Raven's Watch tender, the body

fast-forwarded a few days after this thread. pledge thread! tagged the brothers but this is welcome to anyone! <3

light snow dusts the cold, hard earth as synin continues heading west following the direction of the biting wind and magna’s whims. the godgift raven soars ahead of him; aerial glimmer of snowwhite against ominously grey sky. glacial gaze tracks her easy flight; admiring. he has not found anything like her before nor any beast like her: pure white feathers, strange pink eyes. his magna is unique and he cherishes her, trusting her judgement over even his own at times.

hitta minn, magna. norseman calls out to the raven; black, leathery nose twitching with the scent of others dawning with each step he draws towards the range that looks as if it were cut from some of ymir’s spine. his steps slow, approaching with caution; comforted as magna heeds his call and perches upon his shoulder with a ruffle of wings. she lets out a caw in his ear, twitching back at her annoyance.

sjálfr vita, he croons to her, wincing as she digs her talons into the warflesh of his shoulder. synin takes this to mean his attempt to placate her without apologizing for summoning her back wasn’t accepted. before he could assure the raven he would make it up to her his words are stolen and breath catches briefly in his throat as he takes true note of the scents that have grown stronger because they bring stark recognition.

the brothers. @Stjornuati and @Solpallur are the ones he most readily recognizes though few others needle at the back of his mind as familiar, too. an inky black raven swoops down, curious about the pair but magna bristles, puffing out her chest and beating her wings, her protest loud and echoing in the quiet cradle of land; territorial over synin. a small chuckle rumbles in the norseman’s throat.
