Thor was so overjoyed to see his mother's words that he could almost feel the electricity rolling over his skin. His mother was here and it was something he never dared to dream of. Sure, he had thought it, idly, but he had never thought that it might happen.

But with the realization that she was here came the understanding that he had to tell her about everything. He knew that he could lie, he could hide his shame and failure, but to what end? Goodland had a way of making things come out, usually at inopportune times, and Thor didn’t want his mother to find out casually. He needed to be the one to prepare her, it was his duty as her eldest son.

But he was nervous. He knew how he felt about his inability to rule or protect his people--- he was not his father, and did not lead with the effortless grace his parents had. He felt like he stumbled, time and time again, and then to learn that he decided to leave them? That he never learned his lesson and decided to put himself before his people again? He trusted Valkyrie to protect them, to be the Ruler that New Asgard needed-- the one it truly deserved, but to know that he abandoned them again broke his heart.

He had been in the Kids area enough time to know where the guardian’s typically stayed. There was no hesitation, by the time he got to the door. He banged loudly, full of anxious energy and vast excitement. When his mother finally came to the door (mere moments felt like hours), a well of emotions hit him. Great Happiness. Deep sorrow. Guilt. Relief. He wrapped his mother in a tight hug, nearly lifting her off her feet.

“Mother.” He sighed, “It is so good to see you.”
