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

i guess i really need to read that norse myth book i got a billion years ago

[spiderhorse]

[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?]

LMAO well i guess it couldn't hurt??

[worldserpent]

[ 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.

o7

[spiderhorse]

[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.]

[worldserpent]

[ 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.

[spiderhorse]

[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?]

[worldserpent]

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

[spiderhorse]

[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?]

[worldserpent]

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

[spiderhorse]

[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.]

[worldserpent]

[ 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.

[spiderhorse]

[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.]

[worldserpent]

[ 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.

[spiderhorse]

[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]
