It had started with a bland, "Remember what Atreus said the other day?" and unfurled into a full on conversation.
"Ah! Remember that time Atreus asked you what intercourse was? You looked as though you nearly had a heart attack." Sindri laughed lightly at the memory as his brother scoffed, slightly flustered. "Hmph. Well, remember that time you gave the boy a 15 minute scolding for just nearly falling off the ledge out yonder?" Brok gave a sharp laugh at Sindri's offended look. "It wasn't 15 minutes! And that ledge is incredibly high, of course I had to say something." They glared at each other for a moment in silence.
Then burst out laughing.
Brok barked out a laugh while Sindri held his stomach, snickering. They missed their mutual teasing, it was so easy to rile the other up, and both silently agreed they'd rather keep it that way. Slowly the laughter died down and it was quiet for a moment before both went back to work in comfortable silence. Despite the conversation being over, the dwarves couldn't keep their thoughts on the work ahead of them, instead choosing to reminisce about fun times, shared meals, and teachings of the young demi-god and surprisingly warm-hearted giant.
It was strange. How fast both had grown on the two brothers.
Almost like a family.
They two were about to speak-say something, but both weren't sure what words they could put to their emotions-that were admittedly weirdly happy-at the mere thought, but they heard the recognizable sounds of fast, light steps and turned to look at the door.
"That em'?" Sindri smiled softly. "Yes, I believe so." he got a grunt in reply but didn't mind, watching the door as the footsteps got louder fallowed by a "Slow down, boy!" before, finally, the door swung open to reveal the pipsqueak who was already ranting about their day, fallowed by the giant that calmly fallowed.
Sindri heard his brother set down the tools in mock annoyance.
"Well, if it isn't the seed-sop and the owner of em'!"
