Erik was on the verge of death but that was what Erik loved the most, flirting with death that is.
Arild had hidden her ax behind the body of the deceased man, something that Erik missed because he had his attention on the duo rather than his environment.
But Erik showed unnatural flexibility, managing to twist his body to generate enough momentum to avoid the ax last minute. Looking up, he saw Rediar descending with his weapon but Erik had lost interest in this fight.
Grabbing Reidar by the neck mid-air and tossing him aside like the ragdoll he is.
Erik got back to his feet, he wanted to have fun and that was why he dropped his weapon but now he had a different definition of fun.
"Reidar, you said you wanted to talk…." Erik asked, uprooting Arild's ax from the ground.
Erik admired it, it had a certain craftsmanship to it, unlike his simplistic-looking weapon.
Reidar nodded in response and Erik returned his gaze to Arild.
