The question amused and confused her. She gave him a weak, teasing smile, as one eyebrow rose in question.
"Here, in yehr house? Or here, in yehr room?" It was an important distinction.

"All of it," He retorted smirking a little in return.

"Well, I likes it in yehr room, very, very much." She reached in and tweaked his abs with a playful pinch. "And I loves yehr house, and yehr family." A twist of anxiety turned her stomach, and her expression fell. "But I'm still worried yehr family thinks bad of me now. Especially since I just made you storm off.."
First impressions meant so much to her. And she'd blown it, in more ways than one.

There was a squeak from him when she tweaked his abs, more for affect than anything else. When she went on as her expression fell he reached up and brushed a hand over her cheek, "Ah, Túkut, they do not demand perfection. As long as you make me happy then they are fine. From what I can tell they already like you a great deal. In time they'll love you."
He gave her a small kiss again before he went on.
"They want you to be yourself not some super perfect being. I said something that upset you and then in turn I got upset. As far as I recall you didn't leave the table with them haranguing you along the way." Kettil explained quietly as he brushed some errant hair from her face, he wanted to make sure his words got through. He'd completely and purposely dropped the situation where she'd stabbed him with a fork because it was forgiven and over with.

She did not look convinced. "Yeh says these things, but I just don't knows what they're really thinkings in their head." She let out a sharp sigh, leaning into his touch. "I just hopes I can make up for teh disruption." She turned her head to kiss the palm of his hand, and focused on the warmth and comfort of his arms to calm the nerves that kept riling up at the thought of his family downstairs.
"I still ruined yehr family dinner." She grumbled unhappily. "And yehr goings teh needs teh actually eat, yeh knows."

"It'll be fine," he insisted, he was stubborn sometimes. "I am sure you can make up for it easy, if it is that important to you," he replied and smiled a bit at the kiss to his palm.
At her insistence that he should eat he tilted his head and smiled a bit, "I ate enough. Are you concerned that I'm just going to fade out in the middle of something?"
The implication was heavy and obvious.

She was concerned, but not for that. She dipped her head in when he made the implication, and snickered against his skin. "Yes, that is exactly it." She lied. "Yeh needs all yehr strength for me, I don't plan on goings easy. Yeh should probably go back downstairs and has two or three more helpings of food. Or else I'm sure yeh just won't last."

It was good to make her laugh so easily. Kettil shook his head a bit and just stayed put, "I don't wanna. I'm a little put off with my Gran as well. She had no business askin' that and she knows it."
Kettil knew better than to demand apologies from his elders, especially that one. She never apologized. Ever.

At that, Freya had to agree. She wanted to love all of his family, but that question put her off of his grandmother just a little bit. It just.. wasn't right that everybody knew now. And it was her fault, not Kettil's.
Suddenly, Freya felt a lot better about disrupting dinner. The guilt floated away, and she cuddled up against Kettil happily. "Then ******** it." She growled. "We stays here."
Cuddling on Kettil's bed was, in fact, her idea of a wonderful use of time.

Kettil smiled a bit and held onto her just a little bit tighter now, "Sounds like a plan," he said softly as he leaned and kissed her cheek now. "Sorry for her, she's usually not this ... uh...troublesome. Gran is very sweet, I promise. Think...she was testing you a bit to see what you would do. Testing me too."
The boil found himself making an excuse for his elders but sometimes it felt needed.

Freya knew that the woman was testing, but it was the result she was disappointed in. "Yeh, but I thinks we failed that test." She muttered, with a returning pout. "I'm worried about the next times I goes downstairs and sees her."
But when she really thought about it.. "I guess it could have been worse," She admitted, sounding a little sore.

"I...don't know if we 'failed' or could fail. Think she was more testing on how far she could push us. That isn't a failure as much as her getting ready to ask you more questions," he muttered under his breath. He smiled a bit as she mentioned her worries about seeing Grandmother again, "Don't worry! She will lighten up. She's just... a trickster."
Yes. A trickster. An evil wrinkly trickster.
Kettil chuckled a bit, "It could have gone many ways but...we're still here, right?"

"Well of course we're still here." Freya retorted quickly, quirking a brow. "Where else would we be? This is yehr home. This is where we belongs."

..That was a good point. She giggled at the imagery, pressing her face against his neck. "All right, yeh gots me. But yeh knows, with a temper like mine, there's always a chance that might happen before this is all through." She kissed his neck. "Yeh goings teh gives up on me then?"
