text; sif

[fiercestwarrior]

My apologies, Taako, but I will not be able to come to the feast you were gracious enough to invite me to.

[spellslots]

[Aww; he's a little sad, but he's sure she's got a good reason.]

You'll just have to come to the next one, yeah? Everything good with you?

[They've only spoken a little, but she's important to Thor, so Taako wants to make an effort.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ You know that thing where you try to keep it together and then someone asks you how you're doing and you just fall apart?

Yeah, that's happening to Sif right now so she is very glad that she chose to do this over text because she doesn't want people here to see her cry. She doesn't know anyone well enough for that yet. Apart from Thor, of course, but that's a whole different story. ]

I have been given news of the worst kind, I would be very poor company indeed.

[spellslots]

[His immediate assumption is that Thor must have told her about Asgard's destruction, and he waffles over his response for a moment before finally working out something to say.]

Over a century ago we left our planet on what was supposed to be a two month journey, to explore other planar systems. On the day we left, an... entity showed up and devoured our reality, our planet, the suns, the stars, everything. The seven of us who were on that stupid ship are all that's left.

It's probably not the same, but what I'm saying is I get it. If you wanna talk.

[He had little attachment to his home, but he can understand what it feels like to lose something that big.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ The kindness is very unexpected, as is the revelation of what Taako has lost, and Sif too needs some time to think on how to respond to it. ]

I am sorry that such a thing happened to you, and I thank you for your kindness.

I am very angry right now. At many things, including people you care for. I do not think you would wish to hear me speak of such things.

[spellslots]

Here's a fun fact, I also kinda get what it's like to be real angry at someone you love

I can't say I'm not gonna be biased, but I can handle someone talking shit about my friends

[fiercestwarrior]

It would seem that you and I have more in common than one might think at first glance.

[spellslots]

If you also had someone steal your memories I'm gonna sue for copyright infringement

[fiercestwarrior]

[ She has no idea what copyright infringment is, but that still made her smile a little through the tears. ]

I did, in fact. But I got them back.

[spellslots]

[HEY ACTUALLY WHAT THE FUCK]

Who took yours?

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Getting a little eerie, isn't it? ]

A Kree warrior, he hit me with a weapon that made me forget everything except very simple things. I did not even know my own name.

[spellslots]

[Okay, that's at least different enough he's not weirded out.]

My best friend erased a century of my life and the memories of my sister

[fiercestwarrior]

Why would a friend do such a thing?

[spellslots]

It's a long fucking story, she was trying to save the world we were on but went about it real badly. That's what I meant about getting it when you're angry at someone you care about.

[fiercestwarrior]

That does sound a lot like some of the things I am enraged by at the moment.

[spellslots]

You think they should've found another way?

[It's a bit of a leading question, but he's willing to let her vent.[

[fiercestwarrior]

I do not think another way existed. Not with Hela loose.

[ But she's angry all the same. Angry at Odin for keeping her a secret, angry at Thor for leaving, angry at Loki for betraying them all over and over.

If not for all these lies, perhaps something could have been done. ]

[spellslots]

[He realizes with sudden clarity that he doesn't know if Sif survived, if she got away with them or if she was lost with Asgard's destruction.

Taako will ask Loki.]

But you're still angry?

[fiercestwarrior]

I fought and bled and laughed and cried with Thor for centuries. I betrayed my oath as a warrior of Odin for his sake more than once. His life was dearer to me than my own.

He cast me aside, he cast our friends aside, our entire realm. He found something that suited him better.

Loki tried to bring ruin to the home I was sworn to protect, he tried to kill me and my friends, he made me serve him under the guise of my king. He brought ruin and death upon my people and all the while thought himself to be the true victim.

Yes. I am angry.

[ Why is she vomiting words all over this poor man?

Well. He's there and he offered and she doesn't really have that many people to talk to.

She never really did, and now the few there were are dead. ]

[spellslots]

[Well, that's a lot of things to take in; he doesn't find it too hard to believe that Loki did like... all... of that... but it surprises him to hear someone say that Thor cast them aside. It doesn't strike him as something Thor would do, but he maybe someone would say the same thing about Lucretia. If nothing else, he can give her the benefit of the doubt.]

Usually I'm not the sorta dude to advocate all that honesty bullshit, but have you talked to Thor about this?


I know that isn't gonna necessarily fix anything but I wanna check what page we're on here

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Thor had his reasons for doing what he did, and even now Sif knows none of them involved conscious abandonment. That does not make her feel any less kicked to the curb.

Feelings are very rarely rational things. ]

I believe I have made it clear to him how I feel.

Thor is a hero to our people, and he is very good at being that. He saves the day, he conquers the enemy.

But he was also heir to the throne, and a time came when he was expected to be something more than that. A king must be present on all days, not just the ones in need of saving.

He chose to go to midgard instead, to his mortal lover and his new friends, so that he could stay a hero.

[ The thing that really sucks about all this to her personally is that she still loves him. ]

[spellslots]

[That makes a lot more sense to him, or at least - it fits more with what he knows of Thor.]

People make shitty fucking decisions sometimes

[It sounds like it comes down to Thor being selfish, which isn't something that Taako can really hold against anyone, considering... everything he chooses to be.]

You don't have to forgive him for it but you don't have to hate him either, there's room for whatever's inbetween, it's where I am with Lucretia

[fiercestwarrior]

I do not hate him, but I am not sure what my place is in the new life he is making for himself.

I am not sure that I want one.

[spellslots]

You know the best thing about this place?

None of the shit back home matters. I don't mean like, it's not important to you or whatever, just that you're so far away from it that you don't have to immediately make a decision about what to do next. There's nothing you gotta hold yourself to except what you want, and sure, maybe you gotta take some time to figure that out, but that's cool too

It's okay to not know. It's okay if you don't wanna talk to Thor for a couple months and just live your own life until you've got your own shit sorted. He might be kinda sad about it, but he made his bed. You look after you

[That's some fucking patented Taako advice right there.]

[fiercestwarrior]

He is my king now, how can I turn from him in his greatest hour of need?
