"Not well." Erik laughed, continuing to make progress on his spear. "Maybe you can show me tonight?" He asked looking back at Taya. When it came to the feasts, he tended to avoid the dancing. He wasn't an awful dancer, but he still imagined Taya would be able to put him to shame.
Erik could help but smile knowing Taya also did not have a partner.
"I'm sure it'll be delicious if you learnt to cook from her." He said, a small smile creeping across his face, as he continued to work on his spear. He'd been hunting since he had turned 12 and sharpening his spear was something that was effectively muscle memory for him. With one side of the flint sharpened, he pressed his thumb against it to test the edge. It drew a small amount of blood and satisfied, Erik flipped his spear over to work on the other edge.

"I don't." Erik replied, finishing his stew. "There's never really been anyone. The feast will be good though." He added, leaning back to grab his spear from it's place in the snow. Setting it across his lap, he took a stone and started sharpening the flint. Attacking the stag its point had broken and it was no longer really sharp enough to be useful.
"Do you?" He asked, as the two of them sat working together by the fire.

Erik jumped slightly at the sound of Taya's voice and he hoped she hadn't noticed. He swallowed his mouthful of stew and turned to face her. "Yes thank you. It's delicious." He said, replying to her question. "You're a good cook." He added, finding himself smiling once again. "Everything good with the deer?" He asked, noticing the furs bundled up in Taya's arms. He knew the village had been low on food before they had left on their trip. It had been a fact on the minds of all of the hunting party and he had been glad they hadn't returned empty handed.
"It was nice to meet you too." Erik said after her, still smiling. The mention of food had made him realise how hungry he was. They hadn't taken too much with them on their hunting trip and during the last couple of days the only things they had to eat were any roots or berries they found. For all he knew Taya could have been a terrible cook but he was sure a warm stew would seem like the best thing he had ever tasted. He also couldn't help but hope that the offer of stew was an indication of Taya's availability, as it was often intended to be.
By now he had been surrounded by some of the other villagers who have come to welcome the hunters home and Erik was distracted from his thoughts of Taya. After a few congratulations and retelling of stories, people began to go back to their daily business and Erik picked up his spear, heading over to the fire. He stuck his spear in the snow and took a seat on a rock, warming his hands for a moment before turning his attention to Taya's stew. Some cooking and eating utensils were left close to the fire and he took a crude wooden bowl from the pile. Ladling the stew into his bowl, the smell hit his nostrils, fuelling his hunger. Ravenous, he began to wolf down the stew. It was hot and burned his mouth slightly, but it tasted too good and he was too hungry to care.

Erik couldn't help by smile back as one of the women offered to take his quarry for him. "Thank you." He replied, still smiling. He had seen her before, he was certain of that, however he'd never been close enough to realise quite how beautiful she was. Not wanting to seem like he was staring, he handed her his deer and stepped back slightly. "I'm Erik." He added, finding himself smiling at her once again. He couldn't help but feel like he was about to find out about some husband some where else in the village.
Sorry that took so long, things got a bit busy yesterday.

Erik clutched his flint spear and pulled his furs tighter around his body as they made their way through the undergrowth towards the deer that lay in the clearing ahead. They had been stalking their prey for a few days now and he was itching to get back to the village and the warmth of a fire. A signal was given once all five of the men were in position and they leapt forth from the bushes. Surrounded, the deer had nowhere to run and Erik drove his spear deep into the neck of a stag, bringing the great beast to the ground. He quickly drew his knife and made sure the animal died quickly and as painlessly as possible.
“Not bad.” He remarked, surveying the clearing once the chaos had cleared. All but one of the hunters had managed a kill, the meat would last the village quite a while. “Let’s head back home.” He added, grabbing his stag by the legs. The others followed suit, dragging the carcasses out of the clearing in the direction of their village. Looking back Erik saw the layer of snow in the clearing, splattered red with blood.
As the men walked, spirits were high and the next few hours passed quickly to Erik. Eventually smoke could be seen rising about the Horizon. Home, thought Erik, picking his pace up, desperate to warm up, telling stories of their hunt around a fire. As they came in sight of the village, he heard shouts letting people know of their arrival.

Hey,
Thanks for checking this out. Hopefully I can explain this well enough.
The basic premise for the RP I want to do is based on This commercial. We'll play two characters who effectively reincarnate, meaning the RP will be set in multiple settings, from Ancient Rome to the Old West to the far future, mostly whatever we want to RP in. Each period of time will have it's own storey of how the two characters are drawn to each other and I imagine it won't always end happily.
The rest of the details are very flexible. The various settings and plots, if we do them chronologically, simultaneously or in a random order etc.
REQUESTS
-Have time to RP, if I'm regularly waiting longer than a few days that's a bit too slow for my liking.
-Please be over 18.
-I have no limits, but if you do, that's okay. Just let me know.
-High Casual-ish, but quality over quantity every time. I get it's not always possible to post multiple paragraphs.
-I'd prefer to roleplay with the opposite gender (I'm a guy), but I could be convinced otherwise.
Drop me a PM or reply here if you're interested.
