[Video]

[It's taken Asterios a few tries to get this thing to work - technology is still beyond him, really. But he's pretty sure he got it working this time, though he gives the screen a few more pokes just in case. Holding it in one hand, he tries to angle it so it only shows his face, and not his giant horns and his scarred body. He figures the less they see the better his odds. Anyway...]

... It is clear. Staying... a while.

[He speaks slowly, his voice surprisingly soft if you don't know him.]

While here... I am, thinking, maybe... learn, more words. Easier to... communicate? Want to learn words. Any words. But... can offer. Little, in return.

[Pause, trying to think it over.]

 Am strong. If need strength... I can, lift. Carry. Break. Fight. In exchange.

Okay. Thank you.

[A beat. Is he missing anything?]

... Asterios. Name is... Asterios.

Exactly. I recommend learning at least one word every day. At the end of a few months, you'll have almost a hundred new words you can use.
ragnarsson: ([19.6] Use the terrain against them)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-10 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. You have ten fingers, yes? [The reason that's a question is because he's not making any assumptions with anyone who has horns and eyes like that.] Count those ten times over and that is one hundred. It can be a great amount.
ragnarsson: ([17.41] Serious talk time)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-11 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Good to know.

[He was rather curious if Asterios had hooves or not.]

I suppose it's rude to ask, but fuck it. What are you? You don't seem entirely human.
ragnarsson: ([19.1] Getting his way)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-12 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Berserker? Yeah, I'd say so. You're just like the ones back home.

[He'd seen the way Asterios had been during the battle. It was truly a thing of beauty to see someone that powerful destroying anything in their path.]
ragnarsson: ([19.5] Act in one way and do things anot)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-16 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
A Master? What does that mean? Just someone who can control you?
ragnarsson: ([20.6] Looking up)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-17 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that could come to be a problem.

[A serious problem if his actions on the battlefield were any indication.]
ragnarsson: ([17.13] And then we declare war)

[Ivar lapses into a brief silence as he considers this. It's been a while since there was any friction around the city that caught his interest.]

The abilities we've been gifted here, some might help to keep you from going too far. I recently found out I have the ability to tell people what to do. That could be beneficial if your bloodlust rises again.
ragnarsson: ([20.12] What the future has in store)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-22 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see why it wouldn't.

[As long as it was something the person found to be reasonable, they would obey.]
ragnarsson: ([5x1.2] Making a point)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-22 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Let me try something. Close your eyes.

[His voice contains the magic that can convince people to do what he says.]
ragnarsson: ([20.8] I'll kill him myself)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
You can stop now.

[He commands. Ivar's satisfied with that short experiment.]

Guess that answers that.
ragnarsson: ([18.8] You've got a better idea)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-11-24 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Ivar recognizes that expression, for he's often worn a similar one himself.]

You're welcome.
