﹙ she pulled the fur closer, small inside it.﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ i would not like
that snow,
i am already chilly
from being brave
for one minute... ”
( she held his coat tightly and smiled softly. )
“ you may keep
the terrible cold realm,
i will keep this. ”
" that i
Did.'
( as far as he was concerned he didn't want her catching a cold from such things. The coat in mention was his but in this moment hes letting her have it.)
" hmm,
Yes being brave can be quite chilly but try fighting as such in the snowy tundra of Jötunheimr-
⠀⠀“ accidentally. ”
﹙ she looked at the sad football then at his awkward grin. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ you only squeezed it
like you meant to say hello.
just do not say hello
to me that way...
i would go flat too. ”
⠀“ oh.
you hid me. ”
﹙ the fur was heavy and warm and smelled like him. she held it closed with both hands, a little sorry the cold was covered so quickly, a little glad he noticed. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ that is very kind.
i was being brave...
and also
a little cold. ”
( he noticed her cold as he placed a fur coat around top half to cover her up .)
" perhaps its best if you stay warm as you can't be brave if you freeze so best take care of yourself "
“ okay.
i will be brave. ”
﹙ the breeze found her immediately. she glanced down, then up at him again as if her body made a comment on its own. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ it is a little cold.
my skin is being
very obvious about it. ”
" better to be brave than a coward. "
( he simply watched as she made her choice on the matter of fabric or not , feeling the breeze blow through his hair.)
" now don't regret your choice as bravery moves forward not backwards remember that mantis."
⠀“ all right.
i am feeling brave. ”
﹙ she pulled the fabric up and off before she could think twice, breath catching, cheeks warm. her eyes stayed on him, waiting. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ there.
now the shirt
is not between us. ”
" very well ."
( he pondered her question while letting his bare chest breath in the natural way, looking at her for a moment. )
" Should you
Feel brave as I then i see no issues in that idea little one ."
⠀⠀“ i do not mind. ”
﹙ she looked at the shirt on the floor, then down at her own clothes, as if they had just become suspicious too. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ if shirts are only
a confine…
should i take mine off
as well?
so you are not
the only brave one. ”
" darn there gose another."
( the thin fabric tore from his muscled fram and laided as strings . A small sigh befell him)
" tis true midgardian clothes are rather dramatic indeed
,..... well id rather go as such with no confines as a shirt if you don't mind
"
⠀“ oh.... ”
﹙ the shirt tore and she stared again. chest. muscles. big. she blinked then took a moment before speaking. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ earth clothes
are very dramatic.
i like you better
this way.
the shirt was
in the way. ”
" such fragile garments are no match for the might of Thor."
( he was laughing as he failed to notice her gaze at his chest lingering further more.)
" agreed I must at least commend the valor of such efforts from this shirt despite it failing me."
( and in a rip sound the -
“ yes.
it tried to hold you
and then it gave up. ”
﹙ eyes stayed on his chest far too long as if she were only checking where the shirt failed.﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ there is so much of you,
the shirt was very brave
to even try. ”
( Thor chuckled at mantis's comment of shirts fearing him as he looked at mantis. )
" haha
Shirts fearing my might it would seem as such weak fabric can't hold."
( the poor shirt couldn't contain his muscles as a shirt should have done so properly.)
﹙mantis looked at him with complete sympathy as if the fabric tried its best and simply was too small for the job. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ i think you are
the reason
shirts are afraid. ”
( small nod. )
“ mantis. ”
﹙ the blinking made her feel as if she were a thing he was trying to bring into focus. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ i am not from around here...
you stare like you are
waiting for me
to make sense. ”
❝ for some, aye. apparently. ❞
staring down at her, as blank as ever.
a blink. then another blink—— and he squints. just a bit.
❝ … never seen you ‘round here before. what’s your name .ᐣ ❞
@SilkenMischief – rest.”
﹙ her fingers tightened in his. a small, uncertain lean into the hand at her waist, more instinct than anything else. ﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ if this is the want,
it is very loud. ”
@SilkenMischief “ oh.”
﹙ his hand settled at her waist and the wanting arrived with it, no costume on it at all. mantis’s breath went thin. she did not step back. she only looked up at him, eyes wide, like the truth was clear.﹚
⠀⠀⠀“ you stopped talking.
that is all right.
i can feel the –
