He saw the desperation in her eyes, it was something he couldn't stand something he'd seen in so many lost souls enter the home and he'd met them with a smile only to be beaten or even worse over the years but never had he looked back with those same eyes.
"there is nothing we can do.......He will be here in two days....."
Guy stubbornly shook his head in anguish, no he didn't believe in nothing, he didn't stand for the fact that there was nothing for him to do that he couldn't solve anything. No there was ALWAYS a way.
"I wanted so much more from my life than this....I wanted......"
He would find a way. A nod in affirmation as he'd step forward back on his toes anticipating as much trouble and being so bold as to take action. He'd give Astrid a tight affectionate hug putting her face into his chest resting his hand at the back of her head.
"Shhh, Everything will be alright....theres no such thing as nothing."

She felt his pull her against him, her head brought to his chest as his hand found a place upon the back of her head. Unable to help herself she let out a soft whimper as her arms show around him.
She was not usually one to go about seeking comfort from other's for her issues. She was not one to show that the weight of the world sometimes got to her beyond all reason and all sanity.
Sniffling once she held to him as she cried softly, shaking her head. He wanted so badly to help her, yet she knew that he could not. There was no choice in the matter. She could not bring herself to turn her back on the clan, she could not handle going to Spike and begging him to end this.
No, no matter what she wanted, this was always the path that had been carved out for her. She had tried for two years now to struggle and fight her way out of it, only to find herself once more thrust back in head first.
"Please..."
She wanted say don't do this. She wanted to say let it go.....She wanted to say a lot of things......But the only thing that came forth was the one thing she never thought she would hear escaping her lips.
"Help me...."
Burying her face into his chest she tried to stop. Tried to pull herself together....Yet in the end all she could do was kept those slender arms firmly wrapped about his body.

"Please..."
The weight of sadness was too great, he was not one for such matters, suited best for the hilarity of things and enjoying life though now he felt the weight of her emotions cripple him. Feeling the light sobs and weight of her body drop into his all he could manage was a light support.
"Help me...."
Guy would remain there his head falling atop hers in an overly relaxed state. More tired than anything else, he couldn't stand her pain. He wanted so much to save her from this pain.
"Shhh, I'll do whatever is in my power."
Guy felt the weight thrust heavily upon his shoulders growing sad himself if even for a brief moment knowing the fact that this could only be finished with Astrid and not him.

She felt his head upon her own and could not help but sense the way his body seemed to react to her words. She did not know what to do. She never wanted to upset him, to bother him or make his life any more complicated than it already was. But she had nobody else. Nobody she trusted to open up to. Nobody else she dared to let inside........
She stood there for a bit longer, his words seeming to help in relaxing her some, bringing her back to a state where she could try and manage...Try and pull herself together and push forward.....
Sniffling softly, her beautiful face streaked with tears she would finally pull back. Those oceanic hues now a deeper shade from the tears she had cried....
Looking up at him, she let her a soft, weak smile brush across her lips...Honestly she did not know if she could handle this whole thing without him.
Rising upward on her tip toes she would press her lips to his cheek, letting her kiss linger there for a moment before pulling back and speaking out softly as her breath fell across his flesh.
"I don't know what I would do without you...."
It was a completely innocent gesture. Just a simple matter of showing him that she cared. Finally she drew back, her arms slowly falling away from their hold upon him to now rest at her sides as she settled back onto her feet and sighed.
"Today sucks....heh....We both just seem to have the most rotten of luck."
A little half hearted laugh escaping her, trying to lighten the situation. Not wanting to be the one to drag others down with her problems.

"I don't know what I would do without you...."
Guy grinned innocently even at the kiss he'd just turn blind eye to it thinking of a witty remark to shoot back with at an attempt of making her laugh, "Be dragged away by the forest gnomes!"
He'd smile with a quick chuckle, at least he thought it was clever.
"Today sucks....heh....We both just seem to have the most rotten of luck."
"Pshh we?" Guy would smile stepping back to get the distance back again and into buddy, buddy mode as though nothing had just happened.
"I just wet my bed I'd say thats a good day." He said straightforward and matter of factly before he realized she didn't know the pretenses under the event. To which he'd laugh at himself and blush idiotically.
"Yea practical joke, hand in water deal." He'd laugh trying to explain himself.

