Stone Circle Sleep, pretty darlin’

Gunnar smiled at the youth and realized he didn't know much about him. And he hadn't taught him as he should have. This he felt guilty for. He decided then he'd teach the boy better. Starting with perhaps a hunt?

Gunnar's heart twisted at the boys question and he wished he could promise him this, so much. But Gunnar was not young anymore. He was old and his time would come, hopefully not for at least another year or so, but you could never know. Instead he smiled and he nodded.

I will not leave. It was all he could offer. He wouldn't leave of his own free will, but if death took him there wasn't much he could do.

Skald, would you like to to hunt with me? I'm pretty slow now that I'm older and I often need help.

That wasn't the truth, well it was a bit, but he wanted to teach the boy without him feeling as if he were teaching him. So he didn't feel embarrassed or anything.
