Sigyn frowned as he pointed out that Frigg would know she wouldn't hurt Hermod. Of course she would. Who in their right mind would hurt Hermod? But would they know she was in her right mind? Maybe time in the cave had made her unbalanced. Maybe--
She blinked and looked down as a warm hand took her own. Then was forced to swallow a lump when he told her she was better than the rest of them. She would not cry, she could not cry. She had to be strong right now, to make her point. She had to.
"I won't say it was me until after then," she reasoned, trying to undo his logic.
But just the act of speaking was enough of a trigger that she nearly lost control. Her eyes squeezed tightly closed, trying to keep the tears in check. It almost worked. Two hot tears rolled down her cheeks and Sigyn bit her lip to hold the rest in. She could not cry now. She had to be strong now. Her boys deserved nothing less.
