Stavanger Bay Dangling feet from windowsill

Maybe one more post out of each of us and then Lagertha is good to thread with the other BRD members to get that thread count up to 50. <3

 

The savage’s expression did not change in the slightest as he listened to his witch doctor speak of their new visitor. His dark vision continued to roam over her figure with narrowed brows and thin leathery lips. Once Doe had completed her introduction of the woman, Skellige lifted his head and breathed deeply, taking in the faintest scent of a pack on the female who stood before them. The coal-smattered individual did not seem to be perturbed by his presence or his expression, which allowed him to think that she was either simple or she was merely a creature who favored good fortune and kindness. While the sea king was not pleased with either of those options, he decided to take Doe’s opinion and construct his own plan.
 
The stranger then introduced herself as Lagertha and he frowned softly at the sound of the nicknames that had followed. Fixing her with an intent expression, the wraith stepped forward and loomed over the she-wolf. “You wish to take the sea as your home, then? Our culture is not one to look lightly upon,” he began in a soft growl. “You will be required to take on a role that will help build our home and craft our people. No one is exempt from this rule. Should you have children, they will be subject to rituals that some do not look kindly upon – are these things that you are willing to accept?” the sea king inquired with a short quirk of his brow. The yellow of his fangs peeked from beneath his dark lips as he spoke, and he did not break his gaze with the Viking wolf.
