Learning to Fend for Yourself

[losthunter]

After a brief absence from the Nexus, Hunter has returned. He is still without his magic, as evident by the growth of hair on his head and not being covered by tattoos or piercings. However, Hunter does not have one tattoo, a freshly-created recreation of the rose bush tattoo on his left forearm.

Hunter seems to be deep in thought, as he taps a pencil on a large sketch book with one hand. His other hand is playing with a protection rune hanging from his neck.

"If you had to face a foe that has abilities you do not... how would you prepare yourself?" Something about his question might clue a listener to the fact that this is not hypothetical.

Hunter looked down at his rune. "Hermione called it Algiz..."

There's a lot that's changed since the Jotun War, especially on the Earth side of things. With as much as has been misinterpreted or misunderstood over the centuries, it's little surprise the language would change too, especially when it comes to such a short-lived species. "Another name for it," he says smoothly. "But it still means the same thing."

[losthunter]

"Oh." Hunter blushes slightly.

"Is it one of those Gods live a long time, and you were there when the language was created?"

[pirateangelbaby]

"Created, no," Thor says, stifling a laugh. "But I was a babe when your people started learning our tongue, so from your point of view, why not."

[losthunter]

"Then you are likely older than Kendra." And learning that Kendra herself was centuries old was a little startling for Hunter.

[pirateangelbaby]

Up until this moment, Thor hadn't considered the possibility that he wouldn't be older than this Kendra witch, and he raises his eyebrows. "Perhaps? Unless she is more than fifteen hundred years old."

[losthunter]

"She was from Ancient Greece. What I consider ancient Greece. 8th Century BCE?" Hunter looks at Thor, uncertain if he would know that date or not.

[pirateangelbaby]

He's familiar enough with Earth standards of time these days, fortunately. He smiles slightly and shakes his head. Ancient, hah! He doesn't laugh out loud though, that'd be rude, right? "I have a few centuries on her, then."

[losthunter]

"Too bad. I was half hoping that you were around the same time as she was." Hunter chuckles. "But I guess I am not going to get my answers that easily."

"I did spend some time on Midgard during that era, but my travels were mostly in the peninsula known now as Norway. I've never been to Greece," he says contemplatively, mentally running through the many, many places the Avengers have fought against their enemies. No, not in more recent days, either.

"I think I will head to the library today. At least start researching what I do know..." Hunter stands. And offers his hand to the God of Thunder.

"Thank you for the advice."

[pirateangelbaby]

"You're welcome." Thor shakes his hand firmly, steely strength held well under control. "Good luck to you, Hunter."
