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
