"Yeah? Well you don't look close to it." He chuckled, giving one final sip to his cup of tea before relaxing his back against the couch. "Mm, perphaps another day. Besides, you haven't told me much of yourself."

“Bwahaha! One man tales? Brother, I’m 40 years old, many people are telling me I’m in that “old man” range.” He chuckle, enjoying more of the tea that he had. “What else would I be here for if it weren’t for your tales? That’s the fun part of getting to know you!”

"Yeah, but that is a story I might tell you another day, don't think you came here to hear an old man's tales." The god replied, hiding it's past with the excuse of the two barely knowing each other.

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Your fighting days are over? Let me assume, you joined some sort of army?" Roman wouldn't exactly know what Kratos did in the past, he just knows that he lives alone in a cabin while keeping a good eye on his health.

"Heh.. my fighting days are long over, Roman." The scars on his body could tell a hundred stories, but that is not the man he is today. "Just stuff for the house. Every now and then I need to patch up the walls or the roof, plus I have to restock on wood for the fire."

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

“I can tell, you got yourself a Herculean kind of body there. Speaking of hard working labor, what exactly do you do?” He asked as he took another sip of his tea. “Not gonna lie, you look like you preparing for a great battle of the sort.”

"40 years old and still in good shape, despite what you said." he'd chuckle, taking a look at the man's body only to see if it was right. "most of my days are spent between hard-working labour and workouts. night is the only time i allow myself to rest, with a hot cup of tea of course."

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

“I can clearly see that, friend. I wouldn’t expect for you to magically get that size just by watching tv and drinking beers all day like me.” He joked about the last part, taking more sips of the tea in hand. “My mornings is spent working out to stay in shape, especially at 40 years old!”

A small chuckle came out of the god as soon as his body was mentioned, doing a little flex with his arm while looking at his own bicep. "Well, don't wish to brag but yes, I do workout." Trees, rocks... though of course, Roman doesn't know that yet. "You don't look that bad either, friend."

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Yes, that would be the best scenario for this moment. It's showing that you being social is a rarity, and that's not something I'm poking at, friend." He assured Kratos, he was willing to make this expereince a pleasing one. At least Roman did have one question that could start off the -

The god remained silent for a moment, trying to remember what would he do other than serve them tea or wine, depending on the situation. "Well... talk. It's been a while since my friends have come though, and I don't usually greet in strangers like you." You could say he doesn't have a clue what +

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"No need for it, one cup is just fine!" Roman loved the smell of the inside of the cabin, it definitely reminded him of the many cabins he used to camp in back during his childhood, even when he still goes camping every now and then. "What do you normally do when you do have guests over?

"I suppose. Like I said, I don't get a lot of guests around here." He's not used to be greeted by people, since few people know about the man or where he lives. Perphaps Roman may change that, now that he knows where the pale man lives in peace and quiet. "There's more tea if you wish, Roman."

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Grehehe, I normally dilute it with more beer but I'm being generous inside someone else's house." He joked as he got handed over the tea, taking a sip of it and enjoying the taste. "Not bad, partner. Has a bit of a sweet taste to it! And it's normally common for people to want to view my -

"You're gonna dillute the beer with tea?" Kratos chuckled, his hand instead of reaching for one, was now filling it's finger with two cups, filling them up with the tea prepared in the kettle. "Hence why this place is hidden. I don't want no strangers walking in and out of my property."

Roman "Ace" Bridger@airforcehybrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

And Roman had a typical look round the cabin, nodding as he looked at everything from the inside. It's simple, nothing like his cabin home that was two stories high with a flight of stairs, but at the same time, Roman could live similar to Kratos in terms of using the space to his advantage. -

The spartan could only chuckle, his frontyard seemingly clean after Kratos left the house to take a stroll, dead tree trunks around the house, some being spots to sit down, others to do work labours. "Thanks. I worked hard on building this." He'd say, opening up the door to the cabin. "I planned +

One thing Roman admired was the trail leading up to the human’s home, it felt like right at home, nothing but trees and most importantly, privacy. He walked up to the cabin with his beer still in hand, taking the last sip of it now. “What a beautiful spot! If I didn’t own a plane ranch, I’d be -

" You'd be perfectly suited for the forest then." Kratos lowly chuckled, staring back at Roman while being followed on their way to his house. Took them 10 minutes and a whole lot of trees, but eventually they stopped at a hidden passage, finally making it to the front porch of Kratos cabin.

"Grahaha! It's a shame you humans don't have the kind of fur that I got. Even though, I still gotta cover up at times from head to toe depending on the climate. Sometimes having thick fur can be a major disadvantage in certain situations." He stated before he followed the man. "Right behind ya!"

The woods have been quiet... very quiet. Peace at once.

"Mm, yes. But a warrior must train, Tatsu. Although... now that I am alone, I can give myself some freedom." The spartan gave a long sip to his own mug. "Indeed. For now I have no foes alive.. finally. It feels good you know, to not wake up for a battle."

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

"Clearly, but I wager ya got yer own hands and feet fer that, lad." He chortled while sipping on more of the tea. "Lets me guess though, I presume you and Freya have settle the differences that ya once had, correct?"

"You read my mind, Tatsu. I came to these lands for a peaceful life... perphaps now I can fulfill that." Kratos said, now leaning against the chair as he thought of what to do now. "Although.. I cannot put them down forever. I must be prepared for when someone or something threatens me or my son."

