It was the perfect mixture of the sound of Kettil's voice, coupled with his absolutely comforting words, that finally managed to pull Freya down from the ledge she'd almost immediately jumped off of. She curled herself around him, and her head snuggled into the crook of his neck. She didn't know if she even cared as much whether they liked her or not.. all she knew was, she was going to fight to keep him as hard as she could.
Then the bubble of anxiety returned, and she realized, yes, she very much cared if his family liked her, or not.
So she kissed his neck, a soft and lingering press of her lips against his skin, and pulled away to actually put clothes on.
"We'll see." She mumbled, but it was obvious by the flush of her skin and the small smile creeping up the corners of her mouth that his words had hit their mark.
She was dressed in minutes, and twirled for his opinion. "Acceptable for meetings in-laws?"

"Indeed we will," he said cheerfully now that the mood had lightened again. It took everything inside him to not get her to linger just a few moments more after the kiss on the neck, and thus he let her go finish getting dressed with a small grin.
He was watching her every move, simply because he could.
Kettil nodded with only a brief pause mid-nod as he realized what she'd said in the end. There was that odd, funny warm feeling inside of his heart at the thought.
"Y..Yeah! Looks wonderful," he vocalized after a moment, as if the nod wasn't enough.

Freya took that odd pause of his to mean that she looked, perhaps, a little too good, and looked down at her attire. She pulled the skirt down as far as it could go, and then buttoned her blouse up to the top button. It felt weird and uncomfortable, but it was proper, and parents liked proper.
Well, most parents.
Finally, she shoo'd him out of her closet and closed the door, holding out the other two dresses she wanted to take with her. "Where is my bags, so I can puts this away please?" But instead, she handed the dresses to him, because it was time to start braiding the wet mop of hair behind her head. And she braided.. and braided.. and sighed as she braided some more.
"Mommy's goings teh miss yeh, baby tarts, yeh be good teh each other while I am gone okays? Auntie Hel will comes and visits teh makes sure yehr fed and haven't eaten each other out of starvation."
Hey. It was a legitimate worry.

He was about to comment on her buttoning everything up but then she shoo'd him out and handed him the dresses to hand away. Suitably distracted with obedience he went and put everything away. Kettil let her make her goodbyes with a small smile, "We'll be gone for a couple of days or so," he said quietly, "Not very long at all~."
Kettil wasn't that irresponsible.

"Is guud, because I has things teh duu." (She didn't.)
She flopped back down on the bed when she had fussed with herself enough to feel as though she was ready, and let out a long, shuddering sigh.
"So, when duu we has teh leaves?" Oh, poor, naive Freya.

"Like be with me all the time," he said teasingly with a grin.
When she asked when they had to leave he just smiled at her, "Now! We go now." He moved to grab not just her bags but his as well; he offered the crook of her elbow to hold onto. He certainly seemed excited and happy about all this.
He was trying to be happy and cheerful in hopes that it would rub off on her and give her a bit of a brighter outlook on the ordeal that he was tossing her into. Kettil didn't think it would be perfect but he certainly doubted it would go badly, "C'mon~."

"What- now?! But.. nap.." She struggled on the bed, her body contorting in all sorts of manners as she whined about how much she didn't want to leave, but in the end she slid off the bed and slunk off, letting him carry the bags as she closed the door behind them, blowing a few last kisses to her sleeping tarts beforehand.
Then her mood shifted, as she started to actually wake up for the day. "I'm hungry." Gasp. "Do yeh thinks they'll has fuud on teh trains?"

He just let her writhe around on the bed and whine. Kettil seemed like he wasn't going to bend to her whims at this moment, "I said you can nap on the train," he replied with a laugh. Once they were out the door and they started toward the station he seemed thoughtful.
"They should. The dining cart should be open after we get settled and stuff," he said cheerfully. Kettil at least aimed for a train with a dining cart. Then again the boil tended to think with his stomach most of the time.

"Yay dining cart!" Freya fluttered into the air a few inches in triumph. "Yay nap on the train!" Everything seemed to be worth a triumphant cheer, at this point. "Yay, a trip with Hooter!" She touched back down on the ground and started surging forward, a new spring in her step.
"How long is the ride? Are there any stops on the way? How cold is it where you live? Who's at home right now? Where will I sleeps?"
Freya was bubbling with non-stop questions all the way to the train station.

