cordelia chase, loki laufeyson

WHO: Loki Laufeyson & Cordelia Chase
WHAT: Loki arrives at the local occult shop to acquire some items and hopefully, teach Cordelia how to pronounce some Old Norse.
WHEN: June 5th; Afternoon
WHERE: Something Wicca this Way Comes
RATING: PG
STATUS: In Progress

It was a quaint little place, nothing like the grand halls of the school of sorcerer on Asgard, but what most people might not glance at twice as anything beyond another oddity of this place, a well practiced master of magic could easily sense as a place of power, the magics emanating from within an unfamiliar hodgepodge of energies but strong all the same. Raising a hand to press curiously against the door, trying to gather a greater understanding of the situation he was able to walk into, the strings of energy that he could feel twinging for some sort of escape wound around his fingers, attracted to and playing around his own magic before he pushed open the door and stepped inside, casting a glance around.

He'd dressed down for the event, figuring that striding into the shop in his full armor, even without the battle accoutrements, would hardly make the impression of someone who was willing to cooperate with those who were able to provide him with the items that he might require. While he was still unaware of what had arrived, it stood to reason that if he had been asked how to pronounce Yggdrasil that some items from the world tree had found there way into this realm. With any luck, they would be both the items that he hoped that they might be and that he may make the required impression to be allowed access. And as it was unlikely that Sif or Thor would be requiring any of the items, he had every intention of at least trying to make the necessary impression. There was no sense in them going unused.

"Hello?" Loki called after a moment of lingering in the doorway, closing the door behind him and taking a slow, deep breath and feeling himself rather instantly comforted by the environment. It might not have been Asgardian, but the ripple of magic and the smell of old tomes was more familiar than anything that his homeworld might have had to offer now.

Loki was still getting used to this place, all the little Midgardian advancements that seemed to be for little or no reason other than avoiding an extra bit of labor, and as she set the PDA down in front of him, he regarded it with a slight air of suspicion before nodding, "I suppose that will work as well." Though, it was likely to work better as Cordelia probably wouldn't be able to transcribe everything that he said. As much All-Tongue as he was using, there were limits to even it when delving into these areas. "And I would say you are rather well protected. My unfamiliarity with the enchantments on this place my complicate my ability to know how to break them, but even then, their strength is undeniable," He said before picking through a few fragments of root and bark, items that would look like throw away lawn clippings if they didn't shine with the same luster that they might still upon the tree.

"Fragments of Yggdrasil," Loki said. "Each are used to augment or support the foundation of a spell. Much of the parchment that we imbue with magic is created from the bark of Yggdrasil, and the root, powdered, is used as a stabilizer in many potions and tonics," He said before reaching out to pick through the various leaves that were in the box as well, pointing each out as medicinal, poison, or some variant of the two depending upon how it was being used. It wasn't until he reached a vibrant green leaf that he hesitated, his expression slowly schooling into well practiced confusion. "I am not really sure why they would send you a weed."

Not that that was what it was, at all, but Loki thought it best not to really share the full affects of this particular herb. "Granted, it is a good addition to most draughts. Lessens the aftertaste."
