Orb Post | 5th of Rebirth's Decline

[matrimony]

It's been some time since I've been away from Asgard and I recall the times I have left, it was of my own will. While I understand your land is in need of help, as some of the kind people here in town have told me, I have many things to attend to at home. Considering the events that have transpired recently, I believe my family needs me far more than the people of this land.

Right? [ luckily, mako was able to interrogate his greeter for a while before he had to save him from korra but... he ended up with more questions than answers, really. ]

You said you were from Asgard — ah, do you know a Thor, or a Sif?

[ he'll ask about the "YOU LEFT YOUR WORLD BEFORE?????" stuff after this bit. ]

[matrimony]

Yes. Thor is my son and Sif one of his oldest friends. Though I am curious as to how you know them.

[assiduous]

I've only met Sif, ma'am. [ "met" being a VERY LOOSE TERM for it but lskafjelksf!!! ] But I was interested because they're the only other ones here that are from the same place and know each other, besides my [ TEAMMATE, AVATAR??? WHAT TERM IS HE USING FOR KORRA... friend i guess????? ] friend and I.

[ a pause, how does he go about asking about forgetting things!!? he'll hold off on that for a second. ]

[matrimony]

I'm glad to know some loved ones are here. [She smiles warmly.] We should both count ourselves lucky, if we are the only ones here who were granted our friends.

[ oh my god, you are such a... mom, lady!! how do you do it.

mako nods in agreement, brow furrowed in slight concern as he runs his fingers through his hair-- a nervous habit. ]

When you... finally talk to them. Do you mind doing me a favor and telling me if they both remember everything you do? My friend — [ a pause, and it's obvious in how tight his jaw is that this is SOMETHING THAT IS GIVING HIM A LOT OF ANXIETY ] — I'm missing a lot of stuff that she remembers. I want to figure out if it's just me or... something that happens more than that.

[ IT'S WEIRD, being so open about such a problem! but he wants to give her enough reason to listen to his request, to see why it's serious business, why he doesn't just want to pry in on their private affairs.

if she doesn't want to, he'd get it. he'll manage on his own, regardless.

but AUGH being really open, and showing vulnerability to a complete stranger; this is a desperation he has not felt in a long time. ]

[Because motherhood is one of the many things she presides over. She has to be good at being a mom.]

One of you has lost their memory? I will certainly ask when I'm given the chance, young one. It would be frightening to have neither know what I do.

[ ... it's a weird feeling, tbh. getting mom'd. ]

Just me. And not all of it, but some important things. [ UNDERSTATEMENT ] Thanks.

[welp Mako get used to it, now that you've made her acquaintance.]

You are welcome. And may I know who it is I'm speaking to? I'm afraid I have let my manners fall to the wayside and forgot the proper introductions. I am Frigga.

[ welp. ]

Mako, ma'am.

[matrimony]

Thank you for being so helpful, Mako.

[assiduous]

[ OH UH, ]

Not at all, ma'am.
