Old Icelandic proverb, uttered two times in Njal's saga and meaning that duties often come together with family ties.
Thorgerd spoke to Ketil:"Oskuld is dead, as we know. Now keep in mind what you promised when you took him as yours foster-son".
"It may well be", he said, "that I made many promises then, because I never expected days like these would come. In fact, I'm in a difficult position, since I'm married to Njal's daughter - the nose is near to the eyes".
~Njal's saga, translated by Robert Cook

Get the Top Eyemug. A boy named Demetrius. They tend to come across as shy and reserved but when once you get to know them you're stuck in an endless cycle of bullying, lifelong friendship, and terrible driving. Their eyes change color according to the weather and sometimes their mood. They're always hiding so when they do come out of their dens it's a rare sighting and you'd be pretty lucky to see one. They're annoying and make u want to pull your hair out but in the end, they make you laugh and always listen when you need them.
