Duskfire Glacier sorrow by name and sorrow by nature

“You are not the first,” Gyda murmured though his admittance to his reluctance to call Seageda home anymore had not truly required a response from the viking queen. He spoke that he was looking for Thuringwethil and for a moment Gyda hesitated unsure if she should speak to him the truth: that Thuringwethil was with her, leading beside her or not. There had been a reason Thuringwethil had sought to distance herself from whatever remained of Seageda. But if it was trouble he sought he would have to go through Gyda and the warriors that Thurin and her had amassed. She would lead the slumbering dragon's wolves to protect her Heda ...at any cost. “I know where she is,” Gyda spoke, guarded despite the smile she gave him. “May I inquire as to why you seek her?” Perhaps her hesitancy was unnecessary but she was curious and she felt she had a right to protect her Heda even if this male before her posed no threat and had nothing but the best of intentions.
