Björn where innocence is burned in flames
Björn's thick ears stand erect within his thick, shaggy ebony forelock listening intently on the words that slide off of Osiris' lips. I have come in search of a place to call home. Björn studies Osiris without saying a single word, letting the silence span between him and the man. He contemplates the mans words, as his glacial eyes once again pass to the woman he introduces as Rowena. She does not protest when Osiris offers up their daughter to a complete stranger.
"Osiris, I understand your need for a home and that this need as brought you to a strangers doorstep asking for him to take you in," he pauses briefly before continuing. "I will be honest, I do not trust easily and you will need to gain my trust in order to be considered my bróðir," he says gruffly.
Glacial eyes focus in their daughter Elvira, and notices her displeasure at her father's words. "If you break your word, you will regret it," he says as his eyes narrow. If Osiris double crosses him, not only would the man be homeless but he would be mareless as well. Björn would insure that he loses it all. In the Norðurland, you take an oath with blood and fire and to break it ends with the same.
As the tense moments tick by, Björn can feel the taut muscles in his shoulders begin to relax. His protective stance softens. "Once you have gained my trust Osiris, we will talk further about what you can have," he says as his gaze shifts to Rowena and Elvira.
