Stavanger Bay I'm not playing anymore now i'll win

No, no, he doesn't resent the children. He was thinking that as in because Tveir is always siding with Thistle so it leaves Ragnar with the impression that Tveir thinks he is a monster and is afraid he'll be like him. In which case Ragnar wonders if telling them the truth will soothe any worries on that front. xD

The Second born's ears looked like radars upon his head, too big as they were, and Ragnar fought the urge to internally cringe at the consideration that he had once looked as awkward as Tveir did now. Ragnar was not so nearly pompous as Vali had been in terms of physical appearance but even so. He was long since past the awkward stage his children were entering and for that he was inherently glad it was only suffered at one point in life instead of at multiple stages. Your ears are too big, Tveir, Ragnar teased his son, giving the boy a smile to implicate that he was purely jesting (despite that it was the truth). Heaven forbid the boy be as pretentious as Vali was and take offense to it and tattle to Thistle and get Ragnar in even more trouble with his Queen Wife. Ragnar suspected, despite what Thistle said, that she was lying to him and he was trying to not get further into trouble with her.

Ragnar knew that Tveir had long since chosen his name, Gunnar but for some reason Ragnar had a hard time addressing him as such. It was Pump's fault, making him use numbers for his children instead of actual names and Ragnar had done it though he'd been against it from the start because the numbers had stuck &mdahs; exactly as he feared they would have. When he looked at his second-born son he didn't see Gunnar, he saw Tveir because it was what Ragnar had called him. Old habits died hard. Why are you on the borders? It was a casual question, but seeing Tveir on the borders rose suspicion within Ragnar. Especially since his children seemed to be kicking around the bush when it came to apprenticeships which would only spare them for so long. Eventually, he expected them to earn at least one and if they didn't? Well, they knew the rules of the pack and Ragnar didn't think it very fair that he expect it from everyone except his children.
