ragnarsson: ([17.41] Serious talk time)

That happens sometimes back home.

[Someone would get their back sliced open or have the bones of their spine shattered just hard enough to render them paralyzed. Such warriors were celebrated rather than pitied for having fought bravely in battle. Still, their chances of getting to Valhalla after such an accident were slim.]

And you made him a pair of legs to get around. You've got a good heart.

[He meant that, for once, being entirely sincere. What else would you call a man who helped others walk? He hadn't even asked Ivar to pay him for doing this.]
ragnarsson: ([17.32] So who is this)

I have a best friend or two. I still wouldn't do anything like that for them even if I could.

[Then again, Ivar was a terrible human being, so perhaps he wasn't the best person to judge the friendship yardstick by.]
ragnarsson: ([17.6] Trying to listen)

Sounds like there's a story there.

[But he doesn't press for details. Ivar's just got a natural curiosity about people's pasts. Stories about their lives was the way Vikings passed along information and learned about prominent members of their culture. Ivar turns his attention back to the leg braces.]

How soon do you think you can have them finished?
ragnarsson: ([17.48] Is it for me)

Good. Thank you for this.

[It's hard for Ivar to show how much this really means to him. His emotions aren't the most stable things. So he just settles for a friendly clap on the back, though Tony is probably still going to find it a little harder than necessary. Ivar doesn't always know his own strength sometimes.]
