That was an odd realization. Thor had lived with Philotes? For several years? How is that they hadn't met earlier, then? Well, then again, look how long she'd been so close to Kratos and had not really met anyone in his extended family beyond bumping into his siblings from time to time. The world was an odd place that way. But Lottie had a good point, who else did they have in common?
She tipped her head and grinned at first, to tease. “You mean besides Kratos? Which... what the hell? He deserves a good sock in the arm for not introducing us sooner, right?” Ninkasi reached over and grabbed a bit of bread to dip in the cheese. She loved food and would graze anytime it was nearby. “But, I think we have Dio in common, right? He and I have had some pretty interesting shenanigans,” she said that, over a snort, as she stuck the bread into her mouth. Because shenanigans didn't always mean sex with Dio. There were stories that went like: this one time... in Jerusalem... with a donkey. Which was almost never what people expected it to be. Ah. Her brother from another mother.
“I know some Hindi folk pretty well. Like Shiva and Parvarti are friends of mine, but I just adore Lakshmi. I party pretty hard with a lot of the Celts. Or, I used to. I chill a lot more now. Um..” Ninkasi bit her lip and thought. “I'm not sure who else, unless you know any of my family... like Nanshe or some other Sumerians... Oh! Like most of Egypt and I are good... well... not Set, really. He's actually on permaban from W-odee because I don't trust him. He's one of the only ones on permaban. But...”
Nervously, Ninkasi grabbed another piece of bread, “I was around, age wise and interacting with all of them, when he was pulling his major shit. So, I've seen him at his worst.. up close and personal. But,” she smiled gently again, “Djeheuty... I mean, Thoth, really helped pull everything together again. At least I think so. But there's him and Seshat and Bes and Taweret... and Bast... and yeah... Bast, goodness. I wouldn't even know where to start there. But then,” she started rambling a bit, “there's Nephthys and Sobek -though he's kind of a horndog, I think anyway, I think Taweret would agree, I don't really get to talk to Anubis much but he's drool-worthy oh my god, that would have been weird though, anyway, maybe... for Osiris, I dunno. But yeah, Osiris, before he died and was resurrected but was still kinda dead or whatever, he was so awesome. And Isis...” she paused with an exhale that was almost a wince because she remember what Isis had been before Osiris had died -when they were all so close and then... how she changed after.
And how Ninkasi had been pushed away.
She swallowed and took a deep breathe. “Sorry, rambling. It's hard, I think, when you measure life in millinea instead of decades or centuries, you know? I've lost count. If I haven't hit ten-thousand yet, I'm creeping up on it. I think for my next birthday I'll theme it Older Than Dirt! and make a mud wrestling pit and have individual pudding shot dirt cakes.” There, had that lightened it back up again?
