Sigyn wasn’t sure what had prompted Thor and his friends to invite her, of all people, to join them for a night of revelry out at one of the various taverns in Asgard, but she was immensely grateful. Although she often preferred to spend her evenings quiet and alone in her chambers, she had to admit to herself this was a pleasant change of pace. She doubted she’d make a habit of it, but truth be told, she’d had a great deal of fun drinking and listening to the exaggerated stories they boasted about, loudly. She knew she’d cherish the memories she’d made this evening.
Somehow, while they were making their way back to the palace, crossing over a less traveled bridge, someone had teasingly commented that Sigyn seemed to be quite intoxicated, given how she couldn’t seem to manage to walk in a straight line. She has openly scoffed at the accusation, and out of sheer stubbornness, decided to challenge it. The surest way to get Sigyn to do something was to tell her that she couldn’t.
Huffing in indignation, she waved her arms adamantly as she spoke. ❛ I’ll prove it to you! To all of you! I’m not that drunk! Watch! ❜ Sigyn hoisted herself up, climbing atop the railing of the bridge, holding her arms out for balance. ❛ I’m going to walk the rest of the way across on the railing and then you’ll see! ❜ She smirked amid groans of protest below her, determined to prove her lack of inebriation. It would have worked, too, if only. . .
❛ Hah! ❜ She cried triumphantly, having made it to the end of the bridge. Unfortunately, when she turned sharply to face the others, her foot slipped on the railing, and though she tried to regain her balance, she ended up toppling backward. ❛ Whoashit!! ❜ Sigyn mumbled, slamming her eyes shut as she realized her evening was about to take a very different, very drenched, turn. But her impact with the water below never came.
Sigyn cracked one eye open, then the other. She quickly became aware that she was dangling midair, suspended by. . . Glancing up, she saw Thor, looking only slightly panicked as he held her hand in his strong grip. She winced apologetically at him. ❛ Oops. . . Sorry!! ❜
