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 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)

	She nodded, thoughtfully. "It could well be. Too many in the Nine Realms, whomever they may be... cling too tightly to things because ''tis the way t'was always done." (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)

	Another nod. "Surtur is nearly as old and crafty as the All-Father himself. Such knowledge... concerns me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A compelling thought," she replied. "But a dangerous one as well. Other powers will desire him as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Perhaps..perhaps it is best we keep such a thought to ourselves for the moment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-09-21 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," Asleif agreed. "Mine sister and her wife have stresses enough, without adding to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"May I ask you a question, Lady Asleif?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You may ask that thou wilst, Kael," Asleif said. "Though I doth reserve the right not to answer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-09-21 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "Fair enough, Lady. If you had no role in the Eddas, what would you like to be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

An... interesting question. Surprise and uncertainty briefly flicker across Asleif's face, before returning to her usual composed mask.

"To hath such freedom... To know that I play no part and can be whom I so chooseth..."

She paused for a moment. "I wouldst like... to be..."

Adored.
Heroic.
Loved.
Admired.
Important.
Trusted.

"I wouldst simply like to be. To know that freedom and that each choice I make be naught but for me."

	Kael notes the surprise, she covers it well, but he'd learn to read subtle emotion since he was a child. He listens attentively before nodding in understanding. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
