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.

	"Hmm," Asleif muses. "Japan, correct? Their pantheon is not always especially well regarded, in truth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"One I shall hold you to," Asleif says, with a smallish smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't expect otherwise, nor should you expect me not to be true to my word." There is a sobering moment, as memories come back to him. "Not after what I've already done..." He mumbles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"You have been my friend, Vincent. Whatever else you believe you have done, remember that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"It has been my pleasure and honor, Asleif." He pours the last of the carafe into her cup and finishes his dessert. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 02:34 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "The pleasure and honor are mine, Vincent. I shall not forget the kindnesses you have shown me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 03:00 am UTC (link)
	"Of course you won't. I charge by the hour, and you've been running up quite a TB." He smiles impishly as he spoons up the last of his ice cream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 03:33 am UTC (link)
	She chuckles at that. "However shall I pay this enormous charge then...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"Well, firstly, I'm glad you're not off-put by this new revelation that I am apparently a man of ill-refute." He grins as he signals for the check. "And in response to your question, I do not limit my expectations of your own imagination. Covering the cost of food and drink at the snow festival should suffice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"I believe all that and more can be arranged." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Vincent passes on the easy joke (it would be a joke, correct?), and pays for their meal. He stands and helps Asleif up when she seems ready to go, escorting her outside. "It was good to see you, Asleif. I will look forward to the party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-22 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"I shall be counting the days, Vincent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-12-22 04:12 am UTC (link)
	He smiles and nods, giving her a brief hug, before wandering off down the street. (Reply to this)(Parent)
