asgardeventide | 006 ❅ Video/Action for Heimdall

[Arya's at the Bank of Dvalin, she'd gone in to take out what small amount of money she had here with the intention of getting a present for a friend, but when she went to make the withdrawal, there had been something else waiting there for her. A golden helm, shaped with the horns of a bull. Arya's unsure why someone would leave her such a thoughtful gift, or why they didn't give it to her themselves rather than put it in the bank for her, but she looks absolutely delighted with it.

Sat on the steps outside the bank, she stuffs the fistful of runes she's withdrawn into her pocket, and turns the helmet over in her hands. It's a little big for her, obviously made for an adult, but she's sure she could have it modified. Besides, the next thing she needed to do now that she had the money for the gauntlets and anklets she wanted to get for Sophie was find someone who could make them; she could have the helmet altered at the same time.

She switches on the video on the bracelet, her face still full of excitement at the gift.]

Is there anyone here who's an armorer, or a blacksmith?

((OOC: Arya doesn't know that the helmet belonged to Loki, or that this means that he's gone from the city. Feel free to deliver the news to her, she needs some more Starkpain in her life))

[Though she and Loki had spoken on a few occasions, Samantha had never actually seen the helmet in question before. Its significance was somewhat lost on her while she looked at it.]

Can't remember the nearest one, but I'm almost sure there is one around here, maybe in your district. Nice helmet. Maybe a little flashy, but that'd scare the hell out of someone at your speed.

Little big, though, isn't it?

That's what I was thinking, too! People would think they were being charged by something, wouldn't they?

Yes, a little. I want to get it made smaller, though.

Exactly. If you haven't met Tavros, you should talk to him. He's got big horns like a bull on his head. Not the most intimidating sort [Understatement of the year...], but you might see if he's got any pointers on making it look impressive.

When you get that refitted, let me know. I want to see it on you. Should get some shoulder pads or something, complete the look.

All right! I haven't met him, but I'll look out for him.

Shoulder pads?

He's a troll, so you're looking for gray skin and big horns. Nice guy, kind of shy. And I mean like big metal pads, ones that give your shoulders a bigger, more imposing.

Is that what they are? [She's seen a couple of the trolls around, but doesn't know any of them personally.] I'd always thought trolls were bigger, and carried clubs.

That's a good idea. Maybe I can get someone to make me some of those, too.

Different worlds, different sorts of trolls. The gray-skinned ones with the yellow eyes and orange or yellow horns are all trolls. Only one I ever saw carrying a club around was Gamzee. They... take some getting used to most of the time.

[She chuckled a little at that.]

And yeah, I imagine this will turn out good as far as looks go, especially at your speed. It'd look kind of odd if it were just someone standing around all the time, sitting on a throne or something.

Wonder whose it was originally.

Who would waste such a good helm by sitting on a throne with it? In my world, they're worn for battle, especially stylised ones like this. [She runs a finger up one of the horns to illustrate.] They're made to look like the animal on the House Sigils, so the enemy knows who they ride against in battle.

Way too public for my tastes. But I'm the back alley fighting sort, not the front of an army sort. This would probably work pretty well that way. Bull sort of look, isn't it?
