"Revna, halló." A raven-haired woman looked up from her shield, her eyes narrowing as she looked at a brunette woman, standing in front of her.
"Hver ertu." (Who are you.) She didn't bother standing up, going back to checking the damage on her shield.
"við erum hér til að bjóða þér í hópinn okkar." (We are here to invite you to our group.) Revna hummed, placing her shield down.
"Nafn?" (Name?) she didn't allow her to answer, instead shooting up and appearing behind her, a sharp dagger pressing to her neck.
"Andromache af skvísur." (Of the scythians) she pulled the blade away from her neck, picking up her shield as she went back inside.
"mamma, það er einhver hérna." (Mother, there is someone here.) the shorter woman called out whilst placing her shield on the table, Andromache following after her.
"þú getur líka hringt í mig Andy." (You can also call me Andy.) Revna ignored her, an even shorted woman rounded the corner with a man right behind her.
"þú skerir þig úr, þú ert hærri en flestar konur." (You stand out, you are taller than most women.) Andy ignored her jab at her height, instead looking at the woman and the viking behind her.
The man was a brunet, a bit shorter than her, high cheekbones, and very big, probably muscles, but it could also just be fat.
The woman, however, had red hair, dark eyes, prominent brow bridge, they both looked like they had some scarring on their hands.
"mig langar að taka dóttur þína með mér í ferðina mína." (i would like to take your daughter with me for my journey.) the parents slightly glared at her, then Revna placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Nei." (No)

"Found him." Revna appeared behind Andy, who quickly shot around at the sudden voice.
"His name is Sebastion Le Livre." Both Nicky and Joe jumped when she popped up, but realxed when they saw it was her.
"His sons died and he is feeling guilty for not 'sharing' his gift of immortality." She rolled her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Is that all you wanted me to do?" Andy smiled at her.
"Yes, would you like to join us for drinks?" She held up her wine, and Revna just stared at her.
"I don't want-" Andy shut her up by throwing her a bottle of the wine, and she slunk back into one of the corners of the bar.
"God she's weird." Nicky shuddered, glancing over and finding Revna glaring at him.
"Maybe, but she's good." Andy shrugged, taking her glass and joining her.
"Why don't you join us picking him up? It might help you get a friend?" Ophelia glared at her, opening the bottle and stealing Andy's glass.
"I don't need a friend." The brunette sighed, leaning her chin on her palm as she stared at the ravenette.
"I'm your friend." Revna either ignored her or didn't hear her, most probably the former, but Andy smirked at her.
"Why don't you just join us this once? It's not like it's that warm." Revna shrugged.
"It's not warm, i just don't want to stay away from Bella for too long." Andy chuckled at the mention of the Norwegian forest cat.
"She can be on her own for a few more hours, can't she?"
"No she can't. That boy next door would kill her." Andy grimaced at the mention of the kid, who had spotted the cat and tried to kill it.
"Well, i tried."

"Hello Nile." Revna stepped out of the shadows she was hiding in, and the soldier froze.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Revna Ingriddottir." She didn't approach, but Nile stepped back.
"You are Nile Freeman, correct?" She had an accent, something nordic.
"W-who are you?" Revna frowned, stepping closer.
"My name is Revna ingriddottir, i introduced myself a mere minute ago, if you could please follow me?" She put her hands into the pockets of her pants, tilting her head towards the exit of the tent, her black tank top seemed too big for her.
"Why would i?!" Revna glanced outside, then approached Nile and picked her up.
"Wha-? Put me down?!" She hit her back, trying to kick her in her stomach.
"Andy, help." The brunette sighed as Revna set Nile down before her, then shot the woman when she tried to run away.
She picked her back up, Revna already in the front seat, and put her down in the back.
She sat down in the drivers seat, looking over at Revna, who was trying her best not to let the hyper active ball of red fur slip out of her hands.
"You do realise he's going to be bigger than your torso, do you?" Revna hummed, trying to get him to settle down.

