Ivar's eyes drop down and his face falls as Ruby mentions Aslaug. Even now, the pain of missing his mother will creep up and sting him in the heart when he's least expecting it. Even Ruby's company can't soothe that entirely from his mind.
"Then that is a day I will gladly look forward to," Ivar says with all earnestness. He really would love to see Ruby tearing through his enemies as though they are made of wet paper.
"Someday, when I am ready, we shall." He's not quite there yet, still coming into his own in terms of his fighting ability and strategic analysis. But someday sooner rather than later he will be and then....well, then the world will be their's for the taking.
Running a hand through Ivar's hair, Ruby presses a soft kiss to his head and sighs. She knows exactly what it does to him, to think of his mother but she also knows that she's the only one who can speak of her true feelings towards her youngest son.
"One day soon, I promise.
"You'll be ready before you know it, Ivar. You've come so far, so quickly."
He leans into the touch of Ruby as she kisses him. So few people show him kindness these days. Ivar appreciates the moments when someone shows him love or a soft nature to him since both of them are so rare in his life.
"The moment I think I am ready for it, I will tell you. Then we shall wage a war on the whole world." A very unhinged.
With another soft smile, Ruby pours them both another drink and reclaims her chair, crossing her legs and leaning back, beaming with pride.
"You will be ready before you even know it, my darling boy. And then we'll take this world by storm. Show them the true might of Ivar the Boneless, son of Ragnar Lothbrok."
