[ There's a brief beat of nothing before the image focuses on a goat with really big horns that appears to be...eating rubble. It is, in fact, taking large bites out of rocks and chewing it slowly as it stares at the camera (or the person holding the magitech) balefully.

and then the camera switches to Loki, though the goat is still visible in the background. It really is a very, very large goat. like, bear-sized goat. ]

Yes, good job, congratulations, and well done to all of us, I'm sure. And as our efforts to rebuild continue, I would like to point out that someone seems to have misplaced their, ah, pet. If this one is anything at all like the ones I was once familiar with, I would caution any and all who might come across it to take care.

[ As he speaks, the goat has wandered over, and is now trying to take a bite out of Loki's hair. ]

By the Nine.

[ Loki shoves it away, and the goat glares at him again, Loki glaring right back, before it belches out a small plume of fire. Luckily, there's nothing flammable in the immediate vicinity and it goes back to chewing grumpily on more stones. ]

Thor. Odinson. Come retrieve this ridiculous creature before I rend its flesh from its bones and enjoy it for dinner.

I have always found them to be more obstinate and stubborn than fickle, yet if you insist I will help find his master.

( help... he won't do it on his own. Huntsman aren't quite as stubborn as goats, but it's close. )

[deemed]

[Odinson is keeping an eye on Loki's conversations. He doesn't want the snake telling anyone lies about the goat-]

No need, friend. His master is here already.

[dishearten]

I figured as much.

Quite an impressive creature. Has he a name?

[deemed]

Toothgrinder.

[Does Odinson seem pleased that you're complimenting his goats? it's hard to tell.]

[dishearten]

Seems very apt for a goat. And he inspires the same in his company on occasion, at that.

( he's def talking about Loki there, whose frustration with the giant goat is more than clear. )

[deemed]

[an amused snort]

If his present company cannot manage a goat, then he deserves having his hair eaten.

[dishearten]

I don't suppose I disagree, though if your friend causes such consternation it might be wiser to leave him in more enthusiastic company.

[deemed]

Aye, I'll move him along soon enough.

[There are bound to be some stables where he can put him, right?]

[dishearten]

Where do you intend to keep a creature of that stature?

( though he's more impressed than anything at the size of that goat, it will be difficult to contain, knowing a goat's tendency to eat... ah, well, everything. )

[deemed]

Are there no stables in this place?

[dishearten]

There are, though I'm not sure they're of a size to accommodate your friend. That could be changed, I'm sure.

( even the larger stalls might be a bit small yet, though combining a couple would surely not be too difficult. )

Is he accustomed to stabling?

[deemed]

[Odinson plans to do renovations if he has to. It's important to ensure your mount has a warm dry place to live!]

Of course. He is not so uncivilized as he would have you believe.

[dishearten]

As far as I'm concerned, uncivilized is not a horrible word as far as animals are concerned. If he needed some different accommodations, I'm sure they could be managed as well.

There's a field not so far from here, I could show you if you're inclined. Even just for exercise.

[deemed]

That would be appreciated, thank you.

[dishearten]

I'm happy to help.

Graham, by the way. I don't believe we've met.

[mistruths]

--As he's said.

[dishearten]

Ah, well. I suppose you need no help in looking, then.

( let the record show he would have, though! )

[mistruths]

I wouldn't refuse assistance in getting him to his owner, though.

[dishearten]

I'd be happy to grant some. I should like to meet this Toothgrinder myself.

[mistruths]

I'm sure he'd be glad to meet you as well.

[dishearten]

Glad might be a strong word, considering his temperament, but I don't mind.

( he's also curious if he'll be able to converse with the giant goat, but that's another story. )

[mistruths]

Will you be able to locate us?

action or handwave?

[dishearten]

I think I can manage.

( he can recognize the backdrop from the video, and if that fails magitek does offer a location feature. )

Re: action or handwave?

[mistruths]

(( either or! ))

I shall await your arrival.

since it's out of ac period let's handwave!

[dishearten]

I'll be there soon. Giant goats are rather hard to miss.
