It was one of the things that she liked most about Thor, although there was little not to like. Perhaps he could be a bit reckless, but then again, so could she. That was hardly a fault, unless she wanted to start picking herself apart too. He was kind, funny, intelligent, and above all else, gentle, which was even more endearing when one considered who and what he was. So was it really her fault that she just continuously found new things to like most about him? In any case, Thor seemed to like her best when she was covered in dirt and fresh from a battlefield, and there was something important in that. Something that mattered, though Diana would need to put some thought into it before she sorted out exactly what it was.
And besides, he’d smiled at her, and if Diana had been standing, she might’ve understood what people had said when they talked about their knees going weak. Diana had never understood such, because what being had ever had such power over her… and yet it seemed she might now. “That is perhaps true. I do not know the timeline properly of all the things you have told me, but I… I can understand why a human might have been frightened. Not of you, but of… all the rest of it.” And a human would have been in much more danger than Diana herself might have been, throughout all those events that Thor had described.
In truth, even being the “little lady at home”, so to speak, might have been too much for Jane Foster. After all, every time she saw Thor might have been the last time she saw him, and Diana had tasted war before. It had been entirely possible that Steve Trevor might have died on those same front lines, and depending on who had found his body, no one would have even thought to tell Diana. So she was not judgemental or jealous of this Jane, but understanding. She doubted that had been an easy choice for her.
“I suppose I should be sorry that both of us have been so lonely of late, but I… am not.” Diana sounded a little hapless about it, and well she should be. She was trying to avoid saying that she was glad Thor was not attached to anyone, but how was she to phrase that without announcing why she cared at all?
Once again, she had not had these problems on Themyscira.
