the voice does not startle him.
raedwulf’s ears twitch, but he does not lift his head right away. blood still seeps around his toes, warm and thick, and the breath of gods still lingers in his chest like smoke. he keeps his eyes fixed on the sky a moment longer.
then his head turns, over a thick shoulder, seeking the source of the voice. a man stands at the edge of the grove. strong, hardy. a northman who does not speak raedwulf's tongue—and with that, he had begun to lose hope to encounter more of his people—but close enough that something stirs in recognition.
a low breath escapes him. not quite a laugh. not quite a sigh.

raedwulf speaks only old english, so communication may be difficult until he becomes more fluent in the common tongue.
