You should find it comforting anyway! The gods watch over everyone, whether you believe or not, or at least they give everyone a guardian to watch over them. They're pretty nice like that.
We call 'em fylgja. [listen to that. beautiful.] They're animals that keep an eye on you ever since you're born, and they're pretty much... your animal face?
[...]
They symbolize you? They're... How do I put it.
[Wow. This is tough. Um.]
They're you if you were an animal? They resemble you. Something like that. Only Mages can really see and have them aid them in magic though, otherwise they're pretty much responsible for your gut insticts and stuff like that! Making sure you don't get into trouble you can't get out of.
We totally did! I mean, I did most of it, but-- you still helped, and you saved my life, I'm pretty sure.
[If that was part of his power like she thinks it might be. She's kind of sheepish too, looking away with a smile.]
So you're an honorary part of my crew, got it? Even if you're not a Viking, you've got it in you, and that means you've got a wolf like me. Even if it's kind of a pup.
[ is this an insult, is this a compliment, is this
this. this is just sigrun. ]
...Sure, okay. [ He doesn't think much of himself being a wolf (neither does he; aren't they supposed to trust others?) but the... the thought is nice. ] Think it'll ever grow up?

Huh. [ ... ] That's nice. If I were a little more religious, I'd find it comforting, I guess.
[ ...a lot has made him a little less religious so maybe not but uh. sentiment, again. ]

Oh, so... [ hmm. ] Yours would be a wolf or... something, then? A social animal that wants to work with others for sure, at least.

[... Probably! Also probably a wolf. Her spiritfriend may be an elk like Thorim for all she knows!
That aside, look at those stars! They're shooting stars. She's happy and excited, obviously.]
Like Fenrir! Except well-trained!

...if he wishes on them, will those come true, or... no, that's just a childish whim, isn't it. ]
That'd suit you. [ Heh. ] Would a fierce and mighty wolf take on a giant elk, Miss Sigrun?

I'm not... [ ......... ] Um... We didn't take him down, really.

Then by all rights, it should be full-grown already, shouldn't it? I am an adult, after all.

But maybe! Like I said, though, noooo idea how it works! Not my area. You'd have to ask a Mage about it.

If I ever meet a Mage from your world, maybe I will.
