> **Berit**Bjarki?**Bjarki**What is it?**Berit**Do you think we did the right thing?**Bjarki**What do you mean?**Berit**By betraying our own clan. Joining up with these people.**Bjarki**Do you doubt your actions?**Berit**It felt right in the heat of the moment, but now I am starting to have doubts.**Bjarki**Do you wish things had turned out differently?**Berit**We will never be able to rejoin our clan. Are you really ok with that?**Bjarki**Hmm. I do not know.**Berit**H-how can you be so calm about this!?**Bjarki**There is no use in worrying about that which has already happened.**Berit**I envy you sometimes, Bjarki. I wish I could be half as calm.**Bjarki**We made our choice, Berit. Now we have to live with it. There is no other way.

> **Berit**What are you holding there, Bjarki?**Bjarki**This is a figurine.**Berit**It's absolutely beautiful. Did you make it yourself?**Bjarki**Yes. I carved it from wood.**Berit**Look at the details on this thing. It must have taken you weeks.**Bjarki**Only a few hours. Not so difficult.**Berit**You even etched runes into it. This is a work of art.**Bjarki**I don't know about that.**Berit**Hey, could you make one for me?**Bjarki**Yes.**Berit**How about a miniature longship? Something to remind me of home.**Bjarki**I could do that.**Berit**Thank you, Bjarki. That means a lot.

> **Berit**Bjarki?**Bjarki**Yes?**Berit**Do you think we will go to see our ancestors when we die?**Bjarki**Yes.**Berit**Even after betraying our clan?**Bjarki**If our ancestors have any honor. They know you did the right thing.**Berit**And if they do not?**Bjarki**Then I have no wish to see them.**Berit**It always impresses me how you can convey so much with so few words.**Bjarki**Thank you.**Berit**I find myself drawing strength from your presence, Bjarki.**Bjarki**No. That is wrong.**Berit**What do you mean?**Bjarki**Your own strength comes from within.**Berit**That is not true. I would be lost without you.**Bjarki**You underestimate yourself.**Berit**I am just telling the truth. Without you by my side I'd be dead many times over.**Bjarki**Maybe.**Berit**So, you agree with me?**Bjarki**Yes. We are stronger together.**Berit**.....**Bjarki**That does not make us weak. We are like two stone pillars. Strong on their own, but a lot stronger together.**Berit**That is a nice way of looking at it.**Bjarki**I too am afraid sometimes.**Berit**Really? I can hardly imagine that.**Bjarki**But not when I am with you. You give me courage also.**Berit**Bjarki. Promise me that we will survive this war.**On the honor of my ancestors we will survive this war. Together.**

## Runa

### C Support

> **Runa**Hey Berit! Here are some rabbits I caught earlier.**Berit**Oh, that's fantastic Runa. I will use them in tonight's stew.**Runa**That sounds delicious. The others will be so happy.**Berit**I will be sure to tell them who caught the rabbits. It makes my cooking so much easier.**Runa**Hey Berit, what kind of animals did you hunt in Hornheim?**Berit**Rabbits and deer mostly, but sometimes elks. On very rare occasions we even hunted bears.**Runa**Bears? Was that not dangerous?**Berit**Yes, it could be. Once I saw a great polar bear take down three hunters**Runa**Oh my! Why would you risk something like that?**Berit**Our greatest warriors wear bear fur in battle. It is considered the finest thing a viking can wear.**Runa**Oh, so if I shoot a bear, maybe we can make some for you?**Berit**No Runa. I would never want you to risk your life for something stupid like that. Besides, I am not really a viking anymore.**Runa**That's not true Berit! You are both strong and brave, and you are kind. That makes you better than the other vikings!**Berit**Thank you Runa. You are much to sweet.

