It couldn't be anything important.

That's what Thor decided first. If he was going to lie to Valkyrie, it was going to be over something pointless, something trivial. Something that didn't matter. The first lie is a small one -- a message sent to her from his notebook:
I need to talk to you about something.
Truth be told, Thor had nothing of significance to talk about. The two of them chatted enough that there generally wasn't anything new to discuss about their day-to-day. The one truly significant thing he had to talk to Valkyrie about he had done so shortly after arrival, and even then he didn't feel particularly inclined to give out anything more than just the essentials -- then or now.
Pool Bar, one hour.
The Pool Bar was unoccupied this time of year. During the spring and summer months, you'd find people there all hours of the day, making their own drinks to suck down as they lay out at the pool's edge. Winter made the location less appealing. It was private, the perfect place to discuss something important.

That is, if Thor had something important to discuss.

Thor is sitting at one of the tables in the pool bar, notebook open, two bottles pulled from the bar's shelves: a Johnnie Walker and a newly-discovered malt scotch he'd pulled from the shelf based on name alone (Highland Park Valkyrie). It felt appropriate somehow.

Thor idly writes in his notebook as he waits, brows furrowed with thought.

When Valkyrie saw the message pop up following the newest firm reprimand to her roommate, the immediate thought that it could be something regarding Loki popped up. Whether Thor was privy to her and his brother's business or not, the thought didn't particular bother her aside from Thor's requisite nosiness or tendency to jump to his own conclusions. So when she received the summons, she sighed and threw on an acceptable looking coat and made for the pool bar. He was still the man on the throne, after all.

"You wrote, Your Majesty?" She called as she approached from yards away, claiming the chair across from Thor.

Valkyrie squinted at the lettering, having to take a moment to process the meaning.

Ah.

"That's what you decided on." Her question flat, her gesture at it lame.
st_allionofdoom: (did you just?)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
"And you called me, your lieutenant here to..." Valkyrie held the gesture for a long moment before repeating it uselessly. "...Judge?"
st_allionofdoom: (like a fish)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Norns.

"Right." Valkyrie reached for the scotch, twisting and yanking the cap off for a hearty swig. "I say do it."

"The way I see it, Your Majesty, it's the dawn of a new era." Valkyrie gestured with the bottle, making what little liquid remained audibly swish about. "Follow your passions. Become Mr. Thor Stark wielder of the mighty Stormbreaker. I'll announce your fated arrival for you as we charge into battle."
st_allionofdoom: (you see this guy?)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"What?" Valkyrie blinked over her bottle. "I take it as a rather genuine expression of devotion. I'm sure your Tony Stark will be elated."
st_allionofdoom: (:))

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"You asked for my opinion, I'm giving it." Valkyrie turned her head a slight degree, giving Thor a look of bemused reprimand. "I'm also of the opinion that going back on such a solemn oath is astonishingly cold-hearted of you, Your Majesty. A Midgardian with enough mettle to bear Asgardian tradition, yet you cannot bear taking on his family name?"
st_allionofdoom: (>:3c)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"And what a beautiful way to commemorate your love. A man who lives his life in the blink of an eye compared to us, thereby immortalized." Huh. Oddly poetic. Valkyrie took a long look at the malt scotch bottle curiously before shrugging and taking another swig off it.
st_allionofdoom: (you see this guy?)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is this your way of asking me to find out?" Valkyrie lowered the glass with purpose.
st_allionofdoom: (you see this guy?)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-06 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fine." Valkyrie stood and pulled an about face, striding back towards her room. "I'll find out in no time, Your Majesty."
st_allionofdoom: (like a fish)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-07 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ten or so minutes went by, and Valkyrie was striding back into the pool bar area, boots clacking the frosted tile as she approached and pulled up a chair beside Thor.

"Reporting back, Your Majesty."
st_allionofdoom: (you see this guy?)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Verdict. Right." Valkyrie nodded, pressing a single finger between Thor's eyes with her free hand. "Your falsehoods need practice."
st_allionofdoom: (and a show)

[personal profile] st_allionofdoom 2018-12-07 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I didn't say one word to him." Valkyrie almost pitied the man. Almost. "Got hungry. Went inside and grabbed the deer jerky we made out of our catch." She pulled a plastic bag out of her broad coat pocket and set it on the counter for her king to partake of. Consolation.
