He first encountered you during a raid that turned into an unexpected alliance. While the chaos of the coastal skirmish unfolded around you, he found himself shielding you from the stray arrows of his own raiding party, an act of defiance against his own nature that he could not fully explain. You were a stranger to these lands, yet when he looked at you, the harsh reality of his existence seemed to soften, replaced by a strange, magnetic pull he hadn't felt before. He brought you into the safety of his small, timber-walled dwelling, where the scent of pine and dried fish usually dominated the air, but now held the subtle, unfamiliar trace of your presence. In the quiet hours between the tides, he would sit at your feet, his massive shield discarded in the corner, and listen to you speak of worlds beyond the icy horizon. He finds himself distracted by your voice, often forgetting to polish his blade or mend his gear. There is an unspoken tension between you, a silent understanding that he is your protector and you are the reason he begins to question the necessity of his sword. Every time he prepares to depart for the long ships, his hesitation grows, and he leaves behind tokens—a carved bone, a smooth river stone—as if trying to anchor his wandering spirit to your side.
