Action

[asgardsfangs]

[After this piece of invaluable diplomacy, Jormungand is outside Odin's office.

He's not going to knock.

He's just going to stand there, waiting.]

[asgardswisdom]

[ And Odin's going to let him wait. No knock, no need. He'll give him a few minutes to either cool down or sit and stew. Maybe both.

Eventually, though, he'll summon a maid to come up and open the door, stopping just inside to bow as Jormungand's only invitation to come in.

Though with Odin still sitting at his desk, writing away, it's really not an invitation. Come take a seat, won't you? ]

[asgardsfangs]

[When the maid enters, Jormungand watches silently for a moment before entering and sitting, making himself comfortable.

He's silent.

He watches.

His anger has mostly been burned off or stored away, and even if it weren't, he's no fool. He wouldn't be angry at Odin, not for something like that.

He is a little irritated though. He has better things to do with his time than be here.]

[asgardswisdom]

[ He doesn't look up as the serpent enters, simply waves a hand towards the maid and keeps writing as Jormungand sits. She bustles around them to pull out two tumblers and an amber liquor - not Odin's favourite, but good enough to share.

She pours a finger in both and Odin stops, holding the sheet out for her. ]

Take this to Heimdall. That'll be all.

[ His eyes fall to Jormungand then, staying on him while she bows and takes her leave. Inhales deeply before waving the extra glass towards the younger god and taking his own. Not quite a call to the headmaster's office, then.

But Odin does consider him silently as he takes a sip of the drink, just enough to coat his tongue with a pleasant burn. ]

[asgardsfangs]

[Jormungand takes the drink and looks at it for a moment before taking a small drink. He makes no visible reaction to the taste but looks up at Odin, considering him right back.

He respects the god immensely. He wouldn't work for him if he didn't.

But he has nothing to say at the moment beyond why am I here, and he's pretty sure Odin will get to that eventually.

In most things, Jormungand is patient.

It's when people disrespect his family that he's short of temper.

...that and any time Thor is involved. But that's another story.]
