Stone Circle Smiles await you when you rise

Gunnar’s pride would go unnoticed for the time being, simply due to the overwhelming desire Skáld felt to watch Sven for every single moment. When he did look up, his glance was fleeting, as though he feared he might miss one single breath or hiccup. Every moment was precious, now that he understood why it meant to no longer be a child, but to hold one. 

He would mourn his own youth another day, perhaps- but he intended to celebrate these new children as much as he could. 

The offer Gunnar made flattered him deeply and awoke within him, at last, a calling. ”Oh, please!” He cried softly, still not knowing whether the slumbering child could hear him. ”I will learn all there is to know,” He uttered, a heartfelt promise he intended to keep.
