Y'know, going up in space, visiting other worlds is supposed to blow your damn mind. The idea's that you're exposed to stuff so unreal, so beyond believin' that it's alien to you.

So why exactly are we celebratin' Christmas in space? Feels kinda weird, to be honest. But I guess capitalism and commercialism is a universal concept.

Still, though. Kinda gets me thinkin'. How do you celebrate your holidays where you're from? Don't tell me about Christmas though. We all know about Christmas.

[ midgard. norse. ]

Yeah. That's Earth to you, right?

[broozes]

Mm.

I am Valkyrie, of Asgard.

[scarcastically]

Erik Stevens of California.

[broozes]

Another mortal... You're in good company. There are hundreds of you running around.

[ Don't you ever think there's too many of you from Earth? Huff. ]

What do you celebrate, then?

[scarcastically]

[ he does. constantly. ]

I don't. Too broke to afford that kind of thing.

[ and no one to do it with. ]

[broozes]

[ She's been without anything. No glory, no respect, everything else that was at the bottom of the barrel in Sakaar before she used the only thing she had — her ability to fight. ]

Most people find any excuse.

[ If they really want to. If they try to be hopeful. It tells her something about him. ]

[scarcastically]

[ a low chuckle. ]

Seems a little too willy-nilly for me.

[ he's never bought an excuse for anything. never cashes those in. everything about erik is too sharp to sink into that mire. ]

[broozes]

So you don't like to celebrate.

[ Or he doesn't like to be hopeful. She's not going to look at that closely — Brunnhilde is not someone who inspires others. Thor can be busy doing that. ]

[scarcastically]

Oh, I celebrate.

Just in my own way.

[broozes]

[ Lightly, such that it can be brushed off, ]

What would that be?

[scarcastically]

[ casually. ]

A bit of drinking, fighting and fucking.

[broozes]

[ She laughs, but it's not unkind. ]

You would fit right in on Asgard.

[ Even now, when people are grieving. They're strong, and she wants to be their guardian. ]

[scarcastically]

Maybe.

[ he doubts it though. ]
