Asgard (Open)
It was nearing Solver's first birthday, not that Asgardians really celebrated such, but it had been some time since the mothers, especially MomTwo had some time with her grandson. Einmyria made it a point to send Skari with a message stating such. It was time for a visit while things wert quiet.

No sooner than they had stepped foot into the Great Hall, then Einmyria scooped Solver up to take him to go dote upon him. Eir and Astrid were tagging along after her to play with their nephew. Svalin went to go to talk to her father first. Then find some sparring partners. She brought her bat'leth to use against Asgard's warriors to test her abilities with it.

There was also the quest to find the Crimson Hawk the Norns spoke about.

First thing's first. She went to see her father.

It still felt odd to walk in Asgard unimpeded, but apparently being associated with the Defenders gave him considerable leeway. Still, he saw the looks some of the Aesir gave him. He wasn't exactly comfortable with them either to be honest. truthfully..he wanted to see home. He wrote a letter to his mother and she expressly forbade it, saying the recent scheme by Malekith made things more tense than usual. She also stressed upon him the importance of creating good relations with Asgard. This was all logical and true, but...he wanted to go home.

It was... quite strange, in truth. Asleif has always been afforded some measure of respect and deference, as a princess of the realm, but since the ceremony, things had been... different.

There were the whispers; there always would be. It had been well known since not long after she had been born that she had been the favorite grandchild of Loki, that she proudly claimed the blood of giants that ran in her veins just as much as the blood of Thor. Prophesy itself knew not what to make of her or her intentions.

But right now...? She had saved them all from sheer destruction. By those sames wits and wiles that made others fear her intentions so. And so it was good. For now.

Her walking took her near the Elf's path.

"Hail and well met, Kael."

	Kael had heard footsteps, the ears were not just for show, but he didn't sense danger. "Hail Asleif Thorsdottir," he says, then smirks. "Goddess of Secrets and Deception." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is..a fine enough city," he replied in his honest opinion. "I could never live here though. Too loud for my tastes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At times," Asleif agreed. "Others--and I wilt not admit this, shouldst thy bring it up--others... I wouldst that things could be different." She looked heavenward. "But we art all as we were made, slaves to our natures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael raises an eyebrow. "I'm already a slave to my society's whims. I personally refuse to be a slave to my nature," he mutters the following. "regardless of circumstances." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kael felt a familiar twinge that he often got around his own people. It usually meant someone was amusing themselves at his expense, but he let it go. After all, if you can't figure out the joke, there was no point in calling the other person out on it.

"There is a certain liberty at having no role in the Eddas," he admits. "Then again, it may not be as immutable as so many seem to think. Have you considered the encounter with Surtur?"

	"Aye," Asleif said, nodding. "Mine nephew changes all. Born of Asgard and... outside, wherever that may be. Fate bends before his future... and sweeps the tide for us all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
