relationship aesthetic post for @moonhoundman & @lightlydusted

She’s sniffing at him, his face, teeth bared clearly oblivious to his struggling, his gasping for air. 

“You smell like my brother.” 

“I’m sorry I don’t speak it yet. Hati hasn’t taught me except a few curse words..” he manages to cough out, but something else has caught her eye. 

“You bear the marks of Loki and Hati”

“Look maybe this is a bad idea, but who the hell are you? Because if you’re one of Hati’s supernatural.....partners..I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything, I was just grabbing my jacket...I have a key and I should have knocked first but I didn’t know.”

The redhead looks bored at his explanation, her arms crossed across her chest.

“Who are you?” It’s a snarl, her accent thick,hard to place, but he’s a doctor who has had to deal with more than that. 

“Alex...Alexander McCormack. Hati’s....my...” He hesitates slightly. “Friend...”

“Why hesitate, Alexander?” 

“Because I’m not used to being choked when I get my jacket, who are you?” 

She flares her nostrils, watching him from a distance now, he’s more than a little calm which means he’s probably telling the truth, plus she would recognize Loki’s mark anywhere and he didn’t give that out lightly. 

“Skoll.” 

There’s a flash of different emotions across his face, first off being confused. 

“Skoll the sunchaser, the wolf who mocks.” He looks resigned to his fate. 

At this she perks up moving closer, her entire position shifting, becoming like an excited puppy. 

“You know?”

“Of course, but...the script says...brothers?”

There is a pout from the redhead as she looks down, hair falling in her face. 

“Still brothers though when...I fell I decided a new form..one people would not recognize would be best. I came looking for my brother. I found him.” 

The doctor makes a no duh face. 

“Just...maybe you better not tell Hati about all of this.” 

“I can not promise this Alexander, but I will let him know you came to get your things.”

Máni felt stiff and sore all over, and it was not a familiar sensation. When Hati spoke up, the moon god shifted, ankle-shackle clanking as he edged a bit closer. 

NOW you’re talking.

I notice that I now appear to owe you one and congrats on that lil’ achievement so I guess we better talk. What’s your flavor, M?

He's a messed-up pup gramps, but what else would you expect from this family? :D

Shhh, come hither and let grandpa Loki help salve some of those internal wounds. Goodness knows this family has had enough suffering.

Loki and Boda looking into the distance, saying in unison, "...he's here..."

“Ya like war, huh?”

Small man. Buddy of Stone’s. Maybe more than that, the way they bicker. Smells like incense and leather. White handkerchief over mouth and jaw. The way he talks, lisping and blurred, the mouth’s damaged. Got to be.

Skin’s not right. Livid under the freckles. Bruised around the eyes. Got that in common with Stone, too.

Drinks whiskey. Neat. Sips it slowly.

Danger

It was dark but there were always night owls roaming the streets, humans wondering, which was good and bad. Strangling out of a patch of trees Claudia was making her way back into town, in the opposite direction of where she had been, of where they were. That was when she heard his unfamiliar voice. Weakened she hadn’t sensed his presence but, when she looked up, there was in fact a man before her. To an outsider her wounds looked back, cuts along her arms and legs, blood there and on her face. In fact they definitely didn’t feel good but they could have been worse and she could already feel them trying to heal. All she needed was to feed and rest…At least that’s what she told herself.

Danger

She had glanced from him to her wounds, as she heard his question, then back at him as she addressed her situation. Her first priority had been to distance herself from her attackers then recover. Perhaps this man could help her but in the past strangers did more damage than help. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to trust him..
