Clear Skies [Arya]

[Arya the Unseen]

Arya blushed at his comment about hearing her voice. However, it didn't last long. Laughter replaced her embarrassment when he answered her question. "So she is basically your sister... due to the Dragonblood?" She asked, not realizing the almost relieved tone in her voice. Her emerald green eyes looking back at him. They didn't linger long though. She couldn't look at him long in fear of her all-to-honest eyes giving away how she saw him. She was sure that no one as important, attractive, or kind could ever love a girl such as her. Despite her effort to keep herself quiet, her curiousity wouldn't let her leave the subject alone. "I apologize for being so nosy... but is there someone that you like? Some one special to you?"

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"There is, the only girl I've ever thought was special." He stared back up at the clear blue sky. Soon, a few clouds began to encroach upon the sun. "LOK, VAH KOOR!" he Shouted, forcing the clouds away. He wouldn't let them ruin Arya's time.

[Arya the Unseen]

"Oh? Have you told her yet?" Arya asked almost immediately. She knew that, whoever the girl was, she was lucky. Wilhelm was a good man. Still, it saddened her, as she knew it wasn't her. She was always a little curious of him, ever since they met. However, after the incident in Markarth and their fight with Krosis, she had developed quite the attachment to him.

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Not yet, I'm not sure how she feels about me yet." he looked away from the sun, his eyes drifted down to the tree line. "I'm still not entirely sure how to go about asking her, she's a rather straight-forward girl, so I guess I could just come out and ask her."

[Arya the Unseen]

"Wilhelm," She laughed, not used to the other sellsword being unsure, "any smart woman would fall for you the moment you walked in. I'm sure she feels the same about you. Just ask. Or if you want to overachieve, take her out on a date, give her a gift, then ask her. Believe me, I don't know a woman that didn't at least think you were worth a shot." It took everything she had to keep a happy look on her face. She wanted Wilhelm to be happy, but it was just tearing her apart to give him advice on getting this woman he liked. She was probably a normal Nord woman with a great smile and amazing personality. She was small for a Nord and unlike most of her race, she had very dark hair. This was not in her favor. Still, she had to stay happy. Scooting closer to him, she gave him a caring pat on the back and a warm smile. Maybe that would help.

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Very well." he looked her right in the eyes before continuing, they were a beautiful green color, brighter than the most flawless of emeralds. "Arya, do you like me?"

[Arya the Unseen]

Arya was shocked. Her? Wilhelm Bear-Heart, the last surviving member of the family that inspired her to become a sellsword, liked a small town girl like her? "W-wha?" She stammered, amazed and confused. "Y-yes, I do. Very much. But... Why me?"

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Well, you've got a strong body, mind, will, and spirit. That and you are gorgeous." He smiled at her. "Did you like the date and present?"

[Arya the Unseen]

She gave a smile, sky chuckle and looked down. "I did. Thank you so much, Wilhelm. It... it really means more to me than you know." At the end of her sentence, she looked back up. Tears had started to form in her eyes. This truly was one of the best days of her life.

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

He reached up and used a finger to wipe away one of the falling tears. A smile appeared on his face, one that had never been there before. After he wiped the tear away, he leaned close to her and kissed her on the cheek softly.

[Arya the Unseen]

Arya couldn't help it. In one swift motion, she got closer and latched onto him, hugging him tightly. More tears of happiness formed in those flawless emerald eyes, but she was careful not to get them on him. Finally she was able to stop crying, but she didn't let go. "Is this why S'kvari told you what my favorite place was? So you could bring me here and tell me how you felt?" She asked, still hugging him.

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"That's exactly what happened." he answered, wrapping an arm around her. The clouds began to grow once more and Wilhelm noticed the farmers staring at him, almost angry at him pushing the rains away. "C'mon, I'm getting some evil looks from the townsfolk. Let's go to Windhelm, me and Balthien have a room in the New Gnisis Cornerclub." The large Nord stood up and offered Arya a hand.

[Arya the Unseen]

She smiled and took his hand, getting to her feet quickly. She too had noticed the looks the farmers had been giving him, but she hadn't put much thought into it. "I guess they need the rain that you keep chasing away." She commented. As they set off to Windhelm, the thunder rumbled overhead and lightning flashed in the clouds. Usually, the lightning would have bothered her. However, with Wilhelm at her side, she was able to make the walk to the city with no fear at all.
