Odin's eye, we're considering a game

[flaerd]

Dear Mun,

I admire your ambitions but let's be serious, shall we?

You are still insecure, and haven't you other priorities? What, with that recent personal problem I suspect your attention should be more elsewhere. I only show concern.

Besides, I've plans of my own.
You know it.

So in essence, I do thank you for your considerations but please let's focus on more fruitful and purposed endeavors.


Sincerely,
Loki.

Tell me. [ Shall they sit for this one? ]

[odinsdottir]

I am not meant to exist in these fleeting worlds, all without memory of one another.

[ Brief 'meme' diversions? Drunken encounters, disastrous parties -- these are not enough. She wants someone to protect. She needs a purpose. ]

[flaerd]

A common trouble, I find, in the mind of a warrior. I believe in this place my mortal tides me, it could make good use of one as you.

[odinsdottir]

Then tell me where.

[flaerd]

Abax, it is called.

[odinsdottir]

[ A hesitation. ]

In truth, Loki, though I would be where you are, I also fear meeting you, not knowing what I know.

[flaerd]

All the better to prove you're Asgard's Queen, yes? What difference does what you know make?

The end remains the end.

[odinsdottir]

I fear your manipulations.

[flaerd]

I know not of which you speak, Thyra. I only defend my home, you must know. But what would come if you and I were to not be upon the Ash Tree no longer, be stuck there, then what?

Perhaps we could repair.

[odinsdottir]

It is no accusation of crime, Loki. I do not know your mind as you know mine, and you take pleasure in creating circumstances to suit your whims -- I have no doubt that there you will lie to me and say you were not raised in Jotunnheim, or that you are the crown prince of Asgard, or anything else that would further your ends.

[flaerd]

You truly think so low of me?

[odinsdottir]

It is disappointment, that you do not trust me enough for honesty, and it is a compliment, that your cleverness leaves you so capable.

[flaerd]

And if I speak just now that I know not how to think of you and what grand differences between the Odinson I know?

[odinsdottir]

Then perhaps I will apologize for making assumption of you, from knowledge of my brother.

[flaerd]

[ He'd like to say that he sees you as more worthy than that man, but he is, afterall, the liesmith, and thus his lips are sealed. ] Perhaps it is accepted.

[odinsdottir]

That -- gladdens my heart.

[flaerd]

Don't get too comfortable. There is, and forever will be, Ragnarok.

[odinsdottir]

I do not believe that. I do not believe we will be trapped in that cycle for all eternity.

[flaerd]

You aught to. You play the part.

[odinsdottir]

Someday, we will break it.

Perhaps Loki and I, together...

[flaerd]

I doubt it, Thyra. Mischief and chaos is his very name.

[odinsdottir]

But we are better together than apart.

[flaerd]

[ Silence. ]




I do not understand. Asgard has always slighted the workers of magic if they be a man, too feminine an art.

[odinsdottir]

So we took opposite paths, than what was expected of us. What matters now is that we be the best example that we could be.

Why do you continue to break him, Thyra :|

[flaerd]

I did not take it, Odin's daughter. It was given to me, birthed into my flesh.

When had you become so kind worded to magic tricks?
