[ Oh look, it's the not-'Asgardian'!Asgardian! And he holds his hand up, palm outward in silent greetings. ]

Friends, newcomers - [ ...and Malekith... ] - well met. I shall keep brief: we have faced war. And we have had our dead and our wounded to show for the victory.

[ And now, he turns slightly more somber. ]

I do not ask whether you fight for this land or its people, for your pleasure or your lives alone. Whatever your reasons, we do not die here. In this, I think, we all agree. Yet...

[ He has the grace to look sheepish. ]

...apologies, but many of you walk as if targets. You know nothing of battle, and the gifts given to you in this land do not serve. The meager war crafts would be of help to you: shield bearing, the handling of sword and hammer. I do not speak of great ability, but enough that you can bide yourselves the time to run.

[ Firmer, now. ]

So: those who wish to learn, give say of what weapon might suit you. Those who know of battle and wish to teach it, name your skill and offer service. And those who once held sorcery alike to the one gained here, volunteer counsel of how to improve it.

For my part, I wield the hammer. I lack in patience, but do not scold unfairly. What knowledge I have is yours to take.

[ Is the part where he riles half of Asgard done with? OH THANK EVERYTHING, time to offend the other half. ]

Past every man's care, we can seek to defend the city. Who here runs inventory? Have we cannons? Rams? Horses? If anyone wishes to learn, or organize legions - you have my aid in this. There lies opportunity. Another is with our fellows, the grey ones. A frail-bearded man wrote that we do not give them thought or time. Perhaps he is wise, and there is more to be done in alliance.

[ And then he stares at the camera for a long moment of rather stupid blinking, before dissolving into laughter, because - ]

That... was not brief.


[ ooc: woah, tl;dr. iiif you'd like to get involved, just have your character volunteer to teach their faito skills, and I'll have Thor send some/all of the characters who want to pick up said skills their way o/ . ]

Only that friend Fandral wished to embark on such venture and... we would do well with... a third... wakeful companion...

[asofwar]

Shall I tell you what I hear?

[subecho]

[ MANNING UP FOR THIS - ]

Speak.

[asofwar]

You fear for your coin purse.

[subecho]

...yes. That is so. That is the reason.

[asofwar]

Because it cannot possibly be that you fear that I could start a war.

[subecho]

Cannot. Possibly.

[asofwar]

Try them together.

[subecho]

...Sif. Before you take to anger - hear me.

[asofwar]

[Such fun.] I hear you.

[subecho]

Hear me.

[sassgardian]

Thor... [Thor, no.]

[subecho]

Fan.. dral...?


[ ALERT. ALERT. ALERT.

HELP A BRO. ]

[sassgardian]

I fear you may never hear the end of this.

[subecho]

Now you speak so.

[sassgardian]

[Woah, woah, hey.] Am I really to be blamed for your haste?

I would encourage amends before she asks for all our heads.

[subecho]

Trust in me. I have this.

[sassgardian]

By all means, my friend, regale me with your talent of reparation.

[subecho]

I have learned beside the master.

actual dorks omfg

[sassgardian]

Indeed, and an impressive feat at that. Though I doubt it is my pride you seek, you have it.

always and the best ;_;

[subecho]

You would do better to share some of your luck.

;_;

[sassgardian]

If you can find a way to take it, it is yours as well.

[subecho]

You are generous past measure and the selfishness of most men. I thank you, friend.

[sassgardian]

Indelibly flattering, Thor, but there is no need.

[subecho]

Will you not take mere flattery and keep silent?
