Yuma's Pov
"Ivar this is boring and stupid I'm not going to stand here all day while you get tattoos."

"Want to strip down naked and put on a show? Stop your whining Yuma." I flipped him the bird who a casual smile causing for him look up towards me smiling my way. He was doing well just standing still while the men behind him work hard on doing his tattoo.

He simply held out his hand for me to hold. Although I didn't want to, I found my hand slipping into his own lacing our hands together. I hated how warm it felt. I cursed their gods for making me so attracted to Ivar and his blue eyes, and I even wanted to curse his bloodline but I couldn't do that.

I found myself plopping down into the chair next to Ivar, both of us drawn into a fit of whispering with one another.

"Come on I know you think the tattoos will make me even more attractive." I breathed out a soft laugh, keeping my head pressed on the edge of the chair.

"You already are attractive you fool, you are so ridiculous release me." I said through my laughter trying to get free from his hands still he just yanked me closer to him. His own laughter sounding out.

"Make me hmm?" I stared in his eyes in amusement and leaned in acting like I waa going to kiss him. It caused for his entire face to change a different color. He was looking away quick like.

"Don't do that Yuma!" I burst out into harder laughter, it caused for my ribcage to ache in place.

"You are such a baby Ivar!" I exclaimed ignoring his angry puffs. I settle back down into my chair still laughing at the faces he made before I notice his brothers had made their presence known walking over to us.

Bjorn had decided that traveling was really what he wanted at the moment taking some of the men with him, leaving the rest of the army with Ivar, Sigurd, Hvitserk and Ubbe.

"The army is looking nice yes?" He exclaimed towards the three. They all seemed to be looking at one another before speaking.

"We just ran into your bodyguards." Ivar grunted out the pain of his tattoo now hitting him setting back so he wasn't moving so much from the object hitting down over his skin.

"What?" He questioned playing dumb towards them. I found my eyes flicking between the four chewing at my thumb in a soft manner.

"Your body guards why do you need them?" Ubbe continued even more like it waa the dumbest thing he saw all day.

"I'm a cripple I need body guards for me and my lovely seer." I flashed him a casual smile making a kissy face at him, which he just winked at me in return holding my hand back.

"You can't just shut us out Ivar. this is our army too and if we have to. Will fight you on it." Hvitserk smirked casually at the two of us, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Have you two gotten together yet or not?" I clicked my tongue playing along for just a moment feeling Ivar lift my hand up to kiss at my open palm a few times.

"Well that's all up to Ivar of what he wants his future to be." I trailed my eyes towards him seeing his very blue eyes.

He looked a little hesitant in thought like he waa remembering that important talk from not so long ago.

"I made a promise and I have to stick through with that one." I smiled in his direction faintly at his response. At least now he remembered I could keep my half of falling for him, yet not breaking my promise to myself for what was to come.

"Good choice boneless." He hummed out a soft chuckle still keeping a tight grip on my hand in response, rubbing his thumb over the course of my palm.

"All though some rules and promises are meant to be broken." It was now my turn to roll my eyes gently facing the confused brothers I spoke in a gentle tone.

"I saw a vision that I won't be telling Ivar. But that if I grow close to one of you. I may share. Ivar has some greatness ahead, in his bones you all do at the best. But I will just say be careful." They each locked eyes with one another before looking at me with intrigued.

"But to promise me that I won't grow too close." I cleared my throat in a soft manner at the stares before I was standing up brushing off dust and all from my dress.

"Come lets take a walk Yuma." I eyed Hvitserk but he gave odd no malice like Sigurd did. When he gave me his arm, I hooked my own into his walking with him while he talked to the rest.

"I know you have a thing for my dear brother. Yet it doesn't take a fool to see you are holding yourself back why?"

"Because it's going to destroy my hurt when he replaces me.. The pain is me wishing the gods could take me."
