So I have been reading Ghosts of Ascalon...and there is a pretty funny Norn, Gullik Oddson, providing comic relief, at least in my eyes, and i'd like to share some of them with you:
Dougal glanced around, and his eyes fell on Gullik.
He pointed at the norn’s axe and said, “Give me that.”
“You’re as mad as Raven,” said Gullik. “No warrior
gives up his weapon until the fight is finished.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You idiot!” Ember screamed at the norn as she
threw herself to her feet. “I only win the argument if I
kill him.”
Gullik gave her a wide and toothy grin. “Then I
suppose that means the winner is me.” He pointed at
the rest of the charr. “Off with the lot of you, now, or
I’ll win arguments with each of you, too!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*after someone dodges his swing and his axe lands in a bedpost*
The norn snarled in frustration. “By the Bear!” he
said in a booming, slightly slurred voice. “If you refuse
to release my axe, you damned bedpost, then you will
pay!”
Then he put the bedpost
on the ground and stood on it while he tried to pull his
weapon from it with both hands. The force of his initial
blow had jammed it tight. “Damnation,” he said with an
amused grunt. “I need to learn what kind of wood this is
and make me a suit of armor from it.” Then he laughed
at the concept.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Wolf’s teeth!” said Gullik, softly. “A charr allowing
a human to put her in chains? I must still be dreaming.”
“I have my orders.” Ember growled out her words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“If this fails to work, the Ebon
Vanguard will hang me as a spy,” she said,. “But before
I go, I’ll kill anyone responsible for causing that failure.
This I promise.”
“She’s touchy,” Gullik said to Dougal. “But still as
regal as a lioness. I think I like her!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's it for now...I'll be adding more as i come across them....it seems every time he speaks i chuckle out loud. lol
