“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.
“An’ i can use them well.” Maybe Ky should have kept his lips sealed on that little bit of information, but it was becoming quite clear that everything with Peter was complicated. From the moment he met him, Ky knew things would be interesting, but not like this. Not when he found himself want – no, needing him around. Needing him to obey.
Maybe it was selfish of him to only thing of himself. To not think of what Peter needed – food, warmth, human interaction or just interaction in general. No, Ky elected to keep him. As a pet. “– do you want me to use them?”
ky @ norrin & mephisto; “….i’m not part of this family.”
Unappreciative of Ky’s sharpness, Thor’s expression became warped by unpleasantness, sighing in sheer annoyance at how persistent the man could be when he had his attention fixated on a particular. He wasn’t sure how else to indicate he didn’t want to fight, but soon came to understand that it was the only way the demon would finally take heed of his warnings.
“Very well.” Words laced with a tinge of disappointment, Thor held up both arms, stretching them high into the sky whilst splaying his fingers. A few moments pass uneventfully by, until something could be seen travelling at great speed towards the two of them. Then it had gotten close enough to be identified as a hammer, the weapon broke in two, with each half going to one of Thor’s empty hands.
Holding tight to these new weapons, revealed to be a pair of axes, the blond swaths the air with them, keeping flair and showiness to a bare minimum before then settling into a battle ready chance.
“Come then, creature. Allow Thor to give you the fight that you crave”
“Excellent.“ A one word response towards everything that had been said – including the view and arrival of the hammer. Well, now it was not just one, but two axes.
Once, the demon would have said it was interesting, but nolonger – no, all Ky thought of the other’s choice in weaponry was how difficult it would be the other with them. In his mind, it wouldn’t be highly difficult, but it still would have to be taken carefully. If something went even slightly wrong, Ky could end up in a losing position … something he couldn’t afford at the moment.
“Let the games begin!” It was, after-all, just a game to him; proving himself and trying time again to show he was actually worthy of standing toe to toe with the greatest heroes of this time. If Ky was trained better, he could have taken quite a few of them out permanently, but he didn’t recognize that little factor yet. Nor would he ever at this rate; it was all games to him and seeing just how far he could go was the ultimate goal.
“when’s your birthday?” awfully bold of you to assume that i was born
💀 – “Sure,…if you’re offering.” Johnny offered a small shrug in response. “Good to hear…ya never know, ya know? Just thought I’d put it out there, as it is. Sometimes a guy just wants some peace and quiet.”
“Well, looks like I am offering,” he said, moving his right hand into his back pocket, and taking out a lighter. “At least this time around. I might be many things, but sometimes the best course of action is to simply…. keep your head down. Among other things.”
“Don’t what?”
Part of him knew he shouldn’t have gotten so attached to Peter, but it was far too late now. Far too late to even think about anything other than keeping him safe. It wasn’t exactly an attraction, but more so of Ky’lar recognizing that the other was more than simply a possession of his.
In-fact, Peter was something more than simply that… as for how much more? Not even Ky knew that answer. Still, it wasn’t as if he was going to investigate it- no, all he would do was make sure to push the other’s buttons… just enough so that Peter would know who was in control. Just enough so that Ky got to have what was ( in his mind ) his.
“Haven’t you learned… it doesn’t go well for either of you to tell me what to do.” More was going to be said – much more, but Ky held his tongue in check. At least for the moment.
