♔—- A soft frown tugged at Loki’s lips and his anger dissipated almost as quickly as it appeared. Loki wasn’t usually quick to rage and even if he was, he never showed it, but lately, it seemed like he had a harder and harder time clamping down on his emotions. Perhaps he’d just been doing that for so long that it all was bubbling to the surface under so much pressure? Still, he looked moderately ashamed of himself for lashing out in such a hostile fashion. That was hardly appropriate. Especially in the face of seeing the other man afraid of even wary of him, so much so that he took a step back just to get away from him.

“No. I’m sorry,” he murmured. “I didn’t mean to snap at you, I just–” He just what, exactly? “I don’t know. I guess I’m just not feeling much like myself these days. I shouldn’t have done that.”

Hey hey, I get it! I understand completely. 

> After all, you had rage contained within you as well. You just had a mask to keep it hidden, keep it under the surface. Maybe this would be a way to get back into his good graces? God, you hope so. How pathetic would it be to just have one friend? How pathetic would it be to have no friends at all? You think you might die if you lost the one person who you could connect to.

If you wanna talk about it, I’m here for you. You don’t have to be alone, you know?

I- I-

> You take a step back, averting your gaze. You can’t stand that angry look. You just want to help, even if it means hurting yourself. You just want to be around him. He’s so amazing and you have no words for him.

Yeah okay. I’m sorry.

> Your usefulness has run out, you guess.

useless ancient roman law facts

if you call someone to witness and they refused to show up, you are legally entitled to stand outside their house and scream, but only every third day

you can sell your son into slavery once or twice, but after the third time he doesn’t have to put up with that shit anymore

no wailing allowed at funerals

also you can only have ONE funeral per person, don’t get greedy

if your neighbor’s tree has a branch hanging into your yard, you can legally cut down the entire fucking tree

however, if some of your neighbor’s fruit from his dumb tree falls into your yard, he can legally come into your yard to snoop around get it

if you call someone to witness and they’re too sick or old to get to court themselves, you have to provide a cart for them to come in, but it doesn’t have to be, like, a nice cart if you don’t want it to

“Ignore all distractions.”

Are you talking about yourself or about me? Because I can tell you- I can be reeeeaaalllll annoying. Ask Dojima-san.

@trueaimedarrow from here

Hey, hey, hey, no need to get so hostile. I admit, calling you ‘no name’ and a kid may be a little harsh but new people wandering into Yaso-Inaba... that’s a sight you don’t see every day!

> You try to be as friendly as possible, and try not to scare him off. After all, things could always go south. Even as he sizes you up, you take in his appearance. 

> Statuesque, if you had to summarize him in a word. Regal, if you had to use another. Anachronistic, if you had yet a third. He looked like a ronin off of a historic drama, with the kyudo-gi and the hakama and the hair ribbon. All he was missing were his katana and wakazashi and a few retainers by his side. All in all, one who you should keep your eye on. But still- let him think you a fool. You had everyone fooled these days. You bow to him with your dopiest smile.

Adachi Jun, at your service Mister...?

A... Boy? And his... Dog?

AMATERASU.

“Ah… here is where we run into a bit of a complication.” She turned her head to a side and hid the lower half of her face. Shame clearly creased her brow, but she was trying to keep it hidden from him. “As you are probably aware, this is but a dream I invaded with my magics- small, but taxing. My form in the waking world is not suited to negotiating the rough waters of diplomatic alliances. You will have to do it for me as my proxy. Though… Now that I say it aloud, your people will probably find you mad.”

A definite problem, one of which she had no solution to. She could probably borrow some of his energy if he was willing to show her true form. They could make a blood pact, though she would rather not do that. Perhaps Yomigami or Moegami could be asked to give up some of their precious strength…? She didn’t want to do that either. That left whatever spells or cantrips or potions he could think of to allow her a human shape for a while. 

“But what is life if not found through hardships and strife? What are the point of friends and allies if we cannot help one another?” She held out her hand to his. “We shall think of a solution together. Or perhaps not. Perhaps you are as clever as a cat and will think of something all on your own.”

♔—- This was nothing more than a dream, wasn’t it? She said that she came to him while he was asleep and he guessed because she wasn’t able to appear to him in any other form, but how did he know that she was really there? This could have all been some sort of figment of his imagination, right? Something that his mind concocted in an attempt to entertain him or get his gears turning while he slept. This was an odd dream, even for him. He dreamed about exploring other realms, realms that he didn’t even know much about, but he’d never conjured up something like this.

