Drama and Vikings (Loki)

[Deleted]

Pity... but the sir was good. If there was one thing he didn't get enough of when he was around the other gods, it was respect. That was why he enjoyed spending so much time around mortals in general, as soon as they found out who he was there was always that bit of respect - even if it was tinged with fear.

He'd have to investigate these greeks himself, see what they were like and whether or not they planned on causing any trouble for him - if they did, of course, he'd just have to beat them at their own game, he was the trickster after all.

"Just... keep an eye out for them," He told Beowulf with a faint smirk, knowing he could just ask the boy to do his dirty work without having to trick him into it, that was nice. "Let me know if they seem to be up to anything."

Beowulf of course respected the gods. And by that he meant that he respected his gods. They were the only gods who could help shape his fate, whatever that would be. And to disrespect the gods was to dishonor one’s self and one’s family. Beowulf was a son of a prince, a prince himself. He was a nephew to a king. To dishonor himself would bring dishonor not only to his father, but to his uncle and to many of the Geats intimately connected with them.

And serving the gods in person was an unearthly feeling for the young Viking. He had always served the gods, but to have one here, asking him to keep an eye on these heathen gods, well Beowulf could not refuse. He had not planned on serving the gods until he was in Odin’s great mead hall in Valhalla, but fate had other plans for the young Viking and he would accept his fate if this is what it brought. “Yes Sir,” he told Loki. He would most certainly keep an eye on those heathen gods.

Loki could practically see it in his eyes, how proud and honoured and overwhelmed he was by Loki's very presence - how perfectly easy it would be to manipulate him. So easy, even the thought of it almost bored the god. There were plenty non-believers here who would present more of a challenge, so Beowulf's willingness to do anything to please his gods would actually, in the long run, be benefical, since it made it less entertaining for Loki to mess with him.

"Good." Was all he said in reply, nodding slightly. "You'd better get on with your work." he motioned for Beowulf to get back to the partner that had, so far, been staring at them in confusion. As had most of the rest of the class, so it wasn't like Beowulf was too far behind everybody else.

Of course Beowulf was honored to be serving the gods. It was every Viking’s hope to one day serve the gods in some way. Beowulf would have preferred to served Odin, not that he would dare tell Loki this. Loki was still a god and deserving of the servitude that Beowulf would give him.

It would be better in the long run if Loki was not too terribly interested in manipulating the young Viking, for though he would serve the god without question, he would rather not be Loki’s plaything. Though Beowulf did not have control of his fate, he did not want the trickster god to find some kind of loophole or way around. That would not bode well for anyone.

And until he was needed he supposed he would just have to put up with this drama class that someone had signed him up for, which was quite absurd in his opinion, but he couldn’t get out of this class now. “Yes, Sir,” he addressed the god, then turned to his partner. This was not going to be pleasant for either one of them.
