Hello, my name's Tess Lawson. I just received an email that wouldn't die and it led me here. Can someone tell me what's going, please?

I know dear, and I'm sorry.

No. I don't believe he confided in anyone about it. I noticed the lovelorn expressions he'd make upon seeing you with Thor. Oh he recovered quickly, but I noticed enough to confirm my suspicions.

I don't remember a lot, but I remember the look in his eyes. That man will love you for eternity. I'm sorry it took this long, but savor this time, Sif.

I myself am meeting my husband again for the first time in centuries. I'm not nervous, nope.

Well, he does make me very happy. I've been staying with him for almost a month now. Odin's orders.

My lady, I can't begin to tell you how pleased we are that you've come. Despite our lack of numbers, it gives us an unsurpassed advantage over the other pantheons. None of them have their traditional leaders, and now we have both of ours! My only worry is that your appearance may well mean that our former alliance with the Greeks may now be beyond repair.

Happy to hear it, sweetie. Odin's orders?

Why would my appearance cause a problem?

My lady... I realize this is just going to be piling more on to everything else you've encountered here, but... you'll need to know it sooner or later.

The reason I first came to California was because Tyr was having horrible nightmares and was worried about me. So, I visited to reassure him. I was still here when Irene hit... and that's when... things happened.

I don't know a lot of details, but before you got here, Odin was... carrying on with Aphrodite of the Greeks. I honestly don't know what all happened during the hurricane, but it seems the two of them were together during it. The next day, Odin called us. They'd had some sort of a falling out, and he didn't want me away from Tyr because he wasn't sure what Aphrodite might do. As far as I know, she still hasn't done anything, but... she targets women when she's angry from what I can tell. Aphrodite and Odin's relationship was our major link with the Greek pantheon, and they outnumber us three to one. I'd hoped something might be done that could repair the alliance but... Now that you're here, if it wasn't already done in by their fight, I'm certain that Odin's affair with Aphrodite is completely over. I don't know how she'll react.

...you weren't kidding.

I mean I can't really blame him, it's not as if I'm legally married to him in this age. God knows I'm not as pure as driven-snow myself, but... Is it bad that I feel a little jealous and upset even though I pretty much just met the man?

I'll be careful. Has he given any indication that they're at least on speaking terms?

I can understand.

Odin may be able to tell you more, though I don't know how willing he'll be to talk about his relationship with another woman.
