OOC- Sorry missed this
The Head Gothi was rather excited, he'd travelled recently to Marseille to visit President Papin, but they were a nation that he knew would be an easy visit, after all the man had fought side by side with the President and his men. Viljandi however was an unknown, even his advisor Birgit Strand knew little about them, but as she kept telling him that was half the fun. Stein Ulfsson watched out the planes window as they passed over the city, it didn't look to dissimilar to somewhere like Krokom, a real mix of old and new buildings and it even looked rather green, he'd have to try and find some time to visit one of the parks, he always enjoyed the summers in one of them in Krokom where he would sit and read one of the saga's or a poetry book.
He had been reading one such saga as the aircraft landed and the old leather bound book was wrapped up carefully in a rune covered cloth and placed in his briefcase. As the battered black briefcase snapped open he spotted his old teachers ID badge still in along with an essay he'd clearly forgot to remove, it was entitled "The use of religious imagery in modern literature." written by a S.Rahmberg, he recognised the students name and instantly his eyes spotted three spelling mistakes in the first line, almost instinctively his hand reached towards his suits breast pocket to remove his red pen for marking. It was gone, replaced with a nice black and gold fountain one his children had brought him for his new job. "Better get this sent back" he smiled as he put it down on the table.
The pair exited their aircraft and made their way through the airport until they were presented with President Anja Goraen and her entourage. "Madam President, May Odin Bless you this wonderful morning. I trust you and your friends are well. This is Birgit, our foreign minister, she's here to make sure I don't mess up too badly." he waited for Birgit Strand to say hello before continuing. "Now it's tradition that we present a host with a gift" he put his briefcase down and removed the cloth covered book. "This is a 300 year old copy of the Grettis Saga. It tells a story of a famous outlaw who becomes one by accident, he defeats a famed warrior in battle and during his feast accidently burns down the mead hall killing his King. He becomes the longest surviving outlaw in our nation, dying in bed of old age at 100 years of age having defeated a dragon the day before. It's full of funny adventures, and advice on how to live ones life in a positive way. It is my daughters favourite bed time story....or was....she's too old for all that now." he handed the book over, its creamy parchment like pages bound by the dark leather. "I hope you get the chance to enjoy it as much as my family has. "
