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.

[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.

[matrimony]

Your new family.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! Faolan has a new pack!

[matrimony]

You must be happy.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Am happy! Pack happy! Family happy! You are Loki's Mutti! Means my grandmother!

[matrimony]

Is that so? [She smiles, amused.]

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! Must be so! [And isn't he so happy about it? He's wriggling with excitement!]

[matrimony]

Aren't I lucky? We shall meet soon, young one. It would only be right for a child to meet his grandmother, hmm?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yesyes! [So much wriggling! How can he stand being so happy!] And can play and tell stories!

[matrimony]

We shall make it a date.
