In that case, I'm glad. [ And more than willing to spend even more time in the library, when there isn't a feast to attend, like now. Like rather frequently, actually, it seems. ]

Very briefly. He seems— [ imposing. ]

[brosif]

[She laughs, and decides not to tell Jane that the gatekeeper can likely hear this very conversation.]

My brother is a man of few words. Fewer still that he shares with others. It is one way to get yourself excused from feasts.

[astrophysicists]

He's your brother? [ Oh. ]

[brosif]

We share one of the same mothers. [Asgardian reproduction! Aren't you glad you're dating their prince?]

He was already fully grown and standing at his post when I was born. We do not know one another that well.

[astrophysicists]

One of the same mothers. [ She may have to read up on Asgardian reproduction. Not her field of study, but— one of the same mothers? ] Do you have several mothers? Is it biological or cultural? [ Don't mind her, she's curious. ]

[brosif]

[Sif's isn't offended, per say. It's no different to her than asking about eye color. But -- it's like asking about eye color. She wonders at the need for the question.]

I have one mother. Heimdall is a special case. He is very powerful. There are none like him.

[astrophysicists]

[ For a scientist, eye colour may well be very interesting. As this is for Jane, even though it's far removed from her actual field of interest.

Still. ]

So Heimdall has— several mothers?

[brosif]

Nine, to be exact.

[A smile.]

I take it reproduction is more simple on Midgard.

[astrophysicists]

[ Nine, how does that even work. ]

Er, yes. One mother, one father, biologically.

[ Pause. Wait. ]

What about Thor?
