His day of patrols ended, Sigurdur entered the hall to eat. The days patrols were uneventful, for which he was somewhat glad. Still, he remembered the stories told by his father's companions and wondered often what life on Midgard was like. How did the humans live knowing so little about the world around them?

He was not a philosopher, but he often thought upon such things when he had the time.

Filling a plate, he found a table and sat down, eating silently as he thought more on what Midgard must be like.

"She battles diseases with no magic? Interesting. I art not trained in the healer's art, but I respect those that are. I wonder if Midgard sicknesses are comparable to any we hath seen?" Sigurdur questions.

Hjordis words catch him a bit off-guard, however.

"Starry...Twilight?" Sigurdur asks, one eyebrow raised suspiciously. "What battles hast this band fought in?"

"Many of them are utterly unlike any of Asgard," Douglas assures him, but then...

"They art a band of musicians, good Sigurudur. And no match for the skalds of Asgard or e'en of Scotland. With all respect to the fair Eleanor, who is valiant and of good family, they are, as many friends of Mummy's might express, lousy." He looks to Sigurdur. "This ist not because they art in truth infected with insects, but used to show that they hath the same worth as those that careth for themselves so little." Pause. "Also, the name ist not literal either. Twilight on Midgard ist not particularly Starry."

	"They art not bad," Hjordis said. "I hath listened to some of their music whilst spending some time with Ellie. In between our adventures of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Humans art strange creatures, indeed." Sigurdur says, pondering their words. "What of the food of Midgard? How doth it compare to Asgard?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's good and a wide variety of different kinds," Hjordis said. "I art most fond of ice cream and pizza." A pause. "And chocolate. Lady Sif wast most correct when she said chocolate is truly amazing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fare thee well, Hjordis Volstagsdottir, and thee, Douglas Hrimharisson." Sigurdur says, returning to his meal. Yes, he was looking forward to seeing Midgard. (Reply to this)(Parent)
