The Area Around Þingvallavatn, Wednesday Afternoon & Evening

[fh-vikings.livejournal.com]

It might have been Eric, or the squirrels, or the moose, or a very intrepid Danish NPC who had talked the Vikings into this. That was something the Viking women who showed up at the causeway didn't share. To be fair, since they only spoke old Norse, it would've been kind of hard for them to.

But one of them did have a sign that read, somewhat jaggedly, 'Þour'. They had even attempted to squiggle the bottom line of the first character in such a way that it kind of looked like a 't'.

They had planned a tour of the general area and its bounties, as a way to say thank you for all the interesting meat they had managed to procur on the island Þus thusfar. Past the waterfalls, to the hot springs, to the valley of the AlÞing, Þhingvellir itself-- it was really quite lovely.

Of course, Fandomites could just go to the village and get hopping drunk and maybe start a barfight instead.

God knows that's what the Vikings themselves were planning to do.

"Comparing me to a Viking is only dooming me to some unfortunate fate," Sam declared, dropping his jeans on his pile of clothes before dipping a toe into the water.

Yes, it was definitely hot and he shook his foot off before shaking his head. Just standing there and acting like this was too much for him would get him nowhere. He exhaled and slid in the water, pretty much figuring his entire body was going to be nice and red after this.

"And that wasn't mocking," he added once he'd settled down and avoided rocks, "that was astute observation on my part. It's one of my talents."

"I think as long as you don't rape or pillage anyone, you'll be fine," Jocelyn pointed out. She heard him get in the water and tilted her hands to see. "Modesty all taken care of?"

"How astute does the observation have to be to be a talent? You did notice the water was an odd color and everyting."

Her question about his modesty seemed to be answered when he didn't protest her peeking so he didn't answer it with words. Instead, he just let some of the milky water slide through his fingers.

"I dunno," he answered, glancing over at her. "I think astute for me would be different than astute for you. Lately, I'm lucky if I remember to put on shoes so noticing that I'm barefoot and about to leave my apartment is astute for me."

He wiggled his toes under the water and shook his head. "No, I'm not that bad. I'm just not used to having to make astute observations. Hadn't been necessary for awhile."
