Once upon a time Huginn could circle the world in a matter of hours. He would take to the East and Muninn the West. They would meet in the middle, perched on the All-Father's throne and there they would share the secrets of everything they had seen.
That was a long time ago and the world is a very different place. He is a creature of the past, a ghost of story told in half empty classrooms.
He is limited. He is easily distracted and that is why he has spent the last two days pecking at the pieces of a broken iPod nano on the side of the road not more then ten miles from Odin's house.
