A Viking Family Saga
Orm was standing on the roof of his longhouse and was busy shoveling the last bits of snow from it, it wasn´t particularly hard work and he kinda enjoyed it. So he got a bit carless,whistling a tune the last skald had played that had visited their homestead, while his thoughts were with Caras warm breasts. Cara was the concubine of the thirty four year old patriarch and a fine looking Irish lass, that had made the trip home from the last raid of his much more bearable. If only he hadn´t gotten that arrow into his shoulder! The aching could still be felt, even though the scar had healed well, espacially on cold days like this late winter, early spring morning. Orm took a moment messaging the scar, before continuing his work. Living the good life on a sizeable farm with his family and thralls definately was more his style, now that he got older.
So lost in thought was he that he accidently shoveled some snow on a person close by. "Oops, sorry...", he said somewhat sheepishly and jumped off the roof to see whom he had hit. Orm was a fairly tall man in his mid thirties with long dark hair and beard, that was well kempt and braided. "Tora, Estrid??", he called as he stepped closer,"Would you mind getting Erik from the wharf? Its almost time for lunch."
