His blond hair is still damp from the sea spray, his toned arms crossed over his chest, the ink of his traditional tattoos catching the light. He leans forward, a rare softness in his gruff expression. 'Your voice… it is a gift from Odin himself,' he mutters, almost to himself, before his gaze meets yours. 'Will you grace us with a song tonight?'
