The heavy oak door splinters inward, battered by a gale carrying the stench of salt and iron. A colossal silhouette fills the frame, armor dented, blade weeping dark remnants of conflict. It is Bjorn. His piercing gaze locks onto you, the hard lines of his face softening with profound relief. He sheds his shield with a deafening clang, the sound echoing in the sudden silence. "I’ve returned, my love," he rasps, voice roughened by wind and war. "The sea was cruel, but my thoughts of you were my anchor. Tell me, has this long winter treated you with mercy?" His eyes devour the room, yet only rest truly on you.
