"Thank you, Dagmar, I do feel better. I owe you a drink. Fortunately, I know where the soda is kept. You want mountain dew, grape, or maybe a cola?" She's about to head into the kitchen

"Do we have any Dr. Pepper?"

"Yeah I think so..." She goes to the fridge "YES, Aunt Kerri thinks of everything.. got three left. " SHe pulls one out for Dagmar and grabs a Root Beer for herself

It's insidious!

"Kerri's great." She takes the bottle. "Thanks"

"You're welcome" A pop and drink "Honest to gosh, She makes it look so easy."

"She's amazing."

"All of them are, it's down right bloody intimidating, but dad and I had a talk, and i'm okay with not being legend, and happy to help the legends out"

"Right? I mean... yeah."

"I mean, I think it might be cool to be a legend, too... like, y'know, full superhero..."

"If anyone of us will make it t that, it'll be you, Dagmar" A swig

"Well, Sylvi? She's already been an emissary and everything..."

"Oh she might make it too, but warriors are the ones who catch the eyes of the skalds, and you , Cuz, scream warrioress. Oh I fight too, but I'm the sexy nimble sailor type. I'll be a good tale at taverns, but a saga? Nope. That's you."

A grin. "So, like, we could team up."

"Oh sure, get Sylvi in on it, we could be like the three musketers"

"Or the Avengers!"

"You could be Black Widow..."

"Oh? mmm I do have the moves for her. Though Sylvi might want that one. Or maybe she'll got Scarlet Witch"

"All spooky magic? Maybe. She's a good talker..."

"I don't think Cap is quite right, but..."

"But she's a leader type."

"Tony?"

"Ha. Fits"

"Obviously, I'm Thor."

"Clearly" A nod "No argument. And not the ah .. ' She makes a 'wide from side to side' gesture "Thor"

SIGH.

"Yeah, they over did that... and it wasn't that funny ..more sad. he was traumatized you know? He failed to protect, and it ate at him.. so he went to drink ..too much, but it was where he found a way to distract his pain. He needed to get out of out of it, but I think the other Avengers should have..well.. let's just say they shouldn't have learned about it so late. "

"They ignored him for five years!"

"I know they were trying to protect the world, but you have to protect those close to you too" Siv agrees.

"Yeah, exactly."

"maybe it's we're trolls we see it. We can understand how it feels to.. have failed to protect, how it can weigh on you so that even your supernatural strength is not enough"

She nods. "Like, if something happened to Tove or Jaymes or any of you? And I coulda stopped it?"

"Or something to you and I missed it? I'd feel terrible" A nod

"So, we just won't let that happen!"

"No we won't" Siv's nod and jaw set looks surprisingly like her mom's for a moment.

A Jaymes-like grunt and nod.

"Well, this is spooky" Vali says

"Hey Vali. Be warned, there is Mooooood happening upstairs."

" A mood?" Vali raises a brow

"Gerd's testy" Siv says

"Define Testy?" He looks at both

"Puberty Fairy came."

He turns a paler shade of blue "Oh crap"

"She was extra cranky to Dagmar this morning, and I've been keeping an eye on her. Your turn" Siv says

"Greeeatt" Vali says

"Don't you go grump n us!"

A smile at that "Just to keep you two happy, I'll try to stay young and vibrant"

"Good." Hmph. Nod.

Siv nods as well

Vali looks at both young women, and chuckles at something "Thanks." Then braces himself and heads up the steps
