This is no way to seek Asgard's assistance. I am sworn to the House of Odin; my king would not have us interfere with the realm of mortals without his command.

[ She makes a frustrated noise; clenches her fist, curls it in before releasing it. ]

Nonetheless… Honor will not allow me to refuse aid to those in need when it has been duly requested of me. [ An altogether too complex situation for her liking, and she just got through with one of those. ]

I am Sif, shield-maiden of Asgard. Make yourselves known to me, fellow warriors, that I might know what allies are to be found in this place.

[ The Initiative is enamored with these Nords-Who-Aren't-Nords, it seems. Shield-Maiden, House of Odin...indeed, it's as if someone decided to pull a bunch of warriors from an alternative Skyrim. ] Martin Septim. But I'm better with spells than swords.

[atwar]

I would not deny spells their use, Martin. Whence do you hail?

( Video )

[septim]

[ Not what you normally hear from Nords. Martin, relieved, smiles a bit. ] The province of Cyrodiil, from the continent of Tamriel.

[ Oh, she does not value them as she does steel. ]

Which realm does that lie in?

[septim]

[ Nevermind, he's dealing with a True Daughter of SkyrimAsgard. ] Nirn. I doubt you've heard of it.

[atwar]

I have not.

[septim]

You'll find that most people brought into this war come from realms you've never heard of. It's...disconcerting, at first. [ But exciting. ]

[atwar]

Of that I do not doubt, but I take no issue with any person's origins.

( Video )

[septim]

Ah, I'm glad to hear that. You'll find that we're a group of rather...skilled people.

How reassuring to know that the Initiative is not so stupid as to recruit the helpless.

( Video )

[septim]

They are not stupid, just incompetent. [ Yes, there is a difference in Martin's mind. ] They recruit us, then they don't know what to do with us. It's rather amusing.

[atwar]

Not so amusing when they would send their captive recruits into battle ill-prepared for it. Incompetent military leadership gets men killed. Have any sought to address the issue with them?

( Video )

[septim]

[ That's...not how he meant it at all. He should stop trying to be funny, his humor—and voice—are too dry. ] I have.

[ war is serious business!!! ]

And their response?

( Video )

[septim]

Platitudes.

( Video )

[atwar]

Empty words. Thor and I will deal with them.

( Video )

[septim]

It won't work.

( Video )

[atwar]

We will determine that for ourselves.

( Video )

[septim]

I wish you all the luck, then.

( Video )

[atwar]

Shall I contact you with the outcome?

( Video )

[septim]

If you'd like. [ He's sure of what the outcome is, in any case. ]
