It felt like a punch to the gut, but she tried hard not to let it show on her face. Still...
All this time, she'd been operating under the assumption that Loki would never want to settle down. That's why she'd been prepared to put aside any desires she might have for a chance to have a fling with him. Because what she'd told him was absolutely true: he was the only one she'd even consider marrying. Sigyn just hadn't thought he'd be interested in the idea of matrimony at all so she'd deliberately put it from her mind.
That was going to take some getting used to.
But at the moment, what they were doing was trying to establish why Loki was the way Loki was, not deal with her own expectations and disappointments. So Sigyn swallowed the questions that were pushing to get out, and considered all he'd said.
He'd elaborated on Glut, the first wife, but hadn't mentioned the name of the second at all. He'd left his children with his first wife with her, but brought the children from the second to Asgard with him. And he was calling her a psychopath. How bad was she? And how had he ended up with her?
"So you mistook attraction for affection with, um, Glut," she surmised. "I can't think that is a lone instance of that happening. But you recognized the issue, and... yeah. Um. How... why... if your second wife was so, uh, difficult, how did you end up with her?"
