"And that's the thing about illicit affairs
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
It's born from just one single glance
But it dies, and it dies, and it dies
A million little times"

"why can I not go with you?" Astrid begged holding onto her fathers leg "this is no place for my little dove" Ragnar shook his head with a fond smile "but father" Astrid began, pouting out her lip, "now now Astrid" her brother mumbled playfully, messing up her neatly braided hair.
"Ragnar" Astrid groaned, swatting at his hand "Astrid!" the girl's mother yelled "yes mother" Astrid said, sending one last glare to her brother before walking off.
"There you are sweet girl" Sigrid her mother mumbled, cupping her face softly "I want to go with father and Ubba" Astrid huffed "oh darling that is no place for you" her mother hummed.
"Now will you go see your sister?" her mother questioned "alright" Astrid shrugged.
"Fathers back" Astrid looked at her sister before running off to find him.
"You're back!" she shouted running towards him "I am" He said crouching down to catch her "who is that?" She looked over her father at a boy "a boy who almost killed him" Her brother Ragnar said approaching them "a little boy could not kill our father" Astrid scoffed. "Ah I said almost" Ragnar teased "I'm off to find grandfather" Astrid rolled her eyes.
"Father, this is the boy I told you about" Her father spoke breaking up the conversation his father and Astrid were having, "the one who almost killed you? and you're leaving him with us?" Ravn questioned "I've never seen a man get the better of you yet. " Her father chuckled. "I'm Astrid" she smiled shyly at the boy "Uhtred" the boy whispered unsurely, looking down at a girl on the floor. Astrid followed his eyes until hers met the same sight. Frowning, Astrid sat next to her grandfather.
"cut me some chicken" Ravn muttered, passing a knife to Uhtred "Careful the blade is sharp. it can kill a man" Ravn warned "I'm no man" Astrid crossed her arms, watching as Uhtred stared at the knife "i'm going to find Thyra" Astrid muttered.
"You two to bed now" Their mother told them sternly "but mother-" Astrid began "Now Astrid" Sigrid huffed, and without further argument Astrid and Thyra went off to bed.
