So! You wish to test your mettle with Asgard's finest? An endeavor I can respect, but the juvenile games you play waste my time. Find me a true challenge and we will be in accord.

You will soon find such a task proves most difficult for them, if you have not already.

[atwar]

No doubt. I've little faith at present.

[warrioress]

A fact that changes not; better to accept it and move forward than wish otherwise. They do little to inspire more.

[atwar]

Why would I waste time wishing thus? You and I are not such women to sit and pine for others to grace us with their favor?

[warrioress]

Nay, but do we not desire adventure above all else? To be denied such a thing is cruel indeed.

[atwar]

Lesser men--and women--have tried to bar our way and failed. These shall be no different.

[trickstering]

I have never known you to back away from a challenge, my lady, little though it may be.

[atwar]

Who's backing away, sorcerer? Not I.

[trickstering]

Why, you. Dismissing it as a "juvenile game."

[mjolnir_time]

And what would you consider a true challenge, Sif?

[atwar]

Would you bend your great intellect to simple arithmetic for a fulfilling diversion?

[warrioress]

You speak truly, though at what cost? It is no easy task to dwell in a place where Asgard is not, where those you love are not.

[atwar]

Something I've not yet experienced that puts to test all the skills at my command.

And you, my prince?

[trickstering]

[a laugh]

Now you flatter me - two surprises in a row. However, you mistake the endeavor entirely. It isn't simple arithmetic at all, but a complicated problem. A battle of wit, if you will, to find who ultimately is more capable of getting their way. Oh, of course they like to pretend that every action is based purely on their own thoughts and desires, but even that has limitations, and correct suggestions sway opinions with great consequences.

[atwar]

Is it from experience you speak?

[mjolnir_time]

I find myself aboard a ship in space these days. It is certainly something I have never experienced before.

I would not say that it tests my skills, except perhaps for the skills of dealing with my brother.

[atwar]

[ she rolls her eyes ]

Everything is flattery to you, if it is not insult or jest, and everything a battle of wit as well.

[atwar]

A thousand years and still mastery of that skill eludes you?

I will offer you a word of advice: when he opens his mouth, simply close your ears and ignore him.

[trickstering]

"Great intellect," is fairly high praise coming from you.

[fotlenke]

Sif! [Wait...] Your hair is black.

[atwar]

Great ego as well.

[trickstering]

Clever.

[atwar]

It has been thus since the centuries of my childhood.

[allfatherissues]

There is one universal trait among these 'mundanes', and it is that they are all quite juvenile. Unavoidable at its best, and frustrating at its worst.

[mjolnir_time]

[sigh.]

You know how he is, Sif.

[Hey, subject change.]

Did I mention that the ship is named after me?
