Akkey Black: “I mean, I guess…” she pursed her lips, looking away for a moment, “But that’s because no one really likes me like that. Other than–” she stopped herself, biting her lip.
Blunt Donz: “Ha!” Blunt pointed as he pointed at her. “You couldnt even finish that sentence! Akkey in all the years I’ve known you I have two things well established. One, hardly anyone in this world is good enough for someone like you. And two, you vehemently disagree with that cause of your self depreciating nature.”
He folded his arms with raises eyebrows. “So yes. Me realizing I had caught your eye is quite flattering. Also, there have been plenty of people interested in you. You just weren’t particularly interested in them.”
Akkey Black: She exhaled in a huff. She almost felt like sticking her tongue out at him like a child, trying to argue but knowing she’d lose like before. She grumbled a little, settling on the ground, staring up at him, still red faced. Admittedly, she was curious, “Yeah? Like who?”
Blunt Donz: “Riff raff here and there. Of whome they assumed I was your boyfriend and gave up. There’s been a few handsome fellas around the village I’ve caught glancing your way. And if I’m not mistaking there was an absolute hunk here at the Rebellion that liked you too.” Blunt answered easily.
Akkey Black: “Huh.” she mused; she knew he was talking about Fiendal, but the others… she genuinely hadn’t noticed. She sighed, defeated, “Why must you always make sense.”
Akkey peered at her feet through her lashes absentmindedly, “He still does, he told me a few days ago.”
Blunt Donz: “Because for all my flaws I capitalize on discernment. I’ve even gotten through to Haddock on some things. And oooooo.” He added as he punched her shoulder lightly. “Someone knows how to hold onto an old flame. So how was the sex?”
Akkey Black: She slapped his arm in humour, “It’s not like that. Fiendal’s a good friend, that’s it.” She looked up to the sky, “Besides, I told you he came back different.”
Blunt Donz: Blunt caught her hand and pulled her into a sideways hug. “Alright, alright, whatever you say dearest.” He squinted an eye. “What kind of different are we talking about here?”
Akkey Black: “Ah–err…” she hesitated. Fiendal was always worried about how he would be perceived by others, how they would react to finding out his true nature. But she knew Blunt wouldn’t be like that, “Different as in, non-human. Like… demon.”
Blunt Donz: Blunt’s eyes flew open. “Demon?!” He asked in some surprise. His eyes flickered, and then he slowly pointed at her. “You mean you’re…” He drew a breath. “Outrageously kinky in that case? ”
Akkey Black: “No!” she pushed his finger away from her, looking at him incredulously. She laughed, cheeks tinted pink, “Shut up! It’s not like that!”
“You’re ridiculous. I’ve been the one talking all this time; what have you been up to, you troublemaker?”
Blunt Donz: “Me? A troublemaker? Perish the thought.” Blunt practically sang, and then gave a sigh. “I haven’t been up to too much. The tavern, halfway house for wayward kids mashup has been doing well. And I think I have solidified myself as the favored grandfather among the group.”
Akkey Black: She chuckled, letting her gaze wander, “I still can’t imagine you being a guardian for a bunch of kids, the royal ones no less. You need a guardian.”
“Stonegit was always preoccupied with that though, how’d you manage to get away?” she asked curiously.
Blunt Donz: Blunt hisses a little. “Not gonna lie, Sweet Butts been taking more time off these days since your dad passed. I mean, he’s diligent as Hel. He just…well I think Egil also schedules more days off for him so he can get him off his back.”
Blunt put his hands behind his head. “Although most of the time I just schedule my down time around his down time, which is always random, and then going off to do stuff like this when he’s super busy.”
Akkey Black: “Well…” she let her head fall on his lap so she could keep watching the sky, still tired from her portal experiments, “I for one, am glad that these times matched up this nicely. I should say hi to him later…”
Blunt Donz: “I’m honestly kinda amazed you feel that way about him still.” Blunt mused. The words weren’t unkind, but rather understanding, and also realistic. “And Stones is the same way, minus the kinda part.”
“I mean… what else can we do, hate each other forever?” she closed her eyes, listening to the wind rustle through the trees, “We both drew a bad lot those times. We were doing our jobs while still trying to survive a shitty situation, and ended up hurting each other.” A sigh escaped her lips, “It sucked, there were plenty of regrets… but…”
Blunt Donz: “See right there.” Blunt said as he rested with her. “You’re already miles ahead of other people. Or…at least…miles ahead of what you give yourself credit for.”
Akkey Black: She stretched an arm up, sunlight filtering through her fingers onto her face, casting lazy shadows, “I can’t help it. Old habits…”
Blunt Donz: “Yeah…same.” Blunt said, reflecting on his on traits and old ways of doing things that were hard to let go. “So…when are you going to get yourself a date?”
Akkey Black: “We’ll get better. We already have,” she glanced up at him with her eyes, letting her outstretched arm fall sideways, landing on his face, eyes twinkling, “Why is everyone trying to match me up with someone. Being by myself is nice too.”
Blunt Donz: Blunt chuckled, letting her arms rest over his eyes. “Its human nature. Or just mine at least.” He hummed. “Yeah being yourself was good. Honestly…I think it was the best thing for you. Between all you went through, all you had to catch up on with your family…”
He smiled. “Yeah…yeah you did good.”
