Freija held up a set of armor and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"All my stuff from Kepler, and the stuff we've been digging up everywhere else, especially now that we can get deeper into the inner messes-- my old armor is outdated and it's showing."

"Ah."

"Most of it, no problem. Got them from the mirror, from Eido, recent and easy to get. Couple of them...." She laid out a pair of greaves that she got from a dungeon dive with Rise that nearly got them both into a lot of trouble.

"We did work hard for those."

"And they've served me well... but they don't fit as well as the new ones, and the materials aren't as high quality, and and and.... And now my collection's grown so big, I can't just keep everything for keeping it. I might frame them or something, I don't know. Look, I got those in the Hellmouth. I hunted these arms, that was research and everything. Lucky finds in my early days, too. I suppose I shouldn't feel so bad about them, since they aren't attached to anything in particular..."

"Put together a suit of them all and take pictures?"

"We've got the data."

"That's not the same, though."

Freiya: h-

Ems: *At the market* Look mom! These candles would be really cool for Aphrodite’s offerings!

Freiya: *puts her dad to watch Vikings and Ems realizes almost at the end about a character called “Freydis”, causing interest in norse pantheon*

Ems: H-

Freiya: ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT, YOU LITTLE SHIT, CAN’T YOU SEE I’M CALLING YOU OUT?

Ems: Freiya, are you there?

Freiya:
