[ Athelstan is quiet, standing up again and he's not really sure what to expect from this. It's his nature to be curious and he can't help but keep looking over at Ivar as he transforms. The site is surreal and Athelstan can hardly believe what he's seeing. He wonders if it hurts but if it does it must not be too much or not so much that the pain isn't worth it.
He smiles when Ivar in the dog form lays on the floor. It's a bit of a sad smile. He sits down on the floor beside him. His hand rubbing his head and then setting to petting. ]
You are welcome to anytime, you know that? [ Petting Ivar is calming to Athelstan as well. There's turmoil in his own mind concerning the new information, things he can't really share with Ivar or anyone. He doesn't particularly have anyone here that he could talk to about such things. If King Ecbert were...he thinks that he would understand, perhaps. Other than that, there had always been only Ragnar for so long to confide in. ]
