[Call to Frigg]

[He sounds uncharacteristically nervous]

Ah, Frigg? It's me. I, uh, I wanted to talk to you. Is now a good time?

Yeah, I know. Trust me, it's no easier on this end.

I'm not even really sure what I'm trying to ask. Getting married has never worked for me, in any life. Even when I try to, something always happens first. I'm not Odin and never will be. I don't know if he'll come back or not, or what your thoughts and plans are there. I don't want to rush or force any decisions.

But I love you. I love my kids. I just want a happy future for everyone.

At this point I'm not sure what my plans are in that event myself.

I know you're a free spirit and I've respected that, but..I love you too. I never would have asked you to father my children otherwise.

[phanaeus]

God of nomads, yeah, there is that. But we could go on adventures together. You, me, and the kids.

I'm not asking you to decide anything right now. Bloody hell, you don't do that over the phone. I'm just asking if you think there's a chance for us to work.

[the_all_mother]

Heh, that does sound fun.

It's a lot to think about. Not just for me, but for my family as well. I'm still their leader and I have to think how it would affect them. Especially Baldr, he's lost the mother of his child as well and I need to be there if he needs me. Do I think it's possible? Yes, I do, but I'll need time.

[phanaeus]

It's hit a lot of us hard. I'm shocked my saltwater cousin is still sane, honestly.

We can start small. Maybe Christmas together? I can join you and yours if they'll have me. We were friends once. I came to visit the North every year.

I'd like that. You're more than welcome to bring Laurel and Julian along. I know it will be akward for them, but I'd like to get to know them better.

[phanaeus]

They're good kids. Laurel got to be good friends with your boy as I recall.

[the_all_mother]

They are, and she did at that.

I feel a little guilty I still haven't said anything about the pregnancy, but given the tragedies going around, I'm not sure how well-received it would be.

[phanaeus]

You're six months along, love. I don't think you can hide it at this point.

[the_all_mother]

I haven't been out much..but your point is well-received.
