CHARACTERS: Eric Northman and Thranduil
LOCATION: The Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: vampire feedings and grumpy old elves
SUMMARY: Thranduil has summoned Eric to the Oxygen Gardens to "beg his pardon" in person.
NOTES: Continued from this IC inbox summons.


Thranduil has summoned him yet again to the Oxygen Gardens, and Eric has half a mind not to go. He's gotten enough abuse and frustration over this accidental bond to make him consider it. But Thranduil is talking about 'begging his pardon' and if Jaye put him up to this then it can't be all that bad, whatever he has in mind. At least in theory.

He doesn't need to ask where to find Thranduil, he knows instinctively where he is through their bond, and so he seeks him out, appearing without a word much the same as he did the last time. He's hoping that this will go a lot better than their last conversation. He does not have the patience that he did then, not after the way the past few weeks have gone.

Comments

Thranduil huffs out a breath as if to say Typical! but makes no further comment. Instead, he finds himself looking outward, anywhere but at Eric, and...well, he's right. It is pretty nice up here. Would be nicer with a sky above them, but for this place, it's as free as they can be. No attachment to anything, surrounded by green on every side, away from anyone who might disturb them.

Slowly, he relaxes in Eric's arms, forgetting to be afraid.

Eric notices Thranduil relaxing, and it pleases him. If he had been intending on scaring the other he would have done so in a much different way, after all. But the idea had been to share in his wonder, and it looks as though finally Thranduil is getting that as well.

"I learned how to fly in a forest, long ago," he says, suddenly, as if the thought just occurred to him and he's letting it go straight from his brain to his mouth. He probably is. "Godric taught me. When I was new."
