Season 1
Floki is visited by Ragnar, Floki jumps out from behind a tree wearing a mask and scares Björn then proceeds to laugh hysterically. Floki is introduced to a young Björn. He analyses Björn and tells Ragnar that he has his eyes, which is unfortunate. Floki tells Ragnar it is unfortunate because it means he will want to be like Ragnar and therefore want to do better than him. Floki tells Björn that he can read trees just like he can read peoples faces. He tells Björn that he knows what trees have the best wood for boats. After Björn doubts Floki he approaches Björn close to his face and whispers "I joke about many things, son of Ragnar, but never about ship-building." Floki proceeds to show Ragnar and Björn the boat, he explains how it will be lighter and carry a bigger sail and that the construction of this boat is different to others. It has a strong central plank and many other features, meaning that the boat won't "Butt against the waves like a goat. But move over them like a ripple." after Ragnar asks if Floki thinks it can handle long sea voyages, Floki chuckles and states "That's why i'm building it." Ragnar also wonders if it will be strong enough to which Floki explains that they won't be sure until they try it.

While watching Ragnar inspect the boat, he goes to say something, Floki says "There is no need, I see it in your eyes." To which Ragnar leans down from the boat and whispers to Floki, "Beautiful." Floki gets a drift of self doubt saying "It's only beautiful if it works." While testing the boat Ragnar tells Floki to set the sail, Floki still filled with self doubt says that it will sink, though with reassurance from Ragnar, Floki continues to bash himself over how he never should of tried to think he could build such a boat. Floki apologies' to Ragnar about wasting his money. The boat continues moving, Floki stands up in joy and excitedly says "It's beautiful! Why didn't you believe me? I told you I could do it!"
