The Girl You Want But Can Never Have

Who Is She?

Gyad's Point Of View
There's been something off about Bjorn since Torvi and Margrethe left it's like his scared about something and Bjorn's never like that not even when mother and father would go raiding when we where younger and not knowing if they would come back home to us. His acting how Mother did when father would leave while she was with child it was as if he was waiting to hear that there still alive or something of the sorts.

"What's wrong with you, brother?" I asked him while we where sitting in the Great Hall,

"It's nothing I'm just waiting for someone to make their mind up about something." He told me and I just had to know who was having this much power over my big brother who would usually not let anyone affect him this much.

"Who is she? Do I know her?" I asked, hopefully it's not one of the girls who are crazy about him, Astride sat by my side before looking between the two of us.

"Yes Bjorn who is she, do share." This is why we love Astride, she can always get it out of Bjorn or anyone if I'm being honest.

"Shut up Astride you know who it is, Sister you do know who she is and I'm met to find away to get your blessing for the two of us." He told me and there's only one person that I know who would want my blessing and actually care enough about it, Torvi.

"Your in love with Torvi?" I asked and Astride just started laughing at the look on Bjorn's face and if I'm being honest it's funny.

"Shut up Astride, and yes sister I'm in love with your best friend. Who told me that nothing is to happen till she gets the blessing of Halfdan, you, Porrun, Gunnhild, Ingrid and who's your other friend?" He told me and I knew that I couldn't be mad at the two of them for falling for each other but at least it wasn't Porrun, I wouldn't want to be family with her because it's hard enough being friends family would be close to impossible.

"It's Snaefrid that's her name. How long have you two been keeping it from from everyone?" I asked though Astride was still calming down from Bjorn forgetting Snaefrid's name.

"Well I've been in love with her for many years though I only told her the day she left, I do not know how long she's loved me for though." He told me and I've known that Bjorn's had feelings for Torvi for a few years now I've just been waiting for him to tell her and then I would find out if she had feelings for him too.

"That's great, I'm happy for you brother,treat her right. Now Astride how much do I owe you?" I saw Bjorn smile only for him to look between the two of us but before he could say anything Astrid did.

"I think that would be two gold pieces and four silver pieces, great doing business with you. And thanks Bjorn seeing as you where the one to tell her and then her telling you back you've made me a richer woman today so thank you, my friend." She said as I passed her the coins, then she left to possibly go and tell some of the girls about the fact that Bjorn's heart is now taken by the one and only Torvi Princess Of The Danes.

"You bet on me?" He asked after a little while,

"Don't be so surprised brother. Though I was hopping that I would win but in a way I did win seeing as I'll get to watch you tell Halfdan that your in love with his baby sister and tell a king that you wish to marry his daughter, you just made my day Bjorn, so thank you." I told him only for him to make the face again.

"Sorry to intrude this but your mother ships have just reached Kattegat." The slave said then Bjorn and I where out of our chairs and walking down to the docks, only for mother to be standing there with her arms crossed and looking pissed off at her son.

Bjorn's Point Of View
Gyad and I watched as our mother walked towards us looking pissed and seeing as she's been with Torvi for the past two weeks I have no idea if she knows what happened between us and if she knows that it will hopefully be turning into something real soon, after she talks to Halfdan.

"You my son have chosen someone that I approve of to be your future wife, is she back yet?" She asked only for me to guess that Torvi and her would of talked about it because she's never said it like that before.

"She's not back yet, though I have told Gyad about it or she more or less figured it out with the help of Astride who's now somewhere probably telling someone about it." I told my mother who laughed at my loving friend Astride who was walking down the docks doing a little dance with Floki, to the Gods what is happening today.

"Hello my future nephew." Floki said in a sing-song voice while him and Astride stopped doing their little dance when they reached us.

"So I'm guessing that Astride has told you, Floki." I said who was nodding his head before laughing about something with my mother who was doing something over my shoulder probably mouthing about how in love I am.

"That she did, looks like I will be family of my best friend Ragnar after all." Floki told us which made Gyad giggle and my mother laughing like she'd just heard the funniest joke and knowing Floki there probably was a inside joke there that has been happening since before I was born or maybe I just wasn't paying attention to the conversation.

"That you may now Astride and I will be going hunting now." I told them only for Astride to nod her head then we where off into the woods with out bows and arrows.
