...in the heart of Valhalla," I emphasize heavily on Valhalla. He doesn't look quite that confused, but I give him a few seconds to let that sink in before I add, "Yes. You are dead..." Surprisingly he doesn't break into hysterics or worse yet is too see a full grown, well-bloodied warrior weeping.

Quietly he nurses his ale. I begin to wonder though if he wasn't a silent berserker. "On the bright side though you wound up here and not Hel," I say brightly to break the silence. "You've dined on Sæhrímnir, masterfully prepared by our very own Andhrímnir. You've dined upon morsels few will ever know about." Somehow that little spiel didn't have the effect I had hoped.

Looking over my shoulder at the clock I wonder just how long I'm going to be here. My shift was supposed to have ended a few hours ago. The only movements he is making only require his lips to coordinate with one of his arms. Lowering my voice I begin to give some advice, "Look, I know sometime you're supposed to met the Allfather. There must have been some scheduling snafu, because he's been rather indisposed since this morning." I pause almost wishing I didn't know as much as I did. "Æsir things..." I wave my hand 'mystically' to indicate I wasn't going to really get into it. He'd hear the rumors soon enough for himself.

"But...?"

"But what are you supposed to do," I finish his question, while I begin to dig in my pocket for Tyr's card. He is Odin's man, surely he'd know about the scheduling or new housing for the chosen. I scribble down Tyr's number on a blank ticket and hand it over. "This is Tyr's number. I'm sure he can get you fixed up temporarily." He gives me a sad puppy-dog eyes. "I'm only a waitress," I laugh. "But I work the early shift and through the lunch rush. Sit in my section if you want to see me again."

He calls after me for my name as I begin to walk away with his finished platters. "Mist," I reply over my shoulder with a wink. "You never know if being in my presence brings good or ill luck." Coincidently, I wonder if giving Tyr's number was going to be good or ill luck for myself...
