Depends on your aptitude. Thor's a prodigy, I'm good, plenty of people can work for years and not be much better where they started percentile-wise.

Maybe I can ask the Enemy if he'll teach me, if I"m interested in a job.

That sounds like a terrible idea. Why would you do that.

Because then my mother'd fight him, and if she thought the army of Doriath would be useful at all in the fight they would too.

...Well, I can't say it's not ingenious but it still sounds like a terrible idea. If you go sufficiently stir-crazy to do something like that and you mysteriously turn up in one of the newcomers' camps rather than the Enemy's I'm going to be teaching them, though.

I'm not going to do it. It's grating to be responsible when I have no responsibilities, but I will be responsible. I just - if I were as good as fighting as you are, I could hear about horrible things and think 'what can I do' rather than 'well I hope someone does something about that'.

If you have any songs besides the crop one and the happy-and-energized one I could potentially use those, if not necessarily for combat applications.

They're all things you'd object to. Making people feel safe, making people more charitably inclined towards each other. Making food taste better.

I don't really object to making food taste better, actually, but I'm not sure there's that much demand for it. Maybe Brithombar would gain a new appreciation for lobsters?

Well, I very much wish I could have instead spent my childhood working on a 'kill someone' song, but it didn't occur to me.

My spells aren't direct damage types either. I wanted things I could use in the conditions I was in, like you. I've got a song that sets things on fire but somehow I don't think defeating Thauron will involve something as straightforward as setting him on fire. Or shooting frost beams at him, if I ever figure that out, I discovered recently I'm not the species I thought I was but I can't seem to make use of the information productively.

My stuff all definitely affects Maiar, I wanted things I could show Mom. I could easily have something that, for example, is very distracting to Maiar specifically, calls on their attention in fifty different directions while no one else even notices it's doing anything. But I don't have it now.

Alas.

How are you not the species you thought you were? Isn't that - something one would know?

Well, normally, yes! However, when I fought the Balrog it seemed to somehow wear through what seems to have been powerful non-sorcery magic causing me to look like an Asgardian when actually I am a frost giant with stunted growth or something! My hypothesis is that Odin kidnapped me from Jötunheim as a baby intending to raise me with Asgardian values, conquer the frost giants once and for all, and install me as a puppet ruler, isn't that lovely?

Another hug? I would offer something a little bit more helpful, but -

I won't turn one down but I am actually okay about this one, it won't be relevant to my life except possibly in a nifty ice powers way until I figure out how to go home, find out if my sister will hate me, find out if my father knew about it, etcetera etcetera.

She nods. I'm sure your sister won't hate you.

I'm not. We were not brought up to like frost giants.

We raise our children to have nightmares about orcs. We kill them on sight. We think it's a kindness. If I found out I had a sister who was an orc I'd tear the world apart to make sure she didn't have to hurt me, and then I'd figure out how to fix her. And that's if I'd never met her.

Thor would never have considered it remotely possible that she could have a sister who was a frost giant. The species aren't related in any way. She might decide that I am adopted, therefore not her sister, therefore just a frost giant, possibly 'a frost giant pretending to be her sister'.

Well. In that case we can go back to Asgard together and restrain your sister and talk some sense into her if she's being silly.

...The mental image has some appeal but I am not sure it will work very well for a number of practical reasons, starting with "she's significantly stronger than I am" and proceeding all the way through "it is extremely difficult to cause sense to enter Thor by talking or any other means".

Oh, and she'd be really annoyed if restrained with magic? And you'd object if I sang some sense into her.

I'm not sure yet how she's adjusted to the magic revelation. She didn't hate me but wasn't fully informed about the extent of it and hadn't quite decided how to come fully to terms with even what she did know. Certainly she'd consider it an underhanded tactic. And yes, I would, do you even have a sense-putting song?
