He reels back slightly in his bed for a moment as the huge man unleashes his wrath upon him.<br/><br/>He carefully pulls himself up off the bed, then drops to his knees, his eyes fixed firmly on the floor, not daring to make eye contact.<br/><br/>"You're right... you're completely and utterly right. I've lived my entire life in this temple, cared for and looked after by far better men than me, and I have abused the trust and care they have shown me, by letting myself become arrogant and bitter, fuelled by nothing more than anger."<br/><br/>"I... I've let you all down. I've let mary.." Oh gods, mary.<br/>He looks over at the unconscious child, and scrambles on his knees to her bedside.<br/><br/>Tears stream down his face as he speaks "Little one... I'm so sorry. My misguided anger has put you in harms way, I... I've failed you. I've failed everyone."<br/><br/>He turns his head to the others, his face red with tears as he speaks.<br/><br/>"I'm so sorry. I know I don't deserve any pity, but I swear... should you allow me to redeem myself. I swear this will never happen again. Please just... give me the chance to make this right. I swear I will never allow myself to be swallowed by anger again."<br/><br/>"Arngeirr, I fear you may never forgive me for the damnable stupidity I have shown, but please... please let me try and make this right."<br/><br/>His body sags slightly, his eyes once again returning to the floor.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry."
