handwave handwave she had magic dwarven paper in her pockets and now they can write from anywhere
[ Story of her life. But she gets that he's flirting. Mostly. Especially with the potato sack comment. Ha. He's cute. Almost likeβ
Damn it. Of course she's aware of why she's so drawn to this man. She might've even convinced herself that he is Hodr, in this world at least, and this is all part of Odin's grand plan to continue to make her suffer. That she finds him only to lose him again.
She's not going to let that happen. ]
Back office. My job description is basically to sit behind a desk, smile, and look pretty. And occasionally type something. You guys on the front are really missing out.
[ She's not entirely upset. She does need to learn more about this world and how things work around here, and what better way than to be in the position to access confidential information? Besides, the SSR seems to be on to something. She doesn't know what it is yet, but she has a gut feeling. ]

[ He's stuck on the front lines with a buncha men, Hel. He hasn't had anyone to aim all his charms at in a minute so he can't help it, flirting with her. It keeps his spirits up or something. ]
Sounds like. Not that I'd like sitting behind a desk, doing nothing. That's never been my kinda thing.
That mean I get to hear from you more with this here paper? I think the rest of the boys are jealous I've got someone to talk to other than them.
[ In a roundabout way he's making sure that she knows she can ask him anything as she tries to get to used to things here, because he's helpful like that. ]
no subject
[ She's stuck in a foreign realm with no way back home and everyone she loves is dead. Flirting's saving her from drowning in despair right now. This at least she knows she won't fail at. ]
I have nothing better to do anyway. Dame behind the desk, remember? Might as well talk to you. You're at least somewhat entertaining.
[ Yeah, two can play the same game. ]
no subject
[ It doesn't take him long to work up to bringing out his best work -- not that it's work because he would like to see her again -- but he really can't help it when she's not exactly backing down. But if she told him to, he'd stop ( or try to, god willing ) because he was a gentleman like that. ]
Only somewhat entertaining? I'd show you some real entertainment but we're lacking a bit here at the moment. I'll make sure I owe you, when I see you next.
no subject
[ Patience is not her middle name. Case in point: this harebrained scheme to infiltrate the US Army. She's not even sure what her endgame is here. Or at least, that's what she tells herself. Not that it matters. Like him, she can't just sit around and do nothing. She has to be moving, doing. ]
And what sort of entertainment would that be? Poetry? Dancing?
[ She does enjoy bearing witness to a good flyting. Dancing is more communal where she's from, but she enjoys that too. ]
no subject
[ He's teasing, because he can be patient enough when he needs to be. He's had plenty of time having to deal with the pain in the ass that is Steve Rogers ( along with his three siblings ) that he knows how to be patient when it's needed. ]
I was thinking dancing. You any good? I'm not much for poetry myself but maybe we could find something.
Too bad we can't find another science expo like the one we met at. I'd have to take you to another.
no subject
[ A red flag to most people, but to her, it's a bright beacon. She can't help it. She's made of the stuff. ]
I haven't danced in a while. That would be nice.
Maybe there'll be more when the war's over. So you can't die until then, that'll be very disappointing.
no subject
[ Flirting isn't much trouble, even if it might be heavy flirting as things carry on. The stupidest things he's ever done are usually in the name of impressing a girl, as he recalls using money he needed to get back home to try and win a girl a bear. ]
Didn't plan on dying, but now I gotta hang on since I don't wanna disappoint you.
What dances do you know? They have different ones where you're from?
no subject
[ He speaks her language. This is wonderful.
Of course, there's a part of her that's screaming in warning, that she shouldn't jeopardize another poor soul given that she already has a track record for ruining other people's lives, but... she can't help holding on to whatever this is she's found. She hasn't smiled, hasn't laughed, in a long time.
I won't let you die, she wants to promise, but didn't she fail the last time she did? ]
I don't know what they're called, we didn't really have names for them. We just danced around fires for the most part. Though there was this one partnered dance the Fae liked. Very intimate, lots of touching.
no subject
[ He's not a stranger to smooth talking be it to keep a fight from happening or when it came to talking to a dame. She's still flirting with him, so he takes it as a sign that he's still got it over paper too.
It helps keep his mind off the shit he's seeing here, on worrying about what Steve might be getting himself into and about his family back home, on if they're doing alright. ]
Maybe you can teach me that one and I'll teach you the Lindy Hop.
no subject
[ She's not shitting him. The Fae are a lascivious bunch. Their annual festival is just one huge orgy.
Okay, maybe she's shitting him. A little. She's not really going to jump him or anything. Maybe. ]
Why is that the name? Am I going to be Lindy, and you'll be hopping?
no subject
[ And while it might be flirtation, it's also because he's had enough practice dealing with stubborn pains in the ass that he's capable of playing the part a little himself when it comes to not letting her write him off just yet. ]
Lucky Lindy, he "hopped" the ocean. It's swing dance and probably not as intense as your one dance, but I'm promising you that you'll have fun.
no subject
Unless she finds her way to the front lines. Unlikely as a woman, since they seem to be very particular about that. She could glamour herself as a man, but then what? There's unlikely to be any dancing. ]
What do you have for entertainment there, then? I don't suppose you and the lads go dancing.
no subject
[ If there's one thing he tries not to be, it's be all talk. He likes to see through with the things he'll say he'll do and he especially wants to see it through when it's a promise made to a dame. ]
Write letters sometimes, read a book, tell stories. Play cards and gamble a little, to make it interesting.
