Glendalough Fair
“Hávamál Harald Broadarm sat on Sea Hammer’s afterdeck and gently tilted a cup of broth and ale into Starri’s mouth. It was not the sort of task he would generally welcome. Tending the wounded, he understood, was as much a part of campaigning as caring for one’s weapons. But he was never very comfortable doing that work, and he feared that being the youngest man there the others would tend to pawn the job off on him. Just the thought of that made him resentful.
But this was different. Th...is was Starri, whom Harald liked very much. Most of the men liked Starri, or they ignored him, or, Harald suspected, they feared him. Harald’s own feelings were different than the others, more complex, though he would not have thought of them in that way. Starri was part of Thorgrim’s inner circle, part of his father’s household, and that alone made Harald’s relationship with him different. He and Starri had fought side by side many times. They had suffered much together, and had shared triumphs and wealth.MoreLess