Now that things were back to normal she would laugh and shake her head. Gnomes....hehe...She loved his jokes. Then as he spoke about wetting the bed, she would raise her brow and look at him with a bit of uncertainty.
"We the bed huh? You should know by now not to drink so much before bed. Gah..I mean come on....You are old enough to know better."
Of course teasing, making light of the situation just as he did. That smile beaming on her face once more though when he spoke of practical jokes and the likes she just rolled her eyes.
"You would think that they would at least be smart enough to come up with some new material. Idiots."
She hated that he was always picked on, hated that he let them get by with it time and time again. Honestly she could go for beating their asses, despite her unwillingness to fight normally. BUT it was not her place.
"You know. You really should stand up for yourself against them. I mean, you do realize you could be so much more than the goof ball you try to be right?"
Still grinning as she reached up and ran her hand through her hair. She saw great potential in him, not necessarily to be a fighter, but to achieve so much more in his life. He just.......needed to grow up some. That was all.

Meh, He'd roll his eyes slightly at her jest shrugging it off innocently as though he wasn't at all amused by it though if their places had been swapped Guy would've taken full advantage of such a scenario not letting up.
"You would think that they would at least be smart enough to come up with some new material. Idiots."
"Oh you missed this one prank they pulled, its called stand up at 12:45, yeah Johnny didn't see it coming got shanked in the throat." Guy said as innocently as he could manage as though this was a daily occurrence.
"You know. You really should stand up for yourself against them. I mean, you do realize you could be so much more than the goof ball you try to be right?"
"Meh, but then I'd be a stuck up prick with no sense of humor..."
A wide grin as Guy immediately stiffened up miming out Red, he'd march around and fixated a sharp, mean scowl on his face pushing around the large boulders that surrounded the place though he came up short picking a big one first and being unable to do so.
"ughhhh.... okay you sit there or else!" He'd shake his fist at the immobile boulder threateningly.

His first comment did not set well with her, biting back the bit of fear and anger she felt inside at the idea of him living in such a place. Shaking her head, she would then listen to his reasoning, rolling her eyes as he started to walk around like some mindless drone. A laugh unable to be held back as her hand came up to cover her mouth.
He was such a dork. But she liked him that way. Sure she wanted him to grow up some, wanted him to stop letting them pick on him so much, but at the same time she hoped he never lost his silly manner that made him who he was.
"Okay, I get it.....I do not want you to end up like one of them. You know that. I am just saying that one day you will have to grow up some Guy.....You are amazing as you are, but not everyone sees that."
She hated the way people talked down about him as though he was nothing more than an annoying thorn in their side. She saw more than that, and in her mind she could not understand why they did not.
"And you can say all you want that you do not care....I know that you really dont....Which is good. I wish I had that ability. I admire you for it. I just worry about you is all. Things will not always be so easy to ignore or shrug off. I just don't want you hurt because you refused to at least try..."
Sure the pillars kicked his ass, picked on him and such. Hell a lot of students did. But the fact remained that they never took it too far. Never hurt him so badly he could not heal. But that did not mean someday, somebody would not be so merciful. She just hoped when that day came he was not caught completely off guard.

"Pshhh nahhh..." guy would silence himself quickly taking to sit his rump atop the rock he just showed who was boss, crossing his legs and holding his toes to remain balanced.
"And you can say all you want that you do not care....I know that you really dont....Which is good. I wish I had that ability. I admire you for it. I just worry about you is all. Things will not always be so easy to ignore or shrug off. I just don't want you hurt because you refused to at least try..."
A short chuckle escaped his throat before he'd puff out his chest and grunt in a beastly tone, "I am man, me no need help ROAR!" releasing his hands from his toes and beating on his chest Guy would fall back on his head hitting himself roughly on accident.
"Ow..."

She shook her head, letting out a little laugh even though she thought maybe he was making too light of the conversation. Either way she would once more lower herself to sit upon the ground, a little brush of her hand through the grass beneath her as she looked away from him.
"No matter how strong we all try to be.....there always will come a point where we all need help. Just remember that. Please? For me...."
She knew it may do her no good to talk to him about such matters right now, but in the long run she believed it would come in handy. She only hoped when the day came and he did need help he would not be so stubborn as to not ask for it.
For now though she would shrug, brushing her free hand through her hair as a soft breeze blew across the area.
"So, what are your plans for today?"
She was just curious. Her own had been to go to the skate park and later out to eat....though now she felt like simply curling up in bed and watching movies all day long...Not in much of a mood to socialize.

