“I’m still your baby.” Astrid smiled as she stepped into the hug, wrapping her arms tightly around her mother and letting her head drop against the woman’s shoulder. “I missed you too.”

“You’ll always be my baby,” Sif muttered fondly, lips pressing briefly to the girl’s head before she pulled away. “As glad as I am to have you here, though, I am going to have to speak with your father.”

“I got many looks from the people in the palace. I didn’t feel comfortable. It was like everyone knew that I was part Jotun, even with out the blue skin.” Magni stated, rubbing the back of his head. “I don’t feel the people of Asgard would be fond either of a half jotun as a son of the Mighty Thor…”

“I’m sure they didn’t. They would have just seen someone new around, and been curious as to your identity.” Understandable, really, considering it was always the same faces seen day after day around the palace. Anyone new always stuck out like a sore thumb for a while. “Admittedly some of them would take some getting used to the idea. As I’m sure you know, there has been some bad blood between Asgardians and Jotuns in the past. Others are more forgiving, though, especially where your father is concerned.”

“I meant that most people aren’t as nice and trustworthy as you both, though after that boy I think I learnt that lesson…” Astrid shifted her gaze to stare at the floor, listening to her mother’s lecture with a quiet expression until eventually she finished. “I know and I’m sorry and I won’t ever use the Bifrost without your permission again and can we go back to the hugging part where you were happy that I’m here?” She begged, wide blue eyes staring up at her mother through her long lashes.

“Unfortunately, that’s true, and probably something we should have made you aware of sooner. I suppose we just didn’t want to pay attention to the fact that you’re growing up and developing an interest in dating.” It was a parent thing, she supposed. She sighed at Astrid’s words, finally opening her arms to invite her daughter into a hug. “I am happy to see you. It feels too long since I last got a chance to visit Asgard. I’ve missed you.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

“Oh. So most people aren’t like you and Daddy.” Astrid sighed as she realised that she was being taught a life lesson, one of many that she’d been taught by her family. At the mention of punishing Heimdall however, Astrid straightened up, looking up at her mother with wide eyes. “No, don’t. I made him do it, I’m the one you should be annoyed at, not him.” 

“So… Am I going to be sent home?”

“Darling, your father and I were not that young when we got married.” If anything, at that age he had still been what Midgardians would call a playboy, taking full advantage of the number of women swooning over him. “It took us a long time to get together. A very, very long time.” And they certainly hadn’t been each other’s first relationships, even if Sif knew that Thor had always been the one for her. As Astrid defended Heimdall, she sighed. “He still shouldn’t have done it. You may be royalty, Astrid, but his orders come from my father and yourself. He shouldn’t have given in to your demands.” That said, it was unlikely she would be too hard on him; at least Heimdall had made sure Astrid had landed near Sif, rather than somewhere further afield. “Not right this moment, no. But we do need to have a serious discussion about what you’ve done. And I’ll have to talk to your father.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

“He wanted to marry me so he could be Prince.” Astrid huffed, still annoyed with the stable hand that had attempted to use her, but the anger was slowly fading as she realised what she had done. “Heimdall sent me, I would’ve been fine. I was just so angry at him and I wanted to get away and I’m sorry and I’ll never do it again.”

“First, you are far too young to even be considering marriage,” Sif pointed out firmly. “Second, you’re a Princess, Astrid. I’m afraid he won’t be the last to attempt to crawl into your heart simply because of your title.” She wished it wasn’t so, and that people could be trusted more, but she’d seen it happen all too often with others of title and nobility. “Heimdall shouldn’t have sent you without consent from me or your father, and I’ll be having words with him about that. You cannot run from your problems, that won’t solve anything.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

Her mother’s commanding tone froze Astrid in her tracks, a chill going down her spine before she walked back to her Mom, head hanging down. “I may have, run away on impulse.” She admitted quietly, staring at the ground beneath her feet which were still adorned by her riding boots, telling of where she had been before. “There was this boy at home and he was a stable hand and lovely and I thought he genuinely liked me for me, not because I’m a Princess.” She explained quietly, feeling a lump grow in her throat as she started to tell the tale aloud.

