And why aren't "because I can" or "because it's fun" acceptable answers? All these distinctions between good and evil, problem and solution, blah blah blah...
I'm jealous! Every Jotunn I know can shapeshift into an animal. Except me, obviously. It's not fair.
Yes, but you know what's really interesting is how people tend to assume problem=evil and solution=good. I think we exist to remind them this isn't always the case.
Have you tried shapeshifting at all? I learned to switch gender presentation before I ever could turn into an animal. That, and apparently I changed myself to look Aesir instinctively as an infant, long story. There is some innate hereditary ability, but it does have to be cultivated a little and I shouldn't wonder if some have to work at it harder than others.
Exactly. And how the control freaks are the "good" guys. What's wrong with a little chaos? Life in itself is a game of random chance.
I can change my eyes and my hair. [ She had to learn not to make her eyes change color, in fact, as they had the tendency to do so whenever she had a strong burst of emotion. ] I tried to practice shapeshifting into Sif, but it didn't go so well.
[ nevermind the fact that it make sense. sansa had kin in the eerie, the offspring of her mother's sister. if not to winterfell or the riverlands, where else could she go to seek shelter and safety away from the prying eyes of the crown but the fortified eerie? the only true threat the eerie ever faced were dragons and (to his knowledge) daenerys targaryen has no interest in a wayward stark girl and his sister's vendetta. ]
I'm not that grown up. Fen says I will have to marry when I am, and I don't want to leave you, Father.
[ Oh, don't get her wrong. She's a romantic. The idea of marriage, of having someone, is something she likes. But she doesn't think anyone will want her, considering... everything. It's being rejected that terrifies her. It's not like she hasn't been through enough of it already. ]
I was not threatening you. I was just applying a little pressure.
Don't think I'm so foolish as to not know that you likely have romances, darling girl. I certainly know what I was up to at your age. And deeply hope you are not taking after me in that regard. Though, even if you grow up fully and marry, you will still be able to see me. We always have our ways of communicating.
[ Loki would be furious if he thought that anyone might judge his daughter's looks. Sure, he knows she is marred, but she was and will always be beautiful to him. ]
Where did you learn this? Was it your mother? So cruel of my only daughter to apply pressure to her doting father.
"Might have to be a redhead more often, then," she said with a soft laugh, peering almost shyly through her lashes. A strange expression flickered across her face for a moment at his next words, but she quickly clamped down on it and twisted her lips instead into a playful smile.
It wasn't that she didn't feel the same way. But saying it out loud made it seem more... permanent, and she wasn't sure she could commit to that right now. Could she really just walk away? Would the agency let her? What would she even do once she was out? She didn't know what else to be, having been in the business long enough.
That didn't mean she didn't want it, though.
"Well, you're in luck because I have about three days before I have to be anywhere. That's enough time for a thousand kisses, isn't it?"
βI think itβs cute that you doubt weβll get to that number before we leave the gardens,β he said, leaning to kiss her softly. It was a chaste kiss but it lingered just a bit before he pulled away and reached down to slip his hand into hers. He liked the way that their hands seemed to fit perfectly into each other. It always made him remember how good it felt to be with her when they were together. Steve wished that it didnβt have to be so sporadically but they each had their commitment, even if he wished that she would do something else, potentially joining him.
βAny other plans besides being greedy for kisses while youβve got a few days off?β
He lost. Came in last place, in fact. He refused to accept that even Hodr bested him. And he was very drunk by then, so we thought they'd come to blows, but he just cried.
We'd love to have you! It might be a weekly gathering from now on. Tyr said he wanted to come next time too.

I'll check tomorrow if he's still wandering around. You might be right, he just got out and he isn't really lost.

You can find Sansa Stark in the Eyrie. Swear that you will see her returned to Winterfell, and you will have my protection.
