He does this ALL the FUCKING time.
He’s a wanderer. He’ll wander. He can’t not. It’s an itch in his feet and a longing in his heart; it runs counter to all he is, to remain in one place for long.
But he always turns back up. And then laughs as you’re doing a rune draw to see “What the hell man did I do something wrong?”
“LULZ NOPE YOUR’RE COOL I HAD SHIT GOING ON.”
“…You could have dropped a message…”
“BUT THIS IS WAY FUNNIER. AND ALSO THIS WAY, YOU LEARN TO STAND ON YOUR OWN.”
Or you ask for knowledge or help with a spell, and he gives it to you. Then you’re dealing with the aftermath and:
Me: Odin, please show me the way out of this mess
Odin: … can u chill tho
Me: come on please
Odin: No
Me: P L E A S E
Odin: I could help, but honestly you did this to yourself and, consider: what if instead we cracked open a cold one and sat together in stoic silence, mourning your life choices.
Me: … ok fine.
Like he’s the epitome of “If you teach a man to fish, he’ll never go hungry. But if you sic a sharknado on a man, he’ll come out of it with a decent handle on fishing AND be able to best anything that comes after him in the future.”
YEP THAT SUMS IT UP PERFECTLY
So Odin spoke to me twice back in May and then disappeared entirely. He was very stern and held the mantle of lord. I thought for the better part of the time since then that he has been angry with me but then TONIGHT I realized the old man has been FUCKING WITH ME. I CAN HEAR HIS LAUGHTER.