The stern look Sif had been giving her daughter softened as the story unfolded, a soft sigh leaving her. “Darling,” she shook her head. “I know that must have been horrible,” it wasn’t a situation she had ever been in herself, but she knew a thing or two about the struggles of love. “But it’s not a reason to run away, especially not to another realm. Do you realise how dangerous that could have been?” 

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

There it was, the question that was doomed to send her back to Asgard. As panic flooded Astrid’s system, she looked around for a way to escape the question and quickly thought of something. 

“Is that Daddy?!” She asked, pointing in a random direction, hoping to distract her mother before she turned and ran in the opposite direction.

Arching a brow, Sif shook her head, not even bothering to turn around to look. “Nice try, young lady.” Having spoken to Thor just a few days previously, she knew he wasn’t going to be able to visit for some time. “Now, explain. And save both of us time by getting straight to the truth.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

“Same,” Astrid sighed, letting her head rest against her mother’s chest before she hesitantly pulled back. “But since you’re my favourite parent, you’re not going to ask why I’m here. Right?”

“Well, favourite parent or not, I’m afraid I’m somewhat obligated to ask you why you’re here.” Really, she would have asked sooner had she not been so happy to see the girl. “I thought we agreed that you were going to stay on Asgard until you were older?”

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck‌: 

“He’s your Husband….” Magni repeated, slightly shocked. All stories spoken on jotunheim never mentioned the god being married to someone else. “I did arrive a day earlier than planned… I just…well I didn’t feel like I fitted in on Asgard.”

“Yes,” she nodded, smiling in a way she hoped looked a lot less awkward than she felt. Telling someone that you were married to their dad wasn’t really the easiest of conversations to have, although neither was finding out your husband had children with another. “That makes sense, I suppose. Jotunheim and Asgard are vastly different, and with your father being who he is there, I can imagine you would have got a lot of attention.”

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck‌: 

“No, my twin Modi wanted to stay in Jotunheim to train.” Magni pointed out as he rubbed the back of his head once more. “He wishes to become a warrior where I wish to study.” Although opening a little more to the woman Magni was still a little hesitant to open up completely. “Y-you know my dad…. well? He called you to see him?”

"Ahh, I suppose that makes sense,” Sif nodded in understanding. “I’d have likely made the same choice if I were him. I always preferred being out training than stuck inside learning.” Much to the displeasure of her parents, more so her mother than her father. “I do. Your father... well, he’s my husband. I suppose he was planning to explain to me that you would be arriving, but you got here before he could.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌: 

“Mom.” A sigh of relief escaped Astrid’s chest as she raced towards her mother and threw her arms around the woman’s waist. “I missed you.”

“I missed you, too,” she smiled, wrapping her arms around her daughter and holding her tight for a moment. “I’m so glad you’re here.”

[asgardsladysif]

princessastridofasgard‌:

“I’m definitely not in Asgard anymore…”

“No, you’re not,” Sif shook her head, smiling reassuringly at her daughter. “But it’s not so bad here.”

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck: 

“Yes… Me and my brother are half Asgardian… Half frost giant.” He mumbled quieter than usual as his gaze fell for a moment. “Thank you however. I have visited two new realms to me in less than a few days. Navigating is a little more difficult than I assumed.” He words were gentle as he looked back up at the woman. “My father? His name is Thor.” The boy noted. “Although I do not know much about him.”

“Your brother hasn’t come here with you?” Families didn’t have to do everything together of course, but Sif couldn’t help but feel the transition from Jotunheim to Midgard would have been easier for the boy if his brother had been with him. “Well, don’t worry about asking people if you need help. I’m usually around myself, as well.” When he named his father, Sif realised exactly why the stranger bore such a familiarity. “I know him quite well,” she chuckled, eyes flickering momentarily to the ring she wore on her finger before she glanced back at the boy. “I can only assume your arrival here is why he has requested I return to Asgard to speak with him soon.”

