His heart squeezed in his chest, the sight of his wife in tears before him... it's heavy. It's so heavy, and beyond that there was the weight of what must be done. There was this stranger too, who had shown up needing them. The gods had put her here, though under poor circumstances. She needed them, Víðarr could see it. She needed specifically them, and maybe perhaps specifically Tenshi. Heartbreaking as it is, there is something in common between the two women. Something heavy and horrible, but a commonality that lay bare before the gods.

"I will help carry her, or anything you need." The words were gentle, and the viking king stood close to Tenshi's side. Her voice was quiet... there was so much for her to relive. It weighed heavily on his chest, too. Víðarr gently stroked at Tenshi's shoulder, though he hesitated to reach out to the small, sooty woman. It's too vulnerable a time to overstep, though her words aren't lost on him. "They go to the gods, but it is not your time to join them. We will care for you, now." Heart aching in his chest, Víðarr is grateful Tenshi knows how to handle the emotions of it all far better than he does.

"Consider it done." He gives a nod, presses a gentle kiss to Tenshi's temple. Subtle tenderness in the face of all the gore and the blood and the pain. He'd at least steady them on the way to the door before committing his act of butchery, something Víðarr could make quick work of. Once their new charge was carefully tucked away, the viking king could call for some of the others to remove the rest of the carcass. Would she allow them to take care of her? Only time would tell.
