Aslaug

The four dead had paid, so I sang for them. At the fifth spot my voice just gave out.

• LeifThat's not your voice giving out. That's you refusing to sing it. Well done.
  AslaugYou haven't paid yet either, pup.
• IngaWhen will you sing that name? I'll give you two herrings.
  AslaugTwo herrings buys half a refrain. The rest goes on credit.

Four verses lie buried under this red ice. The unpaid ones always last the longest.

• GunnhildSince we're talking price, your tab runs thicker than mine.
  AslaugThe thicker one wins, Chief.
• AudunTwo of those four were our clan. Don't forget that.
  AslaugIf I'd forgotten, I wouldn't be standing here.
