Network - VIDEO - closed to Thor (Elissa's learning!)

[djinnigenie]

[The young woman on the image wears a grave expression and seems to be quietly determined. Her spoken words are more like a letter than an actual conversation.]

Thor.

I have seen you working for the past few days. Is there a time when it would be convenient for us to speak face-to-face? You are owed an explanation and an apology and so much more.

Please give me a chance to speak with you?

I would be most grateful.

Your humble servant,
Elissa Cousland

[Elissa lowers her voice to a whisper as she takes a step closer to Thor.]

Kozmotis. He is my watch guard. He volunteered for the duty because he did not like the way that Haruka and Tony spoke to me.

[She lifts her voice again, expression wearied.]

Frustration seems to be a daily thing in Verdana. In more than one way. I am very glad that you are being so kind about all of this, I truly am. In a way, aside from my apparently murderous tendencies, I find you and I have a kinship of sorts. I have a feeling we come from similar backgrounds.

[loveshishammer]

Oh?

[Thor can't help but be curious, there, and he cocks his head at her. And because he isn't that great with coming up with similarities on the fly, he goes with:]

You are warrior daughter of an Asgardian king? Or, I suppose a king of any sort. There is only one Asgardian king, after all, and I believe I would know if I had a sister.

[djinnigenie]

I am the daughter of the Teryn of Highever in Ferelden - a title second only to the king. In fact, my father was almost chosen to be king at the Landsmeet after the death of King Maric since the king's own son was still young.

My family also has the blood of King Calenhad the Great who united the Claynes tribes into a single nation and was the first king of Ferelden, so we also carry the Theirin bloodline the same as Maric's descendants.

[loveshishammer]

It appears we do have something in common, then!

[And no wonder she didn't think to get a job. She, too, has apparently never had one! Thor smiles, sympathetic but also a bit amused.]

What a strange thing, to meet another of royal blood in such a place as this. You must feel quite out of place, indeed.

[djinnigenie]

[That causes Elissa to warmly laugh and her face eases into a wry smile.]

I have felt rather out of place for longer than I have been in Verdana.

[She says it like it is a country rather than a planet. IN Verdana rather than ON it.]

Thor of Asgard, would it be terribly inappropriate for you to be hugged by someone who attempted to murder you?

[loveshishammer]

[Thor blinks at her, then answers with a bright smile.]

Of course not, Lady Elissa! I am quite fond of hugs, and as I do not believe you are trying to murder me now, I have no qualms with your offering.

[And he even helpfully opens his arms so she can come do it, too.]

[djinnigenie]

[Something akin to relief chases over Elissa's features before she steps up to wrap her arms about Thor's torso in a tight, needy hug. Despite everything, here is likely the one person who is not going to hold a grudge and she is so relieved by it that it almost brings tears to her eyes. This man, unlike the womanizing Cailan, is truly good-hearted and worthy of respect.]

You have won an ally for life with your forgiving heart, Your Highness. I shall not forget.

[There is nothing untoward at all about her embrace. It is simply a hug full of affection and she is grateful to find someone else who isn't afraid of such displays.]

[loveshishammer]

[She should be glad she didn't meet him a year ago, before his exile to Earth. He was a lot more immature, back then. He settles his arms around her, back, as warm and comforting as he can manage. While he has a lady of his own, he still is quite fond of hugs, particularly when they make someone feel better.]

There, now. It is a small thing, Lady Elissa. Though I am glad to give you relief in the matter.

All the little sister feels!

[djinnigenie]

[Elissa gives him one last squeeze and eases back from Thor to look up at him with a smile. He may be one of the best looking men she has ever seen, but something about his forgiving attitude toward her and that hug really reminds her of her brother Fergus and that reminder prompts a similar fondness for Thor.]

I have taken up enough of your time, but I am so very glad that we had this talk. Thank you for coming and for being so understanding.

it's cute X3 Thor's adopting more people yay!

[loveshishammer]

[Patting her shoulder lightly-- well, mostly lightly; he has a heavy hand, rather accidentally-- Thor smiles down at her.]

It is my pleasure! Take care, all right? Perhaps we can visit again another day.

XD

[djinnigenie]

[She steps back from him, certain he will leave in the same manner that he arrived - and quite aware that she doesn't want to be near Mjolnir when he begins to swing it.]

I would like that very much. Be well, my friend!

[loveshishammer]

[Thor steps back, as well, back out into the rain, and he sweeps a courtly bow for her before scooping up his hammer.]

Farewell, Lady Elissa!

[And then he's off, with Mjolnir swinging into a rapid circle and carrying him up into the sky. There's a good splash when he takes off, too.]
