‘ DON’T YOU WORRY— PEOPLE HAVE A TENDENCY TO REMIND ME WHAT I AM. EXCEPT I HAVE SET MYSELF TO BEAT THEM TO THE PUNCH. IF ONLY FIGURATIVELY. ’ & as much as he misses the sound of a skull cracking upon meeting the blunt force of an ax, ivar has ( although reluctantly, ) learned to be unaffected by how other people see & think of him. what entitles them to judge him according to their personal measuring stick anyway ? for one reason or another he is yet feared & to him it is secret knowledge conveyed by a grin & the white to his eyes a harbinger with a blue gleam. chin high, he looks up to meet the other with an intense stare. even at the bottom of all he never loses the feeling of being able to conquer the world. THE LOWER YOU CRAWL & THE MORE DIRT STICKS ON YOU— IT BECOMES LIKELY FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERESTIMATE ALL THAT YOU ARE. ‘ what about you ? what could you possibly want ? i have learned that something about the words — KING & QUEEN — makes even reasonable people behave like idiots. would you agree that these foreign lands, IN MY POINT OF VIEW, are not any different than my previous observations ? ’
