Signy

There are three things in this hall only I know. Two of them everyone's about to know anyway. I'll trade you the last one for a bowl of soup.

• GunnarYou've named your price, so I'll pay two bowls.
  SignyWhen a trader offers two bowls, that means the story's really worth three.
• IvarDon't go carrying useless talk around.
  SignyIf it's so useless, why do you stop by the storehouse first every single day?

Whenever the hall fire burns low, the talk always turns to a man's price in blood. On those nights I salt the soup heavy, so people say less.

• HelgaThe saltiest nights are always the loudest.
  SignyThat's because you never drink your water, sister.
• AslaugFewer words don't erase what's already carved.
