onceavikingThe room is cool and tidy.
There's a bed (huge and covered in red bedding), a desk with a closed laptop, and a small table with a couple of low chairs. They're draped with skins (deer and sheep), with carved backs.
Eric turns to face Athelstan.

no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 03:25 pm (UTC)Athelstan wouldn't dream of telling anyone. He peers up at Eric, meeting his eyes steadily.
"Thank you. Again."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 03:30 pm (UTC)"You don't tell people 'thank you' after sex, Athelstan."
Not little monk.
Athelstan.
"They are not doing you a favor."

Date: 2014-12-20 05:36 pm (UTC)"But you have done me others. You've been... kind. Which will stay between us."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 05:51 pm (UTC)He likely isn't joking.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 05:54 pm (UTC)"Don't worry", he says dryly. "I'll have a care for your reputation."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 06:05 pm (UTC)Eric steps out of the shower and starts drying off.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 06:06 pm (UTC)And Athelstan finishes washing himself, more carefully with the lather around his eyes this time, before he does the same.
"...how do they make these towels so fluffy?"

Date: 2014-12-20 06:56 pm (UTC)"And this is that cotton, that grows in the unknown parts of the world?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:00 pm (UTC)"So are the sheets on the bed. Egyptian cotton."
Little luxuries.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:01 pm (UTC)"It was very... smooth", he remembers, for lack of a better word to describe it. "The Egyptian kind is the best?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:05 pm (UTC)Then he drops the towel on the floor and stride back into the room. Naked.
Still hard.
Unconcerned.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:07 pm (UTC)Athelstan stares, then catches himself, finishes drying off, and scuttles after Eric to reclaim his clothes.
"It must be expensive. But you can store away a lot of money in a thousand years."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:09 pm (UTC)Eric sits down on the bed and looks up at him.
"And if you know a magic bar where you can prepare yourself for what the future might hold. Financially."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:10 pm (UTC)"By storing your money and gold here?" he guesses, stepping over to get his trousers.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:14 pm (UTC)He lets his eyes rest on Athelstan's body. Pink from the hot water.
It's a good look.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:16 pm (UTC)"Of course, knowledge of the future - " He glances up and catches Eric looking, not that Eric was trying to hide it, and - ridiculously, given what they did not half an hour ago - goes a bit pinker in the face.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:27 pm (UTC)"Come here,"' he says, calling him close with one finger.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:29 pm (UTC)There's a tiny hesitation - he's still very new to this - but Athelstan obeys and goes.
(Based on his one canon sex scene, the mun has a feeling he likes being dominated.)
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:34 pm (UTC)"You are not walking around making doe eyes at anyone at home? Any men?"
He's not quite sure why he feels the need to warn him. Apart from perhaps a small desire to balance the scales. He's taken a life. Now he might prevent an untimely death,
Perhaps.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:36 pm (UTC)"No!" he protests. "Things are... very different there."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:40 pm (UTC)"Someone might decide to take you. That won't necessarily reflect poorly on you. Because you're property."
He smiles a little.
It's meant as reassurance.
"And there's always the girls."
He's pretty, women like that. Some of them.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:42 pm (UTC)"I'm Ragnar's property", he says quietly. "And as such, for his own honour, he must defend me from anyone doing that without his permission. And yes, there are some... very lovely girls."
He does notice.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-20 07:46 pm (UTC)It makes him look young.
Animated.
Alive.
