he'll never stray

The gods were responsible for... well, for many things about this place. Víðarr's gods. Kiela's gods. Someone's, and it didn't matter quite the specifics. There's something about that sameness, without being the same. Something about it that he loves more than he can explain. She's always meant comfort, for him. Ever since the beginning. As the herdswoman fades into view, a grateful smile crosses Víðarr's shadowy lips. There she is. As he can always trust her to be when he needs, there she is. His heart warmed.

"Kiela," the warmth comes from his chest, from his smile. It's radiant, and he'd allow it to fill the space between them. As he'd done what felt like many times before, he reached out to offer his broad cheek to hers. A gentle greeting, something that is friendly. Friendly, not without tenderness. One of his best, oldest friends in this strange new world. It seems to him, they'd seen each other through more time than even most of his family. The viking king is grateful for her, for her loyalty. For her bravery.

"It is, even better with you here." He's genuine. "How are you? How is the herd?" Though there was business to discuss, Víðarr would check in with her first. She was more important than any plan or scheme or favor he could ask of her. The viking king takes a step back to observe, really look at and see her. Though his tone takes on a bit of a harder edge when he asks his next question. "And your companion, too?" Víðarr knows Sverre's name, and little more about him. Kiela trusted him, she must to bring him in so close. Still, the viking king is more possessive over her than he cares to admit. Respectful, yes, but Kiela was important to him in ways that were rather different than usual.
