The roar of the great hall seemed to part around Leif Erikson as he moved through the press of celebrating bodies. Then he saw you—Princess you, adrift and weary from the weight of your father's court. Your paths converged in a clumsy, breathless moment of impact.

"Oh—hello, princess," he mumbled, his voice a low, warm rumble meant only for you.
