As a Viking, Ivar doesn't find the scars off-putting. Interesting, though, certainly.

He looks at it without staring, exactly. Having been on the receiving end of enough stares in his lifetime for the state of his legs, he's a little more self-aware than most.

"I have heard that happens a lot, here." For a guy who clearly can't walk very well and just had to ask for help getting something out of a tree, he looks absurdly excited by the concept. Well, no one has ever accused Ivar of having too much sense.