That was better. She was excited now and that was what he was hoping for all along. He walked along side her as she surged forward and seemed to mull over her questions, "Maybe an hour or two? I didn't pay much mind to the time when I first came to Amity from home. Think there is at least one stop so we can stretch our legs, I don't honestly remember," he chuckled.
There was a longer mulling moment, "Think almost everyone is gonna be there. Pretty sure anyways."
Where will she sleep?
Kettil froze a second or two.
"W..With me? I dunno." Kettil seemed kind of confused as to why she wouldn't share a bed with him at this point.
Would his parents force them to stay in separate rooms?
Kettil hummed a bit and blushed as he moved forward again, "They didn't make my one brother and his ghoulfriend sleep in separate rooms...?"

"Almost everyone.." The bubble of anxiety returned. How many people would she have to meet and possibly insult without meaning to! She could ruin everything in just one day! AHHH THE PRESSURE!
Freya smiled at the second answer, her stress lulled by the knowledge that she would spend her nights with Kettil. "That is good news. I am glad. I didn't knows how yehr family felt about that, is all. But if they don't minds with yehr brother, is okay with us. I just don't thinks I would be able teh sleeps without yeh by my side, now."
The truth was, at that point, she didn't think she would be able to do much of anything without him at her side. She wasn't yet over her anxious clinging, always just a little scared she'd lose him somewhere. Her hand tightened around his arm at the thought.

Kettil tilted his head and kissed her temple, "Don't worry. I could be wrong. I didn't exactly call to warn them...Maybe I should."
Clearly he plans everything in advance to the last detail. Not.
He just laughed a bit and nodded, "I suppose you're right about that! Though the rule might change when my Sisters are of age," the boil shifted his shoulders. "Dad dotes on them lots. He wants them to stay home forever."
As they neared the train station he seemed pretty well at peace and confident. This was all going to go well and further more? It was going to be some time away from everything at the Academy that was troubling Freya and him. Once at the station he went to the small outside window and made a payment for the tickets. The tickets in hand he turned toward Freya, "You ready?"

Freya smiled in content at the kiss, but then she felt the sudden surge of anxiety. Her eyes widened and her clutch tightened.
"They. Don't. Know?"
She was going to crash someone's house.. and they didn't know she was coming?! This was the highest of dishonors! Freya froze in place, horrified at the news. "Hooter.. Hooter I CAN'T! I can't shows up at yehr door unless I was invited, I can't comes into yehr home unless yehr mama knows well in advance-" Her hands were stumbling, fumbling for her phone, almost dropping it in the process - he had his own phone, but her actions were thoughtless, she just knew she had to get him a phone NOW.
"Calls them! Calls them right now and yeh asks them if its okay for me teh comes and visits! KETTIL BLACKE HAVE SOME MANNERS!"
It almost felt good to be freaking out about things like this. It let her forget about the darker, more painful problems that haunted her heart.

The sudden explosion of demands that he call home and her dropping of the phone was met with a small blank look that was soon followed up by amused laughter. He took her phone only to hand it back to her and took out his own phone so she could see. Kettil would humor his ghoulfriend since it was just a simple thing to do.
"I do have manners! I'm just forgetful, that's all," he laughed a bit.
Kettil dialed home and waited for a few moments.
"Yeah, Ma! Is it alright if I come home for a couple of days? Like, I'm already on my way home and--"
There was a response that was too faint to make out.
"What? No. Nothing is wrong. I just want to take a short break is all. Yeah. That's fine. Ummm..Is it okay if I bring my ghoulfriend? No. No. Her name is Freya not Francheska. I don't know where you got that idea."
Kettil seemed amused.
"..Well you know Gran's hearing has been going out. So um..Is that okay?"
The boil lowered his head as he was apparently getting scolded a bit.
"Yeah. Alright. So it's okay if she comes with me?"
The response was an audible, 'Of course! I need to see this ghoul!' from two feminine voices.
Kettil was now a pile of mortified blushing, especially after a masculine voice cried out very loudly in the background, 'MY LITTLE BOIL IS COMIN' HOME!?'

Freya looked unmoved when he informed her that he did have manners. Both of her hands were on her hips, refusing to move an inch until he called his mother right then and there in front of her. Which he did. Like a good boil.
Of course, that meant she got to listen in, as well. Her hands fell and she edged closer, inch by inch, leaning in to not so subtly hear what they were saying until the sudden screech made her jump, and she put both of her hands over her mouth to keep from laughing.
Well. That answered that, then.
Even as he was still talking, Freya put her arm around his and started tugging him forward again toward the train. They were already running late, after all. There was no time to lose!!!111
