Are there really no simple social rules in the future that people do still follow?

I don't know. I don't pay much attention to them.

[ Mainly because of geographical location. Besides, he's mostly minding his own business. It runs in the family, okay. So many things changed it's scary. ]

You don't pay much attention at all, do you?

[ That is an insult. Have some sarcasm. ]

...I'd take that as a compliment, thank you very much. Maybe I should try to defend myself by saying that their houses was rather far from mine, and we rarely speak even in world meetings.

I guess you're really far away. But you're independent from Norway now, from what I've heard?

[Voice]

Not that far, but everyone said so. [ Lalalalala at least not being in the same land as those crazy nations. Same continent but not the same land, yessssss. ] Of course. And Denmark too. It's been sixty-two years or so. Should be sixty-three this year.

Well, we could never talk to you, Norway would forbid us. [Not that they would have been interested. Sure, some of their people - especially those in the Hanse - were very interested in buying Iceland's dried cod and selling alcohol and other goods in return, but not the nations themselves. While of interest for merchants, there was no meaning for everyone else.] So I guess it's not your fault... Why Denmark? Did the union go that far?

It's probably for the best. I was still a kid by that time.

[ He wouldn't be interested as well and it's not like he would understand, he was still a babby okay. Broski Norway knows best. ]

Yes and no. It was because of...the Black Death, if I remembered correctly. It extinguished Norway's royal line and it forced us to join the Union.

His nobility agreed to that?

The only ones remaining, yes.
