Björn where innocence is burned in flames
He can not assume how hard it is to be blessed with her gifts. Most would probably just write her off as being ill in the head or worse. He assumes by the weariness of her posture that she sees her gift as a burden that weighs heavy on her shoulders. He wishes he could help her up and take some of her burden upon himself. "At first, I was afraid for my herd," he pauses. "But after I saw you starting to convulse I knew that it was more than demons," he says softly as his glacial eyes search hers, hoping that he could offer some relief to her aching heart.
When a smile tiredly spreads across her lips, he can feel the air between them lighten. Perhaps I am. She says, yet her words weigh heavy with a deeper meaning. "Your family does not understand your gifts as I do," he says thoughtfully before continuing. "They are fools if they do not regard you in the same light as I now do." he says with a shake of his head. She mentions not taking her words to heart, but her ominous warning still clouds his mind. She does not know how correct her vision is.
Her next question is asked carefully and Björn's glacial eyes remain glued to her as she inquires about the correctness of her vision. He clears his throat and begins to nod his head, answering her question before his words even leave his lips. "Yes, I do know the stallion," he pauses and eyes her to see her reaction as he continues. "He is my brother, Ivar. And before you even came to my shores, I had received news that he has just arrived on the Islands," he says in a serious tone. "He will show upon these shores soon enough," the words leave his lips confidently.
She had foreseen his brother snapping at his heels, chasing him from island to island, and perhaps even the battle his brother so desperately needs. His glacial eyes narrow as the thoughts of Ivar flash across his mind. "He will not rest until I return to the Norðurland with him," he says just above a whisper, his words float on the breeze. His glacial eyes settle on her. How would she react to his news?
