[Voice | D516, after the fiasco with the sea serpent]

It has come to my attention that in light of recent events, we have had little enough time to ourselves. Naturally, this is only to be expected in a time of war. However, we must not lose sight of ourselves in the midst of all this havoc, and I therefore have a proposal for the women of Asgard.

Would anyone, perhaps, be interested in joining me for an evening of light entertainment? We have precious little time before everything comes crashing down around our ears, and I wish to attempt to use some of that time to get to know my fellow ladies-in-arms a bit more.

Might've been on hell of a surprise if they all did though, yeah?

There's still a few around. [ and alcohol was way more efficient than tea in "breaking the ice" scenaros ] But if that's the case, maybe you're better off with something more PG.

[Laughter.] Yes, it very much would. Still, I'd manage. It could hardly be more crowded than court, after all.

... PG?

Court? [ question for a question, oops.

also, right, that whole worlds not being similar across the board thing. ]

—uh, right. It stands for Parental Guidance ratings for films and things, but it's also a way of calling things... tamer?

Yes. For members of the nobility and such.

I see. [No, she doesn't.]

Is that what you are?

Among other things, yes.

That explains the tea and cakes idea.

[ well she probably shouldn't have said that so loud ]

I'm more fond of tea than cake, but I wouldn't mind both.

[Yeah, guess who doesn't get it.]

You might have to look a little harder to find some, but I'd kill for a good cake these days.

That does sound lovely. Perhaps my partner would be able to tell me where to find some.

Cook of some sort?

No, actually. He is a detective.

Oh, huh. [ definitely a superior use of his skills than any actual crime-solving tbh ]

So how does a noblewoman become partners with a detective?

There was a traitor in Asgard, as I'm certain you know. I wished to do what I could in order to help, so I joined forces with him and some others. Although the traitor was discovered by another party, he and I have been training together, and we sometimes meet up.

I guess stranger things have happened. It's not easy being a detective, I can tell you that.

[ speaking from her own little bit of experience there ]

No, it is not. I much prefer being a soldier, myself. At least then, I know for certain where the enemies are.

[Mostly.]

You've fought in a war before, then.

Yes.

Maybe you ought to give some pointers.

.... "Pointers"?

[ she'd be staring back at the bracelet in confusion if maribelle could see her, not getting that the other woman's not grasping what she means. ]

Yeah, if you're feeling up to it.

But it's rather rude to point at people, is it not?

...It would be, yeah, but—

[ oh. she laughs at the realization. ]

We don't need literal pointing.

Oh, that's a relief -

[Wait.]

What?

I just thought I'd ask for tips or advice, I suppose you might call it. Never been in a situation like this before.
