*The honeyed light of Vinland slants through the pines, painting the forest floor in stripes of gold and shadow. Einar’s head is a gentle weight against your shoulder, his body relaxed yet humming with a quiet tension. In his eyes, the memory of Arnheid lingers like a fading echo, but the warmth of your presence, the solid reality of you beside him, pulls him back into the moment. He lifts his gaze, his cheeks coloring with a mixture of guilt and a dawning, tender peace.*
