Sif didn’t quite agree with that, but she could understand his point of view. It solved plenty of problems, she thought, but she supposed that diplomacy solved more. And violence did cause problems, that much was true. Didn’t mean she didn’t like it, though. She enjoyed the heat of battle, letting go and letting loose.

not that it mattered to him, the best way to do anything was to convince everyone he was doing one thing, and then go for a complete other. it was a distraction, but it rarely worked. at least… when he had attempted to in the past. after-all, he was attempting to find his place… even if it meant destroying everything around him in the process.

“a reason to why i attempt to avoid dwelling on it. i may be many things, but… i attempt to do what’s needed.” or what he wanted, “usually.”
