WHO: Idunn & Esther
WHEN: Wednesday afternoon
WHERE: A greengrocers in Manhattan
WHAT: Two supercuties and the random run in game.

Idunn couldn't really help the desire to go look at fruit stores. Her whole job in Asgard had centered around taking care of apples, so it was natural that she'd want to check out the competition - especially now as she also ran her orchard for humans to eat from.

The Wagener she was picking up and inspecting was no where near as good as her own, but without supernatural tending that was to be expected. It was a good colour though, rich pinky-red and bigger than the usual.

Apple in hand, Idunn felt the presence of an unfamiliar immortal and looked up to see the dark-haired woman on the other side of the stand. Concerned that she may look strange as she didn't know how long the woman had been there, Idunn just smiled at her and said, "I've got a bit of a connection to apples." And then, "hi."

Esther liked finding supplies for her own meals. She didn't always have time for home cooked ones, but with Passover she felt it only right to have at least one good meal that hadn't come from a package or from a take out.

She smiled to the other woman, having only found the apples just then, and knew her to be immortal. Not one she recognized but it didn't stop her from smiling. "Hello. And then perhaps you can tell me which one is good." She meant it seriously. She'd never make light of anything like that.

"Honestly?" Idunn asked with a smile and dropped her voice for just the two of them. "The ones I grow are much better than any here. But these Wageners look pretty good." She held up the apple in her hand and then reached her other hand over the apple box so she could shake this woman's. "I'm Idunn, spring goddess of the Norse."

She offered a warm smile, "honestly." She listened and with the same smile took the hand and shook it. She'd never met a goddess before. She'd always had gods in one corner, and people like hers in the other. "Esther. I am no God, just a woman who tried to help her people."

She released the hand and came closer, "if you grow them, do you sell them? I'm not too fond of the chemicals they put on these."

The name the woman gave wasn't familiar to Idunn, but that didn't mean anything. There were so many immortals of so many types that surely no one could know all of them. Especially if this one had been a human being once. Some of them were and it delighted Idunn that they were given new lives like they were.

"I do," Idunn told her, "but I don't supply to this store." She reached down into her handbag and finding her purse pulled out her card and handed it to the woman. "I own Ivaldi Orchard upstate and I supply to a lot of the organic stores. They really are the best apples, if I can toot my own horn." She grinned.

"I think you're more then allowed," this wasn't her God, but it didn't mean she couldn't be polite and respectful. She'd not believed in her husband's gods either, but she'd still learned of them. It was no different now.

She took the card and noted the address, "I'll be sure to go to those stores then. And try and spread the word."

"Oh good then," Idunn said with another grin. "I didn't want to sound too full of myself. A lot of my kind go in for that sort of thing, but I never was quite as godly as most of them." She tilted her head to take in the woman. "Your feeling is very unfamiliar to me. Where do your people hail from?"

[exquisiteblest.insanejournal.com]

"I'm Jewish," she never minded explaining. Outside her own religion and some Christians her tale wasn't very well known. "But I hail from what was once Persia and is now Iraq. I was loved by a King, and charged by my God to help my people."

"Jewish!" Idunn said with delight, because she knew what that was. "Your people invented bagels and I love bagels." Which failed to mention that Idunn, ever the happy optimist, loved almost everything. "I've never been to your lands, but I hear they're hot so I'd probably not thrive there. My people come from colder lands." "

Iraq," Idunn said, rolling the word and idea around inside her head. "Terrible wars there now," she said sadly, putting her hand on Esther's sympathetically. "I'm very sorry."
