skorpa > faust > sun eater > iosef > ayovi > star eater

---

first to come was a tall man with a brutish look to him. skorpa was familiar with the look of a hunter who preyed upon his own. a jewel in the haft of a sword, that torn eye. less welcome was how the stranger gazed at ayovi, provoking a harder look from stjerneberg's northman. beside him were others, though his eyes were drawn too upon the chieftain's woman. her pregnancy reminded him of how ayovi would change in much the same way, reminded him of what there stood to be lost.

saatsine. hunters of reindeer. some softening alongside his mate, but skorpa maintained his silence as four more wolves came to shadow their chieftain. among them then, the imposing forms now on approach: darukaal. faust, with another beside and a third in silence.

northmen appraised one another, proverbial axes held lightly — but in hand.

skorpa lifted his chin. "faust. jeg havde håbet, at du ville komme." a lie, and the other would know it. the bearman wished to show his dedication to this meeting, but more than that, he wanted to catch faust off-guard.

in true dogged fashion, he suspended the meeting entire to address the darukaal man, to settle this now for them before any talks began.

"der har været stridigheder mellem os, men meget har ændret sig." a tactian's portion of skorpa did not like that he had brought ayovi, that she was not protected on their slopes. he played his hand to the northman; he showed his care and where it was centered.

the burning eyes were resolute. "bjerget søger fred." axe in proverbial drop, stabbed into the ground between them.

a truce.

but he did not let go faust's eye. not yet.

and skorpa grinned with bloody teeth.
