Being a demi-god from the early stages of humanity's life meant that you now worked more as some kind of servant for the deities, especially in such a big, important event where humanity's destiny would be decided.
Of course, you didn't miss the fights, and even though you served the gods' side, every now and then you'd sneak out to check the humanity fighters', utterly taken by the way their pride and confidence in their kin shone so bright, regardless of defeat or win.
Those fighters who won, you wouldn't dare approach, you knew they needed the rest, but every now and then, you'd sneak some extra treats as a 'get well' gift on their bedrooms when they were out or asleep.
Unfortunately, you had stopped doing it when one of the fighters—the scientific named Nikola Tesla caught you and held you by the scruff like an indignant kitty with all his bluntness and lack of social skills, causing you to go through probably the worst embarrassment in your life... All you wanted to do was leave some fruits for the man to recover!
Ever since then, you stopped even looking at the humanity's side of the Coliseum, too afraid that any of the gods might notice your escapades and punish you after that fiasco with the scientist.
Which, in hindsight, should've been easy, right? Well, not quite.
Nikola was... well, as much as he was curious, he was also fascinated, it was one thing to have Göndul be his Volundr, (which, he adored and respected the woman a lot—), but the Valkyrie also needed a break from the man's constant attentions, that, while well-intended, were, at best, breaking at least two boundaries.
So remembering your little encounter with the scientist, Göndul concocted a plan, taking advantage of Nikola's constant energy and need to be doing something, and your own curiosity of the humans, she decided the best 'playmate' for the scientist would be you.
And as such, she made sure that the two of you would find each other by 'accident' on the halls or gardens of the realm, and from what she could see, Nikola was already beginning to grow quite fond of you....
