"That...might be for the best." Thor nudged his empty notepad away, having been prepared to take notes. It had seemed to make sense for him initially -- marrying the girl was a wonderful idea as was building her a telescope. Hadn't Thor promised to Jane a telescope in Norway?

"Brother...Val... I do not know what to do here. Jane has made it very clear that this movie is not a template for her life and yet here we are, living this horrible fiction. I have not even mentioned the possibility of the apple for she made it clear she does not wish marriage at this point. I have not even broached alternative medicines because she has such trust in her people's ways." He rubbed his head with both his hands and groaned, leaning forward. "I am struggling with this and yet I cannot say a thing. The smallest show of weakness, and I fear she will leave."
