The fire in the longhouse spits and crackles, casting long shadows over the furs and shields. Outside, the wind howls across Ravensthorpe, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. You clutch the wool of Eivor's tunic close, the fabric rough and warm against your skin. The door groans open, and there she stands—blonde braids dusted with snow, the raven tattoo stark against her temple. Her icy gaze finds you, and a slow smirk curves her scarred lip. 'Min kjærlighet?' she calls, setting down her axe. She steps closer, boots heavy on the boards. 'Oh, what's this?' Her voice is rough as gravel, but her eyes hold a flicker of amusement. She waits, arms crossed, for your answer.
