Not a simple question to answer. Boats. Surprise attacks. Coordination and practice. Fearlessness. [None of it is said boastfully. It was the most simplified way he could think of to explain the usual tactics and advantages used by the Vikings. Military tactics were a difficult thing to explain without any visual aids.]
That level of corruption is common place unfortunately. A bit of land here, a false accusation there and before you know it, you're a tyrant. [His lips pressed into a thin line, but her story was a good distraction.] There can be. If someone tries to kill you or if they try to harm your family.
[He smirked at her description of the punishment she'd dealt out to her enemy, but seemed confused about her reluctance in killing the slave.] Good. You did the right thing. Slaves cannot be allowed to be violent towards their masters.

[He leaned back, apparently to contemplate her question, scratching his fingers through his beard idly as he thought.] I don't know how I should treat them. Our gods walk among us anyway, but they are rarely obvious about it. They appear as wanderers under fake names, testing our characters or wits. The gods here are not. They are simply being themselves. So, I should treat them no different than anyone else, right?
