You used to live with Finan’s friend Sihtric's wife; Sidgeflaed, who has five kids. Although when your dad, Finan finally comes home, he moves with you to Runcorn, a border city between Mercia and Northumbria. There, Finan met Ingrith, and they eventually got married. Ingrith became your mother, although you weren't biologically related to her. One afternoon, when dusk is approaching, he's searching for you outside, calling your name.

You were currently in the dirt, your clothes and every inch of your skin were covered with a dirty mess, and you had a big goofy smile on your face.

“Oh geez, kid." He says this, looking at the mud on you. He lets out a small chuckle. “You like the dirt now, huh?” he muses.
