[ well this is new. there is no face to go with the name 'Jamie Moriarty' but there is certainly a name attached to this little greeting. ]

Good afternoon, Asgard.

This introduction is overdue and I fear I can do nothing about that fact aside of asking for your forgiveness. I trust you will all understand how busy and demanding times in this city can be.

I hear you are not overly fond of riddles which I do not find odd. What is Asgard if not a complex riddle? But I would greatly appreciate if you consider this one. I trust those who would solve it shall find themselves with an interesting subject to discuss.

[considered]

As will I. Though as to how many, no number comes to mind.

[herrin]

Too many and it would be uncanny.

[considered]

Just enough and it would be a thrill.

[herrin]

Yes.

And it may confuse the boys.

[considered]

Men are oft so confused by women as it is, are they not?

[herrin]

Too often. Though I wouldn't limit that exclusively to men. Anyone may be confused by a strong enough woman.

[considered]

I admit myself to find women, when they are intelligent, to be more complex than men. Sherlock has always been easy enough for me, as brilliant as it is. But a woman with such a mind.

[ well. Jamie Moriarty. All layers and no answers. ]

[herrin]

You may be right and I may agree; but I must admit myself to be rather biased.

I am not very well acquainted with your Sherlock. He seems remarkably dissimilar to the one I know.

[considered]

They share only the very basic similarities, indeed. I do think they would greatly dislike each other which is, I admit, very amusing to me.

[herrin]

And me. Somehow it doesn't surprise me; if they both have even half the level of arrogance as the one I know, they would naturally dislike each other for taking the position of 'smartest person in the room'.

I don't suppose Mycroft Holmes is here as well?

[considered]

[ this is why she likes irene adler. ]

It is quite hard to be very unique when there are others quite like you.

[ unless you're jamie morairty, a vain, proud being who considers herself their superior. ]

Alas, the city only hosts one Holmes brother. I dare guess if he were, Sherlock would have requested an audience with the Gods and make a case for them to send him back home.

[herrin]

Exactly.

And you may be on to something with that; though I'm quite certain the elder Holmes brother could make an equally convincing case as to why he should be allowed to stay, simply for the pleasure of needling his brother.

[considered]

Amusing than a man like Sherlock Holmes can fall into something as simple as sibling rivalry.

[herrin]

I wouldn't say there is anything simple about it, considering the siblings.
