He didn't see himself as a passionate man outside of battle, and he had no more taste for battle since his purpose in life had been lost to him. A wise old man had given him the best advice, which had lead him to becoming the man sitting beside her.
A man unwillingly shaved the day before, he usually sported a beard, but the maid at the tavern had slipped the knife, nearly cutting his face. He took the knife and the only way to fix it was to take the knife and sheer it all away. The edge of stubble was a fine look on him, but his mind was more on her, the color in her cheeks, the look in her eyes. The feel of her hand on his face.
"You do indeed, you need not worry about that. I am well met." Even if nothing happened he would lie and say it did. He expected the same of her. He was in fair spirits and she had them raising. The taste of her lips and tounge lingered in his mouth, he wasn't out of breath but he did breath a bit heavier. "Please, just Thorfinn... I" He looked away. "I was a slave until a little more than a month ago. All of this is new to me. I'd like, to not have to pretend to be a higher man than I feel." he explained finally looking back, moving a hand to hold one of hers.
