Hollywood, Here We Come!
Iona was truly enjoying Midgard. What parts of it she'd managed to see that is. Once she discovered the TV and the *wonderful* invention of Netflix, she'd been veritably glued to the TV, pouring over the stories. Movies. Here they were called movies. The red program was even an oracle, making suggestions that had, thus far, been mostly entertaining. And then she came across...She couldn't believe it. Halbjorn's face on screen, playing a character, Cuchulain.

After watching both of his films, it had taken her days to work up the nerve to seek him out. But she came prepared! Armed with a heaping plate of leftovers from Midgard's *wonderful* holiday recently past, she knocked softly on his door.

	"Mine sister and Zoey hath been teaching me some. I hath learned most of the English alphabet, and canst read some things, if slowly. If thou wishest to help, I wilt not argue... it simply hast ne'er been too important. Most oft, mine memory serves well enow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A fine memory is importantant, you speak truth, and are most wise...but the written word my lord, is eternal. Your words may be kept in perpetuity for all of eternity. None are able to change your words once they are written...but thee must take care to always write what thy truly means...lest you do yourself an injustice..." it was very likely the most shed ever said to him.

He considers that a few moments, then smiles. "Aye, tis why I hath such as mine sister and thee to write for me. Thou'rt better with words than e'er I wilt be, and hath more dedicated thyself to such affairs. I wilt continue to learn of letter o'er time... but I am a warrior born, always. I wilt create mine story with deeds... and tis the sacred responsibility of such as thee to make certain the tales art told true."

"Relax." he replies with a smile. "The movies art entertaining... but they art entertainment. If I destroy the script, I wilt get a new one. We hath a chance to do great deeds here... but there must needs be time to relax as well... this ist fine food... thou'rt fine company. There ist no need to treat e'erything as the end of the world... and I wouldst like to get to know thee better, without such airs."

	She looked at him before letting out a pent up breath and a small laugh, releasing the stranle hold she had on the script, setting it aside. "Mayhaps I tend towards the dramatic...it is an after affect of my trade. I shall try to be more...natural." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 05:01 am UTC (link)

	"Our lives art not our own. Our fates wert decided before we were born. I wilt die in service to Asgard, and proudly so. Shouldst she call, I wilt be there. But in the hours until then... there ist food, drink, women and song... and I so I wilt enjoy these things as well, and die without regret." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs, shaking his head, then goes on to tell her the story of the Empress and the people she kidnapped, eventually transforming a number of the men into women in hopes of finding her champion, until they were freed from her mind control by his oldest sister and some of the other women.

	She sat back, trying to imagine him as female, snorting and shaking her head at the image. "I hope to some day live such tales, and not just hear about them.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-30 01:16 am UTC (link)
	She bit her lip and smiled, "I like to please..." And there was definitely a sparkle in her eye as she skipped off to go find him pie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-30 01:23 am UTC (link)
	He grins at that, "I shalt keep that in mind." he teases, eyeing her hindquarters as she skips off. (Reply to this)(Parent)
