[Dragging a rabbit by its ears.]

Oh sweetie!

[She strokes the fur behind Garmr's ears affectionately, taking the rabbit from him was going to prove tricky.] Who is the best hunter in all the Nine Realms?

[Just seeing him so pleased with himself, is enough to brighten her mood. She kneels down and pats the ground in front of her, gesturing for him to drop his prize.] You are welcome to eat this as is my boy, but I could skin it and cook it for you if you like.

[Hel accepts the rabbit so as not to offend him. It was unlikely to put much meat on her bones but it would certainly taste delicious. She draws the young wolf close and kisses his forehead, unable to fully express her joy at having such a selfless companion at her side.] Thank you Garmr. You must at least let me share some with you later.

[She stashes the kill in her sling bag and opens a portal leading them back home where she can clean it.]

[When they get home, Hel has some souls to attend to. Luckily Garmr always found ways to entertain himself when she was busy. Helheim was a varied underworld with plenty for him to explore, she had learned not to worry over him getting lost in the mists. He was far too clever for that.

Some time later she skins the rabbit, it was not about to go off in such cold conditions. She never used to like the messy job but over time she had become desensitised to it.]

[Hel puts the rabbit on a spit by the fireplace and waits with Garmr at her feet. She runs a hand through his fur absently.

Once the meal is fully cooked she rises from her seat to prepare it, careful not to disturb her guardian. A short while later she sets a plate down for him, consisting of some cooked meat as well as the rabbit's head and entrails.]
You've earned this. Don't worry I won't go hungry, I'm just fussy.

[The rabbit really did taste good. Food that had been caught naturally always seemed more wholesome than the things she prepared using magic. Garmr would likely get some bones to chew on when she was done. How could she not spoil him when he performed his duty so very well?]

[Hel smiles to herself as she notices him wait for her. One would think she was trying to waste away. Her appetite actually matched that of other jotnar, which meant she could eat a considerable amount when it suited her.

The last thing she would do is object to attention from her best friend. She picks up Garmr and holds him tight. For now, he spreads comfortably across her lap.]
Soon you will be large enough that I can lie on you.

[Growing big was very good indeed! Garmr would grow to be the strongest and bravest of guardians but, for the moment at least, he also made a very good blanket.

Hel transfigures her kitchen stool into an armchair, so she can lie back. At this rate the two would be asleep in no time. Even in Helheim there was a time for rest. The sky usually grew dark as Hel grew weary, she suspected that it was her realm's way of telling her that sleep was in order.]

[Following, curious.]

Well now, what's this?

Aren't we the mighty little hunter.

[Grinning, she crouches down and reaches to rub her knuckles against his neck and behind his ears.]

Well done! I'm sure we'll have you bringing down boar in no time.

[She laughs, mistaking his confusion.] Well...maybe a little longer, yet. But only because you have a bit more growing to do I think.

Just a bit. [With one hand she pets him on top of his head, while with the other she reaches for the kill to examine it better.]

How marvelous.
