Re: But he was my trouble.
"Oh ho... the adviser," Thor responded with a guttural tone as if she'd just mentioned his favorite flavor of ice cream. "That's a twist." He smiled again and his arms fell upon Eva and ensured she was stuck to him until she devised a clever means of escape. "He's so broody," he added with a slightly perplexed grimace, though it was mostly in jest. "I suppose I'm happy he's so... not me," the King decided, glad the name Eva had mentioned was not that of someone similar - not that many of those existed. "Well, honestly," Thor started then paused unsure of his next words, "this being my first marriage..." his chin gently tapped the top of Eva's head so that she'd look toward him and their eyes could lock. "I'd be lying if I said I knew this terrain well, but I meant every word of our vows," he assured Eva with a smile. "Our union is forged in the stars and our roots grow deeper everyday. I..." Give permission? No, that sounded wrong. "I love you and want you to be as happy as possible my queen." He'd sworn that on their wedding day and meant it just as much now.
