001 | Video | Open to both courts

[ The video shows a young woman, her face framed by slightly wavy hair the color of rich soil. Unseen is the weight of many centuries that lie upon her strong shoulders, and would make her ancient rather than young in the eyes of some.

Her large, hazel eyes are sharp as those of a bird of prey as she fixes them upon her locket. ]

I am Lady Sif of Asgard, my allegiance is to my king and my home, and much as the rulers of this court seem to wish it, that will not change simply because they imagine themselves to have some manner of claim on me.

Do not think me craven, I have no fear of battle, but I will not seek it out merely because a stranger tells me that it is my duty.

So I put the question to you now, my fellow recruits: Why do you fight?

[ It is not an entirely implausible concept to her, that time can be out of joint in such a way. This is seemingly another dimension after all, such things are almost to be expected.

She will accept this explanation for the moment, until something comes along to disprove it. ]

Then are you one of the Avengers?

[ That is what they call themselves, is it not? ]

That's the team name, yeah.

[He smiles a little. They all finally came together as a team a little late in the game, but they made it.]

I'm Steve Rogers.

The Captain.

[ She nods, smiling ever so slightly in return. ]

Thor has spoken well of you.

It was an honor to fight beside him. It'll be the same for any ally of his, if it comes to that.

But I agree with what you've said. This isn't a battle to just rush into.

I too would be honored to fight beside a friend of Thor's, even more so since it would seem I'll not have to do so without good cause.

Which court brought you here?

The Seelie.

Same here. But I've met some good people from the Unseelie side. I've been helped by them.

Have any of them treated you as an enemy?

Not yet. But I know there are people on both sides who seem pretty loyal to their court. It might be a little different with them.

I suppose only time will tell in that regard, though they would be unwise to force the hand of people who do not wish to fight.
