“Sorry. What is… donated?” Loki asked curiously. “it sounds painful?” he asked. “Vikig Culture is basically what happens when meatheads like my brother show off.” he admitted. “the Viking culture was rich and vibrant but I don’t remember much about them. We where very young you see. The viking era was coming to a close by the time Thor ad I where old enough to use the Bi-frost.” he admitted. “so how much their culture was influenced by us… I really don’t know.” he admitted. “I was twelve when the Viking Age basically came to a close in 1066.” he admitted. “Thor was older, I know he loved to go down and play with the humans.”<br/><br/>Loki shook his head. “no. not slaves. Serfs. Indentured yes but paid for their work. They do the work, farming, building, smithing, animal husbandry, what have you. And the King allows them the use of his land, keeps them housed, well fed, and paid a sum of money to keep them content. As long as they work for Odin all their needs are cared for. They can marry as they please, live where they please… well, perhaps not in the richer areas. They may even leave Asgard and go live and work other places. I know it must seam confusing, given how… America?” he asked. “values such things as making your own way, but from what I understand before you where America, serfdoms where commonplace.”<br/><br/>Loki smirked a little. He’d have to offer Tony some Asgardian Mead to give to Steph. For science. Of course. “you know. I don’t know.” Loki admitted. “it’s not a wide spread belief in Asgard anymore. Odin has done his best to stamp it out but Mother still practices and she taught me.” he admitted before smiling as he left money in the Tip Jar. Thr.ee shiny new fifty dollar bills would make the girls very happy. He always tipped very well when he came. Mostly because he still wasn’t wholly sure how human money worked. “thank you for a wonderful massage.” he said, giving the woman a proper bow of respect. Pepper was used to this, so where the masseuses.
