Then it is with dismay that I must agree with the idea that the Asgards from which we hail are, in fact, not one in the same. I am pleased to know that Loki's deeds are perhaps, on occasion, less treacherous than he has been where you are from. That is not a claim any could make from whence I came.
I am pleased neither of them are here however, though I do apologize for the pains of being removed from family. I am keenly aware of the discomfort being cut off from them, as well as the realm itself, provides.
Fortunately enough, it is easily lessened by ample drink, should you care to join us for the eve.
