Horizon Ridge if i had a voice i would sing

;D Thanks for joining! <3 Also, short post is short but I wanted to get this up quick before dinner. :p

Gyda's thoughts were gone with the wind and she, clinging helplessly to them as they wandered freely. Perhaps it was not wise to lose herself in contemplation, considering that Horizon Ridge had been a free territory for some time and thus meant that she was not alone in wandering it. Yet, the young viking queen could not help herself as she fantasized about what places the wounds would be made upon her face, and what she wished for them to mean. She daydreamed about it as a teenage girl daydreamed about her celebrity crush, doe-eyed and charmed. Dagrun had attempted to talk her out of scarring her face any time she had brought it up, surely — though he had never came right out and said it — it would take away from her beauty as the horrendous scars that marred Ragnar's face had taken away from his physical allure. She had been able to tell that her father had been handsome — she had seen it just fine in the half of his face that remained unblemished. Until he had allowed his eye to be sacrificed which left an ugly, empty eye socket in the place of one of his jewel eyes. 

Her thoughts were interrupted abruptly by a soft chuff that reached out to her through the space between her and the stranger, shattering her daydream to pieces. The sound was a partial greeting and a partial warning and Gyda turned, rather quickly, fixing her own striking Caribbean eyes to look upon the one whom dared to warn her. For a moment, the young queen forgot where she was — that she had returned to Teekon and was not in Odinn's Cove. “Halló,” Gyda broke her previous silence, her accented, native words slipping skillfully off of her tongue. It was close enough to the common tongue greeting that she did not feel the need to offer a translation. Besides, Gyda found herself hoping that she might stumble across a stranger who, too, spoke the language of her people. She missed conversing in it, for when she used it she felt closer to Ragnar if only because it was he that had taught it to her.
