Untamed Chroma

Chapter 20 - Fenrir is calling once again

"Oh, you reminded me we need more milk. Njörd keeps finishing our milk" Sól said as she put some milk in their cart

"What is it with you always finishing milk???" Thor asked as he browsed the opposing aisle

"Right? I feel like each time we go to the groceries Njörd always has to get milk" Gefjon added

"I eat a lot of cereal at night :(" Njörd replied

"Is it just me or is this store way too quiet" Gefjon asked looking around. The four of them have gone for some grocery shopping, after spending dinner together for the weekend. It was their usual weekend dinner, a way of them keeping together in the busy run down city life of eastern Uppsala

"I mean, it is nearly midnight, and we're like on the far outskirts of the city" Thor replied

"Gods I am dreading the ride home" Njörd said

"Dibs not driving!" Sól said

"I'm not driving for shit my back hurts" Thor added

"Old man" Gefjon mocked him

"YES I KNOW IM THE ONE WHOS GOING TO DRIVE AS ALWAYS THATS WHY IM DREADING IT!" Njörd said as Sól giggled. After some more browsing, they went to the cashier and paid, taking their bags to Njörds car and getting in. Njörd was driving, with Gefjon in the passenger seat, reading a book, and the other two in the back

"You alright Sól? You look a bit down" Thor asked

"I'm okay, I just... miss home I guess" she replied

"Home as in Rädslaheim?" Thor asked

"We've been there like a month ago though, it hasn't been that long" Gefjon added

"We didn't manage to relax there though, cause of that fucker that decided to show up out of no where" Sól replied

"Oh the assassin, what was his name again?" Thor asked

"Zhurong" She replied

"At least he's a decent guy, the chief seems to trust him" Njörd said

"Decent my ass. I don't trust him one bit. His girlfriend or whatever was sweet though" Sól said

"She was funny yeah" Njörd smiled

"I still don't get why Freyr is refusing to get Zhurong to help us deal with Rollo" Thor said

"This fight has nothing to do with him" Sól said

"Rollo literally employed Zhurong of course it has to do with him" Njörd said

"Exactly, dumbass! How do you know that this isn't all a plot by Zhurong? Maybe he's still working with Rollo and just needs an opening to get Freyr again" She replied

"You're way too paranoid" Njörd said

"I'm a fucking shield maiden Njörd, I've seen sneaky people and I know how they fight. They use their brains more than their arms. No wonder you can't understand that concept you don't even have a brain to begin with" she said

"That was unnecessarily mean" He replied

"Freyr literally saved Zhurong's life as well as rescued his girlfriend from that psychopath, I'm sure he's decent enough to put us on good terms with him" Thor explained

"I'm much more concerned with what Völva told us, about those creeps in the woods" Gefjon replied

"Thökk? Yeah, it's worrying how desperate the chief is to getting at him" Thor added
