@r4gnar : " I do not understand you sometimes, but you are my brother. if you need my help, you need only ask "
" It is not just you, I do not understand myself most of the time, " A smile forced his lips to turn up at either end, his gaze focused on the cup of ale in his hand before it lifted to look at Ragnar. He found himself constantly torn between doing what he wanted and what was right, what he had to do protect those around him - to protect Ragnar as he'd sworn he would do. " I'm not certain your men would like it. " To take back Bebbanburg would be reclaim his birth right and it would mean a home not just for himself and his man but he would extend it to Ragnar - he was his family. But to ask for his help? It didn't feel as simple.
His men had certainly voiced their opinions since his arrival and he couldn't blame them, Brida was not wrong - he was caught between both worlds, one by duty and one by love for his family. " - I would not want to put you in a position where they question your motives as well as mine, Ragnar. You have a duty to them. "
