"I believe Torvi thought I had died," Ubbe said. He was sure there had been a point in that fight where they all thought he had died. He thought he was dying. But Odin had given him the strength to finish.
"I am fine, Ivar. I have seen worse." He has no idea bout the germs thing.
"I wouldn't have blamed her." The mention of Torvi does make him think. He hasn't seen his brother for a long while and has no idea he's married their brother's ex...why is this family so weird? Ivar would definitely be judging him if he knew.
At the insistence, Ivar ignores him, which is pretty much usual for the way things go between them. Ivar does what he wants more often then not. He slides off his bed, crawls the few feet over to Ubbe's, and pulls himself up so that he's propped up on his knees. He studies Ubbe's face intently, frowning a little bit. "I'm not so certain I believe you."
Ivar isn't exactly exempt from the weird completely but Ubbe wouldn't have cared anyway. With Torvi things were different and Bjorn had moved on from her before anything had happened between the two of them so there was nothing particularly untoward about it.
"Careful, I might think you care, Ivar," Ubbe says with a bit of a teasing grin.
He punches Ubbe lightly in the shoulder, making sure he's not about to give his brother another bruise to deal with. "Quiet down, you", he says gruffly "someone has to make sure you don't drop dead." Ubbe has watched out for Ivar his whole life and it's rare that he gets a chance to return the favor.
Ubbe smiles all the same and the punch doesn't bother him all that much. It's affectionate and not particularly hard.
"I am fine, Ivar," Ubbe tries to assure him again. "If I were not I would seek help. I do have a sense of self-preservation," Unlike someone else in this room.
Hey, he resembles that remark! He won't argue the point though. Ubbe won't be dropping dead anytime soon and he'll bodily drag him to a doctor if he takes a turn for the worse.
"Alright." He leans over and rests his forehead against Ubbe's in a sign of affection. Ragnar's brood wasn't much for hugging, but this closeness was something to show they cared about each other. "I'm glad we're not fighting anymore." It's a big thing for Ivar to even admit that much.
Ubbe lets their foreheads rest against one another. It is the equal to them saying 'I love you.' His hand comes to touch Ivar's cheek lightly, the gesture usually reserved for Hvitserk being as he and Ubbe had always been the more affectionate type than Ivar and Sigurd had been.
Ivar doesn't pull away when Ubbe rests his hand against his cheek. "I know, I know," he murmurs. Ivar would never admit that he'd been wrong in what he'd done, but it was clear he wished he'd gone down a different path instead of disowning and fighting against Ubbe.
He eventually goes back over to his own bed. Though the circumstances are far from ideal, being here under the ocean and far from their home, but he's glad to have Ubbe by his side again.
