“But father-” She straighten up like he wanted. “You’re the king now,”

The late hour, and the kind but surprising reception were almost too much for Angrboda. She buried her face in Gyda’s chest, suddenly feeling very shy. She stayed that way for a moment, and with a giggle (she was her father’s daughter) she turned her face up to look at Gyda, “Please?”

Without waiting for the older girl to respond, she climbed down from Gyda’s lap and scampered over to where she’d seen a basket containing a comb and some odds and ends for her hair. Angrboda carefully picked it up and laid it on the bed next to Gyda. She then spotted a low stool which she dragged over in front of where Gyda was sitting on the bed, and plopped herself down on it. Angrboda leaned back until her feet popped out from under her and her head and shoulders landed in Gyda’s lap, giggled again and said “Please, Gyda?”

It was hard not to chuckle as she watched the little girl eagerly fetched what was needed. How long had she been waiting for this? It seemed like she had this planned out for a while.

“What kind of braid would you like?” Gyda asked, starting to run the comb through the child’s hair. She was thankful Angrboda got gathering everything covered, for she was getting a headache from the ale. At least braiding and playing with another’s hair didn’t have too much thinking in it.
