Njord’s Day
Njord is the Asatru God of the sea, of adventures and riches and treasure. In the modern day, its less likely that we’re sailing to find treasure, but the idea of an adventure to recieve something valuable is something we all relate to.
It doesn’t have to be a physical voyage to find something materially valuable, journeys of self discovery can lead us to valuable conclusions or discoveries, and that’s a common way people celebrate Njord and his adventures now.
Today, try to think of something you’d like to learn, discover or see (either literally or metaphorically) and consider asking for Njord’s assistance.
Good offering ideas
- sea water
- coins in sea water / water
- beach stones/shells
- Dark beer
- Mead
- Thick/strong insence

Gimli was done dirty in this scene
Because it's the elves that are shipwrights and make their homes among the trees, relatively speaking dwarves would have little need to cut wood, while elves should be more proficient with using axes on trees
Tolkien, you can't fool me, Yavanna made ents to protect the forests against the elves, not the dwarves

Sitting Down on Their Lap
Ragnar: First he would be a bit cautious trying to work out why you chose that particular time to do that. He might get you to explain yourself and give you some playful jibes about it but would most likely play along and snuggle against you making sure to tickle you a few times, it's his duty after all.
Athelstan: His eyes widen in shock as you gracefully plop down onto his lap. He can feel his jaw drop at the unexpected weight and warmth, and his heart begins to skip beats. His whole body feels flushed and his palms begin to sweat. "Wh…what are you doing?" He'll question you but will let you stay.
Floki: He would be taken by surprise but ultimately amused by this unexpected development, as it is clear that you are just being playful. He responds by wrapping his arms around you, his fingers dancing up and down your sides as he pulls you tighter into his lap. He'll ask playfully, "Well, what have we here?"
Lagertha: She loves it when you randomly sit on her lap. It's unexpected and intimate and shows a level of comfort and trust between you both. It reminds her of how much you just want to be close to her, even if you have no idea how it affects her. It's a simple, but powerful gesture that shows your warmth, and your connection.
Aslaug: She'd be a bit surprised at first, but then she'd wrap her arms around you and give you a kiss, pulling you close to her so you're close as close could be.
Bjorn: Bjorn's heartbeat speeds up, and he glances down at you to see what you are doing. The sudden invasion of space is unexpected, but the contact sends a jolt through Bjorn as he feels your warmth. He puts his arms around you, pulling you closer, leaning his head down until his face is close to yours to kiss you.
Ubbe: He wraps his arms tight around you without a second thought, pressing you into the warmth of his chest. His hands find the curve of your hips as he pulls you even closer. Your weight is comforting and familiar like you belong there. He'll caress your soft hair, running his fingers up and down your neck.
Hvitserk: Well, he’d first laugh. Your sudden weight would catch him off guard, and the fact that you would be so silly as to plop down on his lap would be quite comical to him. He’d take that as a chance to squeeze you as tightly as he could, pulling you close and wrapping his arms around you.
Sigurd: Initially surprised, but then immediately pleased. He would wrap his arms around your hips and pull you closer to him. After a moment he would gently push you to your feet and stand up, then gesture for you to sit on the couch next to him. Sitting closely together, he would wrap an arm around you and squeeze your body against his.
Ivar: A slight smirk crosses Ivar’s lips as you plop down in his lap. He wraps his right arm around you, pulling you in a bit closer, while his other hand moves down to caress you. He leans forward, his lips close to your ear, and he whispers, “I don’t mind one bit.”
Halfdan: He'd be startled and maybe a little bit annoyed at first, but he'd also find it endearing. You would likely be seeking out an affectionate reaction from him, so he'd give you what you were looking for. He'd wrap his arms around you and kiss your head.
Harald: He would wrap his arms around your waist, resting his chin on the top of your head as you sit in his lap. He would smile down at you, amused by how unpredictable you can be sometimes. He would kiss your forehead and pull you closer to him, savoring the moment.

Floki Asking You To Be His Would Include...
-To be honest he would not want to be the one to ask you to be with him. Even though he is a very social man that knows a way with words he does not like the thought of being the one to first ask a woman these things.
-He would prefer you be the one to ask him instead of him doing that. He is also quite scared of being in a relationship because of what happened to Helga and his daughter.
-Because of what happened with his wife and daughter he is afraid of being in a relationship again. So, that is a possibility on why he does not want to ask you first.
-He actually likes you though. So, he often likes to talk to you and be with you as well.
-He enjoys being with you and learning new things about you as well. Often times he will sit with you during the feasts and talk with you all night until you both have to go to bed.
-After a while of both of you talking, he had tried to give you hints that he does want to be with you. Like he will often flirt with you and be just a little bit touchier with you as well.
-After a while of this you had started to notice these things that he was doing with you. And you had questioned him about it and he had made it make sense to you and told you that he wanted to be with you like that but was too afraid to ask.
-You yourself had started to feel some things for him so you had agreed to be with him.
-And after that day you and Floki had been together and both of you are as happy as you both could be.
