"If you agree, you can sleep in this room, right next to ours. I know it's not the best, but as you know, we weren't waiting for visitors" Skaldr told Gridd and Dag, pointing to the interior of a small damp room upstairs along with the other bedrooms.
Dag accepted and thanked the archer again, explaining that the next day he would wait for him in the courtyard to prepare everything necessary for the diplomatic mission with the others.
Skaldr agreed and together with Orvar entered the room where other warriors had already taken their seats, arranging themselves on the ground, occupying every warm corner of the building.
Knowing that this time he could not spend the night alone with Freydis, Dag lay down next to her and his sister, both ready to rest in the designated room.
Unlike the previous night spent in the cave, this time the ceiling above their heads was solid and real and the weather outside the building was nowhere near perceptible.
