It was not often that Ragnar left the Bay these days, with his Outrider trade earned some time ago, and even then being the
Jarl did not afford him the leisurely time to go off at his conqueror’s heart desired. Despite that he had made Thistle his Queen she still turned to him to the ultimate decision, just as he had asked her too, though he trusted her enough to know how he ruled and how he made his decisions. It was, mostly, the harder decisions that he was not so sure she as capable of making because his Queen Wife was softhearted. It was what made them so vastly different from one another, and what made both of his wives so different from one another. Ragnar was the enforcer of his rules, his laws, the way of his people and his culture and though he didn't doubt her per say he wondered if her bleeding heart might allow her to forgive too easily. Had Syver disrespected and challenged her as he had done to Ragnar would she had been able to make the decision that Ragnar had? To chase him out and threaten death if he came anywhere near the Bay ever again? Many Norse had this misconception that they could do whatever they wanted because Ragnar, too, was a Nord; but it begged the question that if they thought the sharing of a culture would share them for disobedience then were they really
Norse? Their culture did not excuse disobedience and more often than not it led to death.
Regardless, he did not plan to be gone long and had told Thistle his destination previous to his departure. He wished to speak to Peregrine after hearing that Junior had apparently, left them. He had it from Gunnar whose information Ragnar trusted, but because he was just a boy decided that it was better that he find out from someone who, probably, knew a bit more. It was odd to hear that Junior had left her family on the Plateau, and a little disheartening to the Viking that she had ran off with some 'womans pack' instead of going to the Bay where she knew she was always welcome. It wasn't though, as if Ragnar had spoken to her as of late. Many pieces of the story were missing and the Scandinavian could not help his curiosity, or his worry.
When the platinum colored Jarl reached the borders of the Plateau he stopped, being sure to leave an adequate distance between them and himself, before he lifted his head and let out a call for the Readleaf-DiSarinno man, hoping that Peregrine wasn't too busy to answer some of Ragnar's questions, and hopefully, reassure him.
