Api thought about Una’s questions.

Powers? He was told he was a Gravitic Primary which made sense though before he’d thought himself like Sally a Telekinetic; in a strange way they were similar if you didn’t know the details.

Where was he from was easy but would they want to just know he was from Borgarnes a little seaside village that was on the Borgarfjörður peninsula and considered a gateway to the Snaefellsnes National Park one of the most beautiful and remote landscapes anyone ever beheld.

Relationship was also easy because while he was popular with many of the girls back home he was in what Americans called the friend zone; meaning he was single and had always been single.

Parkour was a sport he’d heard of but in his small village there was little in the way of suburban sprawl but if it could be applied to the wild terrain of his home landscape and how he’d gotten the keening Api to describe how he bounced across rocks, ice and crevasse like some crazed monkey he had. 

But it was he final question that made his ears twitch, she had asked for help with Math, particularly Calculus a difficult form. As an only child of the head of the local Lögreglan (police) he’d been very dutiful in his studies so as not to cause her embarrassment so he was 1st in his school and 55th nationally in graduation. 

He had helped many of his fellows back home with various subject both junior and senior to himself a required social custom in a school of an average student population of 65 with 5 teachers. 

He thought about answering her question but politely waited for the others both from a standpoint of manners and knowing their answers might him him understand them better if he just listened.

[b]”Gunnar”[/b] Called his Math instructor Jarl [b]”Please attend to the ones having difficulty with Trigonometry”[/b] the elder asked with a smile. 

[color=Seagreen][b]”Yes Jarl” [/b][/color] Api answered but when he sat with those two years his junior he noticed he was still the shortest but in his way cast such troubles aside and began helping.

When the bell rang later and they were all putting things away Gerta a lovely girl whom he’d been teaching Trig came up and blushing asked [b]”Api some of the others told me that your father was one of the Hidden people; is this true?[/b]

Api suppressed a giggle and thought should he be playful or truthful with Gerta a girl from Sauðárkrókur far to the north. 

Being playful might mean he’d get to be the reason she laughed, he’d heard the Straw haired girl laugh and perhaps smile at him so he settled for playful.

Reaching out he touched her shoulder as he looked around like he was making sure no one was close by and listening.

 [color=Seagreen][b]”Careful Gerta there are those who know not who I am, many my father’s own; Luckily I see none near. [/b][/color]

Then he leaned very close enjoying the scent of her hair and the warmth she gave off.


[color=Seagreen][b]”My father is from Skaftafell; Svartifoss [/b][/color](The Black Waterfall) [color=Seagreen][b]forced to flee by those that covented his treasure a spell of the evernoon” [/b][/color] he whispered then looked around himself with a worried expression.

Then silently he moved the two of them out of the classroom the wide eyed Gerta following. Had he evil intent how he could have taken advantage of her but it wasn’t his way. When they were secluded and completely alone he drew her close and whispered.

[color=Seagreen][b]”You should be careful of what people tell you dóttir of the Sun, believing everything you hear could have the trolls steal you away” [/b][/color]

It took her a few moments but then she remembered the story of the gullible girl and at first thought of being angry her green eyes flashing then she realised her fellows had had a jest with her and Api the monkey and laughed saying

[b]”You are as clever as I was told Api, I was lead by the nose on that one”[/b] then she kissed his cheek calling him Gunnar Grimsson as she left and hurried home.
