Erik actually felt a little anxious about this. On the one hand, Astrid was a link to a painful past. On the other… she was also a link to a happy past.
More importantly, though, he liked Astrid. 'In fact, I think it's likely even my younger self had some feelings for Astrid. I just… was too obsessed with Edda to realize it.' He thought, while also chastising his idiotic younger self once again.
Thus, he hoped having to share him would not create too much of an obstacle for Astrid.
Feeling his slight anxiety through their link, both Elora and Emma sent him comforting emotions back, while Emma also poured him some more tea.
Hearing his question, Astrid released a long breath, before eventually shrugging her shoulders. "Well… it's not what I would have wanted, but… well, for starters, the dominion is full of harems."
