Alfred stops short at the touch, his pulse picking up and his skin heating at the contact, the affects that Ivar has on him can be infuriating at times. It's hard to think of an argument when Ivar's points are so clear and rather difficult to argue with. He doesn't pull away, though, even if he still isn't quite looking at the Viking. The fact that there's nothing he can say to sway Ivar makes him feel a little sullen.
"It bothers me. There are always more battles, must this be one you have to fight?" Alfred's more angry responses had slipped into a more pleading tone. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you."
He does finally look at Ivar and there's a conflict on his face. It's a tormented idea when he thinks of it too long, because eventually would they not end up pitted against one another?
