[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 7046271, member: 2820"] Thorir had not been in a good mood finding Astrid and Eben both gone so quickly. He had been seeing to the set up of the camp when Astrid stormed up to him. He had been about to snarl out a question when Astrid's verbal barrage began. Thorir stood and listen with his arms crossed. A fierce look upon his face. Thorir had to admit to himself this girl had spirit, a fierce, proud spirit. She would have made Freya proud. And she was courageous and smart enough to invoke the laws of the Thing in her defense. Didn't MacTier turn his back on the old gods? Maybe his daughter had been blessed by the old gods anyway. Those were old lands up there, not easily relinquished by humans changing their minds. Thorir waited for the verbal torrent to stop before asking [COLOR="#FF0000"]"Finished?"[/COLOR] Astrid nodded. [COLOR="#FF0000"]"First of all, I gave you my word that you would be safe. I have told my men to not accost you, and they also understand that you are here as a wereguild and not a captive and will not endanger the rewards their fellows would lose if they were to depredate you. So do not question my honor or you will see how angry I can get."[/COLOR] he said this last sentence with such ferocity that Astrid took a step back from him despite herself. Again Astrid saw a confusing blend of noble words with the bearing of a savage pirate. She never knew which she would get. Thorir's face soften a little and his wolf-like grin returned [COLOR="#FF0000"]"Secondly, I have no obligation to fed you, much less provide you bath water. I merely need to keep you alive. I also have no need to allow you to be free. So by all means keep up your demands little jarlinna and you will find yourself, bound, dirty, and hungry."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]"Thirdly, if violence erupts it will be Einar or your father's fault, not me or my men, and so I have no duty to keep you safe from their stupidity."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"] "And lastly. In the matter of Eben, I have a desire to know why but will hold that question, and simply grant that last [I]demand[/I] in full"[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]"Now my little jarlinna. Shall you continue to demand to be fed and make other demands on me? Or shall you rely on my hospitality and trust in my honor to allow you to remain unbound?"[/COLOR] Astrid huffs at the unexpected answers, then whirls and stomps away. Behind her she can hear Thorir laughing. [/QUOTE]