"No matter how strong we all try to be.....there always will come a point where we all need help. Just remember that. Please? For me...."
Guy would look up simply from his perched position, his body angled as such so that his legs sprawled out before him hands reaching towards his toes yet falling short of their goal and predominantly leaving him with a stalky approach. He'd aim for a smile but come up short with an innocent smirk nodding silently. Beyond the insincere facade he wore and fleshy innocent posterior Guy knew well enough how to evade such troubles and regain loses on a much lower level all it took was a bit of patience.
"So, what are your plans for today?"
"Hmm? Well I was hoping to start working on my bow..."
Guy would smile with a twinkle in his eye, yes he'd been considering a great many things, some of which was his back up plan to the home. That meant living out on the wood as he used to sporting for his own game. That of all things required a bow to hunt with. A firm smile set in place as he eyed the tree behind Astrid.
"And that means I have to pick out the PERFECT tree."

Astrid smiled at the happiness that seemed to engulf him as he spoke. She knew he was into that kinda thing and though she honestly did not see the point she supported him in fully. It was just how she was.
"Then I guess we should get to looking. I mean can't have you running around with something any less than perfect now can we?"
She grinned, hopping up and turning around to follow where his eyes had been, hands reaching back to brush off the dirt and grass from her ass. Yeah it was not very lady like to have a dirty butt!
Running her tongue over her lips she would wait for him to get up, her eyes casting a glance over her shoulder to where he sat...
"I think that it really wont be that hard. I mean we are in a part of the forest that most people dont get to, so things here are pretty untouched and pretty damn perfect. So yeah, we should have an easy time of it."
She would tuck her hands in her pockets then and then wait for him to take the lead. She fully planned on letting him pick it out and so forth, but that did not mean she could not tag along. Right?

With a swift nod Guy would spring to his feet leaping almost as if his legs were naturally built backwards on their caps enabling him to get back up to his natural stature.
"I think that it really wont be that hard. I mean we are in a part of the forest that most people dont get to, so things here are pretty untouched and pretty damn perfect. So yeah, we should have an easy time of it."
"Absolutely!"
Guy would state as he'd cover his eyes with the front of his palm and point in a direction before spinning around three times and stop revealing his eyes to point off in a forward direction that was East of where he'd originally taken to.
"Thar be the perfect wood!"
Guy would heckle in a piraty tone before skipping off merrily into the shrubbery innocent and complacent with all that was.....Guy.

She could not help but laugh slightly and shake her head, her hands stuffed into her pockets as she let those eyes follow his movements.
"You make an awesome pirate. Now we just need to cut off your leg and give you and eye patch and get that Jack fellow to be your parrot and you will have it made."
Oh she had watched enough and listened enough to get a judge on some people. That one seemed to be Kevala's parrot, so....yeah...hehe
Following along behind Guy she stayed silent, letting him find whatever tree it was he thought would be perfect. She loved her little walk through the woods, only because she could get completely lost in them and never worry about not being able to find her way out.....Not that she really wanted to.......
"Can you imagine being able to live away from everyone? Away from all the fighting and the hurt people constantly want to thrust upon you? It would be so nice...."
Sure she loved her pizza and her movies and shit like that.....but she hated the anger and hate that every one here seemed to carry with them all the time. It was enough to drive a sane person mad and she knew it was eating away at her to.
Looking around at the forest over growth and she would sigh softly and just continue to follow, her mind getting lost......as it so often did.......

"Can you imagine being able to live away from everyone? Away from all the fighting and the hurt people constantly want to thrust upon you? It would be so nice...."
Guy would stop at a white pine tree, Looking up the length of it finding the tree to be large enough to donate without being to big of a trouble. A wide mouthed grin exasperating how much he'd anticipated this.
"It is, been there and done it, Living on your own out here is simply something else. Nothing but the night's sky to watch over you... but then again."
His face would imply his own downtrodden nature something that was rarely seen. "It does get rather lonely..."
He'd shrug instantly shifting back to normal ol' Guy before drawing from his backpack a large hatchet. From there he'd choose a limb and hack away at it making sure the limb was thick enough so he could widdle what he needed of the branch.
"this'll do nicely." An affirmative nod of appreciation as he did so carrying the large hunk of wood over his shoulder.
