Start Again

*Thor* · 06-21-2014, 05:43 PM

Patiently, far too patiently than he was used to having to be, Thor would begin answering the mouthy one's questions. "No. You are entitled to your opinion." His lack of a physical response to her current attitude was an example. "It's when I tell you to do something and you disobey me that we'll have a problem. " She asked him if he thought they were unaccustomed to being punished and the brute's lips pursed. He remembered the kind of punishments she was probably used to. "I think you are far too used to being punished. It's not going to be like that here." He doubted she would believe him right away, but maybe in time she'd come to see it was true. Thor snorted at her mention of "training". That wasn't training. Training was something you went through to improve yourself. What she was used to was cruelty. Sometimes the line between the two got blurred, but there was a difference.

Ohh, he was already tired of this one's mouth. Why did she have to look a gift horse in the mouth and pick at every tooth? His intentions were good, okay? Maybe that wasn't enough, but they could make it work with some effort from all parties. Their position was a precarious one; survival depended on them being able to come together. Without some form of order they'd be in trouble. "I don't think you're weak." He did think they were scared--Arnporr too--but he held his tongue. "I just want you to be in the best shape you can be before we begin. You'll retain information better if you're not, for example, deprived of food and water for days." Speaking of food, what was taking Baldur so long? A plump rabbit or something might help win them over.

Aksel's arrival started something among the pups and Thor just about threw his paws into the air. "Arnporr, while exuberant, he's harmless." Probably.

The brute's ears flicked back as Aksel voiced his disbelieve. He didn't appreciate being called a liar in front of his new charges. "We have the same mother, Aksel. I was just born a couple litters before them." He wasn't about to try and begin explaining the breeding frenzy that had a firm hold on their old pack, and there was no way he was going to touch the 'old' comment.

Thor squeezed his eyes shut as Aksel continued talking. Patience. He wasn't going to give the girls a reason to not believe him when he said it was going to be different here, no matter how much he wanted to silence his nephew. It wasn't so much his question asking that was getting on the brute's nerves, it was the lack of sensitivity and understanding.

Of course the boy immediately followed his 'liar' comment with one regarding Bera's ears. Thor's eyes flew open and he fixed Aksel with a warning glare. Insulting his uncle was one thing, but Thor wasn't going to stand for him picking on Bera for something she had no control over. If he didn't pick up on his uncle's warning, the brute might just punt the boy across the plains.

"The word you're looking for is 'obnoxious'."
