Sinric woke at dawn, as he had most of his life. He sat and watched the sun rise over Ribe. From the beach, he looked back at the little trade port as the sun crested the carved figureheads on the rooftops.
Hung-over and feeling more than a little sick, he felt... happier in his own way. A night of tears and a morning of introspection had helped.
He had said more to Ragnar last night, more than he should have. But Ragnar’s trust in the gods, in oracles and seers would cover that. It would be many years before Ragnar found the bar and years more before Ragnar would find him in the bar.
For Ragnar, it would be a beginning but for Sinric it was an end.
Just as it had been with Constantine, just as it had been it Yan. And Egrit, and Olaf, and Saga, and all his other lovers.
It was time to move on.
Tonight he would give Ragnar the water compass. Tonight he would sing his last songs for Ribe and in the morning sail with the first tide, or slip away and walk until his feet brought him to another place. His task in life was complete. What was left - belonged to him.
***
That night the tavern is a riot. Heavy drinking and boisterous singing. Knowing this will be his last night in this place, his last night as the person he has been since Ragnar foretold his future all those years ago, Sinric is determined to go out in style.
A Viking believes he lives while his reputation is remembered so Sinric plans to leave everyone here with memories enough for a lifetime.
He is standing on the table as Ragnar comes in, leading the perfect sing-along song for this sort of night. A drinking song that’s lewd, playful and makes everyone want to join in. The music is infectious, making even the most taciturn smile or tap their feet.
He’s in his element, the centre of a swirling cacophony of upraised voices and joy. But if anyone is watching closely, they'll see that for all the horn in his hand and his playful silliness, Sinric isn't drinking. Every time someone fills his cup, he manages to palm it off to someone else.

He presses the slick head of the phallus inside Ragnar, slow and gentle. The shallow carvings, smooth edged and patterned add an extra layer to the sensation and he teases the tip in and out slowly.

Date: 2016-02-17 09:51 am (UTC)He closes his eyes at the jade warms, his own little prick inside it like a cave. The feel of it - the smooth flanges at the base that sit against his skin, the pressure as he takes Ragnar inch by careful inch. He makes it part of himself, his manhood of dragon-sperm, letting himself slip into the imagined pleasure of being endowed so. He moves his hands to Ragnar's hips, caressing Ragnar's stones once more as he begins to thrust slowly.

He is hard, very hard, and his stones are tight; but that is not where the pleasure is radiating out from, this time. No, that is inside him, a fire that flares at each movement of the magic within him.

Date: 2016-02-17 08:03 pm (UTC)He has waited too long to make love to Ragnar like this.
He kisses the side of Ragnar's neck, whispering endearments in every tongue he can think of bar Ragnar's own, soft and insistent and warm.

Date: 2016-02-17 11:15 pm (UTC)He feels encompassed, safe, even loved -- so very different from what he expected of this night.

Date: 2016-02-18 09:05 am (UTC)Sinric has a knack for this after long practice with Prince Saga. Knowing just how deep to thrust the bring pleasure without pushing too far.

Date: 2016-02-18 08:34 pm (UTC)But that would be almost cruel for Ragnar's first time feeling such pleasure. But Sinric does linger over it for a while, pressing kisses to Ragnar's skin and shifting his thrusts to bring Ragnar different feelings of pleasure.

Date: 2016-02-18 09:46 pm (UTC)He holds Ragnar close in the aftermath too, carefully withdrawing the jade and setting it aside so he may hold Ragnar more comfortably.

Date: 2016-02-18 10:05 pm (UTC)He just makes a sound of satisfaction and contentment that seems almost, but not quite, like a purr.
