"I don't have much of an appetite," Lukas said, pushing his plate at the dog. Mathias didn't take the news too well. He slammed the table with his fist. "Don't give that to her. I'm a human here. I can eat what you don't want."
Lukas rolled his eyes. "No. I'm giving it to the dog." And with that, he set the plate on the floor in front of Hanatamago.
Berwald appeared distracted the entire meal. He too seemed to lack his usual appetite. He ate in silence, his eyes occasionally following a path towards his bed where the injured woman continued to rest.
"What? It's good, isn't it?" Mathias asked, directing his attention towards Berwald. "If we had more spices, it would be even better."
"I don't th'nk it's the food." Berwald promptly added.
"If you don't want yours, I'm still hungry." Mathias said, eyeing the dog's plate. He reached down to the floor and picked up a piece of deer meat. Hanatamago whined as he took it from her and jammed it into his own mouth. "Delicious."
Lukas sank against the table, his expression melancholic as he watched Mathias rob the dog yet again. "You're so noisy," the Norwegian complained, "I'm going to bed." Mathias didn't seem bothered by the comment. He was in a surprisingly good mood that hadn't derailed yet. Berwald could only assume it was because they had brought Tiina into their household. He really did fancy her, didn't he?
Berwald finished his meal and filled a pot with snow so he could wash the wooden dishes. He added firewood to the fire and waited for the snow to gradually melt. Mathias finished eating as well.
"It's ge'ting late. Do you w'nt me to put her in yo'r bed?"
Berwald's question seemed to surprise the Dane.
He responded by shaking his head, "I'm not having her sleep in my bed. Anyway, she looks peaceful where she is now. You can just keep her there."
"But.." Berwald started to protest.
"It's okay. Really. You can keep her in your bed," Mathias said with smirk, "Just don't fuck her okay. I need her to stay a virgin until the big day." He gave his Swedish brother a hearty pat on the back and then continued to laugh boisterously until he removed his pants and crawled into his own bed.
Lukas sat up and looked at the Danish man. He opened his mouth to say something but changed his mind and instead flopped over and faced the opposite wall, drawing the blanket up over his shoulders with a pout.
Berwald was too perplexed to speak. He didn't imagine Mathias to be a man that held back, especially when it came to earthly pleasure.
Tiina shifted as Hanatamago joined her in bed. The dog was just so cute cuddling against her master.
Berwald decided he could probably sleep on the floor when the time came. He didn't have an extra blanket but he'd be alright. He could manage without one.
When he finished washing the dishes, he checked on Tiina and put snow on her injuries. Hanatamago lapped at his hand as he did so. He was really starting to like the adorableness of that dog.
He settled on the floor and pulled his cloak up around his neck, keeping his body close together to retain as much heat as possible . As he drifted off to sleep, he felt a small body crawl on top of his. He opened his eyes and found Hanatamago staring back at him. The dog licked his face and then slipped beneath his cloak. She gnawed at his clothing, trying to eat up any of the residual food that remained behind on his shirt.
Berwald laughed inwardly. "Si'ly dog."
...
It was much later before Tiina finally stirred and awoke to find herself in a dimly lit room. She was uncertain of her location. All she knew was that this was not her home. She vaguely remembered that this was the cabin of the men whom she had encountered in the woods.
Tiina jerked upright in bed. She needed to get out of there. Her eyes followed the fireplace light around the room. She could hear snoring around her and noticed two of the nearby beds were occupied. If she was leaving, now was going to have to be the time.
She wondered where Hanatamago had gotten off too. She hoped the little dog had run away and gotten help for her but that was too much to wish for. Her worst fear was that the dog was dead in the woods and probably eaten by a wolf.
She hopped out of bed. Immediately, she was surprised by the feeling of something warm and bumpy beneath her feet. Berwald was sleeping on the floor against the side of her bed. As soon her feet stomped his chest, he was roused from that slumber in a fit of pain.
"Aghhhhhhhhhh," he bellowed out. She heard her dog yip loudly as well. Tiina screamed as her feet began to sink even more.
She nearly lost her balance as Berwald began to move, the large man groaned as he tried to force her off his breastbone. Tiina stumbled forward until she was finally touching the floor. She grabbed her mouth in terror and turned around, quickly squinting at the large mass that was taking shape below her. Something dark and blue sat up and she screamed 'ohyaaaaa' loudly again when she saw Berwald's face backlit against the dim light of the fireplace.
"What going on?" Lukas shouted, fumbling for his sword. Mathias stirred as well.
Tiina ran towards the door but missed it completely and smacked into a bench and table instead. The thing behind her now kinda look a person but even scarier because its face was completely in shadow.
Tiina smacked into the door. "Stay away from me," she whined, as she pulled on the handle. It wouldn't open, much to her anguish and dismay.
A large hand fell on her shoulder and completely freaked her out. She was caught again and now in her terror filled mind, she worried she would be eaten by those men.
"It's ok'y, ca'lm down." a voice said in a effort to stop her from being so frantic.
Tiina shook off the hand that touched her and ran to the window where she could see a crack of gray light. It led outside and she was desperate to make it out there. She hit the shutters hard, knocking them open and then leaping against the window sill to crawl to the outside.
The large hand now caught her foot and tried to pull her back towards it. She screamed again and kicked until she was free.
"Don't let her escape," Mathias shouted as he pulled his pants back on. "You two, go after her."
"You do it," Lukas snorted and then rolled over, burying himself back under the covers.
Mathias grabbed his axe from his bedside. No way he was leaving that precious thing behind when he obviously knew Lukas and Berwald might sacrifice it.
