Re: Tergiversate
What capacity. "Queen of Asgard," Thor dug his heels into that point. Then second-guessed himself, then third agreed with himself again. "That is your place," he reaffirmed, but stopped short of saying he'd have no more talk of it. Those type of hard fast whims felt a bit gross after yesterday.
"Don't say failure," he added with a long sigh. "Look into Astrid's face and tell me we are anything but champions," he challenged with a small smile. "And please don't act as though Nathaniel was the only thing..." his smirk vanished a bit and his fists clenched at his sides. "I..." Thor started, though he looked from Eva when he felt his eyes swell with tears. "If I believe that simply rejecting your request to make Nathaniel your hand would have saved our entire marriage, I'll never get another peaceful sleep in my life," Thor admitted, his eyes still pointed toward the floor. Thor slipped out of bed and stood, suddenly needing to exercise.
"We are two of the most powerful beings in the universe," he started anew. "We simply need to figure out how to put you together with the man you love the most," as much as it crushed Thor's pride. He silently wondered what Banner was doing... he could use a good violent interaction.
