[if this was in person, dante might go in-depth about demons and their kind, and how it really doesn't make much of a difference, end of the day... but, he is texting and about to get on cavaliere, his motorcycle, to start his trip to the western part of the moon territory for his quest.]
IN MY ABSENCE YOU CAN KEEP A KID ENTERTAINED: NERO
HE'S IN THE COURT
I'M GOING TO KICK HIS ASS WHEN I GET BACK, SO WARM HIM UP TO THE IDEA OF LOSING
[sorry nero!! but he's also going to definitely come back to engage nero in combat when he returns, see where the kid's at and make sure he's still sharp about his fighting skills. hopefully thor catches the hint that this is a friendly kind of combat scenario.]
[thor should have a drink anyway. dante snorts at the message before pocketing away the compass, ready to head out with the knowledge that nero is in good hands—with both asgardian brothers—while he's out and while neither he nor vergil can keep an eye on him.]
[ Archer had said it would take some time, and he was right. days pass after thor made his request, and archer had agreed, and then more, until enough have passed that thor might think that archer wasn't going to keep his word after all.
except, he did.
it arrives in the hands of one of the court guards, carefully wrapped in a cloth travelling cover, the ornate spearhead protected in a simple but well made leather sheath. upon unwrapping the whole thing, thor will be holding a spear, made out of sturdy red steel. the shaft is a good bit shorter than thor is tall, but with the spearhead (which is on its way to being its own sword proper) it is a respectable length for a spear, and still perfectly balanced.
archer's note is short, his handwriting cramped and somewhat awkward with disuse: ]
Unfortunately, I cannot provide the Mjolnir that exists in my world with the means available to me. Hopefully this will suffice instead.
This is a version of Gugnir bestowed upon the sisterhood of Valkyries by the Odin of my world. Though it will withstand the duress of your level of combat, it not a permanent existence. If thrown properly, it will always strike true, at the cost of its physical form. Should something happen to it, bring it back to me and I will repair it, or give you a new one.
[ over the course of time, thor will realize the blade remains sharp no matter what, and the red metal never seems to need polishing. if he has someone who is GOOD AT MAGIC look at it, they will percieve it to be a real, genuine divine spear belonging to a valkyrie! or at least, just a 100% real spear that's far more durable than most made by mortal craftsmen, with at least one warding spell embedded into the surface. it withstands every kind of reasonable human level abuse that can be heaped onto it, and will conduct thor's thunder with minimal resistance, the edges picking up a momentary golden glow wherever the sparks touch. :) ]

What I'm hearing is that you wish to return to a challenge.
But you have my word. I'm happy to look after him. [....provided Thor can, uh. Find him.]
