Theon Greyjoy wasn't spoiling for a fight. In fact, he appeared to be trawling for a good time as he considered the fattest tree trunk near the compound

"What did that tree ever do to you?" She'd been sitting on a nearby branch, watching his progress at singularly maiming the bit of forestry. Not that there wasn't a point of throwing daggers, but just to throw?
She'd rather perfer to flip her own.
She slithered down out of the tree, dropping the last six feet to land on her feet a bit like a cat.
Theon didn't try to squash the guilt that tickled the pit of his stomach. Instead, he let it roll off his shoulders like water as he yanked the blade from the tree.
"Trees have never been as kind to me as they are to you. I'll never understand how you move so quickly in them." He gave a soft, amused snort through his nose and then managed an evasive smirk. "Now do you mean to stand there forever, or are you going to come kiss me instead?"
Shadow smiled and moved closer to him, standing on her tiptoes for a kiss. "You know you always get a kiss." She smiled wider, and hummed softly as she leaned up higher. "I fell all the time when I was your age. Just write it down as experience."
Theon laughed -- he would also never get used to age references since the woman didn't look to have more than twenty years to her name.
"Mm," he leaned down for another kiss. "I can do that," he nodded, and he could because he preferred not to think of himself as clumsy. "Were you getting into trouble?" he asked against her lips.
She leaned up further, using her forearm on the back of his neck and the tips of her toes balanced on his shoes. "Mmmhmm. I'm always getting into trouble." it was mumbled, her free hand sliding under his shirt, her nails skimming his back. "Were you?"
"Mmm, only looking," Theon made a deep, throaty noise at the feel of her nails. In truth, he'd been planning on trouble -- he was feeling especially reckless and destructive in a way that she did not deserve.
Theon wrapped his arms around her then and hauled her up, burying his face in her hair, its scent so familiar, comfortable. Part of him was sick of the familiarity while the other part wanted nothing more than to inhale her all day long.
