Welcome to Gaia! ::

Herryk nodded in agreement to her request. No, he wouldn't tell Mac that Lizzy had cried. He could see how that might be embarrassing, something that she wouldn't want this boil to know. "Herryk promises not to say anything about the tears," he swore.

He shook his head and grinned at the compliment she paid him. Treat a ghoul right? "Herryk just treats Freya the way she deserves to be treated. Herryk wrote Freya a poem, Herryk is learning how to cook and Herryk almost knows how to sew -- he made Freya a scarf. Amrita tried her best to teach Herryk but... Herryk has big hands, better for punching. Calder is helping Herryk learn how to cook, and Tset taught Herryk more about flowers." He beamed proudly.

"Herryk needs to think of a good present to give to Freya on this date. He was thinking of .. his pin." He thought back to when Mot and Hel had exchanged pins. At the moment it hadn't meant much to the draugr, but after an explanation from Freya... this date seemed like the perfect time.

Herryk nodded happily. "Yes, a poem. Herryk gave it to Freya and then after Freya read it, she told Herryk that she loved him." It was obvious that by bringing up the topic of Freya, Lizzy was probably doomed to listen to the burly draugr talk about the virtues of his ghoulfriend until she begged him to stop.

Knitting did sound like a valid option, and Herryk would have to look into this. At the moment there were more pressing matters on his mind.

"Does Lizzy really think that Freya will like the pin? At Freya's sister's wedding, Mot gave Hel his pin and -- does Lizzy know Mot and Hel? -- and Freya said it was very romantic. Herryk would have given Freya his pin then, but... Herryk thought that he should wait. Herryk did not want to steal Mot's special moment." His broad shoulders lifted in a shrug as he reached for his mug and downed the last of the now-tepid drink.

Herryk smiled sheepishly when she reminded him of what he'd said. "Yes, yes. Lizzy is right. Herryk will not doubt Lizzy." How could he doubt her? She obviously didn't mind hearing him go on and on and on about Freya, which was a plus in his books.

His eyes widened in surprise when Lizzy spoke of Mot and Hel.

"They are dating now?! Herryk did not hear. Mot and Hel." He smiled. "Herryk wonders if Freya knows." He snapped his fingers suddenly.

"Lizzy should meet Freya!"

"Herryk will introduce Lizzy and Freya! Does Lizzy have a groanspring? Freya is on there." He looked thoughtful. "The interwebs is a good place to meet new friends. Herryk will have Freya add Lizzy if Lizzy has a groanspring." Herryk beamed at Lizzy.

"Herryk knows many boils and ghouls that are on groanspring, so if Lizzy does not have one, she should get one." He nodded sagely.

"Freya is a reaper so she lives in the reaper dorms. Just like Hel!"

Herryk burst into laughter.

"Yes, Hel and Freya are sisters. Freya is older, Hel is the baby." His eyes twinkled with amusement. Herryk thought about the other sisters, shuddering as the horror of many groping hands drifted through his mind. "Freya has a twin sister named Fulla, and there are many other sisters. Nine, Herryk thinks."

He leaned close to peer down at Lizzy's phone, "Freya's groanspring is 'GiveMeYourMeat' -- Freya likes jerky -- and Herryk's groanspring is 'deathblack'. Herryk is friends with Junko and Mort and many others. It is a good way to keep in touch with friends!"

Herryk's eyephone chimed and the draugr fished it out of a small pouch he'd started carrying it in. The pouch hung from his belt so he had to fish around for it. "Ah hah!" Holding up the successfully retrieved phone like a prize, Herryk fumbled with the buttons and the screen for a moment before making his way to his groanspring.

He promptly followed Lizzy first, and then spent a few minutes painstakingly typing on the screen.

"If Herryk tries to type too fast his fingers press all the wrong buttons," he explained before making one last tap on his phone's screen.



Herryk beamed at the pink-haired ghoul. He was very proud of his ever-expanding knowledge of the interwebs!

Herryk grinned broadly. It was nice to see Lizzy with a smile on her face, and while the draugr had just met her, Herryk would always keep an eye out for her. She'd gained herself a big brother, in a sense. Reaching forward and emptying his mug of hot (now lukewarm) chocolate, Herryk nudged Lizzy gently.

"Herryk is glad to have made Lizzy as a friend. If Lizzy ever needs anything, she can come to Herryk. Okay?"

It was important to Herryk that Lizzy know that. While the hour was growing late and they both should be heading back to their dorms soon, Herryk wanted to make sure Lizzy agreed before he said his good-nights.

Herryk grinned and returned the hug that Lizzy offered, careful not to squish her too hard.

"Yes. Herryk will walk Lizzy back to her dorm to make sure she gets there safely and then Herryk will head back to his own room." He smiled gently at the smaller ghoul. A soft expression slipped across his rugged features when she smiled at him.

"It is nothing," he said quietly, rising to his feet.
