But since you've been gone, girl you know the thought of you's driving me mad
who: Ivar and you! + some closed prompts
what: The Viking tries (and fails to) deal with heartbreak
when: After August 25th and into September
where: All over the city
warnings: Possible violence, mentions of underage sex
She'd left him. Well, to be more specific, Letha had left him and Winter. Somehow, that hurt almost worse than anything, knowing that she didn't love her own child enough to stay and care for her. What had possessed her to do it, he'd never know. They'd finally slept together for the first time, and while they lay in bed together afterwards, Ivar had worked up the courage to tell her that he loved her for the first time.
The next day, she was gone.
Apparently, they'd gotten that portal working well enough to send her where she wanted to go. Those running it told him where they'd set it for: Kattegat in 816. His home world. Wasn't that just a kick in the ass, that she'd run away to where he'd come from? Ivar had been too stunned at the time to do much more than wonder why.
Eventually, the emotions hit, and considering the Viking never had a good grasp on them anyway, they were all over the place. He could be found alternately crying his eyes out, sulking like a small child, taking his rage out at the weapons training center, or spending time with Winter to distract himself. He could be encountered in just about any mood, but one thing was clear: Ivar was hurting bad, heartbroken in the way that someone could only be upon losing their first love.

He continues over and squats down to get a better look at the child. A little pale but she seems well enough. Shrugging, "It can be, depending on the child. Mostly, babies cry to let us know what they need because that's the only way they can communicate at that age. I've heard of some infants being calmer than others. She might just be that way naturally."
He reaches forward with one hand to gently grab one of her hands between three fingers, checking hers, the digits still much smaller than his own, "Is she eating regularly? Sleeping well?"

His eyebrows go up a little when Strange reaches out to touch Winter's fingers. Most people besides him tend to avoid contact with her once he explains how her powers work. "I'd be careful if you touch her. She sometimes drains people if she gets startled or upset." Not that she seems either right now, perfectly content to just look out at the world around her. Her little eyes squint in the bright sunlight, looking up at the doctor.
