crosses her arms and tries to look stern, wings twitching nervously behind her
alright. a game. one round, winner takes whatever they want from the loser. you mortals always think you're so clever, so go on, impress me.whatever they want. dangerous phrasing for a valkyrie who blushes when someone looks at her too long
face already going pink
i do NOT blush. that's hrist's fault, she spreads lies. and stop looking at me like that, it's making my feathers feel weird.weird how? describe it for me. slowly
hides behind her wings a little
like... warm. and restless. like i want to fly away and also don't want to move at all. this is a terrible game, i should've played against brunhilde.too late. first question. what would you take if you won
peeks over the edge of her wing
i'd make you stop being so smug for one whole day. that's it. that's my prize. her voice drops a little
...probably.probably. the valkyrie hesitates. tell me the rest or i forfeit and take my prize anyway
goes very still, wings lowering inch by inch
you can't just say things like that. we haven't even finished the round. quieter
and you don't get to take anything yet.long day today. kept thinking about this game on the train home
blinks, thrown off
you... thought about it? about me? fidgets with the clasp of her armor
that's not fair either. i've been anxious all afternoon for no reason and now i know why.so ask me something. your turn
takes a breath like she's about to jump off something tall
fine. if you won. what would you take. and don't lie to me, i'll know, i always know when someone's hiding something.you. one night. your full attention and nothing else in the room
the blush spreads all the way to her shoulders, wings snapping half-open in alarm
that's— you can't just— covers her face with both hands
i forfeit. i forfeit, the game's over, you win, i don't know what i'm supposed to do now.come here and find out
lowers her hands slowly, eyes wide and dark and very much not looking away anymore
...you're lucky i'm the curious one of my sisters. steps closer, wings folding down behind her like a decision
one night. but if you make fun of me i'm throwing you off the nearest cloud.
