joining the FLOOD

[ Norway's reaction to this entire situation can be clearly summed up by the expression on his face, filling the video screen: NO. he has MEETINGS to attend, BUSINESSES to keep an eye on, A YOUNGER BROTHER to harass when he remembers he has one, AN ECONOMY to rock at. this is not on his schedule. ]

... Least there's Folk in t' forest here.

[ a second, shorter clip, no less irritated: ]

Too bad there's Denmark.

Norway. Fair ways north of thy own forest, if I'm not mistaken.

[The name clearly doesn't ring a bell, but a wariness comes into her face when he mentions "north".]

Northmen. The people here don't have any gold.

[ ah, someone who ran across his wild youth. another nod, a little apologetic this time. ]

Kind of thee to say, but we've not been after that for a long time. There's nowt to fear from us.

[Ah... He must be from after her time, then? She still hasn't gotten this whole time thing straight, but she's absorbed some things from Captain. She relaxes a little, but she is still wary.]

Oh! Good. No one here carries swords and spears anymore, but their warriors are still strong, and they rescue each other from danger. Except for the leadership, it is a good village.

Ah. What's wrong wit' t'leadership?

[She folds her little white arms and looks off to one side for a moment, frowning.]

They have no concept of the rules of hospitality, and lie to those they are supposed to protect. It's likely that they capture and torture their subjects for amusement, as well.

[ ... wow what the hell have they stumbled into. are the free hotel rooms going to be death traps? he looks legitimately concerned now. ]

That's... troublin'.

[A short, sharp, nod.]

There was a big reaction. I don't think they'll do it again soon. They had... vid-e-ohs [She still can't quite get that one right.] of the people they'd taken. We rescued them, though.

[ videos of...? Norway frowns, increasingly disturbed. ] More the matter of havin' done it in t'first place that concerns us. Powerful enough folk to bring us all here, don't seem likely to have a care for anyone's fussing if they want a thing.

Apologies, we doesn't mean to sound so melancholy. ... Is there anything tha likes to be left in thy forest?

[She nods slowly, looking troubled. That sort of power had occurred to her, as well. And judging by her expression, she's not a powerful enough creature to stop them from doing whatever they like - she'd be lucky to impede them if she knew what to look for. But she brightens considerably at his courtesy. He really does know how to deal with the fae!]

Well, I like honey... And hot chocolate, when it's cold! But mostly, you should really ask permission before you go too far in, and don't take anything you don't need.

Of course.

[ he looks considering now, glancing away from the camera with a vague, thoughtful air. ]

Some of my Folk may have followed me, though I cannae be sure yet. Would tha be willin' to grant them permission to seek shelter in thy woods, if they have done? Only they won't bother thee none at all.

[She considers this for a moment.]

I would need to meet them first, of course, but some sort of bargain can be made. Besides. The city is no place for Folk.

Of course. It'd be no hardship t'leave gifts as tha likes.

[She shrugs and smiles.]

Have them wait for me just inside the forest. I'll speak to them and see if I can find good territories for them.
