Britt stops in her rampage and looks over to the man that was adressing her. She walked over slowly as if she was coming to listen to what he wished to say to her. When she was in range though she made a heavy swing with her sword, not caring where it struck the man would be down if it made contact.
In the distance the rest of the Viking hordes charged into the soon to be inferno of a city, tearing and raping and pillaging. They have already swung by the local military base, stopping a full counterattack short of the local police and armed citizens. It was led by Britt's father, and they were making short work of the opposition.

Mikhail manages to dodge, granted he ends up nearly falling in the process.
"So you don't want weapons, including guns? I have a whole warehouse full that I might be willing to let go of." He shakes his head, and then says, "Well? What do you think? A warehouse full of weapons in exchange for letting me live doesn't sound bad to me."

She simply looks at his body robotically for a small while, wondering what she should do with the man. It would be so easy for her to cut him down, but then the storehouse might be lost before they can find it. That leads to her ultimate decision.
"All right, show me this place if you want to live. Quickly!"
She keeps her sword raised to make sure that he dosn't try anything stupid. If he even looked like he was reaching for a weapon she would decide to just look for the place herself.

"Right. That's more like it."
Mikhail is smart enough not to try anything, and leads the way at a brisk pace. Though somehow managing to maintain most of his composure, his heart is pounding, and his fingers occasionally twitch which is a nervous habit of his. Reaching the door, he unlocks it before kicking the door open, and comments as casually as he can, "Help yourself."
The warehouse is fairly well stocked, given the situation after the third world war. He wasn't lying when he said that there are guns: two rifles, three shotguns, and three handguns. There are five boxes of twenty five rounds for each type of gun.

Britt pushes past him to look inside, trusting her men would be smart enough to protect her if he tried to pull a weapon. By the sound of the din outside the battle was dying down, the resistance was ending, and this would be the first step into Russia.
"Not enough to equip an army, but my father took a military base, so these should do for some of the officers, since they seem better then general issue. Alright, you have guaranteed you live for now."
She snapped her fingers and the Viking warriors began to jump on the man, in order to subdue him and take him as prisoner. Besides, he only asked to be assured his life. She had more important things to worry about, mainly the coming of the Soviet military. It was definately decimated during the third world war, but Russia is a big enough place that it has places to hide guns, like Mikhail's storehouse for instance.

Mikhail inwardly curses not having thought to ask for his freedom as well, but keeps his mouth shut. His token attempt to struggle is quickly overpowered, and is pretty clearly only a token attempt to try to keep some shred of his dignity. _
Kaja, and those with her finish their area then, and return to where her prisoner had been knocked out and firmly tied to a metal post. She unties him from the post, but doesn't remove the ropes preventing Aleksei from moving. Then they wait along the appointed return path for Britt, and her group.

The majority of the Viking hordes continued to do as they pleased, making special ruckus after raiding the local beer halls. One of Britt's thugs was tugging Mikhail behind him as she went to see Kaja. Upon greeting the group a smile quickly found its way onto her face.
"I see I am not the only one to walk out of here with something more then victory. We should go, it does no good to kill the citizenry, and the Valkyries will clean up the dead souls soon enough."
The overall victory went very well for the hordes of the Norse, they suffered mimimal losses, and all that were shot were killed immediately due to lucky headshot. The weapons appropriated will be well utilized in the next battle and the defenses will be built immediately. Britt can only hope they can withstand the Russian counter.

"Alright..." Kaja tilts her head curiously, and glances at Mikhail, then asks, "What are you going to do with him? He doesn't look like a warrior."
Mikhail mutters something in Russian, but his tone suggests whatever he muttered wasn't exactly kind.

She looks at her prisoner for a moment, and gives him a quick backhand slap with her gauntlet for his mutterings. It was just a glancing blow, more to show him that the threat was there then to cause any sort of actual pain.
"Well Kaja, I guess I will show him the hospitality of my family towards war prisoners. He should count himself lucky, males don't usually live this long after a battle."
Females who fight against the hordes usually wish they didn't. She wasn't looking to change tradition, she rather enjoyed the code of the Vikings. The fallen of war are just as much up for grabs as the spoils. Those that didn't fight will have the honor of being included and incorporated into the tribe.

"It wouldn't suprise me if you savages ATE the rest of them alive. I bet you'd even call a gun a 'boomstick' if someone didn't label the proper term on it," Mikhail inwardly mutters, turning his head away from the slap.
Kaja half-smirks then. "There are worse fates... I'm still deciding what to do with this one, but I guess I have plenty of time to decide." She shrugs then asks, "What did he give you in return? I think he'd struggle more if he didn't trade something to get capture instead of death."

She smiles at his reaction to her, it might be fun to have someone at her beck and call. Heavens know that her father already had plenty to himself, she would be on the road to finally catching up to him.
"Weapons, I am thinking of giving them to my personal unit, but I would be happy to split them with you Kaja if you would like. And I am sure my friend here would be happy to teach us how to shoot right?"
She smiles back at Mikail, her thoughts turning to what she would call her new pet when she was teaching him some tricks. Things like back messages and cooking would be perfect for after the war was over.

Mikhail grits his teeth, but replies, "...right..."
"I wouldn't mind learning how to shoot. Thanks," Kaja replies. "Mine turned over quite a bit of the local currency, I figured that would come in handy enough to be worth sparing him. I was thinking of seeing what was needed after everyone's back together again."

Britt smiled and gave an almost mocking wave to Kaja's prisoner. Having someone to associate with has always been great, and Kaja has been just short of a sister to her in the time that they have known one another.
"Well then, practice with shooting will start once we turn back the Russian counterattack. Right now I think I am going to take this man back home and show him the ropes."
She begins to drag Mikail behind her towards the tent, the sentries always nearby just in case the woman needs some help. She feels she might just be able to have some fun with this situation. He would find soon enough she isn't a harsh master, just enough to keep people in line.

"I think I'll take mine back home, too. Once he comes to, I'll see how much I need to teach him."
Kaja drags Aleksei back to her own tent, and props him up against the corner of the cot. __
Though scowling, Mikhail has enough common sense to know that struggling will only make it worse. "So... what are you going to make me do? I heard tricks mentioned." "And do you think I'm some kind of dog?!"

She brought him back to the tent and unbounded him, not fearing some sort of counterattack while she was fully armored and still sporting her sword. It was only a few more days before the Russian strike force showed, she will have to put pushing him around on hold.
"Right now, you will do nothing too out of the ordinary. I will teach you how to break down my tent to move quickly and during the daytime you will teach my unit to use the weapons in your armory. And if you feel like escaping I have a sentry outside my tent at all times. It pays to be the daughter of a warlord."
She giggled to herself and finally started undoing her armor. She was nothing too out of the ordinary to look at, besides her very athletic and warrior like build. Not something often seen on gals her age, but not many ladies her age fight for a living.
