"Well, you know how some of those fans are if their team doesn't win, right? They practically go to war themselves if they lose."

Ronnie enjoyed this chance to get to know her uncle better since she hadn't had the chance sooner. Inwardly she hoped he'd stick around, that the rift in the family was over then maybe dad would come home, and things could go back to normal...well as normal for a family of gods got.

"I'm sure grandpa would love a full-scale riot in his honor."

"I know but- it's not like he ever REALLY leaves. He's gone like, an hour tops. Well, before the war that is."

Was that what was different this time? The fact he'd been gone for whatever felt like forever...just to vanish again?

"It just doesn't feel the same. Feels heavier...y'know?"

The youngest sibling didn’t know what to do; how to feel. Her father had literally just been dead, her eldest brother had JUST brought him back. And he said something that upset mom...then he left again. Maybe Ronnie was naïve for thinking this, but she just wanted things to be like they used to be.    Ronnie loved her parents together...and now her father was gone.

Maybe she could see what Henry thought about all this; or maybe she could coax him to leave the house so she could distract herself. She knocked on his door.

“Hey...it’s me. Can I bug you?”

“i saw too much death here.” -Julian to Ronnie

She frowned, understanding that his power came from a darker place. Ronnie wanted to gently touch his hand to offer comfort, but knew he wasn’t comfortable with that.

  “Why don’t you tell me about it? If you     wanted...”

“Oh I’ve been a long-standing member of the mom fan club. Mama Ima is a badass.”

Ronnie chuckled lightly, but it was the truth. Ronnie (and her siblings) were all close with their parents. Ronnie considered herself lucky.

Hearing that Tyr wold stick around, a wave of relief washed over her. If he was staying, that meant things were good between him and her mother. And maybe they could finally get to know their eldest Uncle. Now all they needed was things with Dad to settle down for him to come home; then life could be normal again.

“That’s cool, I think mom’ll like that.”

[ ↑ ]

"Yeah, and that's true. It's just unfortunate that hers was one of the stories lost because your mother is amazing. But you probably already knew that."

Tyr's smile returned once more. He started to think about her question. He now had a lot more responsibilities. First, he has to fix everything that his father caused and ultimately take over as the head of the other Norse Gods. Plus now he and his sister are on good terms again. There was no way he was going to jeopardize that. For years he had to deal with the guilt of cutting off his family. It's something that he didn't want to go through again. So he was here to stay.

"Most likely not. There's a lot of stuff that I have to do and my family is here so my place is here."

With her mom and Ostara busy dealing with some other matters, Ronnie ended up being voluntold to come here and keep an eye out for her estranged uncle. In truth- she wasn’t sure how she felt about it. She’d never even met this guy before.      Man, families were complicated.

He’d been resting for a while, and Ronnie took a chance to check on him. She knocked on the bedroom door, and before he could reply, she shouted through it.

 “HEY! You don’t know me- but do you want   anything?!”

She didn’t want to barge into the ‘discussion’ her parents had, and instead waited until the dust settled to leave her room. Through a quick look around, Henry was in is room, as per usual. Klaus was exhausted from the whole resurrection thing, and mom...she wasn’t entirely sure where she was, but Ronnie could hear her sniffling- which meant she was crying. Ronnie poked around, and peered into her parents room and saw her dad. Her heart sunk as she saw him grab an armload of clothes. 

 Ronnie didn’t want her dad to leave.   “Hey dad.”

Klaus was no where. Had up and vanished when her and Henry were in the store. But he wasn’t picking up the phone, or texting them back, which caused the whole family to worry.    She decided to do her part, and went to a couple places she knew he hung out at. Just in case someone had seen him.

  Given her brothers big crush on Sebastian, she decided to hit his place up first. She went through the doors, down the steps, and looked around the place before going over to the owner in question as he spoke to his staff member behind the bar.

As he gave her the hug, she leaned against her older brother for a moment. All she wanted was things to be normal...or as normal as their family of gods got. And there wasn't anything she could do to fix it.

"Do you think he'll come home?"

[ ✎ ]

Sure, Henry did wish that things were different but he was certain with whatevers going on that their parents will be united once again. It's just going to take time. He put his arm around his sister and gave her a side hug.

"Yeah, I get it."

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"Oh Klaus is just always into something or another. Like an outdoor cat, they just kind of come and go as he pleases."

It was just the way Klaus was, the way they'd always been. But she knew the eldest sibling would meet their uncle eventually- especially if their uncle was true to his word and stuck around.

"But you'll meet them."

[ ↑ ]

"I'd love that."

