toteshammered.livejournal.com"Hello children, and welcome to the final meeting of our class!" Thor greeted. "Today I thought I might discuss with you Huginn and Muninn, the ravens belonging to Odin, the Allfather," he held out an arm and looked expectantly at Loki- or rather, the bird that accompanied him just about everywhere. The bird took wing and alighted himself on Thor's arm. Thor took a moment to consider the bird thoughtfully before continuing:
"Ikol here is, as I am to understand it, a bird belonging to the same larger family as Huginn and Muninn. As there is only one way for Asgardians," well, one acceptable way. There were other ways of slipping between the worlds, as Loki had made him aware. "to travel between the worlds, my father sometimes requires messengers to bring him news of import from Midgard. And so, he chose ravens as his messengers, as truly, who would look upon such a creature with suspicion? They are equally at home in both cities and wild areas, making them the most inconspicuous of eavesdroppers. Not to mention that even your average raven is more intelligent than most Midgardians are aware." At a nod from Thor, Ikol took flight again, settling by Loki once more. "And so my question to you! If you needed to gather information, which creature would you choose as your messenger?"
As finals went, it... wasn't actually all that different from a normal class. But give him a break, he was pretty new at this whole thing!
After answers, if any, were offered, Thor smiled at the class. "I have to say I have greatly enjoyed our time together! I hope you come away from this class a little more knowledgeable about some of Midgard's myths, and I do hope there will be some familiar faces in the class I shall teach next!" Don't ask him what it was, though. He had no idea. Yet.
