[ The simple matter of the fact is this. Ragnar has never seen a train in his life. He's never seen a pocketwatch. He's never seen any of these technology things.

What he has seen is a new place with a lot of stuff and what appears to be a lot of people. As he takes out the watch, he presses a button to turn it on on accident--the feed is spinning slowly as the watch spins, and a pair of intelligent blue eyes are staring back into the video. ]

What is this?

[ It's certainly not Denmark. It does look like it's full of riches. ]

Well if you are going to leave your treasures, they are mine to take back home. [ CASUALLY GOING TO RIP UP THE TRAIN TRACKS. ]

[Well. That was certainly... new? Petyr took his perch not too close, or too far, but watching with keen interest and perhaps amusement. A strong man happened to be quite important if one can snare one as an ally.]

If you don't mind, sir, I think there is a slight problem with your line of thinking- noble as it may be.

[Slight hesitation, offering a friendly smile.]

I mean that in the kindest way, of course.

[ Well hello there. Ragnar's surprised at the least at the man's ability to understand him, but turns towards him, mouth turned up in a grin, expression somewhat curious.]

Are you a resident of this place?

[ Answer carefully. ]

[He spread his hands out in front of him, either to show he was unarmed or perhaps to show he shared the same problem. Either way he heaves a calculated sigh and shakes his head.]

I'm afraid our problems are one and the same, stranger. I have been taken from my home land, such as you. Brought here by that machine. Tearing up it's path, however, may prove to be a... grave mistake, if you understand me- what brought us here may be able to take us back, you see?

[Humbly he bows his head in greeting, another friendly smile in place.]

My name is Petyr Baelish, and who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?

[ Lucky for you, Petyr, Ragnar is not oh, Rollo. He drops from the train tracks and walks up to him, regarding his gaze. He doesn't appear to be a threat...but he doesn't appear to have any treasure on him, either.

He's more interested in the information the man is giving, however. ]

Ragnar Lodbrok. [ He tilts his head, minutely. ] I have been been brought from my home, yes. This place is not of the west, is it? [Somewhere new.]

Well met, sir. [Offering another nod of respect before he shifts to fold his hands behind his back, straightening his posture.]

Regrettably I am at a loss. I consider myself quite knowledgeable concerning where I come from, but according to the few people I've spoken to... this is a land unlike mine... or yours. Whether west, east, north or south... it does not matter.

[A slight tug of his lips, a brief smirk; to think he would ever say such things and actually mean it.]

I hear talk of captors, however. Those who brought us here.

[ These technological wonders are far beyond your run of the mill viking's wildest dreams-- unless, of course, you are Floki-- but the Lodbrok family does not shy away from the strange. As was evident in Ragnar's determination to find new lands for them to plunder and explore.

Still, she's not exactly enthused to be taken from her home against her will, as she believes this to be. Hearing a familiar voice is, at least, consoling in a way.

That leaves their children with their monk, and he's shown that he can handle that. Her husband, on the other hand, should not be left to do things on his own like this. ]

Ragnar!

[ OH LOOK IT'S HIS WIFE. Ragnar's immediately relieved--although he could imagine that she was safe at home when he'd been dropped off somewhere like this--but it's good t see Lagertha here. The children must be at home with ~~the nanny~~ the monk.

He approaches her cheerfully, his shield over his shoulder.]

Perhaps I drank too much mead last night at the party. Have we gone on an adventure without my knowing, Lagertha?

[ Lagertha gives him a dry, yet fondly amused, look in response to that, carrying her own shield on-hand. She does not trust this place, and it's a heavy, familiar weight that she knows will not let her down if something attacks her in this strange place.

Reaching her hand up, she pats his cheek like one would sympathetically a child. There, there, husband. They will find out where they are together, and return with riches to their children and monk. ]

If so, it is as much without my knowing as it is yours.
