Date: 2018-01-12 05:29 am (UTC)David.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-12 05:33 am (UTC)You wanted to talk?
[ It's a touch short, clipped, but not hostile. He knows better than to antagonize him. ]
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-12 05:42 am (UTC)[ The implied contempt was deliciously thick despite his relatively level tone. But yes. Yes, he did want to talk. To confirm some suspicions, and to luxuriate in his power. ]
I had some questions. Regarding Woden's abilities. You are the expert, after all.
[ Yes. Yes, they are going to play this game. ]
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-12 05:54 am (UTC)[ There's a long pause, and the sound of steps. They echoed down a hall, where there were a few voices, but nothing important.
It's the end of the day, and the end of office hours, most people were going home. A door opens, and shut. ]
And what, specifically, do you want to know about his abilities?
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-12 08:01 am (UTC)An eight-legged horse of some kind.
Knowing what I do about him I doubt Woden has any idea how the powers he was briefly granted work, and I am in no mood to delve through his mind looking for answers.
[ Well. He can't say the idea has no appeal. Who knows what else might be in there? ]
So I thought I would avoid the unpleasantness and approach you, David. As the expert.
Is there anything Woden could do for him?
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-13 05:28 am (UTC)[ He said it, ostensibly. As if he needed to explain this to someone who'd experienced the godlike power of Woden. ]
Woden, I suspect, gave each god the knowledge of who they were supposed to be. The generational knowledge, the idea of who they were. The gods that they were.
[ A pause. His tone is tight, even. Even a touch sharp. ]
However, if you wonder about his capability to remove that knowledge... you may want to ask, whether or not he wants to.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-13 06:20 am (UTC)[ His smile is very audible- and it isn't a smirk or a ploy, either. He had definitely received the better end of that bargain. ]
Óðr. I still haven't finished reading through all the poetry.
[ Stacks of it, David. Stacks of Óðr-inspired verse. Maybe, if you are very good.
His tone shifts. ]
Is it unwillingness, then? Rather than inability.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-13 08:32 am (UTC)[ He wants them, of course, even if he's already read them. Multiple times. He is the expert, after all. ]
I am not privy to the whims of the gods, my friend. [ A pause, then. ] However... If you're wondering whether or not Woden can so something, you should first consider how far he will go to do the impossible.
Perhaps there's value in the current state of affairs.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-13 08:43 am (UTC)[ That's right. Stacks of poetry he wrote... while he was Óðr. He can't even read half of it now. ]
But we can talk about Óðr's writings later. We were talking about Eli. Perhaps I should meet with Woden to discuss the matter. I've always found him to be surprisingly co-operative in person.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-15 06:35 am (UTC)Perhaps you should ask him if he wants to meet you. I have a suspicion that he would prefer to keep his distance.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-15 10:02 am (UTC)He would probably prefer to keep an air of mystery around himself.
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-16 02:30 am (UTC)[ David Blake says, to someone who is Absolutely Not Aware That He Is Woden ]
You would know that it is correct. Perhaps you should instead ask him directly, instead of dancing around the subject.
