Asgard. It was beautiful. The great city stretched before the group with water glistening over the falls and buildings towering to the skies, shimmering in the sun of the early morn. Thor sighed, heavy with peace, joy, and humility at the return home. The forest behind them echoed the sounds of life with birds singing their waking song, trees rustling in a warm breeze that flew by, and the water passing along just before their standing place. The sun's rays cast an other worldly glow upon the world, crisp and golden with the sky bright filled with fluffy clouds.

Thor took two steps forward before taking a playful leap down off of the hilly ledge the portal had placed them on. The grass folded beneath his boots and as he moved there was a flicker, waver, and his crimson cape materialized in hand. As he turned back with a broad, boyish smile to look at his family and friends the rest of his armor appeared. It was good to be home.

"Quickly!" he called to them, raising his arms as if in victory. "We must take advantage of our glorious return while time is at our side!"

((I am going to manage a small battle after everyone makes an introduction post! There will be an animal stampeding from the wood in attack. We'll only need a handful of posts to defeat the beast, so as to keep the thread moving and not make the fight itself be the focus--but who doesn't love RPing a mighty god once in a while? ;D ))

Sif & Thor; Engagement

Sif had also shed her armor in favor of a dress much more fitting of the occasion of their homecoming, but as the length of their stay increased, it became more than obvious her companion had more on his mind than simple nostalgia for being home. It had become especially noticeable since she returned from a visit with her brother- their catch-up conversation had been lengthy, but certainly not enough to send Thor into this sort of fit.

She almost stopped him and demanded he come out with it, whatever it was eating him from the inside out, when she noticed his shoulder was no longer aside from her own. He'd fallen behind, and when she turned to inquire, found him...

...like that.

By Odin her heart flipped, and the sweet Asgardian air in her lungs evaporated in a blink. And the fraction of a moment later when the realization of exactly why he'd been so unsettled brightened her eyes, the hint of an ages-old smile tugged at her lips.

"My Lord," she responded formally, her brows upswept, happy and expectant.

Thor had to remind himself to be strong and say this the way he had planned, yet as he opened his mouth to speak it did not come out as he had written, recite, or replayed in his mind. He had spoken with their friends, who clapped him on the shoulder and told him all of the things not to say. They weren't helpful at all. Typical. Yet they were happy for the pair and wished Thor the best of luck, hoping him not to be crushed beneath Sif's foot for not delivering the most perfect engagement proposal.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks.

So, here he was, unable to wait a moment longer. His plan had not been here, like this, and yet this is where it would go down. He couldn't get up and change his mind, after all, and it was a beautiful path with only a handful around. Some women nearby watched, a young girl in the window above giggled. Thor didn't hear any of it. In fact he wasn't sure he heard himself as he started to speak.

"Lady Sif," he repeat after a heavy swallow. Then he recite a poem. A unique poem to Sif.

"Well I have considered the worth of women
Heavy, my heart hangs with admiration
whereas not for the worth of Asgard
Would I forgeo the warrior Lady at my side, nay,
the worth of Nine Realms.

I would sooner be slain by Lady Sif,
to lay in the arms of my beloved bleeding
than to live without the Lady centuries at my side
Sleeping in her embrace and battling in her light,
For the dark haired warrior Lady my love is unending...

Lady Sif, would you do me, Thor Odinson, the greatest honor in becoming my wife?"

Unknowable or not, in the history of time spread across the Nine Realms and even beyond, there had never been, nor would there ever be a more perfect moment. Those that shared it on the fringes of her awareness- the women, the expectantly giggling child- for the moment only part of the gorgeous background fabric. Nothing in existence had a piece of her attention or happiness, all of it centered on the brilliant blue and honest eyes she had loved for so long.

Sif's hands had been at her sides the whole time, tingling and numb. They curled in on themselves as he finished, waiting those excruciating few seconds of silence to make absolutely sure she was not dreaming. She listened to the breeze in her dress and in her hair, and to the thump of her heart in her ears. It was real... Her dream was real.

Then the brilliant smile bloomed across her face, ear to ear and beaming brighter than the Ivory Towers themselves, and both hands lifted toward him, palms turned up in offering, beckoning his in symbolic and literal gesture; to help him up from his knee, to hold him firm when his balance was precarious. To welcome him Home, for always.

Sif beckoned him to his feet and Thor got up quickly with a surge of energy. Heart pounding in his chest he reached for her, one hand passed over Sif's smiling cheek. It brushed by it and through her dark hair, then dropped and both arms squeezed her tight. A hug. A twirl. He turned around with a laugh of joy before setting her down after one rotation and resumed touching her cheek for a kiss.

When they parted he looked into her eyes with his own nervous, boyish expression. "Is that a 'yes?'" he asked.

Sif could not, nor did she want to stop the peal of laughter that sang as he twirled her. His touch was somehow as strong as a million galaxies gravity, and she would never be pulled away from him.

"It could never be anything but yes," she breathed into him once he had taken her air with that kiss. Their brows resting together, her hands draped over his shoulders, curling into his fine tunic.

	"I'm relieved to hear that," Thor said in a whisper as they stood there. He didn't move, save for a soft sway, before giving her a kiss. "We should collect some of our things..." he finally commented after what felt like days had passed between them. "Perhaps clothes and new weaponry..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