> **Runa**Hey Berit. Did you know your father?**Berit**Yes. His name was Olaf. That is why I am called Berit Olafsdottir. It means "Berit, daughter of Olaf".**Runa**Oh, that is neat. Where is he now?**Berit**He died.**Runa**Oh... I am sorry.**Berit**Don't be, he died an honorable death. Or at least that is what I was told.**Runa**How did he die?**Berit**During a raid...**Runa**Like the one that took place outside my village?**Berit**Yes, just like that one.**Runa**Then how could it have been an honorable death?**Berit**.....**Runa**Did you not tell me that there was no honor in raiding?**Berit**I remember the day the longships returned. As was the custom, the surviving vikings carried their dead on top of their shields. I was heartbroken when they told me, but I did not dare cry over his death. In Hornheim, it is considered disrespectful to cry over someone's passing. I was told to be proud of my father.**Runa**That's awful! Everyone should be allowed to cry when someone they love die.**Berit**I decided the only way I could honor him was to follow in his footsteps. So I asked to be part of the next raid.**Runa**And that is how you ended up here, with us.**Berit**Yes...**Runa**Berit, are you crying?**Berit**I am sorry Runa... I need to be alone.[Berit leaves.]**Runa**.....

> **Runa**Berit. I want to tell you something.**Berit**Yes, Runa?**Runa**My father abandoned me when I was little. And my mother never wanted to tell me why.**Berit**I am sorry to hear that.**Runa**But I always told myself that no matter what, my father would surely be proud of me. Because that is what fathers do, right?**Berit**.....**Runa**You tell me your father would look at his daughter, and not be proud of her?**Berit**Runa, I broke away from everything we vikings view as honorable. I attacked my own kin.**Runa**No you did not! You stood up for those who could not defend themselves. What father would not be proud of his own daughter after doing that?**Berit**Runa, I...**Runa**So stop being ashamed of yourself! You are brave and strong, the best warrior I have ever met!**Berit**..... Runa, thank you.**Runa**I am glad I could make you feel a little bit better.**Berit**Maybe you were the true warrior all this time.

> **Buggi**Man, I'm soooooo hungry. I could eat a dozen eggs.[Berit approaches Buggi.]**Berit**Here you go, you can have the rest of my lunch.**Buggi**W-what!? Were you eavesdropping on me?**Berit**You were talking pretty loudly.**Buggi**Wait, you are GIVING me food?**Berit**It's just some leftovers from my lunch that I did not eat. Here, you can have it.**Buggi**Uhm, but why?**Berit**Because you said you were hungry.**Buggi**???**Berit**Is it so weird to you that people show a little kindness to their comrades?**Buggi**Uh yeah. I'm used to having to steal every time I am hungry**Berit**Your mother never cooked for you as a kid?**Buggi**My mother was a whore. She sold me for a bottle of wine.**Berit**That's awful...**Buggi**Eh, don't worry about it. It's all part of life, eh?**Berit**No, it really isn't. My mother loved me. She made sure I never went hungry.**Buggi**Hmm, that sounds nice. Too bad she raised a stupid daughter.**Berit**Excuse me?**Buggi**Just handing away free food like that? Hah, what an idiot you are. Dumb broad.[Buggi leaves.]**Berit**What!?

> **Buggi**Hey, it's the stupid wench from earlier.**Berit**Excuse me, who are you calling stupid wench?**Buggi**Uh, you?**Berit**Try calling me that one more time and see what happens.**Buggi**Woah woah, put down your weapon. I was only joking, mate.**Berit**You really are insufferable. Why don't you try treating people with a bit of kindness?**Buggi**Why would I do that?**Berit**Because maybe then you won't have to steal every time you get hungry?**Buggi**How else am I gonna get my food?**Berit**You could try making it yourself?**Buggi**....... Hahahaha!**Berit**What's so funny?**Buggi**At least you're good for a laugh.[Buggi leaves.]**Berit**....... I'm going to smash a pot over that bald head of his.

> **Buggi**Hey Berit, about those berries you gave me earlier.**Berit**Yeah? What about them?**Buggi**They were quite tasty. Got more?**Berit**I'm all out.**Buggi**Oh well, that's a shame.**Berit**However, I can teach you where to find them.**Buggi**That sounds tedious. I don't work for food.**Berit**Isn't stealing a kind of work?**Buggi**Now that you mention it...**Berit**Learning how to survive on your own without relying on others can be smart.**Buggi**Ugh fine, alright, alright. I'll listen to you this once.**Berit**Great, it's about time you do something honest for once.**Buggi**I'm already regretting this...
