[ Athelstan years ago would have been made nervous by Ivar's choice to toy with a knife. Now, he pays it no mind and keeps his gaze on the young man's face. He can tell that underneath all that anger is pain, pain is probably always been the fuel of Ivar's rage he thinks and the boy clearly had had no shortage of it. ]
Sometimes it is the ones we love the most and that we want to be loved by that we hate the most. He is often selfish and foolish. He has never been good at letting himself acknowledge when he causes pain.
[ There's a moment of hesitation and Athelstan moves to rest a hand on Ivar's shoulder, ready to pull it away if it seems to incense him more. He isn't afraid of Ivar, maybe he should be. ]
May I ask why it angered you so much, this information about Dodger and Ragnar? You don't have to tell me.
