Jökull tried to stop himself from wincing, feeling guilty for making Valkyrie worry so much for him. He could feel her wincing along with him, sharing in his pain and suffering. A wife shouldn't have to subject herself to such grief. No, this just wouldn't do. But he was to remain here while healing. A soft gaze met hers, his voice tired and gruff.
Maybe leave tomorrow morning? I want to spend as much time with you as I can. Even if it means just for the night, I want to see that face before I slumber. Kiss it as you wake before you depart.Jökull attempted to hold her close, afraid to be alone, apart from her for longer then necessary.
Just promise me that when yo do go, that you will be safe. Come back to me, my heart's fulfiller.
