"No. I'm done eating." He said simply his expression oddly neutral for the fact that she was in the room with him. "Seems getting stabbed in the hand with a fork makes me lose my appetite. Funny how that happens."

She wanted to tell him her mind, right then and there. She wanted to explain why she'd done what she did, but she had her priorities, and she was going to try, really hard, to reign her anger in until it was appropriate.
"Quit it." She nudged him with one foot. "This isn't about eatings. This is about beings with yehr family. Without some bimbo disturbing yehr get togethers. So go back downstairs already, before dinner is over." She sounded rather serious about it, and her nudging foot was trying to push him off the bed.

He sort of jerkily moved and grabbed her foot and firmly (yet somehow gently) pushed it back closer to her body. "No. I don't want them to see me like this. I don't want them to see me being this angry. I have time to talk to them and be with them, one dinner isn't going to ruin everything."
Kettil sounded serious. Serious and stubborn.

Angry? He was angry? Freya's priorities flew out the window as he lit the blaze of her fire. She stared at him for a full minute, before letting out a frustrated screech.
"Hooter, yeh told yehr whole family that I let yeh gets my intimates without even askings me if that was okay! WHICH IT ISN'T!" No, she was definitely sure she was the one meant to be mad here. "I was tryings so hard, so hard teh makes a good impression on yehr family, and now all they're thinkings about is that the ghoul their son brought home is easy."
Her eyes stung with tears. She almost felt like laughing, it was such a terrible feeling. "Yeh made me feels like.. like I was.."
She relented before saying the words that came to mind, and shook her head. This was Kettil, after all. She knew, deep down, he hadn't meant it like that. But she still felt a little cheap.

He sat there and let her yell and screech all she wanted. If it wasn't for the brief hurt look on his face she might as well have been doing so at a wall as he tilted his head away from her and just placed his hands against his lap and just sat there, "For one thing? I'm sorry that it hurt you." He said quite frankly to her.
"For another thing? I was taught to never lie about anything, especially not to Gran. She sees right through it Freya," the thing that probably would have hurt him more than a fork to the hand would be the look of disappointment on his grandmother's face.
Kettil drew himself up to his feet, "I'm sorry you feel ashamed that we make love. So ashamed that you'd prefer to hide it. I was shocked but I certainly wasn't going to hide it..."
There was a clenching of hands and he sort of turned to her again and just raised an eyebrow, "I am sorry if our activities make you feel less than you should be. I'll try keep that in mind."

Kettil's words stung her like knives. "I don't-" She'd immediately tried to interrupt him when he claimed she was ashamed they made love, but he just continued talking, shutting her up. In the end, the way he talked about it made it seem like she was in the wrong here. And she wasn't. She couldn't have been.
Was she?
"I'm not SAYINGS that." Her voice faltered when she railed against his words, because she didn't know if it was true. She never felt ashamed of what they did, but with family..
"I just.." Her hands came up in the air as she mentioned people. "Yehr mama. Yehr papa. Yehr little sisters don't needs teh knows-" The frustration built up, and then came out in one big sigh. "My papa would have pummelled yeh into dust if yeh'd said that." Her hands dropped to the bed again, and she pouted, closing her eyes. "I don't.. I don't know.."
Her head fell down into her knees, and she cried. She cried because she couldn't even tell what was right or wrong, anymore.

Kettil let out a frustrated grunt and suddenly crawled back onto bed and just sat across from her and reached out for her hands, "I wasn't gonna go into grand details about it, Freya. I wasn't going to say more than I had to. M'family doesn't care about that sorta thing and ... Compared to Onyx...What my Sisters heard was pretty damned tame."
It seemed Kettil had at least a little tact.
"As for having asked you first, what'd ya want me to do with that question dropped on my lap like that? Drag you out of the room and have a quick chat about it? That would have made it look worse than what it was and I wasn't thinkin' she would just drop it like that." Kettil said as he still reached for her hands just so she knew that while he was mad at her? He wasn't going to strand her in an unfamiliar place.

His family didn't care about that sort of thing.
"Well mine does." The sound of her crying came through the muffled retort mumbled against the skin of her knees. She didn't know how to handle being in this new environment as well as she'd thought she could. And she'd been so excited about it earlier.. she just wanted them all to love her and think she was perfect and not..
Not this.
"I don't know what I wanted, but it wasn't that. I would have lied teh my parents. I just expected the same." She couldn't see his hands, as her face was buried between her knees, so when they touched her hands, she rose her head up just enough to see where he was. Her eyes were red with tears.
"I don't know how teh handles this, Hooter. I don'r knowwww."

When she pointed out that hers did he grunted a little, "That's why you get to field the question if you ever bring me to meet them," he retorted back at her a bit more irritated sounding than what he meant to. Basically there was no right way for them to have handled this situation just then. Not with them being so young.
Kettil just stared at her when she looked at him and sighed a bit, "Freya. No one thinks you are an awful person. My grandmother didn't start berating you, no one did. My mother didn't stand up with righteous indignation that you deflowered me or something."
Saying that out loud made him feel silly but still.
"The point is ... As far as I could tell ... no one regarded you any more differently than when you first arrived." He said quietly. "Just...Take it one day at a time. This was supposed to be a good thing for us...?"

Just because his family seemed to take their intimacy with a grain of salt didn't make her feel any less like a terrible person for it. It was too deeply ingrained in her, and she shuddered at the thought.
"Of course I will." She murmured quietly. "The moment my papa asks, he'll get the same answer he's gotten from all nine of us every time he's ever had the balls to ask the question. He doesn't needs teh knows." The ghouls were so used to lying to their father by now, that it had become more for his sake, than their own. His perfect, precious, pristine daughters.
Hah.
Looking up into Kettils eyes at the last question, she felt a stab of guilt that reminded her of the stab she'd given him. She'd ruined the trip, either way - even if she didn't feel cheap anymore, she still felt guilt for what happened. She reached out and took the hand she'd poked, pulling it closer. "I didn't really hurts yeh, did I..?"

"Course. I'm sorry it upset you...I just..." It was a little too much pressure for Kettil to be under at that exact moment. Kettil knew there were several other answers he could have made but he'd honestly blanked out.
As she took his hand he uttered a quiet sigh and smiled a bit, "Hurt more emotionally than it did physically," he said simply, at least the worst she'd done was cause four red marks to appear from irritation of the skin but no blood.

Freya pulled the hand up to her lips, and pressed them gently against the little red marks, letting her kiss remain there on his skin for as long as she dared before finally pulling away and looking up at him. Her lower lip jutted out in a thick pout.
"'M sorry, baby." She whispered out quietly.

He watched her and found that during this entire conversation? He wasn't mad at her anymore. The anger faded into annoyance, into frustration, and now? He was alright again. He still felt guilt for having made he cry, but he wasn't angry with her anymore. All he felt was affection as she kissed where she'd stabbed his hand.
Kettil leaned forward a bit and kissed her lightly on the pouty lips, "I forgive you as long as you forgive me."

As soon as Kettil moved forward, her hands snaked around his shoulders, pulling him closer. Her legs buckled to rest underneath her so she could hug him against her, and when he kissed her, the pout disappeared. "Okay." She could have forgived him a million things, and hoped that every time she had to forgive him in the future, it would feel like this.
Her lips stole another kiss, and another. She wasn't angry, anymore.

When her legs moved and her arms began to hug him closer he moved himself to get a lot more comfortable and drape his own arms around her in return. She stole another kiss and he returned it allowing the kiss to linger.
"You like it here?" He asked softly, he didn't pull away very far but just enough to ask the question. Despite their fight he wanted her to enjoy her stay here.
