[ He's settled quite comfortably in the corner of one of the city's cozy taverns, broadcasting a little smugly. Melting snow is still crusted on his hat and collar, but his clear glass tankard is already half empty. ]

I've heard more whining about the lights than anything else. 'The travelers will like them,' I heard. 'They're festive,' they said. Tchh. You'd think that most of you were blood sworn against having a little fun downtime between battles in a war.

[ And Thor signs off with a salute of his mug. ]

[ His nostrils flair a little at that, his eyes flashing a little wide. He doesn't want to talk about Freyr, doesn't want to acknowledge Freya; it's anger seeping into his expression now, and he does nothing to mask it. ]

Watch your tongue when speaking to a god, boy.

[ No. ]

Being more powerful than everyone else doesn't make anyone a god. [ Unlike before, it's quiet. Stern, but almost --

... pitying. ]

[ Thor holds then, glowering, before he snorts and apparently deems the fight not worth fighting. ]

No. But being a god of the realm does, actually, make you a god. It's sort of a thing, you know. We're deities. They worship us. Have you seen the little shrines?

Anything else?

[ You can't defend the fact you're a god just by claiming you are one.

So his expression curtains in a little annoyance, before it clears again. ]

She shouldn't bring him back. [ He recognizes that's bringing up something he shouldn't probably, but he doesn't care. When he'd gotten back from Utgard, that message from Freya had...

... it was distressing. ] I don't know how much any of you all talk amongst yourselves or maybe half of what's actually going on here. [ Curt yet gentle both. ] Or where we factor in exactly or how much maybe we're all in over our heads. [ He means them too, the "gods". Seeing Freya's pain and humanity would hammer that in more than anything. ] But...

...nothing good can come from that sort of thing.

[ Soft, heavy. ] But even so...

Despite that, how much we might sometimes hate that, it's nice having a little reminder of things. Even if it's just for a while.

So thank you for the lights.

[ And, again- it manages to catch him off guard, and he snarls. ]

His death does more damage to this land than you could imagine. We don't just live here, we are-

[ The tankard in his hand shatters. He growls again, before simply slapping the bracelet against the table to end the feed. ]

[A moment later.]

So over-dramatic.

[asgardsstrength]

Weh weh weh.

[ FROWNING. ]

I was talking about Allen.

[God. The one time she actually might be on your side, and you have to go and frown and pout like a baby.

You're worse than Tyki.]

But it's nice to see you aren't always a big lumbering oaf.




[You know, getting so defensive about Freyr.]
