“It does not surprise me to hear you say such remarks.” Ky’s complaints are met with a measured smile that lasted for a fraction of a second, there and gone by the time that Thor moved to respond. Had moods the capacity to acquire a physical presence, then any that approached the man as he was like now would find themselves walking towards a nebulous void. It didn’t seem fare, but Thor felt that he now had to wave goodbye to all cheery perspectives regarding his adopted sibling. A summons to appear before Odin outside of days dedicated to ceremony and revelry was never a pleasant development.
     Feeling the atmosphere around them grow taut with expectation, he tries his best to diffuse at least some of the tension felt by raising his arms aloft in a mock show of surrender, fumbling his words but soon starting over again; “Very well. No guards, then. And nay, I have attended to and resolved all necessary matters prior to my arrival here.” His way of saying he’d settled his accords, cleared his schedule of all obligations, for he was bound to need the free time in the coming hours ahead.
    “Onwards, to Odin’s hall.” Gesturing past Ky to their destination off in the distance, the familiar, golden spires of the palace shone in the warm glow of day, unmissable by any who cast their gaze upon the alluring vista of the realm eternal. 
   The place where matters of life and death were regularly debated.

_{Deep down, Ky knew this wasn’t going to be a simple talk; it was going to be a massive one. Maybe Odin had finally gotten worried to why Ky wasn’t even attending meals anymore or to the point that he rarely left his quarters. 
      There were loads of questions he had as to why now- why he couldn’t just be left alone to his own devices, and why would he be dragged in. If he was being honest with himself, maybe being dragged in would have been better; a true act of defiance since maybe then he’d be allowed to at least see the realms for himself.}
      ^{Nine realms. None of them and he’d only seen a portion. More specifically, he’d read more about them than most, but never truly stepping on them fully. At any-rate, he wasn’t like Thor, wasn’t like anyone else that was allowed to go to other realms in battles. No, he was ordered to stay out of them, and ‘wait’.} 
       _{Maybe he just wasn’t suited for this; he had control, he had restraint, but it wasn’t enough. Ky could feel something in the back of his mind starting to make itself known; an anger he always smothered with focus and with some sort of distraction.
      For the entirety of the trip, Ky kept his arms folded calmly behind his back, and his head down. An unusual gesture, but done for the simple reason to keep his silence. If something that was most likely bad happened? He wanted to take the brunt of it himself and leave Thor out of it… even if it amounted pushing everyone away.}
