Teaching Bryn to Fish
---Seven months earlier---
"Didn' ye ever learn from yer father?"
Perhaps it was Aiden's death that caused Ryheric to be hard towards Bryn up until that point. Another peer of similar age. A man who could be like a brother. But Bryn was so much more sheltered, more fragile. It bought an easy, instinctive resentment from Ryheric to whom grief was foreign even as it ate at him deep down.
Bryn shook his head, so Ryheric took him to the nearby dock and showed him. Every step demonstrated without words, until Bryn had caught his own fish, prepared it, and they had both eaten the hearty meal together.
