Glares at his scribe. Put my replies in the right place, woman.

He gives her a fond smile. His mother is ... wonderful. "She taught me much as well." For a second, he surrounds them with duplicates of himself, before making them all disappear again. "We speak the truth."

I am trying, my love. I am trying.

He shakes his head. "Not that one." He is rubbish at explaining things to children without sounding arrogant. " @sigynsetfree.bsky.social , can you explain this to him?"

"I take it you have never heard of gods?"

"I have been alive for centuries, to me, you are a child. It is not an insult."

Child, my parents left me to die in the snow because I was too small. I am adopted.

My wife is hot.

He narrows his eyes. Sigyn on the other hand...he can not speak for her. She can make a Valkyrie look tame.

A little. He should be petrified.

He stands just behind her. Waiting. She may be the gentle Sigyn, but there is a fire within her. Her child is threatened and not even the warriors of Valhalla can match what she will unleash.

Mother is angry. No one can reason with her when she is angry. Not even if I am angrier.

Sigyn!!!! 'They have another!'. Did you hear that?!?! 👈is about to revert to all of the worst behavior he has ever exhibited!!

Feeling attacked. Or seen. Or called out. All 3.

Does 'your' human not have free will? Has 'your' human been forthcoming with my son? Perhaps 'your' human is the one you should be taking this up with.

Touch. My. Son. You will be obliterated.

Had better get a job.

He blinks. He is not exactly the best father material, but she is an outstanding mother. They can, but she had best run point on this endeavor.

Ah. Well, if he can help, he will. Otherwise, he offers other .. erhm her, his best wishes.

"That will not do at all, my Love. Surely there is some where he would feel more comfortable sleeping?"

Don't do that! Your head is lovely! Also-that will hurt!

Woman. Another reason he adores her.

You enjoy chaos?

There is a lot to unpack in his brain and in his past, so she has her work cut out for her. "That is all I have ever wanted for you." ...and to keep her safe, and to treat her like the most precious jewel. "Now, can you teach me to speak Váli?"

👈feels attacked. Or seen. Or both.

👀

He laughs softly before turning his head to catch her lips in a kiss. Resting his forehead against hers, he murmurs. "We both know you are far better than I ever hope to be." Pulling her into his arms, he sighs. "That does not mean that I will never stop striving to be worthy of you."

"You are far more than I deserve." How has this lovely goddess chosen him? Him of all that she could have had? "I will try. I do not want him to turn from me if he can not perform magic. I love him because he is our son."

"You both see what I aspire to be, not who I am." He is burdened with shame, and regrets. He has done many things his son should never know about.

"Why???? Has he not heard about me? I am the last ... no! Sigyn. I am the worst role model!"

Ah. Of course I want him there regardless. I wasn't even thinking about magic.

Are you sure? He thinks I want him to go away. I want him to stay.

Sigyn, help. I'm bombing at the Dad thing...

His brow furrows. Is he 'giving off that vibe', as the young on Midgard say. "No. I did not mean to make you feel as if you were." He clasps his hands. "I want you to want to be around me. I want you to feel comfortable."

He squeezes his shoulder bracingly. "Theroux is an astute choice." He knows there is far more than the author that led Váli to choose that book. "She was genuinely kind to you. It is not a bad thing to miss her." He is unused to spending time with his son, but he wants to be afforded more time-

He is the king of disappointments. That is a lot to live up to. Or live down to. Again, do not fear.

My son, do not fear me.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looks at his son. He can feel how nervous he is, and it pains him to know he feels this way. Holding his breath, he reaches out and ever so lightly brushes a stray lock back from Váli's forehead, before dropping his hand to his shoulder and leaving it there.

👈Does not bite.

Look, I can be awful. But I love her.

//Whatever you are comfortable with. If Stark needs to confront his demons, or ... I'm cool with whatever.

Does not remember deleting what he left for Angrboða. Mischief not of his making must be afoot.

Holding the threads of time with my questionable, but capable hands. Weaving it all back together, and perhaps myself, too. #SmutFree #MV/#MS with @isdrottning.bsky.social @sigynsetfree.bsky.social

Someone needs to shake them both. There is so much more between them, but they are both too fearful to admit it. No. He has not had a pleasant day, and even though he will lie to others, he does not wish to lie to her. "It is much nicer now." With her, here. "You always make everything much-

Covering her hand with his, he carefully hands her down the steps before leading her towards Frigga's gardens. It seems they both are in tandem in the holding back and hiding department. "I trust the mood has improved? Is there anything I can do to help?" If he told her of his own heart, would -

Not clairvoyant, or a seer...but I see bad things in store for me...

He holds out an arm to her. Loki always feels different around Sigyn. Protective. More gentle. "Is there something I should do then?" He has been careful, unsure of why she seems to hold back with him. Hence, he is more reserved than the norm. Hurting her is something he wishes to avoid.