"Andy." Revna appeared from the shadows again, this time when she was out on a mission with the group.
"Revna." She breathed out, gesturing her to come over.
"You do the front, cover us." Revna nodded, but stood still as she stared at Andy.
"What?" Revna's eyes widened as she quickly looked away to the entrance.
"Nothing." She muttered, grabbing her bow and moving out of their hiding spot, into the enemies sight.
She shot her arrows through their eyes, immobilising their first defences, and eventually switched to her axe one she came through the front doors.
She kicked them down, slicing off one of their head in the process, then continued her rampage as the others slipped through and deeper into the facility.

Revna didn't say anything as she watched from the shadows, frowning when she noticed Andy kept bleeding.
Once the others had left, Revna quietly moved closer to the woman, who didn't notice her.
"Don't die." She mumbled, falling against her back, hiding away in it.
Andy froze, looking back down at the woman.
"Revna..." She still doesn't know how she managed to sneak up on her every time.
"Don't die." Andy sighed, looking down at the ground.
"I won't." She felt something damp on her back, which quickly turned into feeling her shirt soak.
"Are you crying?" She heard Revna sniffle, burying her face further into her back.
"Please don't die." Her hold on her shirt loosened, and she wrapped her arms around her waist instead, nearly crushing her ribs.
"I will if you keep this up." Andy tried to joke, but it didn't help.
Revna quickly let go and distanced herself, furiously trying to wipe her tears as she turned around.
"I don't know if i'll die, nobody knows." She turned back around, looking at Andy with wide eyes.
"You won't die. I won't allow it." Andy gave her a small smile.
"Well, i think you can't control death-"
"You won't die."

Nile walked into the room, both Andy and Revna had claimed as their own, and asked if she could join them.
Revna accepted her into the room, but she noticed her eyeing Andy every few seconds, which eventually escalated into full-on staring.
Her cat had settled on her lap, then eventually jumped up to try force her to lay down so he could lay on her chest instead.
It didn't work, but Revna did lay down on her stomach, placing her chin on her hands as Loki laid down on her back.
"Revna." Andy called out to her, looking up from her book.
"Yes?" She smiled, Andy giving her a scolding look.
"Stop staring." She returned to her book, and Revna didn't stop staring at her, so she ignored it.
"Why are you staring at her?" Nile whispered at her, sitting down next to her.
"It's her, why wouldn't i?" She answered as if it was perfectly normal, gazing at the brunette.

"Why is she suddenly always here, it's weird." Booker voiced his concerns, he had only seen Revna for a total of maybe 30 times in his 250 years of living, but suddenly she was everywhere.
"She has these phases every few years." Joe looked at Revna, who was staring at Andy from her place in the corner.
"Just sticks to Andy like a love puppy." Nicky added, Booker giving them weird looks.
"Are they together?" Nile suddenly asked, making Booker spit out his coffee.
"No, they're not. But i haven't seen Revna without Andy, and they're very gay." Nicky looked over at Revna, who now was trying to get her cat off of her, because she was trying to get to Andy, but Loki had different ideas.
"Get off of me." She mumbled, trying to pry him off of her shoe, getting bitten in response.
"Loki." She mumbled, and the cat still didn't let go.
She ignored him and quickly got to Andy, sitting down besides her and leaning into her.
"Is this because of, you know?" Andy knew of her phases, she was the victim of all of them, but this one was slightly worse than others.
"It is added to the initial concern." Revna mumbled, she could feel her ancestors curse her out for being a coward.
"Don't worry, it's nothing." Andy sighed, and Revna clung closer to her, grabbing onto her hand.
-
"I love you." Revna couldn't believe she said that in the middle of a fight.
"What?" Andy froze, and Revna jumped in and stopped her from getting shot.
"I'm in love with you." She turned to the brunette once she had officially killed the guards in the room, her face splashed with blood.
"I-"
"I'm sorry, i can't lie, please just say you don't love me and i can move on." She pleaded with her, but of course she needed to make this difficult.
"I love you too."
"No! You're dying! You can't love me back! Just tell me you don't love me so i can move on, please." She begged, eyes filling with tears when Andy shook her head.
"I love you."
