Comments

i'd been hoping he'd meet someone from Vikings.

[illuminatingbrendan]

No. [brendan shakes his head as he accepts the hand up. his hands are scraped, his clothes are torn and his face is dirty, but he's unhurt. eleven year olds can be resilient like that, even after falling rather impressive distances out of trees.]

I was just climbing.

[does there need to be a reason?]

Hopefully the first impression is a good one.

( He's about her son's age. Never let it be said that she would ever underestimate the capability of any boy over the age of ten. As it is, he is bouncing back impressively from the fall he's taken.

A tough kid. And an admirable resilience. )

Did you see anything interesting up there?

( Other than dinner running off in the opposite direction, anyhow. Lagertha eyes him quickly, looking for signs of injury. Thankfully, it looks like he'll be bruised at worst. )

[illuminatingbrendan]

Three empty nests and a hole with two owls in it.

[two owls, after all, clearly being so much better than only seeing one. she's a strange woman, unlike any he'd ever seen before at kells, but that fact doesn't seem to make him cautious in the slightest. if anything it just makes him more curious and more inclined to chatter if given the chance.]

There might have been more further up, but I slipped and...

[he trails off, looking down at his sandal clad feet. one of the straps got torn in the fall when it snagged on a branch. a monk's habit might be simple, but it isn't the best for exploring.]

Usually I try not to come down so fast.

[ex_halberd259]

Two! Were they small or large?

( Her children are not far apart in age from this boy, and yet the way he behaves is so markedly different. Do all Christians encourage such innocence in their youth? It's a cultural difference which she finds interesting, and most curious. She smiles at him, not about to deflate his pride. )

You climbed far up for one your age. It takes great strength to do such a thing. ( And it does. If there is anything she admires and encourages more in children than courage, it is strength. )

What is your name?

[illuminatingbrendan]

Brendan. [he realizes, a little late perhaps, that his manners have been missing and tries to correct it, mostly by calming down and looking less excitable.]

From Kells. Thank you for helping me up.

[ex_halberd259]

Lagertha. My land is far to the north. ( She says, and can't quite think of where in the land of the Saxons a place named Kells might be. Her smile softens, as the maternal side of her kicks in. )

You're welcome. Tell me: have you been out here by yourself for long?

[illuminatingbrendan]

[he thinks about it for a moment. if we're counting being alone as not having constant adult supervision then...]

Yes. I think I like it. I don't have any chores and there's nothing else to do so...