He wanted to believe that this was real and that she was actually talking to him, but maybe he wasn’t? Maybe this woman wasn’t even real. How would he know? His knowledge of other realms and cultures was extremely limited given how little such information made it to Jotunheim.

“I can’t go to my people and tell them that I’ve met someone in my dreams,” Loki finally said, deciding it best not to immediately call her out for the prospects of not being real at all. “We’ll have to figure out a way around this inconvenience,” he added. “I will linger on this for a while, but what can I do to present you and your people if you cannot actually come here? I am a shape-shifter and I have an endless amount of magic, but I have to be able to prove that whatever I show my kin actually exists. Right now, I’m not entirely sure how to do that.”

[shakenjester]

"Rooki," she said, softly. "I am already with you. True, in a form that cannot speak and is not deemed intelligent by most... But with you nonetheless." Indeed, she was. Her form as a wolf- and as a dog- proved that. Though, he didn't know about that just yet. She worried her lower lip, frowning slightly as she did so. Best to swallow her pride now. They had come so far in such a short amount of time. Why stop there?

"Rooki, you claim to have an endless amount of magic yes? Would you be willing to allow me the use of it? It pains me to even ask this, and yet... to save our peoples, it must be done. If you are agreeable, I would be able to shift into this form in the waking world as well."

` a clown held the door open for me this morning. i thought it was a nice jester. `

“I don’t get it. Of course it’s a nice gesture.” Puns go over Jun’s head, unfortunately. English is not his native language.

      ` you’re sure?  honestly, it wouldn’t take long — `  jason follows obediently, keeps his arms close to his sides.  ( look — seven years of herbology taught him that carelessness in some of the greenhouses could cost a finger; you’d be lucky to get the missing digit back from the carnivorous plants at all. )  the tomato he accepts with a slightly surprised, grateful look, tossing it lightly between his hands for a moment.

      ` hmn.  you’ve got a good system going in here, then, `  there’s no snacking on the job in the defence department in the school — unless any of the other teachers were hiding chocolate biscuits around.  the chocolate supply was purely for the students, and the many and urgently needed pick - me - ups after emotionally draining lessons.

      ` so.  about that venemous tentacula.  how many do you currently have growing?  i don’t need an ENORMOUS one, per se, but it would be great if it was a very active one — `

“Ah... I don’t actually have any venemous tentacula growing at the moment. Third year Ravenclaws tried to experiment on them with... less than glowing results.” Aka, a few terrible spells and the entire crop was ruined for this year. Tragedy. He needed to keep a more careful eye on those Ravenclaws!

“However! Before your hopes get dashed-” he paused to look at a plant rather carefully, noting the way the leaves were laying in a tiny journal he kept almost literally up his sleeve. He nodded to himself before moving on, nearly forgetting what he was saying. “Ah- I have bred invenemous tentacula. Save for the spots near the base of the plant- and it being non-venemous of course- it’s identical to its cousin. The faerie pots from Wales are surprisingly close to the venemous tentacula biologically speaking. And I can’t wait to see what it’ll do when I breed that with some umegoshi! I need to make a trip back to Japan some day. Terrible, truly. I’m nearly out of matcha and I am definitely out of ramune and aloe drinks. At least the washi tape has lasted a surprisingly long time. Maybe over the summer? I could try for Christmas definitely, but I need to renew my passports, and it takes forever by owl...”

At this point, Jun was rambling as they neared the tentacula. He seemed to snap out of it when they did come to their destination, a row of potted plants with broad leaves and springy vines that never seemed to sit still. “Would you like a refresher on how to handle the tentacula Mr. Grace? Or will you astound me with your defensive prowess?” Either way, it would be a treat to watch.

@titanslayer answered your ask “Ah! Professor Grace. Come to help weed the greenhouse, or are you...”

“Please. Mr. Grace. I was kidding about the weeding part.” Obsessively, Jun checked the windows and doors where the charms had been placed. He had to, considering the only person who was closer to the forest was the Gamekeeper and well... He didn’t want to have anything eating up any of his plants or frightening his students or what have you. “And I would inform you the very second I thought the charms looked like they were beginning to fail. I wouldn’t keep it from you until it was too late. As to your problem...”

He made a motion that Jason should follow him, moving carefully through the ordered rows of pots and frames and plants and fruits. Jun couldn’t help but stop now and again to inspect and murmur a spell or two before moving on. He even picked two tomatoes right then and there, holding one out for Jason with a smile. “I graze as I work.”