Tyr smiled. He really wanted to make up for lost time with the kids. But unfortunately, he couldn't do much in his current state. His fake self really did a number on him. Who would've thought that was possible, since the other Tyr was a dentist.

"Yeah? How so?"

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"Oh you will. If you want, when you feel up for it, I could see if Henry can come by. so you can meet him."

Henry was the easier one to get a hold of since he was usually at home. But that didn't mean he wasn't busy. But this was their uncle, who they'd only ever heard about. It was kind of a big deal.

"Klaus can be a little hard to track down."

[ ↑ ]

Darius listened carefully as his niece told him about his nephews. They all sounded like a handful. But he wouldn't expect any less, as they were Mad Sweeney's children. And of course, he was happy that one of them took after their mother. He smiled as he was excited to meet the boys. He still felt ashamed about not being in their life. He regretted it.

"Oh yeah? Can't wait to officially meet them."

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"So there's Klaus and Henry. Henry's in the middle, and is kinda like mom in the arts category but he's more focused on visual arts. Super talented, I mean, obviously. He's also kinda quiet like her too."

Henry for sure was the more introverted of the three siblings, and they all respected that...most of the time. The siblings did have a penchant for dragging him out into some antics on occasion. Then there was Klaus.

"And Klaus is our older sibling. He's good people but Klaus is always into something. Like a spicy disaster. He has like, this connection to the dead and acts like a psychopomp sometimes."

[ ↑ ]

"That she is."

Tyr smiled once more. He was glad that his little sister had a family of her own. At least she had someone to lean on in Tyr's absence. Plus she had kids to keep her busy and not participate in their father's schemes.

"I think so too. I'm also excited to finally meet all three of you. What are your brothers like?"

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"Well mom said that a lot of the stories were lost. That's why- that only certain ones were passed down."

Ronnie nodded along with what he said but part of her was skeptical, since where had he been all this time. But her mom and him seemed cool now so Ronnie guessed things were okay?

"So what are you gonna do when you get better? Are you going back to Florida?"

[ ↑ ]

Tyr made a mental note of what she wanted as offerings. Maybe someday he'll surprise her with some of them. He wanted to be a doting uncle, always had, and now he gets that chance so he was going to take it.

"Good to know."

He smiled which faded at the mention of Ima not having as many followers. Tyr always felt bad that Ima didn't have as many as the rest of their family. It wasn't right in his eyes so he had always tried to cheer her up about it.

"Yeah, unfortunately. It never made sense to me as to why she wasn't included in a lot of things. But I did always try to advocate for her."

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"ANY offerings? Oh, pop tarts and orange pop. 100%. But if we're thinking along the lines of traditional offerings? Calendula flowers, rosemary, cool rocks or crystals. I dunno, just cool things they think I might like."

Maybe it wasn't really traditional, but those were the kinds of things Ronnie liked in real life. She preferred a cool-looking rock that made someone think of her rather than something packaged and manufactured.

"Well, you probably still have more followers than Mom, so that's something."

[ ↑ ]

"Exactly."

Tyr really was more focused on acts of service than physical offerings. He after all was a god of war and justice. Honor meant more to him than anything else. But sure, sometimes it was nice to have a physical alter made now and then.

"Not too many nowadays," He paused for a second. He was really glad that he was talking to Ronnie as he was making up for lost time. "If you could have any offerings, what would you like?"

[xwildatheartx]

• • Ronnie • •

"Oh so acts of service and stuff, right? That's cool."

That made sense; she knew for her mom it could be things like dedicating songs or art or anything made in her honour. As a younger, unknown goddess, Ronnie knew there would likely be no offerings for her. But she often liked to think of what someone would leave her, or do.

"Do you still have much in the lines of followers?"

[ ↑ ]

Back in the day the Vikings would make an altar for Tyr and fill it with weapons, knotted cords, holly trees, and among other things. But what Tyr really wanted was action. He wanted his people to keep their oaths and have a code of honor.

"Nothing really. I've always been about keeping your oath and having honor. I've never had a need for physical offerings."

[xwildatheartx]

• •Ronnie• •

The younger goddess nodded as she smirked. Although, she was sure if the mortals knew them all personally- that they would probably consider them weird too.

"What would you want to be dedicated for you? Or what did you use to get?"

[ ↑ ]

"That they do. Mortals are weird aren't they?"

He chuckled. Sure, he gets upset when his favorite team loses but he doesn't make a huge issue out of it like some people do. It wasn't like a real war.

The comment about his late father caused Tyr to smile a little. There was without a doubt the old man would've loved that.

"Of course."
