Sköll didn’t even seem to register Ragnar’s words, of his desire to see the Flokisson boy where he belonged in the Ridge, having given no sort of response based upon it. Instead, the pallid boy offered — or rather unceremoniously blurted — that he had ‘lost Ragnar’s baby siblings’. For a moment Ragnar displayed only his confusion at the words Sköll had blurted out in their native tongue until, slowly, they began to process and Ragnar, after it had bubbled in his chest, let out a laugh. Was there a sense in telling Sköll that Hati had found her way to the Ridge? That while, yes, she might have been lost it wasn’t anything he needed to blame himself for? Or would it be better to surprise Sköll with the knowledge of Hati’s presence, allowing him to see her with his own, two eyes? The latter, Ragnar decided, confident that Sköll would choose him as he was confident that the sun would rise and set.
