So the downtime between the fights turned out to be almost as eventful as the fights themselves…somehow. Okay, where to start. I thanked Lexi for distracting Rigvar and giving me that free shot on him. That was the tame part.
Meanwhile, Cindy and Claire were talking. And flirting, and setting up a date, and egging each other on, and having an honest to Odin soft core porn audition right on the edge of the battlefield. Somehow, since it looks like those two are going to become an item, I get the feeling that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Well, should keep things from getting boring, I guess.
Ken and I talked for a while too. I gave her Rigvar’s hair. Which…might seem weird, but the hair of a Svartalfar helps the user see through illusions a lot easier. Since she’s probably the best scout we have, not to mention a sniper, I figured it’d be more useful in her hands than mine. Then we got to talking for a while. She compared me to Nuada, and swore that in my hour of need she’d be there to help me in whatever way she could. And it was just so…heavy; you could really tell she meant it. I wasn’t quite sure how to respond, so I just told her I’d make sure to be worthy of it.
Then she passed around a flask of whiskey to us to ease the nerves before the battle, reminded me of the Æsir. Well, passed it to me and Lexi at any rate. I wasn’t about to interrupt Cindy and Claire. Speaking of, that’s about when Cindy took off her pants and started dancing so Claire could film her on her Smartphone. Yeah…that was surprising.
Anyway…that prompted me to ask Ken whether or not Claire had that out earlier. She told me she wasn’t sure, and smirked. Kinda like she did after checking me out earlier. So I asked if something else had caught her eye back then to distract her. Some uh, rather blatant flirting ensued. And the conversation just seemed to pick up right where it left off before the drink, with both of us just being so open with one another. It was the first time I’ve been open with anyone ever since my visitation.
Long story short, once the current craziness is over with we have a date. She’s planning to cook for me. And after that, well…we’ll see what happens. But I think it’s safe to say that the both of us are even more eager to put this Alaskan mess behind us than we were before.
I talked with the Director; too, after I was pretty sure my heart rate was back down to normal. Which went as well as I could’ve hoped. I’m not all that subtle, so the discussion was a bit confrontational. Which can be dangerous when dealing with a Valkyrie. Anyway, I wanted to know what was going on. She’d claimed we were sent in because there were no other legendary forces at her disposal. But Idunn and the arrival of Valkyries plainly showed that to be a lie. Thankfully, she didn’t seem offended. She also said that the reason she’d sent us, despite the dangers, was that we were the only M.I.S.T. team she could trust. But she wouldn’t tell me why…just one more thing to worry about.
