It's a terrible day for rain

Ravens had descended upon the viking king, catching him en route to the mountain. The news was enough to send him crashing down from his recent highs. It's with a heavy heart that he gathers himself, his eldest son, and prepares to make a short and unexpected trip to the Hallows. Erik would need to learn, and he would need the extra hands. That, and he'd started drinking near-immediately upon receiving the news. In his grief, the viking king has allowed himself to shut down. Erik's purpose would be twofold.

Loss was inevitable, but this? The viking king knows Audra for what she is. He knows that she won't be gone forever. Still, his heart aches. Deep in his chest, it aches. Approaching the pyre briefly, he places a bundle of salted meat, a skin of mead, and a small pouch of herbs. "Tja... ha det så bra, okej?" The words are spoken to Audra, and to Audra alone. "Res säkert." Quietly slipping past his lips, the viking king doesn't linger, taking a spot beside his son near the back of the crowd. For as intoxicated as he is, it's well hidden aside from on his breath. Mourning practices are cultural, after all.

"Víðarr"

translation notes:
Tja... ha det så bra, okej -- "hey... take care, okay?" (informal usage)
Res säkert -- travel safely
additional note: erik is sitting next to him but i don't have the energy to post him separately atm