Berwald was already outside, still pursuing Tiina and trying to get her to stop running away from him. He didn't understand why she was so scared? Maybe she thought he was mad that she stepped on him when he was sleeping. He wasn't. Maybe he should tell her that. He'd have to catch her first.
"Arf, arf." Hanatamago joined the chase. She probably thought they were playing. She tripped the Dane and he swore loudly, cursing the little ball of white fluff that got in his way.
Tiina, in the meantime, started to climb a tree. She realized she couldn't outrun Berwald and so she had to outsmart him somehow and that meant she had to hide. Too bad she was still in sight when she decided to try to hide.
Berwald stopped and watched as she shimmied up the tree, climbing from branch to branch. The visibility was poor outside but he was certain where she had gone.
"What are you stopping for?" Mathias demanded as he caught up to Berwald, "Where'd she go?"
Berwald didn't answer. Tiina held her breath, hiding in the tree above them. Hanatamago ran over to the tree and then looked up. She began to bark loudly.
"Hanatamago, no," Tiina cried in a loud whisper, "Go. Go away." Her hand broke a branch off the tree and threw it out across the forest.
Mathias and Berwald watched as her dog retrieved the stick and brought it back to the tree. Tiina panicked and threw another stick.
Mathias looked up through the branches towards her and waved. "Hey! What'd you say you come down from there."
"No. You just wanna hurt me again," Tiina responded, gripping tightly to the tree branch.
Fuck, Mathias thought, Did she already know he planned to sacrifice her?
"I'm n't mad," Berwald told her, thinking it might make a difference. He offered her his hand. She responded by climbing higher up into the tree.
"Really? Really? That's what you have to say to get her to come down?" Mathias complained. "We're gonna have to go up and bring her back." and when he said 'we', he really meant Berwald. Mathias gave Berwald a hardy pat on the back, giving him a push forward against the tree.
Both their eyes met as Mathias waited for him to comply. Berwald shook his head in disappointment and then began to climb the tree. His effort was met with a shoe being hurled down at him from above.
"Don't come any closer or you'll regret it," Tiina warned as she struggled to remove her other shoe.
Berwald stopped but Mathias gave him a firm shove to the ass from below. "C'mon. Keep going. Get up there."
"I don't see y'u mak'ng an eff'rt." Berwald said as he pulled himself up on to another branch.
Tiina shook the branches. A barrage of snow came tumbling down at both of them, blanketing their hair and shoulders with a light dusting.
Tiina agitated the nearby branches again, snapping them off deliberately so she could continue to hurl them at Berwald as he climbed closer.
"Next one is going to take out your eye," Tiina yelled at Berwald.
"Do it!" Mathias exclaimed, smirking at the thought of Berwald losing an eye. That would be entertaining for him at least, but perhaps not in his best interest.
Berwald cast a disgusted look in his direction and then continued climbing until he reached the branch below her.
"Come d'wn," Berwald insisted, getting closer and closer to her position in the tree, "You bare'foot. Mus' be cold."
"I wouldn't be cold if you didn't chase me out here," she responded, belting another branch at him.
Berwald deflected it before it hit his shoulder, "N't my choice."
Mathias huffed impatiently as he waited. He really wanted to go back inside. "If you don't get down now, I'm gonna start chopping down this tree."
Mathias held up his axe and gave the tree a warning whack to show that he meant it. He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Berwald's shocked face peer down at him.
The Swedish man approached Tiina and looped his arm around her waist. She struggled so he had no choice but to hold her firmly against him. Now that they were in close proximity with one another, Berwald could feel her body was shivering despite her adrenaline rush and her cheeks were turning light pink from being outside in the snow as well.
Tiina hit his back frantically with her shoe as he descended the tree, bringing her back down to the ground. Mathias hit the bark with his axe again and then laughed.
Berwald pulled the shoe that had been slapping him out of Tiina's hand and hurled it roughly so that it struck Mathias square in the face. He didn't appreciate the Danish man's impatience.
"What the hell did you do that for?," Mathias complained to Berwald as he finished dismounting from the tree.
Tiina forced her now bare feet to connect with the snow. Instantly, she felt discomfort from the coldness that made the soles of her feet tingle like pins being jammed into her flesh.
She attempted to jerk out of Berwald's hold on her body, once again determined to escape. Mathias grabbed her arm and pulled it violently.
"I can't believe your trying to escape again like that," Mathias scolded. He shook her roughly as he continued to grip her arm and pull her forward.
Berwald caught her other arm suddenly and held her back from the Dane. Mathias turned in disbelief, "Eh?"
"She's c'ld," he pointed out. Berwald removed his heavy blue cloak and wrapped it around Tiina's shoulders. She yelped a little when he lifted her into his arms so her feet wouldn't keep touching the icy ground.
The walk back was surprisingly quiet with the exception of Hanatamago's occasional arfing.
Tiina felt her body heat returning as Berwald held her tightly against himself. It was strange. It felt as though all his heat was somehow pouring into her, making her feel warm and secure. But she knew she wasn't truly secure.
She didn't understand why she felt so safe in such an unsafe setting.

Author's Note 1: We would really enjoy feedback and reviews~~! Thanks to everyone who faved, alerted and comment so far.
Author's Note 2: We got hit by Hurricane Irene which totally sucked. We manage to get this chappy written because we had no electric. It was so odd writing this out in a notebook then rewriting it...but then I totally can't help but romanticize how awesome it must have been to live back during Viking times with no electronics.
