Hello from New Asgard. Things are--boring isn't quite right but maybe static is the right word? Thor is still wallowing in guilt though there are plans to get him to stop hiding. The weather has been grey and in a sour mood.

I am spending my time training the guards and teaching the children, and working with Val--Loki's wife, who is in charge of everything--to make sure we're going to have all the resources we need. I had hoped New Asgard would be a safe place for long enough to plan for a firm future, but I worry that Loki's actions, and now Thor's, have made that impossible. I don't think the things Loki has done should pass without comment or excuse or punishment, but what I said before was true: I think he was making progress and I worry that he's been set back. And apart from how I feel, or how Thor and Val feel, he's dangerous. Possibly too dangerous to left to slide.

Jane is talking about trying to go to the synagogue, the temple of her religion, in Oslo. I'm trying to figure out what I can do without causing trouble or breaking our own laws to find money for her to get to Oslo, and for me to go with her for her own safety. For a long time Jane didn't think much of me planning for her security but now she sees the necessity.

I've been following the international news and what's on the network but it's not the same as being there. I hope all is well with you and that we'll talk soon.
