Tyr continued walking throughout the fresh onslaught of words, wondering to himself again how she did that. She was making him feel dizzy, and he had a momentary urge to cover the fawn's ears. Or put the fawn down and cover his own. But he had made a promise, and now he had to stick to it. He didn't always do so, and probably would break more in the future, but doing the honorable thing would always be his first choice in such matters.
Listening as she ticked off her relatives, he wanted to ask what her aspects were. With a family like that, he would have expected something dark, but there didn't seem to be a bit of that nature to her. She was as far from "dark" as one could imagine.
Before he could even open his mouth to ask, or to comment on her finally giving him her name, she headed off toward the trees. Toward the wolves that had again begun to pursue them.
Odin's beard! How had he gotten caught up in this? He should have just pointed her in the right direction and made her and the fawn make their own way to the Rainbow. But no, he had to offer to help. Dammit.
If she thought he was condescending before, it would be nothing compared to his next response. "If you get attacked, I am going to have no choice but to set this fawn down to help you. And if I set this fawn down, I am willing to bet that it will quickly become breakfast."
Tyr had never met someone so easily distracted, or so ridiculously...well, ridiculous. She wanted to know about the lake, now she just wanted to what? Confront the wolves? Scare them off? A single, slight woman against a pack of wolves? Goddess or not, she wasn't going to get very far.
He almost expected her to offer them muffins.
"Please come back."
Maybe he should call on his father, and ask him to send his wolves. They might eye up the fawn, but it would be in no danger with Tyr around. And they just might scare off the others. They were pretty big.
