THERE IS NOTHING HE WOULD NOT DO FOR HER, even face death and he would do so a hundred times, without regrets —— as long as he dies at her side, sword in hand and a war cry on his lips. It would be the highest honor, there would be no greater feat. Perhaps no bard will ever sing about it, about the low born boy who gave his heart and his life to Asha Greyjoy, yet Qarl pays it no mind. He has long since accepted this fate, is ready to swear it has all been worth it in front of their God and everyone who might hear. He cups her cheek with one hand, expression almost solemn, with no smile to break the seriousness of it. The look a devout priest would offer to god when praying, just before kneeling down, a saint accepting martyrdom. They are no saints, that is true, but no one could deny the devotion in his gaze. « I am not afraid. » he carefully pushes strained words out of blood stained mouth, blinking to try and focus his blurry vision on her features, familiar and so much loved. « If I die we will meet again. I will wait for you down in the Halls, my love. » this could be his last vow, it is only right for it to be entrusted to her ears alone.
