[ he laughs softly, somehow making it a sad, drunk sound ]

Words will not make right the things I have done.
ofmyth: (and rebulid your ruins)

I have left New Amsterdam.

[ he doesn't want anyone to come after him. ]
ofmyth: (you don't)

[ with someone else he might have made a joke about the beer keeping him company. but kyna deserves better than that ]

Aye.

Well, it kinda depends on the type of magic you use. The most traditional form draws its energy from the Earth itself. Mother Nature functions as the primary source of our power, which we can then use spells, astrology, divination, whatever's your flavor of tea to manifest and control.

[ he can branch into all the specific types, but a summary's enough for now. ]

It's... the best feeling in the world when you have it. When it's coursing through your veins and it's with you. Like... like everything in your life just makes sense and you know who you are because it's a part of you. It is you. And without it, well...

[ he grows quiet for a moment and then— ] Anyway, your turn. [ he glances down at her. ] What's your magic like?

I will not come to harm here.

[ is there a note of regret in his voice? ]

There is no need for you to come here, Kyna.

[ thor often feels touched or amazed at how mortals can approach the world so graciously, and he feels it again now.

but he knows he is not worthy of it ]


I have dealt with worse.
ofmyth: (scowl)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2021-01-20 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
No. I deserve far worse, after the things I did in that other world.
ofmyth: (you don't)

I have those memories. I lived that life, all of it. I will not so easily excuse myself from the wrong that has been done.
hiyakai: (049)

I think it's more than that. [ his voice softens considerably. ] It's like... you've lost yourself. [ again. ]

They took that away from us, so... [ his expression is impassive and unreadable, yet there's a hardness in his eyes that wasn't there before. he keeps his gaze fixed ahead of them. ] the only thing we should want from those gods is our magic back. Nothing else matters. At least not to me.
ofmyth: (won't be home tonight)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2021-01-20 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
I have been. One day, I would like to be again.

[ there's a rumble of thunder on thor's end of the line, then the gradual sound of rain ]

I thank you. Not all I've wrong would be as kind as you have been. But it should not surprise me, you've always been so.
hiyakai: (036)

[ something unravels within him then or, rather, reverts back to its original state as his countenance smooths over and a smile once again neatly adorns his lips. ]

Yeah, [ he looks over at her, a moment's passed. ] you're right. We are the only ones who can define who we are.
ofmyth: (you don't)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2021-01-20 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
We all went along with the world we thought we belonged to.

[ thor sighs ]

But the person I was... I still have those memories. I know how it feels to be him. Me.
