voicetesting and also re: talking about him in asgard :'| might be spoilers in comments

[kidder]

I've not got time nor desire to trap myself on a sad chunk’a land, corralled into domesticity, and goin’ trapsin' about through trees with Kenway's gran'kid, lass.

Though, must say, may be all worth it in entertainment if I’m to see old granddad 'imself adapting to parental life. Be nice to see him made responsible for more than a bottle of rum for a change.

[ Ears perk on a certain name, and hello, Desmond is interested. ]

What Kenway would that be, by chance?

[kidder]

Goes by the name Edward most days. [ when he's not pretending to be assassin traitors and ruining everything ever ] You know many Kenways, lad?

[familyissues]

[ oshit]

A couple of them. Making his way to Asgard, by chance?

[kidder]

Not a terribly common name, is it? [ a noncommital shrug here ] That's the rumor, at least. Can never be too certain where that one'll end up, though.

[familyissues]

[ Huh, that's something to chew on... he starts a bit then, offering a hand, ]

Sorry, I, ah, don't mean to pry. I'm Desmond.

[kidder]

Not my business you're pryin' into, so's no offense done to me. [ she'll go ahead and shake the offered hand, but we're still hooked on to something interesting here - ] James. Which Kenways is it you know?

[familyissues]

[ Not easily dissuaded, he sees. Right then, here goes- ]

Haytham and Connor.

[kidder]

[ welp, if it's not edward, maybe we found the grandbaby ]

Can't say I've met 'em. Would one be the tree hoppin' one carrying on ol' granddad's legacy, by any chance?

[1066]

[ more living history yay

more people to correct on their inability to live out his expectations as historical personas oh joy ]

'Sad chunk of land' is certainly one way to put it. Domesticity, on the other hand, oh no no no no no, you have that all wrong, really. Frustrating, historically inaccurate, teaming with stupidity, yes, but domestic? Heavens no.

...sorry, did you say Kenway?

[kidder]

[ her eyebrows are just very slowly raising while all that speech is going on. wow. there's a quirk to her lips and a slight laugh in her tone ]

You're an excitable one. City livin's a far enough step towards domestic than I'm really willing to take.

[ wow when did edward get likeable enough to have more than like three friends ]

That I did.

[pushesgently]

You're a sailor, then?

[There's another option besides land and sea, but what the hell does he know about planes.]

[kidder]

[ its cool bro she's a lost there are you ]

In the simplest terms, aye. Your Asgard's not too abundant in the way of open seas, I hear.

[pushesgently]

Not at all. Though it does offer quite a few exciting new experiences. Not all good, of course.

jdfklsa holy typos, sorry. *as lost there as you

[kidder]

Would be boring if it were all good. No excitement in security and all that.

I knew what you meant!

[pushesgently]

Perhaps, but in my experience, excitement that does not come from the wrath of those who claim to be gods is preferable.

jgfklds oh good ;;

[kidder]

Unless it's involing overthrowin' those claiming to be gods, no, I'd s'pose not.

[pushesgently]

Sometimes, though not every god has proven themselves to be unworthy of their power. [Which isn't to say that he'd make friends with any of them.]

[kidder]

Not sure there's many worthy of a right to control other's lives. [ liberty and all that. she's not a big fan of anyone having much power over others, let alone godlike power ]

[pushesgently]

Some are content to let mortals live their lives as they see fit, without intervention. Strange, for those who claim to be deities, but I can't find fault with the choice.

[kidder]

Without intervention, aside from snatchin' 'em up and droppin' them into a war.

[pushesgently]

It's not an action I approve of. But under the circumstances, I save my anger for those gods who harm innocents.

[kidder]

Lesser of two evils, aye. S'pose I can reconcile with that. And how well's your anger served you there?

[pushesgently]

Sometimes better than others. The gods are very...resilient.

[One took a tomahawk to the face.]

[sicarius]

Kenway?

[Hello, that's a familiar name.]

If you are wondering if he has shown any care for his son, I've yet to see it.

[Lol he's assuming James means Haytham.]

[kidder]

[ o...kay, that's different in the line of all edward's new fans. there's a raise of eyebrows here that's slightly incredulous ]

Wasn't a son to be cared for, last I checked.

[sicarius]

[That... gets an eyebrow raise in return. And a bit of surprise.]

Somehow I am not surprised, messere Haytham does not seem to show much outside his usual pompous air he carries with him.

[kidder]

[ ah the other one mentioned a haytham earlier ]

That's unfortunate for them's that associate with messere Haytham, but I'm doubtin' it's got much to do with Edward Kenway.

[sicarius]

...There is an Edward as well?

[There's the look of surprise. Really, Kidd, he's just as dumb as Edward can be.]

[kidder]

[ vague lift of eyebrows ]

'M sure there's a great many of 'em. Had to've come from somewhere, didn't they?

[mayamentor]

Captain Kenway deprived of his ship and crew and forced to act the part of a father... It is difficult to imagine. [Difficult but not terribly unpleasant!]

[kidder]

[ she'll be sitting back with some popcorn to watch tbh ] Apparently he managed well enough there's another generation after that. Fancy that. Little line'a Kenways terrorizin' the world.

[mayamentor]

Perhaps he was not involved in their upbringing. [A guy can hope. Power of sensible mother figures and all that.]

[kidder]

Could be. I did hear there was a wife involved at some point, but happy marriages and piracy don't typically go hand in hand.

[neverlady]

[Grandson? Well, that's news to her.]

You talking about our Kenway? Last I heard he had a young girl.

[But things are strange in places such as these.]

[kidder]

Did 'e now? Either that one or another he had pop out made him an ol' granddad.

[ she is really way too amused by this ]

Our Kenway with little ones bouncin' on his knee. Sure don't sound like him, does it?

[neverlady]

I'd say it's a good thing. The man could do with some settlin' down and he'd figure out the parental side of it all soon enough.

[kidder]

Many already spending most their life land locked don't figure out the parental side a' things in any good time. [ said with a laugh, though, before she shrugs ] He's a quick one, though, Kenway. He'll manage it.

[iniquitas]

[Attempt to act nonchalant about all this is mostly successful!]

Edward Kenway is coming to Asgard, then?

[kidder]

[ damn he must have gotten famous or something while she wasn't looking for all these people to know the name ]

So's the rumor. I take it you're acquainted?
