I think you mentioned that to me before. It's a shame these kinds of things aren't done anymore nowadays, they sound cool. But I can see how it would be harder to preserve the stories and knowledge.
[ He chuckles at the 'tell stories and have sex'. ]
Both options are good to past the time but only one keeps you warm. I saw...Gaige replying to your post as well. [ He leaves it at that but the unsaid question is 'How is that going, man?' Come on, he likes to gossip. ] She's a very spirited lady. We met when we have turned into animals a few weeks ago.
Eh, cool. Then you really should do that. I'd like to read them once it's done.
I will and then you shall know all about what my world is like. I think you will like the tale of my father. He was the most famous Viking in the world.
[Ivar sounds very proud of Ragnar and he was. His father had helped shape him into he was today.
At the question of Gaige, he seems to become off-guard.]
She is-- [For once, Ivar finds it difficult to find the words he wants to say. He also might be flushed a little pink and wearing a slightly goofy expression on his face.] --we understand each other. She comes from a similar place and has a mindset that's very much like my own.
I love hearing about heroes, and he sounds like a fascinating man already.
[ Someone who clearly left a mark on their son, a positive one at that. It's more than Peter can say about his biological father. If he were to write down his opinion about Ego, half the pages would be swears.
Peter waits for the other man to think about what he wants to say. he isn't in a rush and it's sweet to see Ivar actually doing normal teenager things, like getting a crush. The smile on Peter's own face only grows but it's a very fond one. ]
That's a good start! It's great to have that connection, specially here where we can't really avoid each other for long. [ The smile turns a little teasing and he can't help but add; ] If you two keep getting along and you want me to make myself scarce, just say so. I'll stay in my ship so you two have the room to yourselves and can get to know each other better.
He truly was. He was welcomed into Valhalla after a lifetime of great deeds.
[Ragnar Lothbrok's life would become the stuff of legends as the years went on. Ivar would see he got his due fame here. As for the mark he left on his son's life, it had been a great one, but one had to wonder if the last thing to tell his son as 'Be ruthless' had been the smartest idea. Ivar had taken the advice to heart, perhaps a little too well.
Indeed, Ivar when he had a crush on someone was one of the few times he acted like a typical teenager. He seems so happy right now that the word adorable might spring to mind.]
Oh, be quiet. We haven't even kissed yet. [There's a pause.] But if things do go in that direction, a bit of discretion would be nice. At home, sometimes there's nowhere to go. You have to sleep while people have sex right next to you.
[A bit awkward, but if the Norse had let a lack of privacy stop them, they would've died out a long time ago.]
That's amazing. I only know about that place from the stories in my world and Thor but seeing it must be so cool. Full of heroes and warriors.
[ Not a place he thinks he will ever get to see but it's nice that some cultures do have such a welcoming afterworld. ]
My lips are sealed. [ He might tease but he won't make fun of Ivar for this. Especially since he looks rather happy for a change. ] That sounds rather awkward. Don't worry, I'll make sure not to interrupt. We really need to talk to Tyr about the way we are roomed. I don't particularly mind of sharing rooms but it was making Mary and others uncomfortable.
You know what women like? Weapons. You should get Gaige some.
Exactly. I shall drink, feast, and fight until the end of days. And when the final battle of Ragnarok comes, it shall be the most glorious end of all.
[For Vikings, there was no better ending then one which was a battle strong enough to end the entire world.]
Bah. Try spending all winter with you family, slaves, companions, and animals all sharing the same quarters. Then you may come back to me and complain.
[Privacy was a luxury most couldn't afford in the Dark Ages, even if they were royalty.]
Weapons? Hmmm, yes. She would like something like that. Maybe I shall get her a mace so she can smash things with it! [Things like people's kneecaps, perhaps?]
You Vikings got a pretty sweet deal when it comes to afterlife matters.
[ He makes a face at that living situation. Messy indeed. ]
Okay, when you put it like that...the worse I had to deal with was an angry raccoon and a mouthy tree teenager. We were lucky that the Benatar is a big ship, we already argued on a daily basis and that when we weren't all sleeping in the same room. Plus Drax snores like crazy.
[ No! not people's kneecaps! Although that sounds like something Gaige would do. ]
Good idea. Maybe you can make it even more personalized, like engraving her name on the handle or adding a few decorative beads.
As cool as that could be, I'm afraid I'd get your Viking comrades and you mad at me after the first few centuries in the afterlife.[ If his relationship with Thor is any evidence, that's it. ] But I'm honoured that you are suggesting it.
Maybe more of them will come here. I'd like that too.
[ Clearly the way to a woman's heart is giving her bedazzled swords. ]
You can't never go wrong with nice weapons, I think.
You think we would kick you out? [He laughs.] I have never heard of anyone being banished from Valhalla, but if ever there was one who could have that happen, it is definitely you.
[He nods in agreement.]
I think I shall give her one ingrained with some runes that shall help her in battle. Would you like me to make you anything while I am at it?
What can I say. I'm just that talented. [ Peter grins at that because...yeah. It would be him. ]
Let me know what she thinks of it once you give it to Gaige. [ Peter pauses, taken aback by the offer. ] Woah, really? I'd never say no to more weapons, I'd be honoured. Do anything you want, surprise me.

I should like to see that at some time. You have such colorful companions if your lady warrior is any indication.
[He thinks on that for a moment, eyes glowing with pleasure at the idea of giving Gaige such a thoughtful gift.]
Now there's an idea. I'm a fair blacksmith at times. Mayhaps I'll make her a fancy one.
