[say_thee_nay]

[From here!]

Well met, then, Lady Hawke. And to answer thy question, it is both what I am--one of the Aesir, immortal and powerful--and my title. I am Master of the Storm, the God of Thunder rather than Light or Beauty or War.

[hawkwardmoment]

Then you're officially the first god I've met! Although I'll have to say that you're certainly different from what I imagined a divine being would be like.

[say_thee_nay]

Then I am indeed pleased to be the first. And while 'tis always my preference is to defy expectations, typically I endeavor to do so by exceeding them--thus I can but hope I have not underwhelmed.

[hawkwardmoment]

Well, you certainly do have me impressed, Messere Thor.

[say_thee_nay]

Please, milady--Thor will suffice. I require no titles or such courtesies from folk here.

And I shall hope to better earn that gracious regard by being of greater service to thee.

[hawkwardmoment]

In that case, please just call me "Hawke". I fear I might be smite by holy thunder if I refer to you without honorifics while you do.

[say_thee_nay]

Adhering to the dictates of chivalry is a requirement for those of my standing in my Realm, but matters are different elsewhere. So fear not--smiting I reserve for threats, not differences of opinion regarding the propriety of common courtesy.

And as thou will, Hawke. 'Twill serve.

[hawkwardmoment]

[laughs]

I'm very relieved to hear that, and it's a pleasure to officially make your acquaintance, Thor.

[say_thee_nay]

The pleasure is entirely mine, milady... Though I would rather it were under less... frustrating... circumstances.

[hawkwardmoment]

If worse comes to worse, I suppose I can try to look on the bright side and... consider that I can take "kissing a god" off the the list of things I want to do before I die.

[say_thee_nay]

And for my part, I assure thee--I should do my utmost to ensure the experience was as... pleasant for thee as possible, under the circumstances.

Thought mayhaps 'twould be best for us to part ways, as I've no desire to subject thee to that grim fate.

[hawkwardmoment]

Yes, that would be preferable. However I do hope we'll be able to speak again, when we're less likely to be struck by these plants' curse.

[say_thee_nay]

I should like that as--

[Of course, that's a fine plan... But speaking of "that plant's curse," how fast has that mistletoe been growing while they spent all this time chatting? Fast enough for Thor to suddenly find himself rooted to the spot--as it were--when he turns to go.]

-- ... well. This bodes ill...

[hawkwardmoment]

[oh Maker]

...I jinxed us, didn't I?

[say_thee_nay]

I... would not place any blame for this on thee, Hawke. I have the greater experience--I should have recognized how brazenly we had tempted the encampment's mischief through our prolonged discourse.

[hawkwardmoment]

To be fair, you did warn me not to linger. So why don't we both safely blame this encampment and its fondness for these types of situations?
