KITE FLYING!

...what do you mean, there's something more important to do? Oh yeah, the mist. Sure, have fun with your despair hallucinations, I guess.]

Comments

[outstandingbalance]

It's... complicated. Not entirely sure. [She has to admit that.] The way sometimes we remember more things, or people come from different times.

But it does seem like we don't miss anything.

[rebuildyourruins]

It seems that way. In my own experience nothing seemed to happen without my being there.

[His brow furrows as his general unease with the idea returns to the surface, even if it's much diminished now.]

What I saw in the mists was the ship my people are travelling on, only empty. As though something had happened only I didn't know what.

[outstandingbalance]

That sounds very stressful. [Like a nightmare.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[A nightmare or a deep, dark fear. They're essentially the same. And while he was shaken out of the hallucination, it stirred worries that Thor tends to keep as battened down as he can. There's little he can do about them while he's here. That makes it worse.]

At the least it only lasted for five minutes. [His lips twitch into a half-hearted smile.] But it worries me all the same. The not knowing.

[outstandingbalance]

Not knowing is always hard. Sometimes the hardest part.

[rebuildyourruins]

Yeah. And I don't much like it being used against me the way this mist did.

[outstandingbalance]

No, I wouldn't think so. I'm sorry you had to go through it.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He simply shakes his head, though he grateful for the concern. Speaking of it is never comfortable. There are some concerns that are a king's alone, and this he feels is one of them. But he's a long way from being able to do anything about those worries, with the constant pressure needing some kind of outlet. This helps, in a small way.]

Well, if my experience helps you avoid having one of your own, I'll consider it worthwhile. I did find something strange though, further into the mists.

[outstandingbalance]

Stranger than visions? [Because that is fairly strange to start with.] What did you find?

[rebuildyourruins]

A hammer. Clearly from the same forges that Mjolnir was made in. But it isn't one I've ever seen before.

[outstandingbalance]

You mean a real one. Not another vision? [This seems worth clarifying.]

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh, it's real. I have it in my room. What bothers me is where it came from.

[outstandingbalance]

So we're getting gifts again. [Not the first time, but that doesn't make it trustworthy.] What does it mean?

[rebuildyourruins]

I'm not certain. Nami suggested to me that it could be something I get in the future in our own universe. [He rests his chin on his fist, not entirely satisfied by the idea.] I don't know to what purpose, though. I have more important things to do than go to Nidavellir and ask for a new weapon.

[outstandingbalance]

If there's one thing that we can say about recent events, it's that there's no use trying to predict what's going to happen next.

[Which isn't reassuring.]
