THISTLE

[crittersheep]

[You're suddenly surrounded by shadows and howling winds, and feel a slash across your cheek--shadowy claw marks. All your powers, original, sheep, or otherwise, have been sealed off. You also find yourself shackled; shadowy tendrils keeping you in place, wrapped around your wrists and ankles.

And one of you, in the center is contained within an orb. You're free to move around, or maybe you fall asleep, as a small of amount of nightmare gas sedates you somewhat.

There is only one person allowed to move around freely--A Weed. Or if no Weed is present, one of you is released form your shackles, but chained at the throat.

A voice booms through the shadows. ]

You will tell me who deserves his Vengeance.

[slamming his fist against the orb!!

Then staggering and going down to a knee, covering his face]

Fuck.

[shortforever]

[Oh fuck, being separate from the group is never good.]

Did you even get healed after everything that just happened?

[leonheartedly]

[he quirks a brief half-smile]

I went and saw Crois, he patched me up.

[shortforever]

Okay, good.

Depending on what happens you might end up right back there. Hope you don't mind.

[leonheartedly]

[he knocks a knuckle against the orb with a huff]

Kind of accepted that already.

[shortforever]

[He's trying to be brave, but he falters a bit there.]

Shit, I'm sorry. I'd take your place if I could.

[He means it too.]

[leonheartedly]

[he shakes his head]

I know, but you know I think it's better this way.

[shortforever]

Of course you do, you're the oldest and have some big brother duty stuff.

[team dad team dad]

[leonheartedly]

. . . you're my kids, of course I feel that way.

[don't call him out like this]

[survivaltricks]

[so like. here's the thing]

[Lupin, with his baseline distrust of adults, is very hard to adopt!! it's not easy for him to see adults as parental and/or guiding figures in his life. there are a few exceptions, of course, but in general. . . he'd prefer for the adults he knows to treat him as equals or peers]

[and yet]

[when Tyr says that-- calling them all his kids-- he feels something warm settle in his stomach]

[he's left a little speechless, staring at Tyr with a bemused expression, features slack. but not in a bad way at all]

[leonheartedly]

[you know it's genuine too, because Tyr doesn't joke around when it comes to this stuff. Especially now, knowing the things he does about the guys on Thistle]

[survivaltricks]

[UGH]

[ducks his head a bit, sucking in a sharp breath and letting it out slowly. nts maybe talk about this when they aren't. . . you know. completely restrained]

[shortforever]

[Oh no he didn't expect Tyr to agree.

He can't actually duck his head right now but he can look away and grumble a bit. He's actually really touched to be called Tyr's kid, but he can't just go showing his feelings or anything.]

[leonheartedly]

[what else! Was he gonna say!!

He's been calling them his kids for weeks now, this is just his first time doing it in front of any of them]

[shortforever]

[Well he's going to get a heartfelt talk now, probably in a day or so after this game is over. Odin's like 'fuck, now I have to tell him I appreciate him.']

[literal_trainwreck]

[Loki is not emotionally equipped to deal with a statement like that so he is pretending not to have noticed]
