Adia has had enough experience with doppelgangers -- both at home and in the Nexus -- that she understands immediately the ambivalent feelings that Thor expresses on the matter. "That's awkward," she says sympathetically. Curious that it didn't stop Loki from befriending Ian, but maybe there's more to the story. She won't press for details, though, not wanting to make things more weird for Thor. "What's Ian like? Is he human?"
The sleeping chick attracts her attention first, because how adorable is that? And then the other chick open its mouth hopefully and her heart melts all over again. Thor does not have to offer the food twice, and she reaches into it to find an appropriate sized piece for the baby raven. "Here you go," she says, mindful of its beak.
Oh! Thor doesn't know about water bears! Adia's expression brightens, eager to talk about one of her favorite creatures. "They're officially called tardigrades, they got the name 'water bear' because they have round, stubby legs that end in claws. So they kind of look like bears, if you have an imagination. They're amazing little creatures. They can survive temperatures -- both hot and cold -- that would kill all other life. They can even survive in space for a little while! Plus, for a microscopic creature, they're pretty cute."