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck:

The blonde simply shook his head. “I am not exactly from… Asgard.” Magni noted, rubbing the back of his neck. “My father is but well. I only saw him for the first time a couple days ago before he sent me here.” The boy was awkward talking about family and where he was from. Most Asgardians wouldn’t be a fan at the fact the boy was part frost giant. Doubtful anyone would be a fan. “I am from Jotunheim.”

“You’re part frost giant?” It wasn’t really a question, more a statement, but one she spoke without judgement. Life had long ago taught Sif that people couldn’t be judged based on such things as who their parents were, or where they came from. “Well, like I say, I’m sure you’ll figure things out, and there’s always people around to answer any questions.” Those who were used to coming to a new realm would be the most help, in her opinion, and she made a mental note to speak to her daughter and Haven to ask them to keep an eye out for the boy. “You say your father is from Asgard? Do you know his name?” 

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck:

Eyes followed to where she pointed in the complete opposite side that he came from. It cause the boy to pout. It was quite a similar sight to the pout that would sometimes come from his father. “I assume it is quite obvious.” He mumbled, looking up at the woman with a once more familiar sheepish grin. “I have only been in this realm for an… hour or so.”

The longer she looked at the boy, the more she found something almost recognisable in his face, though she was sure she hadn’t seen him around before. Smiling, she nodded at his words. “I’m sure you’ll figure things out here soon enough. Most people do, no matter where they come from.” Her head tilted slightly then, allowing her curiosity to get the better of her. “If you don’t mind me asking, where are you from? Most who come here from another realm are from Asgard, but I don’t recall seeing you there.”

[asgardsladysif]

lilthxnderstrxck:

Midgard was all new to Magni. He was so accustomed to the coldness of jotunheim that the warmth was actually a little overwhelming for the Half frost giant. 

Fanning himself using the papers he received from the vice director of the school The boy was becoming more lost by the moment in the heat of the Summer day. The boy had ended up travelling the complete opposite direction to where he was needed to go and just continued to wander until he found someone else. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than him. Walking up to the stranger the demi god cleared his throat. “Excuse me you can’t help me can you? I have lost my way to the place called the Dormitories”

The sudden heat Sif felt as she landed from the Bifrost was unexpected to say the least, and as she walked through the campus it was obvious that she wasn’t the only one. Students and staff who were still residing were clearly feeling the effects of the weather.

Pulling her hair back and using an elastic to secure it in place, keeping it off her neck, she turned as she heard a voice behind her. The person standing there was unfamiliar to her, and given his question it was easy to conclude that he was new, and not just to the academy.

“You see those buildings over there?” As she spoke, Sif extended an arm, pointing at the two dormitory buildings at the other end of the campus. “Those are the dormitories.” Everything else would be fairly self explanatory when he reached them, or at least she assumed so. “You’re new to this place, I take it?”

[asgardsladysif]

hollisticallyoptimistic:

“This is fun,” she mumbled to herself sarcastically. The blonde had been taking shots for the last hour, seeing as it takes a little more for her to reach even a slight state of intoxication on this world. She would never admit it but she felt a little lonely here, she didn’t have too many friends, and she often wasn’t all too nice to people, which is what brought her here, to a bar. “What are you looking at?” she turned to the person beside her whom she believed to be staring at her.

Sif’s brow furrowed as she witnessed the exchange, noticing the empty shot glasses in front of the blonde. Excusing herself from the company she had been with, she made her way over, uttering an apology to the person Katri had spoken to before pushing in between them, turning her body to the young Asgardian. “I think you’ve had quite enough to drink for one night.” Her tone was gentle, yet firm. “Why don’t we go outside and get some air?”
