[The curse that had been laid on Lyon, more then angering him, troubled him. Heimdall had censored her, manipulated her words. Perhaps it might have been one of the other gods, but Heimdall seemed most likely, given he was her patron.

It felt wrong. It went against all his views on how one should treat their allies and those who follow you. The curses were always horrible... but censoring someone for their opinions nagged at him until he decided to pose a query over the bracelet network.]

'True loyalty means being able to speak openly about what you think is right and what you think is wrong.'

Someone very important to me... a commander of great skill and wisdom, once said these words to me and others. I believe his words and follow them still. They have served me well so far. I believe a leader must be open to hearing the opinions of those who follow them, their allies and their friends. Even those they might not ever agree with.

[They didn't have to follow what was said..... but to ignore the words of those around entirely seemed, to him, a prideful mistake. There was much to learn by hearing other's opinions.]

Tell me, Asgard, what is your view on loyalty?

[Later in the day, he decides to speak directly to the source of his problem. He wouldn't be as forceful as Lyon.... he would be careful. But he needed to speak. So he makes an attempt to contact him, not publicly, but privately.]

[attempt at a filtered message to Heimdall]
Might I speak with you?

There's a lot of other things it could be, but... there was a story about a man who gave up his sound. And I know some people who have to give up a little of their life or souls for each spell, too.

....Those sounds like painful prices.

You do this sort of magic, Hibiki?

[Yes, he's guessing here. He had only met a small amount of children here, after all.]

[saving_sound]

...Yes, they are.

I've tried to learn how to use magic too, but I don't exactly have the talent for it.

[And oh, how she's tried.]

[He wondered what would motivate such a small child to wish to learn something so dangerous.....]

It sounds like it's far more difficult then the magic of my world.

That's how it seems to be. A lot of people here haven't even heard of magic that needs sacrifices, but that's just how it is in my world. It was so strange to find out you didn't need it here.

[He wondered, very briefly, if the 'prices' that kind of magical power came from could be as damaging as what had happened to his mother.... then quickly shook his head. Such things were not pleasant to dwell on, even now.]

I guess it would be.

But studying magic here has been a lot of fun! I can't use any of it of course, but I'm enjoying learning about all the different kinds of magic there are!
