taako;

[inlaid]

[Bryn could perhaps be excused for not heading straight home. It's not that she doesn't want to see Thor again, because she does, it's just that she knows once she sees him it will probably be a while before she has a chance to check up on her other friends. So, the first moment she gets a chance to hit the road she heads straight to Taako's home.

She probably doesn't look terribly different from when he last saw her. Still short, still dark-haired, and still subtly armed even for a walk through the city. It's been eight months for her since she left, compared to Riverview's three. If she's aged any more in that time it doesn't show. There's just a sort of weariness and sense of relief that hovers around her as she drops her dufflebag to the ground and knocks on the front door.

It had been her fear once she left that she'd never make it back. Each week she spent back home in Askoupur had been one filled with tension and worry that perhaps years would pass before she would pass through the portal again. It's hard to think of words to describe how she feels now, standing on Taako's doorstep knowing that the life she'd thought she'd had to abandon is there to recapture once more. And when the door opens, Bryn's face splits with a wide smile.]

Hey, it's ya girl.

[Bryn would have liked to spend the day with Taako to catch up and settle back into their friendship. A few drinks, some crappy movie or a night out on the town sounded fabulous. Still, she knew that there was time enough for that later, and as anxious as she'd been to see Taako, she was equally anxious to see Thor. Her initial focus upon return to Teru had been getting back across the border to Askoupur to save her father. The memory cannister had shown her what would happen if she remained absent, if she wasn't there to prevent his untimely death. However, once all had been resolved, her thoughts drifted back frequently to Riverview and the Asgardian she'd left behind.

While her thoughts had not always been with him upon her return to Askoupur, her heart had never left. For eight long months she'd missed him and hoped desperately that each day would be the one when she found herself back in the quarantine and standing on the front doorstep to the house they'd picked together. As she does now.

She knows that the house is still keyed to open to her, even though she's been gone for months. That sort of magic doesn't fade, and Thor would have no reason to revoke her access. Still, she doesn't know what might have changed in the last few months for him. She doesn't know if anything changed at all, but having been the one to leave...it seems better to stand there and knock instead, and hope that he'll be glad to see her once more.]

[This wasn't how she pictured her reunion with Thor.

It's been two days since she showed up on the doorstop and rather than spending them rolling around with him in bed, she's been sitting next to it instead, keeping an eye on him while he lies there comatose. Truthfully she hadn't expected that Thor would be susceptible to illness, not like this, but from what she's gathered on the network it isn't strictly biological in nature so much as technological and magical. Lacking expertise in any of these areas, Bryn has been forced to simply sit by and hope that he recovers on his own somehow.

It had been frustrating to learn that even upon regaining her powers in Teru, what healing gifts she had did nothing for Thor. At best, what water spells she'd learned made it easier to keep him clean rather than force her to try and lift him and roll him around for a sponge bath, but it seemed a paltry silver lining. What good was the magic she had if it couldn't heal the man she loved?

During her second afternoon on sickbed watch, Bryn wakes up from a nap beside him and yawns. As expected, Thor doesn't look any different from when she dozed off, but with a wrinkle of her nose she reaches out and pokes his cheek.]

You know, this is ruining what I'd expected to be a dramatic and romantic reunion, Thor Odinson.

[valr]

[Kara isn't one to fuss. This situation is strange but she isn't worried for Thor. Her faith may have been knocked around by this place, but not enough for her to ever believe an illness could truly fell the Odinson.

So she still works, still hunts, still ensures that there's food for herself and Val (and Loki, who seems to have taken up residence, who she expects to stay until Thor is well). What she isn't considering is visitors. She knows that Thor has many friends but she suspects that Loki would turn most of them away, so returning from work to find a strange woman in the living room is... unusual.

Kara stops walking as she eyes the woman, running through a few quick scenarios in her head before arriving on the one that seems most likely.]

Bryn?

[She isn't Asgardian, that's obvious but she was able to enter the house which means she's either included on the wards, or Loki let her in. Both of those options suggest someone who's close to Thor.

That means one person.]
