"I suppose it depends on how you want to define a Viking," Loki said, with an easy smile. "That's generally what we seem to be called, though I'm certainly no warrior and have never personally gone a-viking. I'm a scholar by profession."

Loki's eyebrow went up as he observed her expression, which was oddly apologetic. "I would imagine he would keep to himself. I suppose I'll have plenty of time to deserve what nastiness he might spout on his own in the evenings." He snorted quietly. "It just seems odd, that he's supposedly in charge of this place and no one seems to know a bloody thing about him." Though he did have to wonder if she meant can't or can't, and was hoping she'd provide a little clarification in her next statements.

Because the latter would certainly be a new and interesting wrinkle to the game.
