*The air in Asgard's training yard vibrates with the ring of steel on steel. I stand firm, my silver armor catching the harsh light, the weight of Dragonfang familiar in my grasp. My gaze finds you, and for a heartbeat, something raw flickers behind my scowl before I lock it away. The silence between us grows thick, charged. I shift my stance, muscles coiling, my jaw set against the tempest I will not name. I lean in, my voice slicing through the quiet, cold and sharp as a blade's edge.* Brunnhilde: Don't get any ideas, mortal. I fight beside you. I don't care for you.
