An OUTRAGEOUS Revelation!
Irina having dropped him off, Argo felt the need to visit his friends and fellow gods of the Defenders. It had already been a good time since his return to the mortal realm (though he had been unusually quiet in discussing what, exactly, had caused him to leave Olympus). He had drank many beers, he had told many stories, and he had been with many women.

Some of the fangirls had been rather enthusiastic about his return.

But for now, he wished to see his other friends. He'd heard there had been a baby born while he was gone. To Svalin, no less! He'd thought her only slightly less frigid than Asleif, unable to be warmed even by the Lion Cub of Olympus. Who could have reached her so? His helm was off to such a master of woo, whomever he may be.

He rang the bell.

	It was if some primal force reached into his spine and cursed him with a disturbing chill upon hearing that word. "I am right here," Kael muttered, rubbing his ear. "Shouting is not necessary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh yeah they can go have lady time in another room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tis but my nature," Argo told Kael. "I live every moment to its fullest!" A thought slowly worked its way through his thick head. "But if you are my brother... who is your mother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Were the tip of his ears twitching? ...yes. Kael took another deep breath. He had no desire to make Lady Sarah's life difficult. "Queen Alflyse of Svartaflheim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah ha!" Argo said, as recognition dawned. "I remember that tale now! Our Father proved himself quite clever!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael at first was in a state of appalled shock, then the anger started to rush in... His teeth gritted. "...we best continue this outside." It took every ounce of Kael's self-control and respect for his companions to keep him from punching the fool there on the spot. Kael stiffly walked past Argo to the door.

	Argo was not quite sure why this was necessary, but he supposed it did no harm. His brother did seem rather twitchy, in truth, but perhaps he simply needed to drink more or bed more women. Argo followed. "If you insist," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When they were well away from the Defenders compound, Kael turned back to Argo. "You never, ever, express our father's action as some kind of clever ruse again. Are we clear?" Kael said darkly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In general or in relating to that specific adventure?" Argo asked. Because he wanted to be clear on what was being asked of him here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"Adventure? He pretended to be someone he wasn't with the intention of deceiving a woman into bed with no thought of the consequences!? You call that an adventure!?" Kael was nearing the end of his rope. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo frowned. "The intention was to gain access to the realm of the Elves, and he too had been deceived in those matters." A further frown. "And had he not been there, Malekith's plans might well have succeeded." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"If he knew anything of Dark Elf customs any deception would have been moot!" Kael said dismissively.

"He may very well had, but that is the only saving grace here! Where was he when mother tried to find him!?" Kael was only a foot away now. "Where was he when my only childhood companions were mockery and disgust!?" He turns his head showing a long scar across his neck. "Where was he when my throat was slit when I was twelve years old!?"

	"I know not where he was," Argo growled. "Olympus, perhaps, or elsewhere. He left my own mother when I was but small. But had he but known of your existence, he would not have left you alone." He gave Kael a light, but firm, shove. "I ask that you mind my personal space, Brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael barely budged an inch. "And I'd ask not to have been born his son, but neither of us are getting what we want," Kael growled darkly. He'd tried, he really had. Kael pushs back..hard. Oh yes, he was definitely Hercules' son. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo, unprepared, was knocked several steps back, catching his balance as best he could. Surprise registered on his face, turning to anger. "I've no wish to fight you, Brother. The blood of our father runs in both our veins. We can be friends." His tone was slightly harsh, turning colder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"From what I understand it probably runs in a quarter of Midgard's population." Kael throws his swords down. He wasn't going to kill him. "My father's blood has given me nothing but misery! Why would you be any different!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Argo's face twisted into something of a snarl. "I would advise you to watch your words, and your tone, Brother," he said. "Lest I correct them with my fists." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	"You're welcome to try," Kael challenged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo had had enough. His father had been insulted. He had been insulted. His battle prowess had been insulted. It was more than he could stand. "Receive the Gift of Battle!" he bellowed, as he threw a punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Kael let out an Elvish call of battle and flung a punch of his own. Their fists connected, a thundering sound echoed when they did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	The blow was massive, the crack of thunder probably broke more than a few windows. And Argo? Argo was laughing. "Ha ha ha! OUTRAGEOUS! Your strength is impressive, Brother! But it does not excuse your words!" He put up his fists, bounced on the balls of his feet. "Do you relent? Or must I show you further, my outrageous might?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Kael wouldn't admit it, but it felt good to vent like this. "I am not looking for forgiveness!" Kael moved into a combat stance, but scrunched his eyes in annoyance. "Why do you keep saying that!?" He darts forward and sends a kick Argo's way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	The kick knocked Argo off his feet, sending him flying into a tree on the grounds. It cracked under the impact. "I greet you in the spirit of brotherhood, and you repay me with hateful words? Most unkind, Brother!" He ripped the tree out of the ground and swung it like a bat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Argo was probably stronger, but Kael was quicker. He flipped back, barely missing the first swing. "You had the benefit of knowing him! Being loved by him! All he gave me was abandonment!" When the tree cqame back around, Kael grabbed the tree, trying to wrench it from Argo's grasp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Argo braced himself and kept the tree from leaving his grasp. He instead tried to swing it with Kael attached. "Have at you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
