suomi_thunderAarne hadn't celebrated holidays properly in over a year which left him feeling disconnected. Giant bonfires in the streets and rampant reindeer were frowned upon in most civilized cities, unless of course the punks were involved, then that was arson not celebrations.. ok, well for the punks it was a celebration but not for a Saami.
In the Nexus though, oh here he could do whatever he wanted, or that was what he had learned in his few visits. He had been planning and cooking and collecting. The gods probably don't even know where he stirred up reindeer from in the Nexus but he has and Mouka was happy to have a job keeping them corralled. His usual rock gear is augmented with his family necklace and oddly doesn't look too out of place with rest of his wildness.
He didn't have a lot but parties always started this way. The host had some things and then people came and brought more booze and food, ordering all kinds of things. Aarne did bring Mead, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a a bunch of lemon tippaleipä batter. He had cooked some but this was something he could show visitors how to make on their own. The honey mead based sugar in a large bowl. Strips of dried reindeer meat and juustoleipä, a Finnish reindeer milk cheese, are out on the table too. There are fruits; strawberries, apples, and nuts which were common as well as a cream from reindeer milk traditional to the culture and nearly like unfermented yogurt.
That all done he looked to the huge pile of logs that he had gotten from various people around the Nexus. The Sami added leaves to it to create smoke at first to attract others. Before lighting it he put up a banner of hide dedicated to the Akka, the female fertility spirits, decorated with the same imagery as his traditional drum. It was sentimental, the first drum he ever learned to play.
Drum in hand he poured kerosene on the log pile and lit it. The reindeer spooked at the sudden fire but soon calmed, especially when the tall Fin went among them.

The last part confuses Aarne. "Mitä tarkoitat aluksellasi?"

"Saamelainen? Kuinka mielenkiintoista, kulta. Olen ---, hän on inhimillinen osa minua. Ruumis, jonka näet täällä? Tässä hän on. Seth. Enkelimäinen osa minusta on tehty puhtaasta valosta, - eivätkö ihmissilmät voi katsoa sitä sokaisemisriskin takia."
He wondered if he was confusing the poor Fin. Hopefully, with his knowledge of Paganism, Aarne would understand what Balthazar meant by a spirit residing inside another living being.

Seth was certainly very alive and this is what most saw when meeting the angel. Onyx looked down at little Mouka, cocking his head then barking playfully, jumping and sniffing at her feet. It seemed they were getting on very well indeed.
"Onyx? Play nice now."

The angel loved his pup and the way he was becoming more useful with age. Soon, he would be able to pull things himself. At least he was out of the eating slipper stage. That part was good.
"Kun sain hänet, hän pureskeli tohveleitani."