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

“That’s somethin’ I can do!” He said, toasting and clanking the mug with Kratos, then taking a soft swig of the tea. “So, what plans do ye have fer yer own future? I’m sure puttin’ the axe and dual blades down fer a bit is a welcome changed, ya?”

He would rather not talk about that theme, that is why he simply nodded in response. It's a delicate thing to talk about... and how Atreus was sorry for it. "You know... the kind that two friends enjoy a drink together." Pouring some more to both jugs again, then clanking his own against Tatsu's.

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

“Yeah, some… I still feel bad about your blacksmith…” Tatsu responded as he took another sip of a drink, he’s fairly impressed with how Kratos perfected this small warm beverage. “It’s delicious, lad, and what kind of occasion are we talkin’ about here?”

"Mm... so nothing new then." He'd just chuckle to himself after thinking of Mimir's unending talking about it. "At least some got to live." Another sip, then right to refill his own jug and Tatsu's one. "Liking the drink so far? Saved it for a special ocassion."

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

“Ah, I have more sources. Mainly Mimir not knowin’ when t’shut up half of the time.” Tatsu replied, taking more sips of his tea as he continued talking. “Damn shame for that family, I’ll tell ya what. Should have not trust Odin in the first place.”

"Mm.. yeah, just how you said it. I wonder who told you all of this..." Another sip to the cup, already feeling the alcohol run down from the previous jug at the tavern. While his resilience against strong drinks like this are high, it's been a long while since he drank, even more with company.

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

"Ha, speakin' of Odin, didn't he and the fat bastard thunder god sit right here at your table before ya rid of them both?" He asked as he took the cup and took a sip of it, enjoying the taste as he nodded. "And t'think, they invited themselves based on a hunch that Atreus had I believe."

"Jar of beer it is then." He says, already checking the drawers where he'd usually store all the alcohol for those special ocassions, though for Tatsu, any ocassion is special for beer. Pouring a good amount on both jars, then handing Tatsu his own as he found a seat near the bard. +

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

The dragon bard followed suite, removing the hood from his head as he found the nearst seat. When asked what he would have, knowing Tatsu, he would go for the first option. "Provide me with a beer, lad. I can still shove a couple of ounces into me stomach." He chortled, pleased to be with Kratos.

"You get used to it." Kratos replied as they stepped onto the warm cabin, a safe heaven unlike the outside with it's freezing cold. "Mm..." A low grumble can be heard, deep from his throat. Still as grumpy as ever. As Tatsu got comfortable, Kratos went to the kitchen and stared at him. +

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

And as soon as Tatsu stepped foot into the cold environment of Midgard, the dragon immediately placed on his hood over his head, making sure the larger furred cloak covers most of his body. “Bloody hell, I’m really not a fan of the cold. Feel like I already got frostbite in me toes.” He -

Kratos chuckled back before entering the portal after Tatsu. The cold and now safe lands of Midgard were shown to the two, with a view of Kratos's cabin right in front of the portal, wich eventually fell back to it's place as simple rocks. "You get used to it." He replied, now walking towards -

“Get me drunk enough and I’ll be the first, unless there’s invisible barriers that I can’t see.” He chuckled as he walked on the tree before reaching the next portal back into the snowy depths of Midgard. “Sheesh, I prefer the weather in Asgard if ya ask me. Hehe, and thanks lad.”

"Yeah. But unlikely to ever happen." He says after stepping in. He likes to take a small walk around the place before the portal shows up. Once the wait is done Kratos goes through the portal, finally getting back to his home. "After you, my friend." He said to Tatsu once on the other side.

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · last yr.

“Very well.” Tatsu said as he finished his drink, placing it down and tossed the dealer a hacksilver or two as tip before walking out the door. He followed the god to the said portal, waiting for it to open to bring him to Kratos’ region. “Ahh, only thing I don’t like about this route is the -

"I suppose." Couldn't say if Tatsu was right or not. Hopefully this is one of the last accidents from the god for a while. But perphaps with Tatsu, he may get that deserved rest he's been aching for. "Good. Follow me then." Leading the way to the nearest yggdrasil door, where they can quickly -

“Might as well keep ya company before ya head off and ruin another realm, I guess this is what happens if ya get too lonely these days, huh?” He made a slightly joke as he pats the bicep of the god before taking a sip of his drink. “Whenever yer ready, I can always come back here when needed.”

"I could use some company too. The night has grown more cold lately..." He replied, happy to hear that his old friend will join him tonight. "You can stay here longer if you wish. Or come with me and watch me clean up my own mess."

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Headed back t'Midgard already? Well, I guess with how commutes work these days, I can always return here if I need more hacksilver for the future." It was an agreement. "I don't mind a quiet night with ya, lad. Could use it after spendin' the last week dealin' with loud residents in the tavern."

"Mm. Let's just say I have been through a lot." As if killing the ruler of these lands wasn't a lot already, yet there he was, becoming a better man step by step. "You're always welcome, dear Tatsu. Just let me know if you'll come by today or later. I wanted to make a stew for the cold nights."

Tatsuya O’Brien 🍀@thecelticdrake.bsky.social · 2y ago

“Gods, it’s nice t’see how much ya changed. Eons ago, you utterin’ the word peace with such benevolence would be a rarity!” He chortled as he took a sip of his drink. “Well after I’m done with my duties here, I’d make enough hacksilver t’last a month, guess I can spend a few nights with ya.”

Peacefully snoozing in the warmth of his home, dick and entire chest exposed to any spying eyes as his face is covered by a pillow, both of his arms hugged to it. A needed break after a lnng day of work.

What a quiet day... Perfect for some tea.
