[Renart shifts uncomfortably. This is why she tries to stay vague when people ask her about her relationship with Monty, she doesn't want to deal with people she likes judging her or being worried about her. It's... awkward. Needless to say she's very focused on her coffee and trying to think more about Beowulf than Monty.]
He liked defeating monsters. Obsessed with it, really. We spent hundreds of years traveling the world, looking for monsters. That, or running into humans who needed a hero for whatever reason.
He would, occasionally. Usually when we were hunting for the magical kind of monster. Then there were times like the World Wars, where he insisted on helping regardless.
Back home he was teaching another Fairy Tale how to be a hero, too. Was more than happy to do it.
[She hums. Talking about Beowulf is making her feel better.]
I'm not sure if the first thing he would do here would be to go try to have a friendly wrestle with the sea monster, or insist on meeting everyone I've spoken to.
Fairy Tales can't either, if we drink enough. He does it because for him that's what you do with friends, sit around in a pub drinking until all hours of the morning.
[Yep okay she is cracking a very amused grin, clearly on the verge of laughing. Totally not her fault, though! Any reasonable person would find this hilarious!]
I've always thought he would be good like that. Too bad he doesn't like me in that way to get to see that part of him.

You think that's what he's out there doing right now?
no subject
[Not that she actually minds very much, since the traveling is still nice.]
no subject
[Trust him, that's one thing that will never go extinct.]

[Heroes like Steve, heroes like Beowulf could maybe be?]

[He misses that man.]
I hope I get to meet your dumbass one day.

[Steve would almost certainly go for the second option, if he didn't spend his whole time just following Bucky around like an abandoned puppy.]
Pretty sure Steve would love you.
no subject
[Sleep isn't exactly a necessity for a Fairy Tale.]
Would he? I'm not exactly an upstanding citizen.

I think Beowulf would like you. He'd want to take you out drinking.
no subject
[Not since the serum, anyway, even as bastardised as it is.]
Well-- I guess I can here, I have been, but I shouldn't be able to.

no subject
[He pushes a hand through his hair.]
I only ever really had Steve, and drinking wasn't an option for us before the war.
no subject
[She became a master of getting out of paying her bar tab.]
Well, maybe we should go drinking here, sometime. The beer tree isn't the same as a proper pub, but it could still be fun.
[As long as she very carefully regulates how much she has it should be fine, right?]
no subject
[He shouldn't be able to get drunk, but he can here.]
The last time I did that, I ended up on John's bed in the middle of the night.
no subject
Really?
[He probably doesn't realize what that sounds like, right??]
no subject
[It's embarrassing, okay?]
He was good about it, though, made me stay all night.
no subject
Was it a nice night, then?
no subject
[He's not about to delve into the reasons why he was drunk, but does he seem like the sort of person to end up on a friend's bed for no reason?]
But John was-- good, I guess he was what I needed at the time.
no subject
I've always thought he would be good like that. Too bad he doesn't like me in that way to get to see that part of him.
no subject
He'd probably be more open to you, uh, that way, if you didn't tease him so much.
no subject
Yeah? People are usually receptive to friendly teasing? [She just. Rests her chin in her hand.] How do you think I should act around him?
