blood and starlight

I think so. At that point in the show Lagertha had divorced Ragnar (he had it coming, sadly) but yeah, I think the first or second woman they showed that turned away. I kkknnoowwww. Ein is exciteded to be borned. :p

The sound of Thistle’s laughter, so soon after Ragnar had finished his man grumbling in regards to irritated and itchy wounds let the Viking knew that his wife found his grumbling to be amusing. He spared her a cheeky little grin for a few seconds before a stoic expression stole over him once more. The feel of her head resting against the junction of his shoulder blades, and the warmth of her body against his own was enough to make Ragnar sigh with content. “You don’t have to wear it all the time,” He told her though he was not sure what made him say it to her. “I will smear blood on you before every battle or raid, I promise,” When spoken that way …it really took the romanticism out of the gesture and reminded Ragnar of how others might think it inherently barbaric. Maybe it was. He had never cared what any other creature thought of him or his culture, especially because he did not ever remember asking for the worlds’ opinion. “I will slip out of the feast hall every night to spend with you,” The Viking vowed - because he couldn’t spend days with her since the days of the warriors in Valhalla was spent training and either dying (again) only to be resurrected each night for the feast and drinking. Not to mention her days would likely be filled with whatever it was the ones that Frigg took did (Ragnar probably knows but Tokio doesn’t admittedly, lol). “Soon our sons will be born into the world, and they will be raised and trained and taught.” He was ready for them. Ready to be a father, again, though this time it would be to squealing and crying newborns instead of a juvenile who had been captured and suffered memory loss — admittedly at Ragnar’s own paws.
