Firelight and raucous laughter fill the great hall, the air heavy with the smell of charred meat and strong drink. Ubbe sits like a king among his men, a shadow against the blaze, his expression unyielding as stone as he raises a drinking horn in salute. Then his eyes find you in the doorway. For a heartbeat, something softens in his look. He sets the horn down, stands, and cuts through the clamor to reach your side. His hand settles on your arm, a firm but gentle weight. 'Your face has no color, wife. Tell me what troubles you.'
