This seemed like a good place to wrap this up. Feel free to reply once more or archive as is. :-)

Ragnar gave a lofty shrug of his shoulders, accepting her 'I suppose so' which had not sounded very convincing to his ears. While he ha answered her inquiry with honesty, the truth of the matter remained that he didn't need to explain himself to her and she could think of him however he wanted. Worse case scenario as far as Ragnar could see was she ended up hating him or thinking him as a monster and left. There was no one forcing her to stay. As far as Nerian went Ragnar had never really treated her as a slave but it was the titles they had went with and so it was the titles that had stuck. He intended to free her from the title soon, as soon as he figured out a discreet way to do so and that was all that mattered. Alas, the girl was willing to let the subject drop and Ragnar let it fall between them having no desire to pick it up again.

"Good," Ragnar spoke breaking the silent he had adopted when she made her vow to earn her place within Stavanger Bay and nodded when she have him her name. It was a long name, and one that would, no doubt, cause him to likely mispronounce it. Knowing this, until she have him a shortened version to use in it's stead he would likely stick to calling her 'child' because in hindsight it was a much easier word for him to get out. "If you have any questions Nerian can not answer you can call for me anytime." He didn't care if it as in the middle of the night. He would make the time for his subordinates. "I should he back to my patrols by when Nerian returns would you tell her I would like to speak with her?" Ragnar asked of the girl hesitating at the edge of the clearing Nerian's den was in, waiting for her response before he would dissapearing into the shadow of the trees, his destination the borders.
