We are married after all, what's ours is his and likewise, I wonder if that's the "There's a condition in which the Enemy will grudgingly let a Disclosure pass".

You breathe heavily as your limbs protest each following movement. One more, that's all you need! One more is all it'll take for you to realize that flicker of an idea, that faded dream fragment.
But can your heart take one more? With the way it's spasming in your chest, you're not sure.
Regardless, you grit your teeth, you have to try.
Risks are what make Rewards, after all.

Feeding Bjorney Odr-Honey
Bjorney yawned as he rose from his food-induced coma.
It's rather curious, the bear thought to himself as he cast his gaze about the room, Food, no matter how delectable, has never tired me before, so what oddities occurred today?
As those thoughts trickled through Bjorney's mind, he suffered a jolt of shock as realization dawned, By Mimir's Beard, I'm thinking! Oh bother... The trouble this will bring.
0~0~0 Continue reading up on Frisian cultivation Frisian Cultivators have a duel-affinity for water and the conquering of it. Attempting to defeat a Frisian with waterpower will result in jeers and mockery by a water-logged Frisian and his loathsome compatriots, before they promptly send you sprawling with their own water-affinity.
I recommend befriending a man of the desert, as an affinity for dry sands makes short work of pesky water-affinity cultivators.
0~0~0 Experimenting with orthstirr
Abjorn's orthstirr is clearly out-of-place in your body. Where your orthstirr is dense and tightly packed, his is large and expansive. His orthstirr is relatively slow and pensive, but is ready to dig in and resist all challengers while yours bounces around as if searching for an opening to exploit.
It seems that you can give other people access to your Aspects. You, of course, retain ownership over your Aspects, but they can utilize them as if they were their own.
You get the feeling that bad things will happen if someone uses your Aspects in an act of nid.
0~0~0 Alloy Experimenting
Unfortunately, even though Eyetalking and Mother's Fear does Alloy together, the result does not function as Eyetalking requires eye contact to work.
As you Alloy together Banish the Night and Fight of Your Life, you find that it seems to spread out the boost of strength you get from Fight of Your Life to whoever is bathed by your light.
Alloying Punching Up and Stoker State does not seem to work.
Alloying Puncture and Ignition has an interesting effect. It grants all your Ignition moves Puncture by default with no additional costs, but it means that you can't use Puncture on your other moves.
0~0~0 Knightly Armor Examining
You and Sten share a grin as you finally can do all sorts of motions without any pinching—though you never did figure out how you were supposed to put it on by yourself...
Regardless, you're just wearing a wooden mock-up at the moment as the real thing would require anywhere from 528 to 880 ounces of iron to make and also several months of dedicated work that you just don't have.
0~0~0 Crafting rolls can be found in a spoiler at the end of the update
After about a month's work, you've come up with a number of Yule-gifts for your men.
The first, a gift for Vagn, is a gigantic, spike-laden wheel of Forged Iron. It stands at shoulder height and weighs more than you do. The spikes are shaped to resemble a wolf's fangs while a flame-like pattern rides the sides. It'll be difficult hiding its wolf-themed mass, but the look on Vagn's face alone will be more then worth it!
The second, a sword of Storm Iron, is meant for the ever-loyal Stigmar. He swore to be your shield and, with the exception of when he physically could not follow you, he's served that role as well as can be expected, so he deserves a weapon to fit him.
As such, you've designed Shieldingsword with a shield motif in mind. The grip resembles that of a strong arm holding the shield-styled pommel aloft. The guard is a pair of shield-arms clasped together in unity while the runes running up and down the blade proclaim death to armor—for a loyal shield is all anyone needs!
It will be a fitting gift for a fitting friend.
The third is meant for the grumpier half of the Twins. An axe your equal in height with a blade of ice-cold, Frozen Iron. When the air holds moisture in spades, snowflakes tumble from its cutting edge. Though its size is considerable indeed, the axe can be as light as any feather or as heavy as any stone—perfect for a man as strong as Trausti.
The fourth will be in the grinning Twin's hands soon enough, if the Gods have mercy. A pair of twinned saxes of Drafty Iron, they'll be perfect for Tryggr's wind hugareida. With the runes you've lain into the iron, they'll have no trouble return to Tryggr's wind-swept fingers. You can already imagine the sorts of things he'll come up with!
Besides, Tryggr's the kind of guy who'll appreciate the irony of you of all people giving him saxes that return to his hand.
0~0~0 Visiting Asvir
You smile as you once more enter Asvir. Hopping off the back of the Vagn-driven cart, you stroll in with your head held high and a goal in mind.
As you arrive, however, a number of things catch your eye.
The first is that there are a number of rumors floating around, shared by some wandering tradesmen from the east. You could listen in and gather some potentially useful information, if so desired.
The second is that Nainn Rotting and Skoll the Hasty are waiting for you at the Headsman's hall. Skoll actually looks... Somewhat apologetic? Odd.
The third is that there seems to be some manner of Skald performing on the beach. You can spy the bursts of light and color from here and the thunderous applause as well.
What would you like to do?
[ ] Go shopping!
-[ ] Write in
[ ] Go meet with the Headsman for some purpose or another
-[ ] Write in
[ ] Go listen to the rumors floating around
[ ] Go talk to Skoll and Nainn
[ ] Go see what the Skald is up to

Oh yeah, I wonder if we can smuggle Abjorn's Fylgja in and tell him stuff there without the Enemy being able to nose in?
We are married after all, what's ours is his and likewise, I wonder if that's the "There's a condition in which the Enemy will grudgingly let a Disclosure pass".

I suspect we can't do that...but we could probably initiate him and then use various techniques to guide him in the correct methods of Odr cultivation without outright saying things. We just need to work on the gentle way to initiate someone...Bjorney shows one way that might work?

One possible effect for weaving together virthing of 2 people:
Make a tunnel between their doors, which could then allow the affected people to visit each others door and pass it (presumed weaved virthings effects: no ambient Odr to enter the door -> passing through the door is much safer).
Regardless, you're just wearing a wooden mock-up at the moment as the real thing would require anywhere from 528 to 880 ounces of iron to make and also several months of dedicated work that you just don't have.
For other stuff... I'd suggest talking to the Skald.
If we want to get Sigurd and/or Hallbjorn a Skald education with apprenticeship, it would make sense to talk to one beforehand.
Seems a little premature, no? Hallbjorn is at most, like, two or three right now? Unless the guy is willing to stay, but given their line of work (travelling around and finding interesting things they can turn into stores) I doubt he'd stay, unless we give him reason to.

Sending the kids of with them right now? Yeah. That would be completely premature.
But:
The skald could give their general opinions.
The skald could agree to come back in a few yeras when the kids are old enough.\Tell us when their itinerary leads them through here again.

Eh, if we have nothing better to do I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask. But there's no guarantee that they'll return, or even that they'll be alive by the time they're old enough to learn.

for the shopping thats likely to come after the heart thing is settled. we should go look at the things the wandering trader is selling. he could have a rare herb to round out our plants.
