Torket

Whatever comes from the south, person or cargo, weighs the ship down. This winter I'm counting where that weight's been loaded.

• HelgiBut helmsman, you told me a heavier ship holds a straighter line.
  TorketIt can also sink in a straight line. Row.
• Seidkona GrimhildYou count weight, but what cracks in spring isn't the ship.

A man from across the water called out the weight of silver through the door crack. For the first time, I heard the words 'lighten the ship before spring comes' and thought them right.

• BrynjaSo you stood in my shed and listened to a price being called on what's mine.
  TorketI only listened. And I hoped the jarl would only listen too.
• UlfheidSo, helmsman, why leave out exactly how much silver it was?
