[ The prince of Asgard is looking troubled. There is a deep furrow of his brow as he frowns, and does not speak for a long moment. He lifts his hand in a helpless wave, the frown only increasing before he looks at the camera. ]

Why must the cat have a cheeseburger?

[glaza]

Rest assured, they have no shortage of pop tarts here.

I think I can. Provided you don't step on my feet.

[mothersdrapes]

I have become quite good at making pancakes.

I would promise not to but I suppose that depends upon the dancing. I am quite good, but not at the sort I've seen where I work. That... eludes me.

[glaza]

Now I have to try some myself. If you'd be willing to oblige.

It usually does depend on the dance and the amount of experience so we can try various ones. Where do you work?

[mothersdrapes]

I would be more than willing to oblige. Seems only fair.

Why am I not surprised to find out you are no doubt skilled in all? The Deviant. I am a bouncer!

[glaza]

Good. We have a deal. You get a dance, I get pancakes.

I was a kind of dancer at one point in my life. Hopefully, I'll get to teach it here.

[ That's the plan, anyway. ]

I'm assuming they told you what a bouncer was, yes?

[mothersdrapes]

I think it an excellent deal. I am lucky to have such good friends.

You have always had the grace of one. That is an excellent plan. Steve told me you were well, is this true? You are happy here?

[ Perhaps it best she didn't hear the sigh that escaped. ]

Yes, I am aware of my duties. I get paid to be intimidating. It is perhaps not the same as being a warrior, but it is a start. Life here is an adjustment.

[glaza]

As am I.

[ Though the last time she saw them all in her world, things were... less than amicable. She doesn't really like to think about that. ]

It is an adjustment to live in a place like this. I can't deny that. But I have managed to find some happiness. Sometimes I'll still feel a little restless but a good sparring partner goes a long way.

I hope you'll be able to be happy here, too.

[ If it is the same moment Rogers is from, Thor was still somewhat sorry he had not been a part of it. He wasn't sure he could have stopped it, but he might have tried. The thought that his friends had been at each other's throats troubled him. ]

I cannot help but think somewhere Loki would be laughing at me. I know he is not thought of well, but he has nearly always stated that I could never live in a time of peace. We shall see if I can prove him wrong.

Sparring is always a worthy activity. Though I am not game to use Mjolnir in any capacity against an opponent here. It seems as if I will have to learn some new tricks.

[glaza]

[ Natasha would've preferred him there if only to help stop it. Or keep things from getting as bad as they had. ]

I want you to prove him wrong purely to spite him. But that's me.

[ And there is no love lost between them considering what he did to Clint and New York. ]

I can give you a few lessons there, too. If you like.

[mothersdrapes]

You are not the only one who feels this way. He had me believe him dead after we lost our mother. Just another of his selfish tricks.

[ Thor had run out of apologies for what his brother had done to his friends and their city. But then he may have also been a little grateful just because it had brought him to the Avengers. Would that have still happened without Loki attacking? ]

Now I must find something else to give you in return. You are being far too generous.

[glaza]

You deserve better brothers, Thor.

And it's the least I could do after all the times you have helped me in the heat of battle. It will make us even.

[mothersdrapes]

Well, there is no getting them now. I can only hope that this city truly grants its wishes.

I should hope it is for more reasons than that, but I also know better than to argue with you, Natasha.

[glaza]

You don't have to share blood with someone to consider them family.

It is. I wouldn't offer them for free for just anyone.

[mothersdrapes]

Again, you are the one to make a valid point. I am glad to be able to converse with you again.

I am beyond honoured. And I will not tell the others.

[glaza]

Likewise. I've missed you.

I'm sure they'll see. This conversation is public on the Network.

[mothersdrapes]

Then perhaps I really should find something else I can trade with you, and beg for you to share your technological knowledge.

[ Not that he really had anything to hide in his conversations, but you never know. ]

[glaza]

You don't have to. Sometimes friends can just do things for each other. Free of charge.

Plus it's high time you learned how the internet and Mortal Technology works.

[mothersdrapes]

I will still provide all of the pancakes you can eat.

You are not wrong. I find myself quite lost and discovering things I am not entirely sure I should be looking at.

[glaza]

I appreciate it. I'll probably ask you make some for someone else, too.

Oh? And what are you looking at?

[ Thor, have you discovered porn? ]

[mothersdrapes]

Who else am I to make them for?

[ Perhaps, but it is not anything he wishes to look at again. ]

I did not realise there was quite so many artistic interpretations of our friends.

[glaza]

You'll find out soon enough.

[ You have to meet him, first, Thor. ]

Ahh, you've discovered fanart.

[mothersdrapes]

I am pleased to discover some things never change.

[ Like Natasha still keeping some secrets. Always the mysterious one. ]

Some Midguardian practices are quite strange.

[glaza]

[ It's a force of habit tbh. But one she doesn't mind indulging in when it suits her needs. ]

Asgardians have never created art of other Asgardians?

[mothersdrapes]

[ He paused before responding, trying to formulate what he wanted to say. ]

Of course, but not like these. These are very colourful and explicit.
