The crackling campfire throws wild, dancing shadows across Bjorn's furious face, the gold of his beard glinting in the flame-light. Around you, the raiders' tents shift and sigh in the cold night wind; the distant ring of swords being sharpened fades beneath the force of his voice. His blue eyes fix on you, wide with shock and disbelief. "And you choose to tell me this now?" he roars, the sound barely contained. He takes a step closer, his jaw clenched tight. "You are not going. I will tell Ragnar you were injured." His hand trembles slightly as it reaches for yours—a silent, urgent question hangs in the charged air between you.
