Sixth Incision [Voice, Action]

[Action, Part One]

[It's been several days since the Kin'Corans have returned home -- several days in which Syre has been oddly at ease with herself.]

[Today, however, she feels... anxious. antsy, even.]

[The rush of recently arrived New Feathers make her want to go out and about, possibly get acquainted with some of the new faces. Of course, anyone she already knows is free to bump into her, as well!]

[Voice]

[Later in the evening, she sets up a feed for a little voice chat.]

Good evening, friends and New Feathers -- that is to say, anyone that has just recently arrived to our fine enclosure... My name is Syre Atries.

Rather than waste your time with a wordy introduction, I'd like to pose a question.

Are any of you interested in the sciences? Biology, specifically. I've been wanting to get back to my research as of late, and it's quite hard to hold a discussion when there are so few that enjoy it as much as I do...

[Action, Part Two]

[Then, later that night, Syre is going to be roaming about the plaza. More specifically, she's going to be people watching -- the few people that are out and about at this time of night will not be spared her studious, almost analytical gaze.]

[Those of you that notice her watching are free to question why she's staring at you like a scientist would study a lab rat, of course.]

I'm interested in all sciences, though I'll admit I find physics far more entertaining than biology.

Ah, physics. Certainly an interesting field of study. Not my cup of tea, unfortunately, but to each their own.

[...] To whom do I have the honor of speaking with, by the way?

Physics is an excellent base off of which to play. I find it rather elegant.

Loki.

Then, maybe, we could have a talk about it sometime. Perhaps you'll change my feelings toward it.

A pleasure to be having this conversation with you, Sir Loki. I'm certainly delighted to have met a fellow scholar.

It's the maths. I'm helpless in the face of their beauty. So be careful, or I'll ramble on for hours.

[Grin.]

Simply Loki is well enough. And trust me when I say I feel just as delighted, if not moreso.

Oh, no, please ramble away! I find much enjoyment from hearing someone as eager as I am talk about their science of choice. [She laughs delightedly.]

Ah, very well then, Loki. I was unsure whether you would rather be addressed more formally -- I don't like to offend.

[Oh, he likes you already.]

Is that so. Perhaps we ought to have a little party at some point, then, since it's not much of a physics session unless the walls end up covered in equations.

[He grins.]

Very polite of you.

Shall I check the item stores for markers? It seems we'll need a lot of them, when we do get together. [She laughs, very much amused at the mental image of her apartment covered in equations and formulas.]

I try. After all, being in the service of a royal family for so long has its way of leaving its mark on you.

[He laughs.]

That might be a good idea, though I suppose we could always make do with ink and pen, or pencils. Sticks and dirt?

[He tilts his head.]

Oh, which family?

Anything will do, really! ... But sticks and dirt might prove a little impermanent. And messy. [A chuckle]

Ah... Before I arrived here in Luceti, I was one of the few that worked in the service of the Emperor of my homeland. While my time with him was limited, his wife and family were more than willing to receive me as a guest for a time.

[He laughs.]

Well, it would be nice to preserve our mathematical wanderings for posterity, it's true.

That sounds like a great honor indeed.

It would certainly be convenient, especially if we come across some sort of new discovery while doing so. [There's some soft chuckling on her end.]

It is. It really, truly is. Nothing in my homeland compares to it. [There's a sadness to her voice when she speaks next:] I miss it sometimes.

That would be a worthy goal indeed. There are more than enough questions to go around.

[He tilts his head curiously. It's a foreign thought to him; there's little he really misses of Asgard like that, and of course it's his intent to be back there and ruling soon enough.]

Is it the warm reception you received that you miss so?

Well, yes. But... it's also a little more than that.

I miss my colleagues, and my work as well...

["I miss having a purpose," is the unspoken end of that thought.]

Ah, that I can understand.

[Well, not the colleagues. The work, definitely.]

It's a stifling sort of feeling. I can never sit idle for very long.

At home [--in the middle of the war--] I had new endeavors to take each day. Here, I've fallen into a routine which I don't very much like.

Edited (I need to remember to change my icon, aaaaa) 2012-09-19 19:14 (UTC)

Boredom is its own gateway to madness.

I shudder at the thought of a routine.

I'd do anything to alleviate my boredom, at this rate.

[She'd been considering taking up her research once more, anyway. She'll need to see if the library has any of the works she'd published, but...]

I loathe things being predictable. Predictability brings with the sense that one cannot do much of anything to change it.

Edited (Missed a closing italic tag. Whoops.) 2012-09-20 03:32 (UTC)

Anything, really.

[That is a dangerous, beautiful word. It's one Loki likes.]

Perhaps some unpredictability is in order, then.

...if you've an idea, Loki, then I'm certainly listening.

[He seems trustworthy enough.]

I always entertained myself at home with a few pranks here or there. Friendly things, of course.

Pranks, hm?

[There's an amused, almost giddy chuckle on her end.]

Reminds me of when I was young. I was a mischievous little one, according to my parents.

Did you grow out of it then? Sad.

Well... not entirely.

There was an "incident" [--the word is said with a hint of a smile in her tone--] in which one of my less-behaved officers reported in with a set of women's armor on. Pretty sure he began to mind his manners after that.

[Loki grins.]

How did you manage that, praytell?
