Orb Post || Day 17

[brosif]

[Sif comes up, looking as composed as a person not used to making apologies can be.]

To those of you whom I may have acted towards in an ill manner: I wanted to take a moment to apologize for my actions. They did not reflect how a representative of Asgard ought to present themselves in a foreign land.

[They reflected perfectly how representatives of Asgard actually conduct themselves in foreign lands, but that is not the point :|]

In spite of the King's generous offer of amnesty, if you've want of restitution or your honor needs satisfied, I encourage you to seek me out.

Comments

[brosif]

I believe my pride is the most injured part of me.

[shorterinperson]

I'm glad to hear it. It's good to have you back.

[brosif]

It’s good to be of my own mind again. I’ve not experienced a curse like that in centuries.

[shorterinperson]

I've never seen anything like it before, and it will be too soon if I ever see anything like it again.

[brosif]

I’m not sure who has my greater sympathy: those under the spell, or those who had to deal with them.

[shorterinperson]

At least none of us actually destroyed anything.

[brosif]

And I can add “failed coup” to my list of accomplishments.

[shorterinperson]

It wouldn't have helped anyway. It takes more than a moment's notice to organize an effective coup.

[brosif]

That may be why all of my coups fail.

[She is fairly sure getting Thor killed and the Bifrost destroyed counted as a failure, whatever the end result.]

It’s a very specialized skill set.

[shorterinperson]

That may have something to do with it. It's a complicated business, you know.

[brosif]

Have you ever given it a go? Maybe you'd be sterner usurper material.

[shorterinperson]

Seeking my knighthood is the biggest rebellion I've ever staged, and that one didn't involve much planning. [ It was more like 'oh wow this is actually happening everyone hold on tight!' ]

Although now I'm determined to get the King to reverse the cursed foolish laws about lady knights.

[brosif]

[Sif pauses, and sarcasm is replaced with a very honest smile.] That is how I earned my banner as well.

Such laws do any kingdom a grave disservice.

[shorterinperson]

They're a cursed foolish luxury for bigoted old men. You and I prove that easily enough.

[brosif]

Why do you think it is that a failing kingdom such as this cares not to limit a woman's station by her sex, but Asgard prospers with half of her resources ignored?

[shorterinperson]

I could just as easily blame that on the King as on their laws.

[brosif]

The King makes the laws.

[shorterinperson]

So did the King before him, and the one before him.
