[fiercestwarrior]

Kara, I have a strange request to make.

[valr]

[She types anything, decides it's too strong and deletes it, before trying again.]

How can I help?

[fiercestwarrior]

Your wings, could you wrap them around a person?

[ Such an awkward thing to ask. ]

[valr]

[uhhhhhhhhhh]

I could

[It's a little uncomfortable, just physically, but she isn't going to say that until she hears more. And she's assuming Sif will explain herself.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Would you do that for me?

[ Hide her, please. ]

[valr]

[kara dot gif]

Has something happened?

[fiercestwarrior]

Another bad night, nothing surprising. Forgive me, it is late and I am acting like a fool.

[valr]

[Oh, she was being hyperbolic.]

Do you want company?

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Totally wouldn't turn down a wing hug though. ]

If you would indulge me.

[valr]

Of course.

Where are you?

[Kara could likely find her based on instinct, but it's easier if she has a location.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Training area of the barracks.

[valr]

Be there in ten

[She can fly there quicker than that, but she takes a quick shower first, pulls on some clean clothes and makes her way to the barracks.

Kara... isn't sure how to approach this, so she waits just inside the door, knowing her entrance would've been loud enough to alert Sif to her presence.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Sif is moving around the room, her sword swirling around her with the second blade extended. She's been at it for a long time, by the look of her. Her shirt is sticking to her body with sweat, her feet are bare and her hair is hanging in a loose braid along her back.

She only took a break to text Kara, and as soon as it was confirmed that the valkyrie was coming, she started to move again.

She stops when she hears her arrival, however, offering her an almost sheepish little smile. ]

Thank you for coming.

[worldsaway]

[Thor, a few days out of his coma and his love fest with Bryn, is rapping his knuckles lightly on Kara's door.]

Hello?

[valr]

[Some of the tension has drained away from the house now that Thor is awake, though Kara still isn't sure if her and Val should stay. For now, she's just keeping to her room a little more than she used to, giving Thor and Bryn space.

But she still opens the door for him.]

Is all well?

[worldsaway]

All is very well.

[Thor slips into her room, inviting himself to sit on the corner of her bed.]

Better than it has been for a long time, actually. How have you been faring? We live together, but I feel like I haven't seen you for a while.

[valr]

[Kara's room has stayed as undecorated as it was when she moved in; there's clothes in the wardrobe and vague signs that her bed as been slept in, though it's made again, and that's about it.

And despite Thor taking a seat, she remains standing, hands clasped loosely behind her back in an approximation of parade rest.]

You were unwell, and... occupied.

['You were fucking your girlfriend which is fine but it's weird to think about' is what she isn't saying during that brief pause.]

I've been keeping busy, there is work, and smaller troubles beyond the wall.

[She likes to feel useful.]

[worldsaway]

Yes, it's been a busy month for me already.

[He listens, and nods. He's happy that she's keeping busy in a productive manner as opposed to Valkyrie who consistently stays busy in an unproductive manner.]

About that, about my occupation, I'd been meaning to mention how things will be from now on. [Thor smiles up at her.] Which is to say, I'd like it if they didn't change.

[valr]

[If Kara had been worried about that she doesn't show it; and the truth is that while she'd be slightly disappointed about having to leave, it wouldn't be the end of the world for her.]

Are you certain? It would be no trouble, if you desired privacy.

[worldsaway]

I’m very certain. I’m sure it would cause you no trouble, but I don’t offer things idly with no intention of following through.

[He shrugs.] Besides, I always knew Bryn would return.

[valr]

[Kara nods, accepting both Thor's answer and his faith in Bryn. She could maybe question it, since his mood after Bryn's departure leaned more towards mourning than waiting, but she isn't going to call him out.]

Is she happy with us here? I-- [Hmm, how to phrase this?] She believes she insulted me during a conversation. She did not, but if she is uncomfortable...

[Kara doubts Bryn would actually ask her to leave, but if she wants her to, she would.]

[worldsaway]

I don't imagine she's uncomfortable, per se. She's very mindful of others, I suppose it's a little complicated for all of us to navigate.

[He considers, but he shakes his head.]

I don't doubt that once we move past the rough patch, we'll settle in together well. I like you all, so at least you all have that in common.

[valr]

[That seems to fit with what she's seen of Bryn so far, that she's someone who's mindful of others. It's also definitely strange to navigate.]

If you're certain, but know I'll take no offense if circumstances must change.

[And she means that, she won't take it personally.]

[worldsaway]

I appreciate it.

[He concedes. He doesn't want to keep pushing, because things could change and he'd look like an ass.]

It wasn't the only thing I came here to ask you, anyway. I've placed a bet with a friend of mine, and I could use your help.

[valr]

[Interesting; she's listening, but only out of curiosity.]

Do you need information?

[It's not her best skill, though she's gotten better at it, and she can't actually imagine what else he'd need her help for.]
