Are
He was proud of his words, proud of making what he could of what he had. His father would have been proud, his mother too, even though she'd not let anyone but the gods know. The cobbler would even had gone so far as to say his otherwise icy and strong wife would allow herself to shine up, maybe even laugh, maybe even in public.
"In time." he repeated, mumbling, nodding, and even smiling a touch. He had come hoping to set it all right in a night, but knowing full well the world does not spin like that. What was offered seemed far more valuable though, and far more worthy of a smile than any simple forgiveness. Far more worthy of the skalds time. Time the cobbler had no right claiming, but did out of a desire to be the better man. Be the stronger man.
The stronger man that tear drenched shone up at the tides of the discussion turning for brighter shores. Are chuckled at the white haired peacock's posturing and the flashing of verbal steel, oh Jigano was truly a skald through and through alright. "Friend, I do not question if you fight, I know skalds do, even those of Midgård, especially those of Midgård." he said and returned Jigano's mocking tone, Are wiped his face with a dirty sleeve and leaning in closer towards the skald, voice dropping a tad. "I question how well you fight." Are said, cocking a brow and giving him a crooked smile. "Are you as strong as your words, skald?"
