FRIGG ( on behalf of ODIN )

[asgardsmother]

This time they all had the choice. However Elrond saw no reason to switch allegiances. So he approached Frigg, seeing an absence of Odin himself, and bowed in the form of his people - hand pressed to his heart and a small bow of the waist, head gracefully inclining.

"My lady, do you speak as ever for lord Odin?"

[asgardsmother]

The Queen of Asgard nodded her head respectfully in return, a pleasant and warm smile to greet him.

"I do, for as long as he sees fit to sleep his way through your surprise visit. I'm sure he'll be sad to have missed this."

He won't, not even a little, but she would spare him no details nonetheless.

LOKI

[asgardstricks]

[everysecond]

So she could pick whoever she wanted to be with, huh? Okay that was cool but it really didn't actually do anything for her to pick someone new. Sure the others had some great abilities and shit they could offer but there was just one House for her. Which was why she actually went straight to him, grin on her face. Because where did she want to be?

You got it. Loki's House.

"Yo. So there's all this shit about picking houses and crap but as far as I'm concerned I never left yours. You're totally the coolest of the gods so how about it? Want me back?"

Come on. Who wouldn't want Riley on their team?

[asgardstricks]

An idiot, that's who.

"I'd fight literally every one of these punks if they tried to take you from me, kiddo. Bring it in here."

The Trickster God matched her wolfish grin for grin and held up his hand for a high five that would explode in a burst of confetti if she took it.

[everysecond]

See? This was why she like Loki. He was willing to say he'd fight to keep her and he did cool shit like confetti when she high fived him. Bursting out laughing, she shook her head to try to get some of the crap off but was only moderately successful.

"Damn, Loki. You really never half ass anything. Even a high five!"

[fire_punk]

Kevin smirks, quite amused at the gods' antics. And, really, it feels kind of good to think of any of the gods wanting to brag about their travelers.

"Loki, you really bragged about us?"

[asgardstricks]

"Hell yeah," Loki says easily, relaxed in a comfy lounge chair in lieu of a more practical booth like some of the other gods. He looks every bit the part of the fat cat that got the cream, so pleased is he with his argument. "You guys are my favorite non-biologically related children! And you can ask the biological ones how much I brag about them."

Don't do it. They're all three eternally embarrassed by their father.

[fire_punk]

Non-biologically related children. Loki, you have such a complex way of putting things...

"So does that mean I'm your non-biologically related grandson?"

HONIR

[asgardsflight]

[sheloves]

As much as she has loved being a healer, it is not Sigyn that Ril is compelled to find, it is Honir. Words are not easy things, but she thinks carefully, as if she must say something even though she knows where she belongs. He has always been her favorite, there is much truth in that, but, too, they are of like mind. She searches his face for a long moment, her eyes bright with her ever present joy and curiosity. Time has made her calmer, but the joy and curious nature would never dim.

"There has been much time passed and none, Honir," she says quietly. Ril remembers the look on his face, the sorrow, and how she did not hesitate to give of herself when he needed it. Too, she remembers the hugs that had been granted when she needed them. The choice, for her, is as natural as the next breath.

"If I could ask to be in any House, it would be yours. There is so much joy to you and you are always there in a moment if and when you are needed. Your curiosity and your love of all, these are too much like my own for me to look anywhere but here."

She offers her hands.

"If you would allow it, I would be one of your own, for if there was a more fitting place for me to be, I have not yet seen it in any."

She has walked by all the others without a glance at them. There is just Honir, because he is what she had been, what she is in this moment, and what she will be in the many years she will have before her. Ril would have asked this of him quietly, seeking him out again if he had not been here. But, truth be told, she knew he would not miss this, just as she could not help but share in the laughter and spectacle of this event.

[asgardsflight]

Honir sits beside Mimir amongst the natives, far too delighted and amused by the proceedings in front of him. Little Loki and Tiny Thor always did have the greatest of bad ideas - but he was content to simply be a joyful onlooker as the proper Gods of Asgard fought for the Travellers' affections.

Ril's sweet words and heartfelt offer come as a full surprise, earning a soft little 'oh!' as he grips Mimir's leg in shock, asking 'can we do that?', 'is it allowed?', and generally shaking his exasperated partner for one panicked moment before leaping to his feet and taking her hands in his.

"Um!" he proclaims very eloquently, a deer in the headlights for another second longer before happiness spreads across his face like the first rays of sunlight bursting over the horizon. He squeezes her hands lightly, giving a small giddy laugh before simply throwing his arms around her in yet another adoring embrace. "I love you, Ril!"

Is it a yes? Is it a no? He hasn't quite thought that far yet, he's still stuck on sheer surprise and unbridled glee.

[sheloves]

"And I love you, too, Honir. So very much." It is said with no reservation, the joy of it like a bell ringing through her, and as his arms envelop her, her own settle around him. It is the most wonderful thing to surprise and delight a god like this. Ril knows it is a sight she will keep in her mind forever. Mimir will get his own hugs, too, in time, if she can coax him into it. She is patient, much more than she had been so long ago. For this moment she will hug Honir for as long as he wishes and let all her love and respect and joy burst from her like it ought.
