[ Norway hardly moves to acknowledge the other presence. It is not strange to find hikers about, rather it is strange that there are not more. Perhaps air conditioners trap them indoors now; a shame that they would miss this sunset. At the very least, he can find respect for a stranger who is out. ]
What else can he do when he's run out by the rest of 'em? [ That is how it's always been, if he recalls. Loki is chased out of most halls and unwelcome, so where else would he go? Why he herds goats, there are some explanations. Most just acknowledge his presence in the air. ]
You think he prefers milking cows? [ That is, would he stay invisible in the air as the newer generations think, or find physical form on the earth as was so common centuries ago. ]
[It's a quick, dismissive answer though the hint of amusement remains despite the reminder of the way it's "always been." Maybe it would have phased him in a different context but the current renders it harmless enough and there's something about this stranger that he finds easy enough to continue talking to.]
Besides that would almost make it sound as if he'd do something useful!
[For so, too, the tales had told stories of his relative uselessness, as well as reasons for which he was not so beloved as the others. Why pray to a God who can offer so little?]
[ He turns at that to catch sight of the stranger. There is something that has caught his interest. It is rare that people will discuss the former gods--myths now. Mention them in passing, yes, a way of connection to the past; never a discussion because what does it matter? ]
Depends on who it's useful for. He's clever enough for his own sake. So he's gotta have a reason for coming around, don't he?
