"We never really offer anyone protection," Ubbe says a bit ruefully. Perhaps he thinks there are better ways but it's not currently the way of his people and he is not in a position to change it yet, exactly. Not that he would completely abandon the warring ways of the Vikings. He can still feel Odin's presence in his life and feels Thor's hammer beat in time with his heart. "I am not sure whether it is better or worse."

Ubbe shrugs. After all, he knows that Viking morality is at odds with the common morality of most that find themselves here.

"That must be troubling to live with."
