At home, sometimes I thought that I'd really like to get a break from my family. The town I'm from isn't so great and well a lot of bad things were happening. I got mad at my dad a lot because it felt like I couldn't depend on him or any adult to care or help with the things that were happening. We ended up not needing the adults but it sucked.

I guess, it wasn't perfect at home but now that I'm here and my family isn't I really miss them. I wouldn't think I could miss them this bad. I miss going to the Synagogue and my dad making me study Hebrew. I always thought it was really annoying and boring.

Do you miss anything that you don't have here that you didn't think you could ever miss?

Is there anything that helps?

And what about fish? They cannot be grown on farms or ranches.

[He smiled softly. Little did he know that they actually did have fish farms and massive boats that could harvest more fish in a week than Kattegat probably went through in a year

Ragnar continued to smile, gaze moving from the lighter to Stan, waiting a moment. From Stan's expression, he was expecting a question, but it never came, so he went back to the fish.

By the time Stan had a nice little pile of wood, Ragnar was done with the fish and had been done for a minute or two. So, by the time that he was, once again, inspecting the lighter, Ragnar was leaning back, watching silently.]

Have you used one before? We do not have such a tool where I am from. I can show you, if you would like.

They can but there are also fishermen who go out on fishing boats and bring back a lot of fish.

[ Stan says. He wishes he knew more specifics to tell Ragnar but he's not paid that much attention and fishing hadn't really been one of his favorite things to do and he actually didn't like eating fish that much at home but he wouldn't complain. ]

No, I've seen some before but I've only had matches. [ Stan explains and even then, that wasn't that often. He offers the lighter back to Ragnar so he can show him how to use it. ]

My dad wouldn't have wanted me to know how, probably.
