[their reactions at the shells are enough to put a small smile on her lips, one that she quickly hides away by taking hold of a rib and taking a knife and fork to cut into it. she is more hungry than anticipated; all the more reason to chow down on himeka's cooking. the amount that wanda cherishes all three of these individuals is surprising even to her, but she has to be carefulβthe wounds she still nurses are wrought from losing loved ones, after all.
all those here understand some amount of that pain, but as thor speaks, wanda is reminded of his intrinsic understanding given the many mysticisms of their world.
it means something, all this, and she listens as thor takes charge of the conversation. an uncharacteristic moment amidst all his humorous quips and more immature-seeming contests of worthiness with nero. it reminds her of a sense of more grounded purpose from within the avengers; of doing things that matter, of being part of a team, of keeping occupied enough with things worth fighting for. of course thor would wonder about the gods of this land. wanda has been curious too, but never quite enough to take a step forward in that direction.
she waits a few seconds after his question, gauging the table's reaction, before speaking up.]
There are shrines throughout the settlement. I am also sure the people here would let you know which ones they prefer to go clean and make offerings to. [solvunnites are all too happy to help the summoned with any questions they may have.] As I went towards the coast, I ran into some farmers. They told me about a shrine near a wooded area.
We went by it β not too close β but I could still feel its magic. It felt more alive than the other ones I've gone past around here.
[she glances up, looks over at himeka. an anchor, her very first friend in this world.]
I just got back, but I don't mind traveling again. We could think of offerings to take, though if you're thinking of contacting the Old Gods, we might need to think of something significant. [a short pause] Didn't you have an experience with a shrine before, Himeka?
