Rognvald Sigurdsson

You have a moustache!

m…

My fire…

MM!

Ronnie I’m so sorry - I’m so sorry -

When - When I died, I - I - I didn’t blame you at all, I - I got your cloak!

I’m an old man now Rognvald… you still look young as ever…

I missed you.

y - you… you like the moustache? I was told you’d like it…

Of course I like the moustache. I think you look very handsome with it. 

it’s nice to just hold you again…

It’s nice to hold you. It’s nice to hear your voice. Gods. 

And… and you… what have you been doing these days? I trust the king is kind to you…

…thanks for sparing the details of what happened in Miklagard, Harald. I mean it. I know you had to do it, but - still. Thank you.

why… why are you bringing this up again..? that was ages ago…

…

So you heard the full story I take it. About my blinding the Emperor. Are you upset with me, Ronnie?

I’m upset that you had to do it. But I’m not upset with you. 

I… I wanted to keep the uglier parts of my life away from you… I didn’t want you to have to know.

I wish I could’ve been there for you then. 

the only reason you’re bringing this up is because of Alfred right? Because I was content to leave it in the past.

Yeah. I never would’ve thought about it before Alfred. For a while I didn’t even remember you telling me. 

But I won’t tell them you’re here if you don’t want. 

What

They didn’t like. that I knew you. very much…

ugh…

Did they hurt you?

well, I guess malcolm wouldn’t let them try anything. I still have some salt left over just in case.

… Did you, um, hear about what happened to Yaroslav’s son-in-law? The Exile?

I did hear. Who do you think did it?

Oh, um… Edward the Exile is here, actually. And he says his uncle did it.

I was sure it was that pissy little earl. why would the king murder his nephew??

So now the English heir is six. I’m sure that’ll last long.

Hey. When you’re king, you… don’t make your heir a six year old, mkay?

Heheh… well… as it stands, my heir is twelve… not that I plan on dying anytime soon…

Trust me. It’s not fun. And you still have life to live.

we were supposed to be together f - forever…

I know…

You have a moustache!
