[asofwar]

[There is a crackle of static noise, and the sounds of battles on the horizon; where else would she go, once awake? (Or perhaps she is imagining them, or perhaps she can feel them even from afar.)]

One war ends, another begins. Now is not the time for reunions, it feels. [A pause. Then, stern, solid.] I will go where I am needed - but I might require a horse.

[ooc; LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS, TO DEFEAT THE HUNS. Fight now, chat later basically.]

[ oh, miss Sif. ]

So you are coming too. [ she may not recognize him but OOPS Ame. forgets that, since it's so natural to him to be a wolf ]

Why a horse?

[asofwar]

Warriors of Asgard ride horses, not...[Waves hand dismissively, ew trains whatever.

And it's so unfortunate that she doesn't know who this is.] I have decided to lend this Asgard my blade, if only because peace for all must be restored.

[okamichild]

But what if the horse gets hurt? [ It's important, okay? Ame thinks the horse should have a saying in it ]

In any case - and won't the confusion make it hard to fight?

[asofwar]

[She's not going to debate with a horse.] You assume we would allow it.

There are horses with eight legs in the park. [She still thinks they're weird, but if people can use them, she won't judge.]

I dunno if you keep the normal ones around...

[asofwar]

...[More than one Sleipnir, this place is so hrnnngh.] If nothing else will do, they are sure to be fast.

[airborn]

[She nods in agreement.]

They draw the carriages around the park. I watched them for a few days...they're pretty fast.

[asofwar]

I have not seen you here before.

[subecho]

We... want for horses.

[asofwar]

[There, the easy sense of humour that sometimes slips between them in the most dire situations is not present now. She looks as well rested as if she's slept for years, and just as long time has past in a sense, but she does not look at ease. One war ends, another begins - Sif knows what she's been talking about.

Does Thor, however? Does Fandral? Has he known all this time...]

Thor.

[subecho]

[ And that is telling enough of a reaction for what's gone passed and what comes expected. ]


Sif.

[asofwar]

[So many things she wants to say, so many things she should not say, but above all of them-]

Are you off to fight this battle?

[audio]

[sassgardian]

[He does sound slightly preoccupied, what with being on point and on time for once (a miracle), but he finds enough time for:]

Dilatoriness seems so unlike you, Lady Sif.

[Goading? Always.]

[audio]

[asofwar]

[Are you expecting her to raise to the bait right now, because - timing.]

There are ways to converse in private through these things, yes?

[audio - private]

[sassgardian]

[Of course Fandral would know--over everything else he needs to--how to privatize a conversation. Of course. And for once, he heeds the seriousness in her tone, and the forced joviality drops significantly.]

Indeed. Something you need to get off your chest?

[But not completely.]

[audio - private]

[asofwar]

You knew, did you not?

THREADJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK : (

[subecho]

...for the last time: if we can but barely pronounce it, it is unlike us.

THOR rude

[asofwar]

I resent the implication.

: (

[subecho]

Speak it.

<333

[sassgardian]

You can barely pronounce it, my friend, it is hardly a problem for the rest of us.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn

[subecho]

[ Oh so carefully pronounced - ]

Dil - a - to - ri - ness.

[17thcenturyboy]

War is never-ending. That is an aspect of its elegance, is it not?

voice.

[asofwar]

Elegance, constancy, tediousness. I have heard many options.

voice.

[17thcenturyboy]

All accurate, and yet... Do you revel in it? Personally.

voice.

[asofwar]

The battle, or the war?
