Scene CLXXXIV

“Tsk! Fucking kid, say that again-!”

“Milord, here they are…? Why tha glare this time?”

“Teehihi~! Buh bye~ Nu will join Master when Master goes back~!!”— To Kir’s innocent inquiry, the child mocked her Master; while the savage, ignorant of his aid in keeping the child safe from the Archduke’s hand wondered about her enthusiasm after allowing the girl to escape.

Unable to chase the mischievous child at the savages' appearance, Aslak turned to face the nonchalant Sortnerers, staying as severe as he was to dryly demand an explanation of what he learned they had done while in his wife's company.

“… Flaying?”

“Haven’t seen as nice skin. Wanted it at my tent.” — Vinka replied as if obvious. Causing his glare to lay on the other two men accompanying the wild woman who also imposed their presence in crossed arms.

“… I’ve sharpened my axe. Wanted to see a nice cut.” — Yngve said, smirking at the recall of how clean a cut it made.
