Goddess's Day Out
Asleif continued to travel the world, occasionally rendering aide as she saw fit to those she saw fit to render it to. Which seemed all the more often these days. The world news was filled with reports of the odd mudslide which missed a village or a trail which stopped moments before a collision, and smaller, human interest stories of lost pets suddenly returning home.

But today was decidedly a day for herself, or at least, a day for friends, of which she had precious few.

She appeared in the lobby of the Fantastic Four's headquarters and informed the clockwork golem at the desk that she was here to see Vincent.

	He pops a piece of tuna into his mouth, chewing thoughtfully. "Even if I wasn't an active part of the team, I couldn't do what you're doing now. I can't imagine going it alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif took a bite of her own food, a small smile of satisfaction on her face. "I long ago accepted my role as the outsider. But I have wondered if that should not change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There are places you could make a home. I may be biased, but there is always Manhattan. Certainly Doctor Strange would be interested in discussions of Asgardian and Earthly magicks.

In the southeast, my own mentor, Jennifer Kale, is currently relieved from the 'burden' of my own education as well." He smirks. "Don't let her lack of 'press' fool you. She's an exceptional sorceress."

He thinks over other options. "You served admirably with the Defenders, I understand. There are any number of other heroic organizations within this country alone that could benefit from your aid."

	She shakes her head. "I've little desire to join another team so quickly. I left my own in quite capable hands." "But I am not so loathe to bring down the walls I had built." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent nods. "I wish you the best... and I would think to see you less sparsely." He smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would also like to see you more often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles, refilling both of their glasses. "I believe that can be arranged, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And perhaps more of you, in that more often, Asleif thinks, though she keeps that thought to herself. Asleif chuckles at that. "You have no idea how good it is to know someone who possesses more planning skills than "wade it and attack it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In fairness, hat has its time and place, but I do prefer the softer touch when possible. Unfortunately, robots and differently-minded creatures have little in the way of senses to confuse. I've become a fair hand at the more... shall we say uncultured schools of the craft." Vincent responds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've no problem with direct solutions," Asleif agrees. "But when those solutions are tempered with little thought, then I have issues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahh, I see. That's an understandable perspective." Vincent finishes up his main course and orders a dish of fried green tea ice cream. "So where have you been lately in your travels?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A little of everywhere, truthfully, though I have spent much time in the Scandinavian countries." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hm. It's been quite a while since I've been there. If you avoid warmer climes, Japan is excellent during the winter. They have very charming snow festivals." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh?" Asleif asks. "I admit, my knowledge of that area of the globe is rather slim... But it sounds most fascinating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-21 03:08 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "It's a very lovely country. Tokyo is as active an urban center as Manhattan, but it has a more stronger presence of historical culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-21 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm," Asleif muses. "Japan, correct? Their pantheon is not always especially well regarded, in truth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-21 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"Their functionaries are somewhat different than those we'd be more familiar with, such as the Olympians, but they are no less formidable in their own right. The way the country segregates the historic from the modern is nothing short of astounding." Vincent nods sagely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Amatsu-Mikaboshi is a most foul creature," Asleif elaborates. "They are not quite as aggressive as the Egyptians or the Celtic when it comes to meddling in others affairs... but still." She nods. "Too many cultures look only to their past, without realizing the future." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-21 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"Have you dealt with the creature?" Vincent inclines his head curiously. "Truth be told, the incidents in Asgard and Lemuria are the most contact I've truly had in divine goings-on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shakes her head. "Not personally, but I heard tales of an assault upon Olympus many years ago. It was said he threatened Ares' child." Asleif has little use for the Olympians, but threatening a child is simply not done, no matter where they come from. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah." Vincent scowls. "Distasteful, and foolish besides." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-21 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Asleif agrees. "It simply makes me cautious about entering their lands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-21 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Understandable." He pauses, then smiles. "Of course, you need not go alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh? Is that an offer, Vincent?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 01:26 am UTC (link)
	He smiles, closing his eyes as he spreads his hands and lowers his head. "A promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
