asgardeventide | ♛ 4th Curious Thought [Video]

No, I don't think so. But sometimes, living in Asgard can be trying. I would imagine it to be the reason, at least in part, for some people.

I suppose I'm experiencing things in Asgard I'd might not experience anywhere else, but... the problem is still there, once it's all over. I've just delayed it, not made it go away.

Yes, that is very true. Sometimes when people are in a lot of pain they cannot think this logically. But choosing to turn gray is never the answer.

But it's clearly an option because people have done it.

There is always a gap between what a person should do, and what they can. There are many options, it does not make them all right.

I know people can do many good and bad things... But some people do it with a very clear mind.

It is not necessarily bad - it is a decision formed in weakness, and we are all weak at times.

It's such a strange to think about, I suppose. Even when I'm upset I wouldn't think to forget myself completely.

That is good, you shouldn't. It is not a good feeling, and when you emerge from it, it leaves you feeling far worse.

Have you done it, sir? Gone grey, that is? I'm sorry if it seems like such a forward question.

It's quite alright - I have, though not on purpose.

Oh... were... you alright afterwards?

It took some time to re-acclimate, but yes. I do not recommend the experience, if it can be avoided.

So you know even better than I do about why someone might go grey.

If I may ask, sir, were... you... did you want to stay grey?

No, absolutely not.

[Well maybe a little bit, in his weakest moments. But he never entertains the thought.]

I have never chosen it, nor will I ever do so.

I apologize if I've made you upset, sir. [She was just curious was all.]

You have nothing to apologize for, my lady. All you do is ask, if anything truly upset me I can choose not to answer.

Still... sometimes I ask things that make people very upset which wasn't my intent, certainly. I simply don't know when to not ask something sometimes. [Most of the time it's obvious but, well, she has a bad habit of sometimes making herself be far too forward.]

I promise to tell if such an instance occurs. So long as I make no comment, you may ask me what you wish.

[Though honestly he'd answer anything, including difficult, personal and invasive questions.]

Thank you, sir. You're very kind! Oh! I've not thought to introduce myself and I've asked all these questions. My name is Alice, Alice Liddell. How do you do?

It's very nice to meet you, Alice.

[He inclines his head respectfully.]

I am Sir Lancelot, at your service.

Ah! Lancelot as in...

As in King Arthur's knight Lancelot?

[Wow it's been so long since he's gotten this reaction. He smiles softly and nods.]

The very one.

Oh! Oh my goodness! This is such an honor! First the king and now you! Oh! It's a pleasure, sire!

Knowing Arthur is an honor you and I now share. [He inclines his head] But I am just a man. The pleasure of this meeting, is mine.
