"So, what's something you've always wanted but it's so hard to get?" Saxa asks whilst laying next to Thorvald in her bed.

"Power..."

"Power?" Saxa questions.

"Yeah... Power..."

"Why power?" Saxa asks.

"Many things you can do with power..."

"Like?"

"I myself would like to know..."

"I must say, you're pretty interesting Thorvald."

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Thorvald asks.

"Good thing." Saxa says whilst stroking his hair.

"I must say, your family probably chose the best house in the village..."

"Why's that?" Saxa asks

"Your bed is much more comfy than mine back in the barracks..."

"Thor?"

"Mm?"

"Why do you fight?"

"Simple. Power and strength."

Saxa started to feel uncomfortable as to why Thorvald was so obsessed with the idea of having power.

"Okay, listen... I'm going to be honest Thor, it kind of freaks me out the way you just want power..."

"...Me too..." Thorvald says drowsy.

Thorvald then fell asleep in Saxa's bed, right next to her.

It's midnight... Saxa turns to Thorvald's face and whispers...

"Psst, wake up."

Thorvald opens his eyes.

"Hmm? Where am I?"

"You're in my bed dummy, you need to leave."

"Why?" Thorvald asks.

"My dad won't like it when I'm sleeping with a soldier?"

"Why?"

"My father doesn't believe in violence, now go!"

Thorvald then got out of the bed and climbed through her bedroom window and snuck back to the barracks...

He opens the barracks door and closes it quietly behind him...

"So where were you all night?" Harald asks.

"None of your business traitor..."

"I see that disrespectful mouth of yours is still the same..."

"I only disrespect those who are a danger to me and the people of my clan."

"Are you hearing yourself right now?" Harald asks.

"What do you want, Harald, get to the point."

"I want you to start treating me with respect boy!" Harald shouts.

"Alright, why did you headbutt me then?"

"Because you walk around and talk as if you know everything about everyone, you're being extremely arrogant Thor."

Thorvald then just ignored what Harald said and walked to his bed in the barracks...

8 hours later...

"Rise and shine ladies!" Sigmund shouts.

"Come to the eating hall immediately!" Sigmund shouts again.
