Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.

            ❝   Sleep, you are lord of all the blessed gods and mortal men, and of every living creature the broad earth nurtures, for you alone are master of all and you visit all, binding their bodies with fetters unforged. You free us of cares, and, offering sweet respite from toil, you grant holy solace to our every sorrow. You save souls by easing them into the thought of death, since to Death and Oblivion you are a true brother.   ❞

            STILL STUNNED BY THE GODDESS’ PRESENCE, she found it hard to talk, timbre airy and light and more like a whisper as if she were afraid her normal tone would engender MORE of a disturbance,  ❝ As far as I know, they’ve always been restless around here — my guess is they feel STUCK, trapped… unable to pass over. Can we help them in any way?  With YOUR guidance, something like that should be possible, right? ❞  How she hoped it so, faith strong due to holding Hekate in such HIGH regard like any good medium would do.

             ❛  it’s not like it can get any WORSE.  ❜  a silver lining amidst hopeless distractions; were they not a catch? did they not deserve just the smallest ounce of respect?  ❛  i’d ask him for you, but he gets defensive in a matter of seconds, so. you’re probably the only one who is eligible to ask directly.  ❜  yenna had lost count of how many rounds she had poured, but what else was ichor good for? leaning back, she sighed while succumbing to this immortal cycle of what-ifs and make-believes; at least alma was right there accompanying her on the ride.

            ❝ IF THAT’S TRUE, this must be rock bottom. ❞  Her head buzzed and hummed and rang, the small amount of alcohol already taking its qualmish effect. Divinity and TOLERANCE apparently didn’t go hand-in-hand.  ❝ I really appreciate the offer, but you’re right — It’s something I have to take care of on my OWN. Basically, if you never hear from me after today, just assume I’ve buried myself six feet under, for like… eternal hibernation. ❞  Hyperbole; in reality, she’d be curled up with her head in Yenna’s lap, FLOODING the world with hot tears, and then, when they were all drained, Alma would accept the aftermath for what it was and move on as life demanded.  ❝ What about you?  Any plans to TACKLE the Grim situation…?  I remember you saying it was complicated. ❞

     leaving the comfort of four walls only to venture out into the public didn’t sound appealing at all, but he welcomed the distraction. hopefully the frozen treat would lift his spirit, if not then perhaps brighten his day. “ do you think they’ll let me get one scoop of every flavor? ” not that he would actually order it, of course, but the idea of an ice-cream tower amused him. “ we’re only getting ice-cream, right? no detours or anything like that. ” he had heard thana’s dreadful stories about malls and clothing stores, neither of which he wanted to visit. 

            ❝ UH... MAYBE?  You’re a handsome guy, so I can’t imagine them telling you no or anything — plus, it would give them something to talk about for an ENTIRE week. Definitely more fun than handing out single scoops of plain ol’ vanilla. ❞  Alma could write an entire book about strange customer requests; people were EXTREMELY, unequivocally particular when it came to their coffee.  ❝ — That’s the plan. Why?  Do you want to go somewhere after?  The rest of my day is FREE, so… ❞  She left it at that, open-ended, figuring he deserved the opportunity to speak up in protest if he so desired — it suited her just fine, letting him choose how to spend what hours of LEISURE remained.

One of the most beautiful things we can do is to help one another. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing.

           ❝ —— and do not ever forget. ❞ The mere thought of possibly having to perform damage control once again left the skald stirred to his core. Her response was the reassurance he needed in order to let the matter rest, notebook tucked away after a few alarming scribbles for reminders.  ❝ Whether they are fans or not hardly matters; as long as they stay out of a reasonable range of trouble, I am perfectly content.  ❞ Which proved itself a lot harder for tricksters and reapers alike, it seemed. Upon further scrutiny of the redhead, Bragi raised a brow in entertainment at her derailing train of thought.  ❝ You surely have a point, miss. I tend to find myself chin deep in melodramatics, but nothing a nice vacation cannot fix. ❞

            NODDING VIGOROUSLY, Alma held her right pinky up, words affirmative,  ❝ I won’t. Promise. ❞  At least he seemed appeased; if the vikings were as FEROCIOUS as media portrayed them, their gods must be even more savage — the last thing she wanted to do was anger him, especially since he looked like he could BREAK her in half with his bare hands, or worse: use his written talent to DRAG her through the mud, like Loki had apparently done to everyone in Lokasenna. Yikes.  ❝ Ah, well… Thanny tends to mind his own business MOST of the time, so you probably don’t have to worry about him too much!  But… ❞  she started, voice lowering just slightly,  ❝ I’ll try to keep him in CHECK, just in case. ❞  For a second the girl’s mind started to wander, picturing him in olden attire, leathers and furs adorned with animal bones and river-washed rocks that shined like GEMS, a lengthy, braided beard, and a lyre in his hand; akin to artwork she’d seen in one of her history books.  ❝ — Are you on vacation right NOW? ❞

          ❛  —— just tell him.  ❜  confessed with the shot hovering before her lips, only for the clear liquid to find its way down her throat in one bitter quaff; anything to outlast this confidentially crestfallen sleepover.  ❛  at least you guys have a chance, the sooner you find out the better.  ❜  her normally passive self had washed down with the rice liquor, replaced by a much more assertive fox with nothing to lose ( which was more or less false for the both of them ). nonetheless, it was a true blessing how the two could join each other in their misery, honesty no longer off the table.

            ❝ MAYBE A 5% CHANCE, and that’s being generous… ❞  Better to lowball it, than have hopes as high as the sky — pessimism was not a characteristic Alma usually exhibited, but for some reason this MESS of emotions, so overwhelming and persistent, left her viewing the glass half-empty. That and she suddenly felt the need to indulge in one of Yenna’s seven shots, the soju BURNING as it cascaded down her throat, face distorted with instant regret over its off-putting taste. Hard to swallow, just like her predictions for the future.  ❝ It can’t possibly go WELL, can it?  Everything will end up awkward and sad, and he’ll never want to speak to me again, and I’ll wish I’d never spilled my heart out, and Aphrodite will LAUGH at the way she’s cursed me— ❞  She could go on and on, like a slippery slope, yet managed to contain herself for the vixen’s sake.
