[There has always been a gap between gods and mortals. A gulf that cannot wholly be crossed, though two may meet almost in the middle. He's reminded of that gap in this moment-
Odinson has had lovers before. Some he parted from amicably, some not, some he knew for decades, others just a single night. Some are dead now; actually many are, if he thinks of it. Mortals who've passed over into some kind of mystery. Passed over like he never will. He will go to Valhalla to feast, or he will go to Hel to suffer, and in time... return. Mortals always find they have need of him, and so he returns.
Leaving had been hard, it had pained him to think of leaving her alone here, but it had not been impossible. It had almost been harder to leave Loki, knowing that his brother would use it as a weapon against himself.
He had not thought of how hard it would be for her to be left. Silence fills the clearing as she takes his hand in hers. His face is somber, thoughtful. Things here were not easy for her, he knew. Things were too different from the world she knew. ]
Thank you. [He wishes he knew what else to say. He puts his other hand on hers, bowing his head.]
