Because if you're getting along with someone enough to come here with him - and he's who you enjoy sparring with, that makes him a friend, right?

[For Lenneth, surely that counts.]

[nibelungvalesti]

Does it?

[She doesn't know, honestly!]

[pure_radiantics]

[She nods.]

I really think so.

[nibelungvalesti]

I do not understand such things... but I am told they are good to have, and I must admit it is better to be at this dance with someone familiar rather than by myself, so perhaps that is the evidence.

[Now she's thoughtful and introspective, her gaze lowered as she contemplates.]

[pure_radiantics]

That's exactly it!

[She smiles and claps her hands together in front of her once, holding them there.]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[nibelungvalesti]

Mmm. Perhaps the Far Shore is having a greater effect on me than I thought.

[She looks pensive, sounds almost displeased, which is more emotion than she usually shows. This cannot be good for her duties and mission.]

[pure_radiantics]

That's not necessarily a bad thing. We all change, right?

[ She just assumes it's a more noticeable change with shinki due to lacking memories. ]

[nibelungvalesti]

Gods do not change.

[As is often the case, she means Aesir.]

...Except for Lord Odin.

[pure_radiantics]

Lord Odin? ... Do you mean Leo?

[That's the only Odin she knows and she isn't sure if maybe there was another person standing in for Odin before him.]

[nibelungvalesti]

No. The true Odin, the Aesir whom I serve and who heads the gods of Vahalla. Not this world's warped reflection of him.

[The Valkyrie explains this without patience. She is, after all, a god; is that so quickly forgotten?]

[pure_radiantics]

[Warped... That seems like an insult to Leo, but she's not sure.]

Oh. I wonder if you can get to Valhalla from the Far Shore...? I heard that gods could visit other pantheons.

[nibelungvalesti]

You cannot. [Flat and blunt.] No more so than you can return to your own world.

[pure_radiantics]

But... some of my friends have said they went home. They remembered things while they were there... and some came back as gods too. Do you know anything about that?

[Since she sounded so confident in her answer.]

[nibelungvalesti]

[The Valkyrie makes the slightest noise of impatience.] Voluntarily. Obviously transit between here and any of our homes is in some way possible, as proved by our presence here.
