Maybe He Fell In

Lynvarr picked up the spear and positioned it so that he could bite a notch in it that would hold the spearhead. He carefully worked his jaws into the top end to create a single notch. He debated about trying to add a crosswise notch but in the end he decided against it. He planned to help anchor the spearhead with pitch and see how it held up. With the spear done he picked up the axe handle and began to chew a notch into that as well. He waited til he was done to answer Káti's question with a chuckle. "Nay. My oath to my betrothed as been kept." He hoped some day to make enough of a fortune to bring her with him to these strange lands and marry her properly but there was still much to be done. He supposed he ought to find a back to settle in but he had yet to pick one out. "Are you claimed, Káti? By a woman?" He didn't often entertain the idea of someone being married to a man. It didn't often arise in his culture.
