Re: Mickey and Astrid and Open
His laugh had her smiling, tilting her head slightly, simply because there was something so endearing about that laugh. “I can imagine,” Astrid agreed, since just the thought of Freyja as a mom just felt… off. But at least Zeus had put a stopper to it, though she got the impression that it hadn’t been all that long ago.

She was about to tell him about the sparks, when the bartender checked on them, and she nodded her thanks to Michael; she would get the next round.

“I call her Freyja,” she started slowly, picking up her glass, and taking a sip before she continued. “Or I refer to her as my mother, because that’s what dad always called her.” Pointing to herself she gave a slight shrug. “Child of a single parent, too, except mine was a mechanic in Phoenicia. He always told me about her, even if he’d only spent a week with her and then never saw her again. But he told me the stories and the sagas the way he best could, which meant that he was learning as he was going as well. But somehow her presence was always felt, like… we never wanted for anything, but we were never given anything other than opportunities presented themselves right when we needed them.”

A slight blush crept into her cheeks. This was by far the most she had ever told an outsider, so to speak, about herself. But somehow, she felt, that of anyone not directly entangled with the realms of Yggdrasil, Michael would understand. Well, more or less, at least. “Did your mother know who he was?”
