Not sure if this fits under the Norse mythology tag

[behavesverybadly]

Of course it fits! We'll make it fit. And by "we" I mean "I", as it's clear who will be doing the actual fitting here. Speaking of which, I'm simply not seeing any benefit for me in sticking around your headspace... what was your name again - mundane? Did you choose that yourself? It suits you.

Where was I? Oh, yes-- I'm currently seeing nothing in this for me. Shouldn't your top priority be making me a good offer? Yes, an unlimited supply of food and mead is a start, but I've already got that more or the less in Asgard. How about investing in some servant muses for me?

...Hm. Maybe I could hold auditions here. After you've finished typing this you can start rounding up all able characters in a straight line over there. Chop chop, I haven't got all day.

Signed,

Loki

P.S. It's spelled "charismatic", not "hammy". You're welcome.

OMFG YES

[peridox]

You're not gonna find many "servants" around here, mister.

Omg someone knows about this series

[behavesverybadly]

Nonsense; I've seen plenty of humans around here. Why, you yourself look like a fine example of one, young lady.

Valhalla, baby. c: I've read some English translations and LOVED IT

[peridox]

I'm nobody's servant, you creep.

It's so silly and charming (and then I iconfailed)

[behavesverybadly]

Did I say servant? You misunderstand: what I meant was you're obviously human. No, no, I can see you're far above being a mere servant and I would never dream of suggesting something like that.

It indeedy is (and I pretend I didn't notice the iconfail)

[peridox]

Fine then. [She doesn't believe you. >| ] No need to be smart, by the way.

(Much appreciated, and I'm sorry about it nonetheless) 1/2

[behavesverybadly]

My dear girl, telling me not to be smart is like telling Heimdall not to be a pompous oaf.

[behavesverybadly]

And since we're talking talents anyway, surely you must have some yourself? [Something that could be useful to him in a totally not servant-y way?] It wouldn't do to just talk about myself.

[peridox]

I'm a botanist-I guess that's a talent. I know a lot about plants.

[behavesverybadly]

Plants? Oh, plants are... nice. Pretty and fragrant and all that. [And of absolutely no use to him. Why is it never "professional foot masseuse"?

Oh well, he'll think of something!] Actually, I'm not very good with plants myself. Maybe you could show me a few tricks?

[peridox]

Well, sure! What plant do you want to learn about?

[behavesverybadly]

How about something that's edible? And, uh, preferably tastes nice?

If you've got some seeds on you, maybe we could even plant them right here. Hands-on learning, you know...

[peridox]

Not on me, no. Why would I carry seeds with me?

[behavesverybadly]

Didn't you say you were a botanist? If it's your profession I'd think you'd want to always be prepared.

[ALAS.] Very well, then. What other things are you good at?
