Come on, Sig, prove your worth! Don't immediately give up like a coward, and at least try to fight for your love!
Although granted, there never really was love between you two. Maybe go with the pretext to try to show Gudrid she's wrong and that you're a real man, by hanging with Thorfinn & co.? Who knows who you'll meet along the way ... 😘
Going back home like a beaten dog isn't an option either, after all.
