all ties have come undone

There was a mixture of reactions from the children, Tveir seeming to be the most displeased by the changes happening. Despite that he was a child, Ragnar knew he would have to try to make Tveir see that change was unavoidable. It would happen and that he could not run around trying to avoid what was inevitable. He, too, would change. If everything stayed the same there would be no progression and no purpose to life. “No Tveir, your mother will still have my babes,” It was ...hard for Ragnar to explain. He wasn't even sure how he was in love with them at the both time which rendered all attempts at explaining it to his young children nearly impossible. He knew that this would not be easy, but he thought that it was best they be filled on what was happening and by him because it was his fault in the first place. Because his ambition did not allow him to settle for what he had already accomplished and had. More; I want more.

It was why he did not want his children to be as ambitious as him. It was why he had fought with Thistle over it. Ragnar did not want his children becoming like him, or else they would end up in the same situations as he. Their ambition would never allow them to stop, they would kill each other for women, and they would hurt the woman that they loved because they also loved another woman. It was an ugly thing ambition. He had no boundaries, no moral lines to stop him. He would give anything for more, his eye for more knowledge (had even seriously considered it on more than one occasion). Had sacrificed an infant cougar for the appeasement of the All-Father.

Ein was silent about the matter and Gyda did not seem to care either way. It hadn't gone as bad as he had initially assumed it might have, but it could have, also, gone a little better. For a long stretch of a moment Ragnar was silent wondering if his children would have anything else to inquire of him.
