Re: Wrestling
Teddy smiled thankfully at the clap to his back. At Thor's other announcement, Loki twitched openly, a look of alarm crossing his features before turning to Thor, hands on the edge of the stage then flailing as he tried frantically to change Thor's mind. "Thou wouldn't! It-it was a small thing of testing a warrior's skill to see if they could assess a person's weaknesses and strengths themselves! Th-there's no dishonor in such a thing! And it is as he said! He wouldn't have won! Truly! Thou couldst have injured the young man! I was saving thee possible guilt!"
Hulkling was blinking, the half-orc still holding the small bag of coins in his big hands. He tilt his head, trying to keep up with the rapid spill of words as Loki plead with Thor. "Is... is that how you can afford to pay us for so much? I thought it was just treasuries or something similar."
Loki looked annoyed toward Teddy. "Partly! And that's not a matter to be discussed in the open! Must thou be so obvious in everything?"
"... Sorry, m'lord. Didn't realize I was."
Loki's brow twitched. "Well, thou might have been." He clasped his hands together. "Thor, come now. Thou likes these contests!"
