Marvel drabble: "Visiting With Vikings" (feat. Cap & Thor & Sif)

[eliyes]

Title: Visiting With Vikings
Fandom: Marvel (Avengers? Captain America and Thor, at least)
Summary: Sif meets Thor's friend Steve.
A/N: Applying stuff about Viking culture to Marvel's Asgardians produces plotbunnies. Thanks to kiffie for the beta read!


"Verily, husband, it hath been long since thou hast brought such trophies to mine door."

"Mistaketh not, mine love -- this man is not war-treasure, but battle-brother. He hast stood bravely by mine side 'gainst enemies most fearsome, and I wouldst fain offer him the hospitality of Asgard."

Sif uncrossed her arms. "Maketh known to me thine courageous friend, and I will welcome him."

"Certainly! This man hight Steven Rogers, widely known in Midgard as Captain America. Friend Steve, this is the Lady Sif, mine wife."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am. I apologize for descending on your household with no forewarning."

"'Tis no imposition. Enter and be welcome."

Later, when Steve asked, Thor explained, "Mine wife misapprehendest thou to be an ornament for my bed. I have long since ceased slave-taking, however."

Steve was not really sure what to make of that.

It's kinda strange to hear Thor speaking properly, considering how often writers utterly mangle the dialect. X3

Now I'm imagining Thor inviting Steve over for dinner regularly, if only because Sif likes him. (Thor, for his part, would prefer to invite Steve over for GLORIOUS BATTLE, but Sif doesn't stand for that shit in the house -- out of the house, she happily participates.)

*snickers*

I'm picturing poor Steve sitting there, trying to figure out what the proper response is.
