No, it's more of a warhammer.

[noprophecies]

Oh! My apologies, of course. I am so used to - modern things that I forget there are those who use proper weapons. Though I've not seen a warhammer before . . .

[rebuildyourruins]

It's fine. The Atroma thought it funny to gift me with the other kind.

[He promptly threw the offending nail hammer into a wall. It wasn't very satisfying.]

Warhammers are much larger, with the heads being more substantial compared to the handle. Regular war hammers have longer handles than my own, as they are meant to be swung with both hands.

[noprophecies]

That's rude of them. I hope you told them off, as loudly as you could.

[that's how Tempest handles that stuff, anyway]

So you can swings yours with just one? You must be quite powerful.

[rebuildyourruins]

I did.

[Yelling at the sky is a pastime of his already.]

I am; it took a bit of practice to get right. But it is the exact right weight to do it that way.

[noprophecies]

The exact, hm? You must have quite a good blacksmith, then.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He smiles a bit, amused.]

They were at that.

My name is Thor.

[noprophecies]

I am Tempest. Well met, Thor.

[...] I would offer a hand to shake but as you can see, I am a little short-handed at the moment.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He looks at her arm again, then shrugs.]

No matter. I can shake your other hand.

[And he holds out his left hand. Problem solved!]

[noprophecies]

[she blinks a bit in surprise, then grins and holds out her left]

My joke went right over your head, didn't it.

[rebuildyourruins]

I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

[He reaches out and shakes her hand with a grin.]

So I took it seriously.

[noprophecies]

I suppose in a way it was both. [she shakes his hand, her own grin widening]

You are with the fleet, yes? Are you new?

[rebuildyourruins]

I am, on the Blue Fish. I suppose I am still new! It's been a few weeks now though, nearly two months.

[noprophecies]

Ah - so you were here for the cannibals then, yes? I would say surviving that doesn't make you new anymore.

[rebuildyourruins]

That was my start here, in fact. I arrived just days before the battle.

[He seems chipper enough about it.]

[noprophecies]

My, just in time for all the excitement.

[that doesn't seem strange to her at all]

[rebuildyourruins]

So it seems. It was an intense way to begin in this place, from what I've heard.

[noprophecies]

I would say that rather, it is simply bad timing. It is rare that we end up in situations like that. My own arrival was during a stop where we were on a planet that reminded me of my home.

[rebuildyourruins]

So I've heard. Everyone was at pains to tell me it wasn't normally how introductions go.

[noprophecies]

I can imagine. At the very least, now you know what it is normally like now.

[rebuildyourruins]

Strangely quiet snow worlds?

[noprophecies]

You have the strange part right, at least.
