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.

((I'm so sorry I missed this! It was a busy weekend.))

Mother?

[matrimony]

((It's fine!))

Thor? You're here as well?

[thoreal]

I am. I was on my way back from Midgard... What are you doing here?

[It's not accusatory, or angry, as Sif was; but it is entirely shocked. Seeing his mother outside of Asgard, and especially in Schwanheim, is rather like seeing the Destroyer put on a dress and do a dance: something that should be relegated to the domain of dreams.]

Is Father--?

[matrimony]

It seems I was brought here against my will. Don't fret Thor, Odin is well.

[thoreal]

But why? [Oh, and now he is angry.] It is one thing to pull Sif and-- Loki-- and I from our tasks. [Okay, he's still not entirely sure why whatever force controls Schwanheim chose Loki, even if it is a Loki less mad than the one he just left on Earth.] It is entirely another to ask you to leave Asgard for this.

[matrimony]

I do not have answers, though I intend to find out what is happening here.

[thoreal]

As do we all, Mother, but...

[matrimony]

Yes, Thor?

[thoreal]

But they should not have asked you to take on our mission!

[matrimony]

I understand how you feel, Thor. But it has already been done.
