[Yuri is seated in the kitchen of Odin House. He's made himself some tea. This particular kind of tea is not ideal, and the same can be said of the honey, which is of rather low quality, but it will have to do for now. He takes a thoughtful sip, then returns the teacup to its saucer

[...]

[To be honest, he can't speak for the first part at all. This... is better than what he had. In that sense, it's a boon -- but he's pretty sure he doesn't agree with the price.]

They really are pretty selfish 'gods', aren't they?

[The second part, however, is what piques his interest.]

--You will wait, then?

[sostaygold]

I don't know about 'chosen heroes' -- they're making this out to be some kind of glorious thing, but it feels more like a hostage situation.

... If I may ask, sir, what position did you hold at home?

[video]

[a_civil_service]

My thought as well, in spite of what we've been told.

I am a judge. And yourself?

[video]

[sostaygold]

[A judge. Well, that certainly fits.]

You seem very dedicated to your profession. [Maybe... he should be careful around this person.]

I was a servant in the palace of my kingdom.

[a_civil_service]

My work is my first priority. [Both as a judge and as a vigilante, not that he would admit to the latter.]

Then we have something in common, in a way, as I am a servant of the people. What is your name?

[video]

[sostaygold]

It must be important -- I hope you are not kept away from it for too long.

[He's... not the most familiar with the court justice system, but he knows that judges, at least, are very important people.

... Should he laugh or cry at being compared with a 'servant of the people'?]

--My name is Allen Abaddonia, sir. It's an honor.

[In the end, he says nothing about it and completes his introduction with a bow.]

[video]

[a_civil_service]

It is important work, yes. Thank you. I also hope I can return to it soon.

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Abaddonia. [He returns the bow with a bow of his head.]

[video]

[sostaygold]

[He actually jumps at the formal term of address.]

I, um. Please, just Allen is more than sufficient.

[This is already pretty much the Twilight Zone, having guys like this call him 'mister' is unneeded surrealism!]
