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.
