Zander nodded. “How many children do you have?”

"Three. Two sons and a daughter in between. My oldest nearly twenty, my youngest only seven." He gave a rare smile. "I hold great pride for my family."

“As you should,” Zander said, returning the smile. “Family is precious. I don’t have kids of my own, but I couldn’t be prouder. ‘Uncle’ is the sweetest gift I’ve ever been given.” He wrapped his arm around Ky.

She looked between them, having no idea what was going on, so she offered an awkward grin and leaned into his arm.

"You seem like a good uncle," Ivar said with a nod. "Strong and loyal."

“Thank you. I try to be.” Zander nodded to him as well. “You seem like a good father. I’m sure your children feel very loved.”

His smile faltered, and his grim countenance returned. "I miss them very much; I wish to return home soon."

Ah, well, so much for that.

“I’m sure you will.” Zander nodded to him.

"I will see them soon," he said firmly. "And they can meet May."

Zander’s eyes flicked towards her, then back to Ivar. “She’s planning to return home with you?”

He nodded. "I asked. Rickard said she said yes. There is nothing left for her in the East, and she may have children again if my sons and daughter find her worthy, which they will."

That was good that he’d asked. Ivar gave off vibes of a man who was used to being obeyed, which may be fine for an authority figure, but maybe less good for obtaining consent. But he had. Which was good. “I’m happy for you both.”

"We are happy for us, also." He looked down at May with a small smile. She returned it, though she still looked exhausted.

Zander smiled a bit. At least a single good thing had come of this for them. Although he couldn’t imagine becoming romantically involved with a woman you couldn’t speak to. He wanted at least a rudimentary knowledge of their language before he became sexually involved, much less thinking about bringing her home to the kids. But. Whatever worked for them.

"Do you have a wife or children?" Ivar asked Zander.
