"Me? Nothing, what should I have listened to? I only heard the last sentence... I have good hearing, I didn't do it on purpose. Do you want to become a Shieldmaiden too?" he asked, leaving the heavy bucket filled with water next to the front door.

"Uhm... Yes. I'd like Freydis to teach me how to do it." 

"Well! I agree! It is always better to be able to defend ourselves with your own strength on this planet, where everyone tries to achieve their goals through arrogance and deceit!
