She didn't trust this one bit. If they hadn't already eliminated Loki as a possibility, Runa would have guessed that he was responsible for this. And then, something more bizarre than threatening occurred - [i]puppies[/i]. Runa tilted her head, seeing the swarm of fluffy little creatures heading their way. She tried to sense the magical signature, the fingerprint really of who had conjured them - but it was someone she didn't recognize, someone she didn't know. [color=#a81a75]"I do not know who conjured these - which makes it unlikely to be any of Odin's blood,"[/color] Runa informed Mary. She was familiar with the magical fingerprint of the other magic users in her family. [color=#a81a75]"I'll see to their safety,"[/color] she said, before casting a teleportation charm - a simple one. The swarm vanished, as Runa intended to send them to Odin's throne room, only to reappear back in front of them a moment later. Runa frowned, tilting her head again. She didn't want the puppies to get hurt, but they were in the way. [color=#a81a75]"... Or perhaps a reduction in size?"[/color] she murmured, attempting to shrink the dogs to the size of ants, but they hardly became that miniature. They shrunk, but not to the size she was going for. [color=#a81a75]"...I suppose they are harmless and aren't impeding our course..."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=cc33ff]Guin Stark[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.imgur.com/R0DGpSD.png?1[/img][hr][b][color=cc33ff]Location:[/color][/b] the Palace [b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy [hr][hr][/center] Guin was a little bit surprised to hear that Annie couldn't get a lock on the others either - mostly since she didn't know that was something Annie was even capable of doing. Secondly, she hadn't considered what she had said to Frigga to be particularly rude or anything. If she wanted to be rude, she would've asked Frigga why her roots were showing and how long it took for her to go to the Asgardian hairdresser. Guin tilted her head slightly. She supposed Asgardians could just be overly formal, gods knew Runa was, and they had the entire Shakespeare vibe going on. [color=cc33ff]"Sounds like a typical dude, won't listen to the woman who knows more than him,"[/color] Guin lamented, shaking her head slightly at Frigga's description of Odin always looking in the wrong spot. She had to wonder just how much agency women had on Asgard. She felt bad about it, but she had only ever really heard about Thor and Loki - no one talked much about Frigga. [color=cc33ff]"Also, magic protection charm would be rad. It'd also be super cool if you could magic us on over to the place where the light beam or whatever was coming from, it's near where Baldur lives, I think?"[/color] Guin said hesitantly. Asgard's geography wasn't one of her strong suits, as she hadn't ever been there before. She gave Amidala, her pet flying lemur-mouse thing, a scratch behind the ears. [color=cc33ff][i]Do you think she's actually going to help or will this be more like an NPC pops up along your quest but won't come along for some contrived reason sort of situation?[/i][/color] Guin whispered to Pietro.
