"Me being stubborn?" Ivar says with an incredulous air. "I'm not the one who thought King Aethelwulf would give in after a single defeat. I'm not sure if that was optimism or just you being naive." Back to the same old argument that had led to their falling-out to begin with.
But there's not much heat to Ivar's words, just the general need to be contrary that follows him around. He's too tired for much fighting right now. "I missed you," he says, long-denied affection in his voice.
