No. [ Athelstan says instantly, at least he has never seen something like this before. Such concepts hadn't been prevalent in Lindisfarne or the places that Athelstan had traveled.
More than he would like to admit he could imagine there is a truth to it. ]
Christ was able to cast out devils but this is different.
Such a shame. This would make the Christians at home much more interesting.
[He could imagine Heahmund definitely trying to exorcise demons from people, but he was cut from a different sort of cloth for a priest than Athelstan. In any regards, it made them seem a lot more tough than they had before.
Ivar watches the screen intently as the movie continues, the demon possessing the girl in a rather terrifying manner.]
Is that what demons are really like? I've been told the Devil lets them roam around Midgard.
[ The movie definitely puts Athelstan on edge, uncomfortable and yet morbidly curious. If this isn't true he wonders why anyone would make such a thing. It's not that he finds it interesting but that it's like a trainwreck that one can't look away from. ]
[Ivar continues to watch the screen as the exorcism gets underway. The movie has reached an intense point. He waits to see who will win out, the demon possessing the girl or the priests working through God.]
I would like to fight one.
[It seems like it would be a magnificent challenge. Athelstan should really worry about that glint in Ivar's eye. He's wondering if there's a way to summon one to this realm.]
