While Theoric was thinking of what to do now, suddenly an image of Lady Sif flashed in his head as he thought of the implications.- "Shit."
Sigyn who was trying to ignore the stares and whispers going on around them asked,- "Theo?"
Theoric chuckled to himself,- "Well before we left I kind of hooked up with Lady Sif, at the time I didn't think it would be so long before we would meet again, but now it looks like it might." he said looking around.
Sigyn didn't think anything of it as she responded- "I'm sure it'll be fine."
Theoric lost his smile as he mentioned the most important part- "well about that, I kind of took her first time."
Sigyn eyes went wide- "What! You can't just leave a girl after that, Theo how could you." she slapped him on the arm. "She's going to hate you next time you meet."
Theoric however thought differently as he remembered how he won her over- "I don't know about that..." he said with a smirk, "Regardless it'll be fun to win her over again."
Seeing the lewd expression on his face, she gave him a hard pinch in the side.
Theoric yelped- "Damn woman, you did get stronger, didn't you?"
Sigyn humphed, puffing out her cheeks- "You shouldn't be thinking of someone else when I'm here."
Theoric was taken aback as he looked at Sigyn pouting- "Is my Sigyn jealous?"
He never thought he would see this side of her, after all, she was even more than willing to take the initiative at times when it came to other women.
Sigyn denied it- "It's not jealousy, I don't care how many women join us, just don't forget I'm number one, this is what you promised."
Theoric had other thoughts though as he wondered if her personality shifted some due to her recent changes. Her head didn't seem as muddled as it has been in the past, which he always found adorable. Not that he would mind her becoming better though, he was just sad to see her lose some of her innocence, but it was bound to happen sooner or later now that she was following out into the world.
He was overcome with the urge to hug her as he brought her into his lap, whispering- "You will always be number one."
Sigyn felt her heart move as she hugged him back.
Theoric was starting to get hot and bothered while embracing as he started to rub his head into her chest.
Sigyn blushed= "Ah, Theo, no, there are people watching." she said trying to push him away. She wasn't comfortable doing such things in public and was very reserved and somewhat shy having spent more time indoors with Theoric on Asgard than anything else.
At this time a young noble-looking man dressed in finer clothing then the surrounding poor people, who have yet to take his eyes off of Sigyn since she stepped into town, walked over with his bodyguards.
"Sir, I believe the lady would like you to stop." said the fellow.
His bodyguards immediately went on high alert not thinking that their young master would start off with hostile intentions towards the unknown knight and his lady. They were not nearly as well-armed as Theoric who was in his Asgardian armor with his well-crafted sword just off to the side with the baggage so he could sit comfortably.
It was clear to them that he was someone they couldn't afford to offend, but the woman's beauty was at such a level that she made all the other women in the village look like crap. It made it hard for any man to resist the chance to snatch her, especially for the rich young master whose father ruled this place.
The men now knew the truth of the words, love made men blind and stupid as they started sweating buckets when Theoric put Sigyn down and stood up to his full height of 6'3", towering over them. They quickly drew their bronze swords praying they didn't have to fight as they only sported leather armor and chainmail with bronze plate helmet, shoulders, and armguards.
Theoric looking down at them, the tallest of them only able to reach 5'8" made him smirk as he watched them take a step back upon realizing how truly big he was, asked- "And you are?"
Feeling intimidated, the young man gulped as he awoke to his circumstances.
Stuttering at the start he tried to rectify the situation,- "I, I, I am Lar... I mean Lar Caerellius Vitalinus."
Theoric putting on an air of superiority asked- "Tell me Lars, what's the name of this small village and where can I find a map?"
Lar didn't like his tone but made sure to keep it to himself, secretly promising himself he would try to find a way to get that woman.
Lar held it inside as he put on a friendly smile- "You can find what you need if you head down there and go to the general's store, this small village is called Velia, might I ask for your names and where you've come from?"
Theoric ignored his fake smile- "I am Theoric and this is my wife, now if you don't mind we'll be leaving now."
Not waiting for a response he gathered his things as he took Sigyn's hand and left.
The bodyguards finally breathed a sigh of relief as they realized they were holding their breath.
Lar, on the other hand, frowned as he watched the woman of his dreams walk away with another man.
The bodyguards exchanged looks knowing that this stupid young master was going to make an enemy of that scary man yet, and more than likely they would be the ones paying the price.
Theoric grumpily said- "See I told you, your new hair will make you far more noticeable and I'll have to start swatting annoying pests far more often."
Sigyn giggled- "Don't tell me you don't like it, I've seen you happily go out of your way to do it on multiple occasions."
Theoric wasn't going to argue with her, while it was true in the past when he was pining after her with everyone else. Things were different now, she was already his and didn't want to bother with all the flies.
