Rikard shrugged, taking the seat next to her. "It's my duty as Chief. I'm just glad you're happy, and everyone else gets a night off. And alcohol. Speaking of which..." He grinned and gestured to a young Viking-to-be, who was waiting nearby with a pitcher of ale.

Evalda rolled her eyes, smiling. "Alright. Let's see if Cheif can hold his alcohol."

"Are you accusing me of being a lightweight?" he teased her, taking a sip of the ale as soon as his mug was filled.

"Maybe," she snorted, watching him drink. "Let's see if you prove me wrong."

"I'll have you know I'm the Chief. It's my job to withstand copious amounts of alcohol." Rikard grinned at her as food was placed on large platters before them - largely lamb and beef, but also small plates of fruit.

Carefully, Evalda served herself some of the food, wondering how much was acceptable. She was starving, but everyone was watching-- she could hardly stuff her plate at this point.

Rikard watched her, a little amused, before impaling a large slab of lamb on his knife and dropping it on his plate. "So, I take it you'll want to join the hunt next week? If you're recovered completely, that is."

"I don't know," she mumbled, staring at her plate. "What if he's out there? My father, I mean."

"I'll be there," he said confidently. "All the best warriors will be there. If your father's waiting for you he wouldn't dare attack."

"Alright... but I'm going to need to get myself a better weapon for hunting beforehand. I can hardly make clean kills with a dented battleaxe."

"You can visit the armory first thing tomorrow and choose something," he told her. "Or maybe not first thing... it depends how much you drink."

She paused, wondering what kind of weapon to get. Certainly not a bow. It would remind her too much of Erikur.

He resumed eating, glancing down the table where the rest of the Vikings were also starting the feast. "So what are you planning on getting?"

He nodded, taking another swig of his ale. "Take your time. You can always change later on."

She took a small sip of ale herself, nodding. "I think that I should just get myself a new axe. I can hardly choose a bow of any sort, and my swordwork is dodgy at best."

"Have you ever tried a spear?" he asked. "Kaia sometimes favours them, and they're not as... extravagant as swords."

She paused. "No, actually. Perhaps I could try one."

He nodded. "Anyway, how is your mother? Has she been in to see you much?"

Evalda shifted uncomfortably. "She hasn't really talked to me since the day I've come back, just given me teas and things to make me feel better. Then she just leaves."
