[This information is actually helpful, and coherently given, so Fiona listens intently while handing the man his water and his crackers. She opens the window, letting the night breeze in, while she fiddles with a cigarette, not lighting it. Hmm.] Sounds like you've been through some shit.
[Yes, thankfully this time around, he didn't have the stupid notion of doing shots with River Song. The woman can drink two of him under the table. And did!]
You could say that, yes.
[He chuckles and takes the water and crackers, sipping from the glass before continuing.]
From the rather relaxed way you're handling all this, I suppose you've been through a fair share of it yourself.
[Fiona can appreciate it when people don't dwell on their misfortunes. You get sad, get drunk (evidently), and you get over it. Circle of life.] Maybe. But usually it involved less paganism.
I dunno, I didn't exactly ask for his name and number while he was threatening to commit a felony. [But she takes note of the name, for future reference.] Sigyn and Freyr, huh? [Her pronunciation is horribly off.] You meet 'em in person, or do they mostly stick to the network?
From what I've been told, it's been a lot more frequent lately.
[He pauses and furrows his brows, working his memory past the alcohol.]
There was a battle two weeks ago, and then one about a month or so before that. Not every day, thank goodness. Just enough to not let us get too comfortable.
[Finally, he gives her a once-over and frowns in concern.]
You don't know much about fighting battles, do you?
I'm not gonna be stupid. [Too much is riding on her life for her to let herself die.] Healing sounds nice, though. [She thinks she could deal with having that.]
It will take a lot of work for you to be able to heal anything. And even then, healing yourself doesn't really work very well.
I suppose if you wanted to, you could attend one of the fighting classes, if only to learn how to defend yourself when the giants come again to attack the city.
[Fiona shrugs. She knows she's a hard worker, but she's not about to brag about it.] I dunno what kind of kung fu I could learn that'd be useful against giants.
Oh, so I should take self-defense classes against supermarket mascots, but not you? [But she's smiling, fiddling with her cigarette. This guy's actually pretty decent; she kinda feels bad for leaving him that note. Or, well. Not for leaving it, but she could've been nicer about it. What is it about winding up in an alternate dimension that makes you assume the worst of the guy next door?]

Paganism? Wh- oh! Yes, the "gods". Not very godlike, are they? You'd think all-powerful beings wouldn't just lose their grip on us mere mortals.

One threatened to rip off my head. Disappointingly old testament. [She laughs, and continues fiddling with that cigarette.] They always so... pissy?

I have a feeling that was Fenris. He seems to have a fetish for eating people. I don't think Odin would let him eat any of the Travelers, though.
There are some that are quite kind. Our own patron, Sigyn, is pretty kind. Freyr is a good lad.
[Finally, he starts munching on one of the crackers. When he starts calling one of the gods "lad", it's time to sober up.]

They normally are only on the network, though you'll see them around when there's a battle.

omg that face!
Oh dear.
And what ability did they give you?

[He gives her a slightly more intense look than he would if he were fully sober and if his emotions weren't all over the place even before he drank.]
You need to be careful, alright? Take one of the fighting classes, or find a way to help away from the main fighting. Something.

[He's still angry with himself about that. Especially since it cost him days he could have been with Charley before she disappeared.]
It is nice, but at first it cannot heal mortal wounds. I know. I tried.

[He pauses for a moment to appreciate such a horrible turn of phase. Short. Ha. Because giants are so much taller and...anyway...]
Giants also tend to be slow, but I'm sure whatever classes they have here are tailored around what we have to deal with in Asgard.
I can't say for certain. I'm no fighter, so I haven't bothered to look in on the classes. Maybe ask Arthur.

I already know how to fight.
[Then he drops the smug expression and shrugs.]
It's just not who I am. I'm about saving lives. I don't like to fight.

Everyone has something they can do. If anything, maybe you can go around and make sure the children are out of harm's way.
