"Why?" Ivar asked his sister who sat beside him whilst she held his hand in her soft ones and stared at the waves, ebbing ever so gently. "Why do you waste your time with a cripple?"
Gyda looks to her youngest brother in disbelief as she places her hand upon his cheek, gently caressing it.
"You are not a cripple, Ivar. Not here." Gyda replied as she reached to place her finger upon his temple. "Your legs might have given you a disadvantage but your mind is of more importance. You have a knowledge that none of your brothers possess."
Gyda smiles and wraps her arm around her brother who placed his head upon her shoulder.
"I'm going to teach you to use it wisely. And never say I'm wasting my time with you, you are my brother. As an older sister, it is my job to protect and guide you. Understood?"
"Yes, sister." Ivar nodded, smiling faintly. "I understand."
