The cast expands

Perhaps one of these days I'll bother to draw a background - even though it can be nice to inhabit nondescript blue spaces.

Old Norse passages quoted from Hárbarðsljóð, ll.3-4.

Translation:

"Ferry me over the strait! Do so and I will feed you in the morning. I have a basket on my back, no meal could be more worthy. I ate in rest, before I went forth from home, fish and oats, I've satisfied myself with these."

"How highly you think of the deeds you accomplished this morning - you do not fully understand what's before you. Grieved is your family at home; I think that your mother is dead."
