This sort of curse would have been better appreciated by the other ladies in court. Not by me.

Is there any point to this, aside from ridicule?

[ooc: What the shit is this shit.]

You speak as if I have not yet blossomed.

[asofwar]

My apologies, your highness.

[asofwar]

You are the tree, not the sapling.

[asofwar]

Bending slowly under the weight of your might.

[asofwar]

Entering the fall with dignity.

[You is old, son.]

(1/4.)

[godofabs]

Surely not that old.

[godofabs]

Yet compared to this blossom, downtrodden by those marching to war, perhaps I am wise and strong.

[godofabs]

You hear them call for one to be strong to guide them into battle. A shield for their arm to protect them from the arrows of their foes. A sword to cut them down, so that they may march on to battle.

[godofabs]

And lo, it is you Sif, that blossom that withstands the marching that they turn to. The Goddess of War, the Shield Maiden, one who would guide these saplings so that they may grow to be strong like this very humble tree.

And lo, I have found a bard of my own.

[asofwar]

Wise beyond your years, indeed.

[godofabs]

A bard? No, no, I am a man of battle. My words are hollow, yet full of praise.

[asofwar]

A hollow tree is still a tree.

[godofabs]

I thought I was a sturdy one?

Bending slowly under the weight of your own might.

[godofabs]

A mighty tree bending under my own weight being berated by a flower that persists through the march.

[asofwar]

Stop calling me a flower.

You can hardly call a battering ram delicate.

[asofwar]

A battering ram?

[godofabs]

(uh-oh....) ... No?

[asofwar]

Are you asking me?

[godofabs]

... No?

[asofwar]

Are you asking me again?

[godofabs]

... No?
