 I wouldn't get close to me.

long time no see XD

[alchemic_waves]

You know you keep saying that.

I don't think you mean it. [Con smirks a little as she watches him carefully]

[serpentinesorceress]

Is that a word of caution or a shred of self pity?

[brotherhoodeirk]

[Erik eyes the woman carefully. His hand slowly coming up ready to attack if he needs to.]

That depends on the person listening I suppose. Who are you?

Hi there!

[brotherhoodeirk]

[Erik stops gathering wood and glares at her.]

And why is that?

[serpentinesorceress]

Merely a curious passerby.

[brotherhoodeirk]

[He frowns.]

Really? You speak as if you know me?

[serpentinesorceress]

In a way, I suppose I do. I know more about you than I think you'd like me to.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Then you are not randomly passing by....and that metal you are wearing is not from Earth. So get to the point before I attempt to kill you.

[serpentinesorceress]

"Attempt" being the key word. I told you, I'm curious. Such a fascinating gift you have, is it not?

[brotherhoodeirk]

You are the first stranger to consider it so dear lady.

[serpentinesorceress]

Possessing several fascinating gifts myself, I have learned to appreciate them where others do not.

[alchemic_waves]

Because if you did mean it, you'd make me leave.

[She kneels to help.] Let's face it you'd get bored without me too. [She knows she should play it safe, but really, he doesn't scare her as much as he probably should.

[brotherhoodeirk]

It would be quiet I'll give you that.

[Erik is joking of course because he knows she is right. Without her he would be bored and might have gone crazy months ago.

[brotherhoodeirk]

And what are your gifts...impressive I assume.

[alchemic_waves]

[She gives a mock pout at that.]

I'm quiet... mostly, like a door mouse. [Hey she tries to be. That counts right?] Besides no one should be alone. It's a scientific fact that being alone is actually bad for your mental health.

[serpentinesorceress]

Oh, I've plenty of them. My real talent is found in sorcery.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Interesting......what drew you to magic?

[serpentinesorceress]

Like you, it was merely something I was born with. And, like you, some people choose to persecute me for me.

[brotherhoodeirk]

So we have something in common after all...how interesting.

[serpentinesorceress]

Kindred spirits, one might say.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Indeed.......and yet I still do not know your name.

[serpentinesorceress]

Ah. That is rather awkward, isn't it? Loki is what they call me.

[brotherhoodeirk]

[Erik laughs.]

Loki....as in the god of lies?

[serpentinesorceress]

The god of many things, "lies" only just begins to scratch the surface.

[brotherhoodeirk]

So my mother said....she told me many of the old myths in my boyhood.

We had little else to do then.

[serpentinesorceress]

Myths are subjective. Half truths passed down by Odin to seers to steer the world his way.

[brotherhoodeirk]

[Erik chuckles.]

History is written by the winners.
