" Obviously I love him, he's my Dad, " not quite sarcasm, but just as dry and lacking the usual conviction; as though a rehearsed line she has long become tired of.

𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐘 . . . rolling His eyes at the lackluster and rather hollow answer to His prodding. after a moment, He shifts. twists in His barstool to face her as He leans down a bit -- drink still in hand.
❝ 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊, you don't have to bullshit 𝙼𝙴, won't work anyways. I was 𝘓𝘐𝘛𝘌𝘙𝘈𝘓𝘓𝘠 𝘔𝘈𝘋𝘌 to study people, behaviors, expressions and 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 when they're lying to my face. what 𝘐'𝘔 more interested in is why you're still half-way bothering to bullshit 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅. ❞

❛ it was downright creepy, ❜ 'tis but an off-handed remark from darling scout, nay weight to words that she uses to describe a small Bourgeon, despite the tension refusing to leave her shoulders. @synthwealth
dark eyes wash over the other as lune assessed for damage, wounds (physical or otherwise). anything that could slow them down... and affect scout, of course. obviously. a silent chide to herself to care more about the people and less about the mission -- gustave's voice in her head. the corner of her mouth lifted into a half smile, nose scrunching up as eyes flickered over to the now lifeless body of the nevron.
"it wasn't like the other one -- the one that wanted to GROW. this one was just hostile. i wonder what makes that difference... what could make the nevron CHANGE." a hand lifted, fist tucked under her chin as the scientist within her ignited and observed. if only she had the time to study the physiology or had the ability to cut one open to look at its INSIDES. a pause. back to reality. "are you alright?" she finally asked, a bit ashamed that it took her that long to but also genuinely CONCERNED.

❛ If you're real,❜ darling phoenix begins with an almost lazy tone, ❛ what about that whole ending of the world thing the Norse got going on ? ❜ as though naught but stray thought, and yet 'pon its edges sits an uneasy curiosity she quickly buries under light humor. ❛ 'cause if there's gonna be a giant dog tearing down buildings, I'd like a head's up. ❜
❝ your concern is with the midgardians, my concern is asgard. ❞ she says, covering up the scheme in place. there was much going on at once; plots & plans in the works. ODIN had his own ideas - wishing to unleash a hel-hound on the world, letting it destroy everything in it's path. though, LOKI would work on the backend, making sure that plan never saw the light of day. his father was quick to make up his mind; even more stubborn to when it came to listening to the words of his children. THOR had been locked up, simply for disagreeing with the sentiment. but - LOKI was smarter than such, not voicing his disagreement out loud, but rather making a scheme in the back of his mind.
❝ worry not about the hounds of hel, i shall take care of them. ❞ the words may have sounded a lie from the trickster's mouth; unable to tell what was fiction & what was true. but ... the hel - hound sounded like a darling pet. something that he could have kept for himself. no chance, would he let it rain hell upon midgard; killing most of civilization in the process. there had to be a better way, something that could keep them from wiping out an entire mortal race.
I’M TIRED OF BEING THE BIGGER PERSON. IT’S LONELY UP HERE AND THE VIEW ISN’T EVEN WORTH IT. @synthwealth
oh, poor thing. what a horrible non-issue to be not actually dealing with. it must have been difficult to ... even within the safe space of her own mind rogue couldn't come up with a comment quite sarcastic enough to fully articulate just how ridiculous the other had come across, so proud of herself with those empty words, seemingly confident in her right to spout woe is me complaints ( about something which she had brought on herself. )
head cocked to the side, eyes would remain on painted nails and trimmed cuticles as rogue paid little mind to the young woman at her side, speaking up only once pointless yammering had ( thank god ) ceased. " are you finished? "
THAT’S NOT THE WORST THING I’VE EVER HEARD, BUT IT’S DEFINITELY IN THE TOP TEN ─── AND I’VE BEEN TO FAMILY DINNERS. @synthwealth
a laugh: subtle. under her breath. most likely unheard even to those who may have been waiting for it. it wasn't the response rogue had been expecting ( though what, if anything, she had been expecting was a mystery even to rogue herself ) which was what made vik's sparks' response oh so close to being genuinely amusing. it wasn't every day that a horror story was met with a little quip about uncomfortable family meals, after all.
in quick succession ── iced swirled inside of glass, a drink downed in one go, the smell of nasturtium filling the air as hair was flipped from one shoulder to the other ; and finally rapacious gaze would land on the other, hungry for information no matter how inconsequential. ( because nothing was inconsequential, really. if you were willing to wait long enough, any information gained would become useful. ) " interesting family life, i take it? "
