⁑ Warnings: Religious conflict, mentions of human sacrifice and heathen practices.
Bjorn is leaned to believe she may be finding an excuse to keep herself - and his sons! - away from the sacrifice.
"It soothes my heart that you are caring for your brothers, but they must learn there is nothing to be feared in our gods' manners and so must you."
Ubbe is more tender to the situation. He knows she may need some more time and understands she may be really finding a way to flee from such a foreign practice. He'll soften it for her, but only this time.
"When older, they must face their fears. And I would like to have you there by my side next time, princess."
Hvitserk tends to be playful the first time it happens - a behavior that won't repeat if it keeps happening frequently.
"Hey, there is nothing to be feared, uh? I'll be there to protect you!"
Sigurd leans to his explicative/educative self, sitting with them to tell them stories and explain there is nothing to be feared about their gods.
"And this is why we make these sacrifices. Those people are voluntarily wanting to give themselves as gifts to the gods, my sweet children. There is no need for fear. Instead, we should honor them with our presence."
Ivar is kinda annoyed. A part of him doesn't want this Christian influence around his kids, but at the same time, he knows it won't be that easy for her to abandon what she was raised to be. So, he tends to try slowly luring her into the acceptance he wants.
"These heavens you say... I don't see what's so bright about them. And when did your Christ come to see you in person? I saw the gods with my bare eyes, my daughter. Odin himself came to speak to me and I assure you all, my children, there is nothing to fear at all!"
