[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.

[airborn]

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...

video

[asofwar]

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

video

[airborn]

[She nods in agreement.]

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

video

[asofwar]

I have not seen you here before.

video

[airborn]

[There's a spark of mischievousness that she doesn't manage to hide.]

Maybe because I don't want to be seen. I like watching people from the roofs. Nobody ever looks up there.

video

[asofwar]

[Oho, well this is a surprising twist.]

And you do no slip?

video

[airborn]

On the roofs? [She has to think about this.]

Maybe a couple times in the beginning. I've been doing this for a long time, so it's okay now. It's slippier on tree branches.

[At least the rooftops are pretty sturdy.]

video

[asofwar]

We do learn through practice. I will have to look to the roofs now.

video

[airborn]

Do you want to use the roofs, too? It's not so crowded like the normal streets and you can see everything from up there.

That's how I saw the weird horses last time.

video

[asofwar]

It has been a while - and I suppose these might as well be new roofs to practice on.

video

[airborn]

I can come with you if you try. [She actually bounces a little. So very few people go up there with her!]

Oh! You need one of the horses, right?

video

[asofwar]

Yes. A battle is afoot, I hear. The roofs must be kept safe, so we can climb them another time.

video

[airborn]

Yeah...lots of people are leaving for the battle. [Actually, wait...]

How come you're not going with the big group? They're taking the train there.

video

[asofwar]

I...[Nooooooo.] Was sleeping.

video

[airborn]

[Okay, she actually wasn't expecting that one. Rue ends up giggling for a few seconds.

Despite the serious situation they're faced with, that is funny.]

[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?

video

[asofwar]

Not of my own choice.

[asofwar]

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

[okamichild]

Animals get scared ether you allow it or not. It's their nature.

A horse is ridden, but if something suddenly scares it, it may throw you down and you get hurt in the middle of the battle. [ or worse ]

[asofwar]

And what would you suggest, instead?

[okamichild]

The train will leave you and everyone else at Alfheim. It's faster than a horse and you won't get lost getting there.

During battle, we will all walk by our own feet.

[asofwar]

You are joining?

[okamichild]

Yes. The forest is in danger. And the elves, too.
