Der var en kølighed i hans stemme, hun ikke kunne ignorere.En: "Freja," he replied shortly. There was a chill in his voice she couldn't ignore.Da: Freja forsøgte at bryde isen.En: Freja tried to break the ice.Da: "Jeg har en gave til dig," sagde hun og rakte pakken mod ham.En: "I have a gift for you," she said, extending the package toward him.Da: Søren tog imod den og pakkede den op.En: Søren accepted it and unwrapped it.Da: Indeni lå en lille udsmykket statuette, en repræsentation af gudinden Athena.En: Inside was a small ornately decorated statuette, a representation of the goddess Athena.Da: "Hun beskytter din by," sagde Freja og håbede, han ville se den kærlighed, hun stadig bar for deres hjem.En: "She protects your city," Freja said, hoping he would see the love she still carried for their home.Da: Men i stedet for at glæde sig, blev Søren strengere.En: But instead of being pleased, Søren became more stern.Da: "Du forlod os. Du forlod alt det, der betyder noget," sagde han og hans stemme rystede let af fortrydelse.En: "You left us. You left behind everything that matters," he said, and his voice trembled slightly with regret.
