Urd tilted her head, watching Timon rant with a raised eyebrow. When he was done, she sighed and bowed her head, a bemused smile on her face. She could have easily taken offense at the meerkat's words as she'd already done more than once since she arrived, but honestly...he was right, to a certain extent. Even though her hunches were usually correct, she knew it wasn't enough for anyone else to trust. And it was obvious to her that he needed this, this power play. She'd seen how he alienated himself from everyone he'd allied himself with. Maybe being a bossy, arrogant little weasel was the only way he knew how to connect with people.
"Fine," she said briskly, her head popping back up to smirk at him. "I owe you. In fact..." Urd held out her hand to her side, a nearby pebble the size of the meerkat's paw flying into her hand. "I'll do you one better. A binding contract of sorts." She held out her hand, the small stone hovering over it. She flicked her gaze up at him, eyebrow arched. "You might wanna stand back."
A few seconds later, another crack of lightening split the air and hit the pebble, disappearing almost as soon as it appeared. The stone thrummed with glowing energy briefly before settling into Urd's hand once more, now marked with a strange symbol. "This is my personal rune. I swear on my pride as a goddess, as long as you have this, I owe you one favor, no matter how large." As she spoke, her other hand undid the miniaturized black sash around her waist -- no larger than a small ribbon -- and threaded it through the stone, making an amulet perfectly sized for Timon.
Before he could react, she slipped it over her head, the marked pebble light as a feather and warm to the touch. "So, mighty leader. What now?"
