.Ah, yes, but you don’t .You don’t live with it .You only think of death .You only think of Valhalla

.Floki killed him
.So your gods killed him
.No, Floki killed him out of jealousy .Because I loved Athelstan more than him

.He left because he loved me more
.Well, then You should have protected him
.He didn’t need protecting
?What does that mean
.We needed him .He never needed us
.If he’d stayed here with me, he’d still be alive
.He had enemies here also
He belonged here with me I would have protected him
.Who are you to say where he belonged? He chose to be with me .He chose his path and that was with me .I am not to blame
.Now who’s the one who’s not being honest? Tell me this ?Do you think he is with your gods or with mine
