[Open] A Proper Party

[thorndergod]

WHO: The brothers Asgard and everyone else.
WHAT: Loki and Thor throw a party for everyone.
WHEN: Right after the quarantine is lifted.
WHERE: The Asgard Estate in Hightown.
NOTES: Loki gonna Loki, probably other things. Directly corresponds to this rookery post.

The new manor has come a far sight from where it had been, cleaned and updated significantly, but the aesthetics are still in keeping with Kirkwall standard...mostly. The exterior features a large iron scrollwork fence with matching gates, currently flung wide open, and a cheerful array of fresh floral decorations. Beyond the gates there are a number of hedges, bare but thick enough that once spring has properly taken over, they will likely be shaped into large living sculptures. There are a few torches scattered among the flora, but they lead toward the front of the manor.

The building's superstructure has not been overtly altered, but there are several exceedingly Tevene touches. The front doors, once made of hardwood, have been wholly replaced by a pair extremely detailed, solid, white marble doors. The fittings are all custom made, snake themed, and plated in gold.

The interior of the building is far more obviously Tevinter styled. The floors are the original wooden, polished to a mirror shine by the staff and bedecked in places by rugs with complex woven designs and thick piles. The foyer is well lit by a series of gold, wall-mounted sconces, and a large chandelier made of serault glass with a distinctly magical light-source in the center.

The staff, all elven in matching black uniforms, are waiting just inside the threshold and are ready to assist anyone who requires it. First and foremost they will offer to take any coats and curtsy with proper depth to anyone who passes by.

There is still some construction going on, deeper in the house, but it is up the grand staircase and beyond the realm of the party. Occasional hammer-falls resound from upstairs but they can only be heard if one is being very quiet.

It's... cute, almost. The praise is a blatant attempt at manipulation and Thor has to shake his head.

Thor takes the letter. "I need more than a promise that depends upon you getting out of here." There is no guarantee Benedict will survive long here. "I will need you to make it worth it for me. I will get the letter out and you will find a way to pay me back."

Can the little Artemaeus do that? Thor doesn't know. It would be interesting to see if there's any use to the man, though.

A bit of the light goes out of Bene's eyes, and he sighs in growing discouragement. Always the payback. How many dicks does he have to suck to get one bloody letter sent?

"Of course," he says, pushing his hair back out of his face in a gesture that's more anxious than flirty.

[thorndergod]

"Good," Thor says with a nod. Is it the thought of hard work that gets the younger man upset? Benedict has much to learn if he's going to survive even past getting out of Inquisition custody.

"Keep your ear to the ground. If there is any information that you believe I will find important, you will share it. Are we agreed?"

[altusimperius]

Yes. Hard work.
"Right. Agreed." This was easier than anticipated, and if it goes well he may even be able to use it as leverage to make Loki do what he wants. A guy can dream.
