She'll keep an eye out for him, too, when he returns. He's a god, but he's also her friend. Even if they hadn't already had their heart-to-heart about what it means to befriend a mercurial god, she would want the best for him.

In some ways, Thor is much easier to sit and talk to. She would have assumed that he was a friendly alien for quite a while longer if Loki hadn't come along to burst that bubble in his signature dramatic way. She doesn't bat an eye when Thor refers to the man as Loki's boyfriend. Gods are gonna god, especially ones with as fluid an identity as Loki. "Oh, I don't know him. That's a big deal, isn't it, for Loki to trust him. That's great that his daughter is their playmate. Kids need friends around their own age."

She smiles easily at his laughter, glancing briefly at the baby ravens to see what they think of it. "Ah, okay. Those are important stories to share." His expression at her offer to make slime is noted with a little surprise. Who doesn't like slime? Well, maybe he's thinking of the gross kind, like pond scum, and not the fun kind that feels good to squeeze. "Their tutor might not have gotten to teaching them chemical reactions yet. A baking soda volcano is the gold standard for kids' experiments." She sighs. "I really wish I had access to a powerful microscope in the Nexus, I could show them all kinds of neat stuff. Oh, I know! I can bring my field kit. I can show them water bears and a few other microscopic animals."
