Rik came later to the party, in part because he was carrying one of his smaller harps. The Dane was also private, didn't like too many strangers and had a number of reasons for avoiding but Aarne would never let him hear the end of it. He spread out the blanket by the fire, well back a distance from it because it was hot and too much heat would be bad for the harp. Set down the cushion and pulled the harp out of its cover.
He had a bottle of mead and a glass which he was sipping from. The Dane is getting close to being a world class harpist in his own world, though he's mostly known for playing a 18 string guitar in the public eye. Despite keeping his spiritual practices quiet, this is a celebration and he sings one of the few traditional pieces he's learned while accompanying it on the harp.
Idun’s fair locks fall on his shoulder As she adjusts the strap of his harp, Kisses him as if it were every day, which is Not so false. He is often away, and she tends Hearth and garden, orchard and gate Until he wends his way back home again.

Idun’s fair locks fall on his shoulder
As she adjusts the strap of his harp,
Kisses him as if it were every day, which is
Not so false. He is often away, and she tends
Hearth and garden, orchard and gate
Until he wends his way back home again.
