[The audio feed catches the sound of waves and it is clear he is on the top deck.]

There is a reason no one travels by boat anymore. If the maiyu attacks us out here, don't ask me to help. I'm not helping.

[And that's final.]

Five-Five years? You will forgive me. This all a lot to take in.

Video etc etc etc

[Talia hates having to be the one to tell you this stuff, Odin.]

Five years between this vessel and another that left us stranded on a deserted island. [Deserted except by survivors... And bodies. So many bodies.] I've been on this vessel for just over a month and it looks as though we are to expect a long voyage.

[A beat.]

I'm Talia... Have you a name? [It's not sarcastic when she asks, not passive aggressive; some people don't.]

Livin that audio lyf

[wattage]

[There isn't much to say to that. If he's here then what is happening in his own world? There'd been a storm brewing and the sea was angry. A sign that something big was happening. They needed him.]

Odin. Can I go back?

[thequeensown]

[Her smile falls entirely and she shakes her head once.]

No, we have found no way back to any of our worlds.

[Sorry, boo.]

[wattage]

[He runs a hand through his curls then wrings his hands uselessly. Shit.]

I do not believe you.

[He doesn't sound angry or upset. Just. Resigned. He does believe you, Talia. He just needs time.]

[thequeensown]

[She nods her head once, allowing him this. Everyone came around to it in their own time and manner and she wouldn't press the issue any more than it had been.]

It's alright. [She doesn't take the remark personally, exhaling softly.]

If you need to speak to anyone when you're ready, I'm in room 401 and you're welcome at any hour.

[wattage]

[Maybe he would. He's not entirely sure how to feel right now. All those people would be dead without the asger and he's certainly not the most powerful one there was. Not without Warshaw anyway. There were others. They would be okay. He hoped.]

Thank you for your help.
