[ Though smartphones haven't yet been invented in Brianna's time, she's quickly caught on to using this technology, impressed with the usefulness inherent in it. It's an easy way to communicate, keep in touch, and even to get to know other people. Having observed quite the spectrum of messages being exchanged over the network, she decides it might be fun, perhaps, to offer the chance to play a game. ]

I'm Brianna Randall, for those of you I haven't met yet. Many of you still, in fact. Which leads me to the reason for this post.

If anyone's interested in a fun little game of sorts, on the subject of psychology, I'll ask you a few questions and you respond when and if you feel like it. Traditionally, we would do this together at a dinner party, but it can still work like this.

[ She has no idea how many people might actually be interested, but it's always been a nice way to get to know others, at least. ]

Picture whatever comes to mind first when I ask you. Closing your eyes is optional, of course, but adds to the experience. [ She smiles a little, in her element. Things might not have been easy mentally for her when she'd first arrived, but she's settling in as well as anyone could. ]

I want you to imagine that you're in a forest with someone. Picture the person you're with. [ She'll pause here for a count of three seconds before continuing. ] You encounter an animal. Now, I want you to imagine that you reach a clearing.

When you're ready, tell me what you saw and who you were with, and I'll tell you what each answer represents. Symbolically speaking, of course.

[There's a reason his brother was named for the animal, he supposes, for Bjorn does represent a lot of those things. Also, he's about the size of one as well. Putting the two images together for the interpretation and his eyes grow a little wide. He hadn't been expecting to hear something that would hit so close to home.]

....That is a scarily accurate interpretation. The second one, I mean, at least when he was still alive.

[Ragnar had groomed Ivar to be worthy of carrying on his legacy, perhaps to a manipulative degree, but being sincere with his affection towards his son nonetheless. Ivar had sought to be worthy of his father, showing that he could indeed be the one to lead their people.]
