@EccentricFloki "Where shall we hide away then?"
They have a few places that none has found. True peace is hard won here in Kattegat, but they have managed to find it, once in a while.
@EccentricFloki He will share when he is ready. It does not do to try to force him to talk, for he will shut up tightly, and he will be further away from her than he is when he is when he's gone on a raid with Ragnar.
Lifting her gaze to his, Helga manages what she hopes to be a true smile.-
@EccentricFloki can not accept that Ragnar leads, and causes strife.
Then again, there are times when Ragnar is his own enemy.
"What have you seen, my heart?"
(I shudder to think!)
@EccentricFloki Her back stiffens, and yet she does not pull away from him. The world around them seems to grow cold, and the only warmth she finds is in his embrace.
"What is coming, Floki? What do the gods show you?"
She wonders if it is invaders or if it comes from within.
Often, Rollo-
@EccentricFloki She knows he has visions from the gods, and they inspire or trouble him, depending on what they are. He can not accept that he is chosen by them. At least, she believes in her soul he is.
There is a darkness in him, and she does her best to help keep it at bay.
"Can you -
@EccentricFloki Leaning into him, she closes her eyes and sighs. To be here in his arms is bliss. "Have you been dreaming?"
(We have missed you! I'm safe so far. It's super windy, but okay so far!)
@EccentricFloki Her entire being lights up at the sound of his voice and she grins up at him.
"Someone is looking for you, indeed."
She crooks a little finger at him, beckoning him down.
(Her scribe is finally able to be free!!!)
@EccentricFloki A sigh of contentment sounds as she melts into him.
Her hands rest on his arms and her eyes close. They are in their own world, and she savors the quiet.
Quiet is rare here in Kattegat, and Floki's presence is often required. She will treasure every moment with him that she is-
@EccentricFloki his beard before her hands move around to cup the back of his head.
"You walk with the gods. You are chosen. Who am I to question? I honor them by waiting patiently for them to send you back to me. Therefore, I am blessed by them to have you."
@EccentricFloki Sometimes, she believes he walks through Hel here on earth, and it pains her greatly.
"My sweet Floki."
Her fingers trace the face she has adored since the first moment she saw him.
"When you wander, you know I am always here, waiting for you, yes?"
Little fingers tangle in -
Her eyes flash with mischief.
"Are you trying to give me ideas, Floki?"
He can be rather a joker when he wishes to be, and he knows how to make her laugh.
My heart, you could smear coal over your entire body and darken your golden hair, and I would still think you were the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on.
