Nathaniel’s one stipulation met, he danced until Eva decided it was time to get down business. They vanished from his castle, from Helheim, and appeared... in Thor’s study. The Allfather stood, seemingly as surprised as Nate had been, but not as annoyed as Nate would be in his place. “Allfather,” Nate greeted the king with a small bow. He noticed the binding rope in Thor’s hands and realized how real this was.
Thor was a bit surprised when he sensed Eva’s and Nate’s approach until the binding rope appeared in his hand. They were suddenly in his study and he extended his arm for the couple to move closer to his desk. “I’m always ready,” Thor challenged with a smile on his face; “You’ll do no such thing,” Thor explained to her about her Hildy comment. “I’m the most qualified,” he told them. “I love both of you,” he smiled, then started to prepare the rope for the ceremony. “Shall we?” He asked.
“Waiting on Brayden,” Nathaniel explained, then turned to face Eva once more. “I’m sure he’ll-,” Nate started but stopped when Brayden rushed it.
“I object!” Brayden yelled as he entered through the door, in a huff. “King Thor, I object this union on the grounds that Eva is too great for my dad,” he explained. “Exhibit A,” Brayden said then point to Nathaniel’s face.
“Boy...” Nathaniel started but was quickly cut off by Thor.
“No, no. Let him finish,” Thor said with a serious expression, but quickly let his smile take over.
“I love you,” Brayden told Eva as he walked closer and snagged a mommy hug. “I’ll cover for you, run,” he whispered to his future step-mom.
Thor had a chuckle then held the rope out for the couple to extend their arms. “If there are no other objections,” he smiled but beamed as well. Eva looked beautiful and happy. He loved it when she was happy and he loved it when he could make that happen.
“You be quiet,” Nate looked to his son, who’d thankfully moved off to the side, then ruffled the boy’s hair. Next, he looked to Eva and smiled again, more fondly than ever. “I love you in ways and with an intensity I didn’t think possible. Let’s do this and never be without each other again,” Nate told her then held his arm out over the rope.
