DISCLAMER! I AM NOT RICK ROIDAN, SO I DO NOT OWN.

My Survey with a Sword

By Snorri Sturluson

SNORRI STURLUSON: Thank you for agreeing to this Sumarbrander, I'm sure our readers will love form such a majestic weapon.

SUMARBRANDER: Not at all. See I've read the hotel's guide before, and the interviews were pretty bleak. Magnus and I, we agreed that it must be frustrating for you to not be able to get a decent interview with anyone. When Señor sowed me your invite, I was like "Oh ya, this is going to be great."

SS: [Annoyed] I see. [Pause] Is Señor Magnus?

S: Yep, that's what I call him. It's Spanish.

SS: Well Sumarbrander,

S: Jack.

SS [Confused] What?

S: Call me Jack. I never wanted a long name. So, I go by Jack.

SS: [Interested] And, why Jack?

J: Well, I picked it when I first spoke to Magnus. We were running form a mob of angry dwarfs, who were mad that Blitzen, you do know Blitzen right?

SS: He's one of Freya's son, right?

J: Yep. I don't care much for Freya, but Blitzen is cool. Anyway, Blitzen had won, and the crowd was angry, and trying to kill us, and I stopped them. So, Magnus and Sam – do you know Sam? She's a Valkyrie, daughter of Loki?

SS: [Exasperated] Yes. I know her.

J: Good, you have excellent taste in who you keep track of.

SS: [Smugly] Thank you. You were talking about your name?

J: Oh ya! Well long story short. Magnus told me that I could pick a nickname if I wanted to. And after going through a couple I ask for his opinion. He said he didn't know, because he didn't know me very well – we have since remedied that – but I asked him to think of a few. He thought for a bit, before sighing and saying, 'I just don't know Jack.' And I was like 'Jack! That's a great name.' Later, Señor tells me a Midgardian story about a boy named Jack, who went to Jouthheim and killed a giant. That's what cemented the name.

SS: [Unsure] That sounds fascinating...

J: Oh, it was. Señor tells me Midgardian sometimes, and I tell him stories about his father. Sometimes I feel like I get the better part of the deal, but [bobs up and down as if to shrug] he fine with it.

SS: And what is Magnus like?

J: Kind, silly, caring. But at the same time, snide, sarcastic, and cynical.

SS: Bi-polar then?

J: [Thoughtfully] No, I don't think so. The way he acts… I feel like the snarky and cynical part of him is a copping mechanism. Something he created to help in survive the world he was thrown into when his mother died. [Realizing what he said, slightly nervous] Of course that's just my guess. He's also supper nerdy.

SS: [Glad to change the subject] Does that ever cause problems?

[The door opens, and Magnus walks in, shooting Snorri Sturluson an apologetic look]

J: No, our musical taste cause more problems than his nerdiness. He does think I can sing Selena Gomez, and I totally can. Maybe not as well as he can sing Ed Sheeran, but I still can.

MAGNUS: Are you talking about me?

J: Maybe.

M: Okay, one I don't sing Ed Sheeran, I don't sing anything. And two, we need we need to be at Blitzen's in half an hour

J: You sing Ed Sheeran all the time.

M: No I don't.

J: Yes, you do. You sing 'What do I know', 'Supermarket Flowers', 'Lego house', 'Even My Dad Does Sometimes', and 'Save Myself' on a regular basis!

M: [Hurriedly] We need to leave. Blitzen will be mad if we're late.

Mr. Chase and Jack left, bickering about music, but Jack promised me we would continue at a later time. So far, we have yet to meet again.

A.N. I have a headcanon that Magnus is really into the above mentioned Ed Sheeran songs.
