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.

Yes! [And obviously likes him] Loki plays and hunts with Faolan sometimes!

[matrimony]

Does he? And have you seen him recently?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! We went and saw a girl and she healed his paw!

[matrimony]

He was injured?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes, but it was made better. And he was brave!

[matrimony]

I do not doubt he was.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes. [Faolan's voice is quite definite.] Loki is a good daddy.

[matrimony]

Excuse me?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Loki is brave. And plays well. Can chase and run and pounce. And hunt! Is a good daddy. [He hopes he has correctly interpreted what she wants more information on.]

[matrimony]

You believe him to be your father?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes. Loki is a pack father! Has a brother. Maybe Thor will be daddy too.

[matrimony]

Pack, dear child?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Pack is family!

[matrimony]

I see. Thank you.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

You have family?

[matrimony]

Yes. Loki and Thor are my sons.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Really? [Loki's Mutti is here! Hooray! Loki will be so happy!]

Have seen Loki yet? Will be happy!

[matrimony]

Yes. He's on his way here now.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Must be happy! Happy to see Mutti again!

[matrimony]

I hope he is.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Always happy to see Mutti again! [This is emphatic.] Mutti is special special special.

[matrimony]

Do you say such to your own mother?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[He hangs his head, lip trembling a little] Mutti is dead.

[matrimony]

[Her smile drops.]

I am sorry.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[He struggles a little to regain his humor.]

But have Hawk now. And Loki! And Gretel and Alanna and others! Not alone.
