[Shouldn't you

be

like

a snake?]

[ are you complaining, sleipnir? because a snake that big could swallow you whole. 8| ]

[What is with you guys being so nasty???

He's the sheltered one, okay. You all get to be thrown around and stuff and eat your tails and rip off arms and blah blah blah, and he's really okay with that. Just because Huginn and Muninn are with him often doesn't mean they fill him in like they fill in Odin, okay. There is no TV in the stables of Asgard.

And even if there were, it'd be, like, the Weather Channel on repeat. Odin would tell him to watch it so he'd know if he needed to wear a slicker or something. You guys have all the fun, clearly.

He glances, tossing his head slightly. He's still not used to talking, okay, it's so bizarre to have to, so give him a few minutes to think of something to say besides HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?]

[ jor isn't nasty, okay, he's just always hungry. >: but sleipnir is a half-sibling and kind of weird just like he and fenrir and hel, so that makes him okay in jor's book.

as usual, because he's never been around people until recently, there's no actual expression on his face, but his fingers twitch, and he reaches up, touching them to sleipnir's nose. there aren't any horses in the ocean, after all. ]

.. Brother.

[If Odin was here, horse-brother would be completely uncertain of what to do, since usually those who touched him were allowed in by the Allfather. Not really a pet, but...kind of kept like one?

He pulls back slightly at the unexpected touch, only to push back into those fingers, whinnying lowly.

I have never gotten to properly see you before.]

[ jor jerks back in surprise at the push of sleipnir's head, but then he eases close again, smoothing his palm up his brother's brow. ]

I.. live on M-Midgard. Allfa-- All.. father.. probably expected me to-- Die? To die.

[He makes another sound, this one of contentment at the touch of the family member that should be snake. His eyelids close halfway, giving him a rather drowsy look.

Why would he expect that?]

.. I was.. a ba-- baby? An.. infant. When I was.. discarded.

[A snort, confused this time. Incapable of understanding. Discarded? Why would he do that? It was Loki who discarded him to Odin, it was Odin who took him in and raised him and trained him. How could his rider do that when he'd taken in Sleipnir himself?

Where was your father and my mother?]

.. I.. do not know. [ a hesitant pat to sleipnir's nose. ] Fenrir and.. Hel and I.. were-- were-- unwa..nted? Unwanted. Unneeded.

[Why have all his half-siblings gotten such a terrible shaft in life while he's been fed and pampered and told nothing but sweet things?

This is all news to him, all horrifying, he can't even begin to understand it...

I will talk to the Great God about this. You will not be unwanted any longer.]

[ a stiff, half-panicked shake of his head, his other hand clutching at sleipnir's mane, yellow-green eyes wide in his face. ]

N-No. No. No, no, no, n-no, bro-- brother.

[The hand in his mane lets him know immediately that something in what he said was wrong, although he doesn't immediately know what. He extends his muzzle to move against his half-brother's cheek, shoulder, ruffle his hair.

Why not? I am sure he would listen.]

[ another stiff shake of his head, holding carefully still for the nose against his hair, blinking in something like surprise at the gesture. ]

We.. are bad. Allf-father says.

[LET HIM LOVE YOU

In his...horse way

He has never told me anything like that. When did he say these terrible things to you?

WHY DOES NO ONE TELL HIM ANYTHING]

Share with the class, Jör.

[ Not that Fenrir is particularly good at that himself, but nevermind... ]

A.. place. [ a puzzled blink, because unfortunately, that's all jor knows to say. he sucks at this talking thing. ] We could.. all go there.

Oh yeah? [ Still a wolf ~~because I haven't renewed his account yet~~, Fenrir sidles closer, nudging his brother's leg. ] Tell me about it.

[ he slinks down, curling his arms around fenrir's neck-- mostly for the warmth. ]

It's.. a place. Like Midgard. [ a pause, blinking, brows drawing together slightly. ] .. After.. Ragnarok?

[ He doesn't mind, shifting slightly to nuzzle him a bit more. ]

Huh. That's... huh. [ He's not too sure how he feels about it being like Midgard after Ragnarok, but... ] Could be interesting.

B-- Better than separation. I think. Quiet. Maybe.. Maybe we won't.. be monsters there.

[ after a moment, he remembers that fenrir likes being patted, so his hands slide up to rub at his older brother's ears. ]

There's a.. a version of.. Father there. Different. He.. wanted us.

It won't matter if we are.

[ There's a growl in his voice, protective instincts flaring. If they -- whoever 'they' are -- think his siblings are monsters, he'll protect them. Then his brother rubs at his ears, however, and his growl eases out into a bit of a snuffle at Jor's chest. ]

That'd be a nice change.

[ he twitches at the snuffle, relaxing slowly against fenrir as his fingers move. ]

Y-Yes. I.. would like to.. know Father.

[ Careful not to disturb him, the wolf shifts slightly, trying to curl around his brother. ]

Yeah. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

[ he shifts to let him, eyelids drooping slightly as he soaks up fenrir's body-heat. ]

That-- That Father. There. He.. might l-love us.

[He stares quietly for a long time.]

Are you sure it is not just another prison?

[ oh. he thinks this is probably strange. ]

Pri-- [ prison. w a i t. he has to think about this. ] .. A better.. prison.

[His eyes narrow.]

But still a prison.

All places are.

[He tilts his head, considering this.

Self, you have a point.

It's true, the sun is nice.

The sky is nice.

But he will never admit this.

Not even to himself.]

It doesn't matter.

No. Any place.. would be-- would.. be the same. But. Places.. together.. with Fenrir and Hel.. And. N-No Allfather.

[Yes, that would be... acceptable.

It probably would make Mayfield... better. Having Loki there hadn't helped much but that was probably because Thor and Baldr were there at the same time.

He nods slightly.]

[Consider Hel's interest peaked.]

What place?

[ oh crap, he has to find words again. give him a minute, hel. ]

Like.. Midgard. After-- After.. Ragnarok. But.. other.. people? Will. [ wait no now he's confusing himself. here, have a helpless glance. ] Other.. people. There.

Are you not constantly warm? [She's not being smart. She's concerned.]

.. Warm? [ a heavy shake of his head, as if he's still in his serpentine body. he can't get accustomed to a shape like this. ] Waters are.. cold. I-- [ a pause, struggling to sort out what he wants to say, before giving up and patting at himself to illustrate his cold skin. ]

[Sigyn clasps her hands together near her heart, a sullen look coming over her features.] That's no state for a boy to be in. Come here, I-- [She pushes back her cloak, putting out her hands.] Let me cast a nice warming spell. If you'd like, that is.

[ somehow, despite his apparent inability to create proper facial expressions, he still gives off the impression of being suspicious at the offer. given how much asgardians hate and fear he and his siblings, though, it's probably no wonder. ]

I.. am. M-Monster. [ a reminder, because he's been told what he is so often that it's one of the basic truths of his understanding. ]

[Fear not, Jory! For Sigyn is Vanir, and she's got as much suspicion of Asgardians as you. Maybe more so. She shakes her head at his thought of being a monster.]

You are not a monster. You are a beautiful boy, so unique and lovely.

[ he looks extremely overwhelmed by this notion, fingers twitching slightly at his sides, swaying faintly as if he's only just barely holding onto this shape. ]

.. But-- [ his brows draw together faintly. ] .. We were.. thrown away.

[ Deimos tries to stay aloof, after all it's been a while since he last saw Jormungand, and that was under somewhat ..strange circumstances. ]

Ohh? So your minder's going to send you somewhere? [ not those boring mortal minders, the bigger ones outside the world. ]
