𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐘, 𝐇𝐄'𝐃 𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐉𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆. he hadn’t actually believed she’d just slide them over without a fight. thor’s brow might pique with the shock of it all, but he’s also not about to turn them down, once offered. free food’s free food. really, it’s basically a blót. whatever had been left of his burger’s now gone, anyway, and he’s just as soon picking at her fries in much the same way she’d been. one or two —— in between words.
❝ fuck, i hope not. ❞ not that he knows a single thing about her mom. he can just as easily pick up the basics, though. ❝ sounds like a real asshat. ❞ he repeats, a sloping smile worming its way to the dimple in his cheek. and he looks to her, then, eye to eye, question to question. ❝ so, you gonna tell me about this dream? ❞
❛ I’m talking massive. ❜ Yellow nails flash as she stretches her hands wide, nearly as wide as the man himself. But she wasn’t here to discuss the sheer asshattery of her mother, that doesn’t matter. The dream does. Arjana leans in, and lowers her voice for him alone.
❛ Last Saturday, I was laying in my garden relaxing with the warmth of the sun. I didn’t intend on sleeping, still, when I opened my eyes again everything was on fire with you in the middle. ❜ She stares at him now, keeping eye contact while she brought up the memory. ❛ It started with my grass, each blade was turned into ash moving from my flowers, to my house, to me. Until it circled around you. I don’t know if you were screaming. ❜
Her sun hat resumes sliding down her face except now she doesn’t attempt to set it right.
❛ I think something snapped and flashed and then it rained forming around your body like armor. You no longer looked as you do now, there was no warmth or friendliness. Just anger, fear, and uncertainty. Something wasn’t okay; the fire started again licking at your heels. ❜ The woman pauses, reaching for a fry she didn’t even want. ❛ I don’t know how long we stood there but it felt like hours with nothing but rain and repeating fires. A cycle. Finally, something broke, ❜ Her focused expression went back to her joyful one, and Arjana leaned back into her chair.
❛ Everything moved differently, what was once destroyed by fire became something new. The flowers that were once tulips became daffodils, the grass was shiner, even my house was different. You though, you stopped looking like a drowned rat, you were smiling and at peace. Like you accepted what happened... ❜ She trails off, fixing her hat and chewing down another fry. ❛ I don’t think it was a bad dream, just one that showed change, something good is going to head your way. You might be grumpy, mad even, but it will be a good change at the end. ❜ Playfully she holds out her slightly salt covered hand, ❛ That’ll be one milkshake, please! ❜
