It had been a normal day for everyone. People were going about their own business, some on the station, some on Midgard, some in Asgard... you get my drift. But they would not be separated for long. Reunions that were never meant started to happen.

	The man eyed Frigga before giving a sad smile and a nod. "Oh, we met. She took my eye." There was a motion of his hand toward his face. "I wore a patch like father for a while. Loki wouldn't let me hear the end of it. This eye is...ah...a space rabbit gave it to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Your father did little that I did not know about." She explained, reaching up and brushing her thumb just below the brown eye, against his cheek. "Of course he wouldn't. He wouldn't want you to be like him. I wouldn't want you to be like your father." Her hand dropped to his shoulder and she patted him lightly. "Is there anything else you were avoiding telling me?"

"No, I suppose he wouldn't..." There came a tense tinge in his tone as he seemed to momentarily feel the fresh wound of each of Loki's scathing remarks. Then again, Loki wouldn't want Thor to be anything like Odin--Loki had come to resent and hate their father more than anyone. Perhaps, as harsh as the comments had been, it was only a deflection. Thor didn't have much time to consider it, however, as Frigga pressed on.

He started to walk again, slowly. Standing still suddenly made him itch.

"There are years to tell you," he said quietly. "I don't know where to begin with it all. The Island and this station were one thing...but my life? So much has happened. And Loki...he wanted me to speak to you before you saw him." Thor took another breath and gave a one shouldered shrug.

"I don't know where to begin. Do you want good news or bad news first?"

Frigga followed along in silence, her fingers gently placed back against Thor's arm. She was sure she had the bones, but then came the years. Years from her sons lives. Enough that Loki was here and had not been the first to reach her. Was in fact avoiding her. What could be so bad?

"You had better give me the bad news first. That way I have good news to pull me out if it." That way she had something to help her keep her composure. After all, she was still the queen of gods. There was only so much vulnerability that she could show. Even with her sons. There physical strength was a match for her emotional strength.

And there it was. The prompt. Without much deftness or tact Thor unraveled the story since he last saw his mother. He did not stop walking as he did so. Details were only left out for the sake of brevity, but no detail of import was skipped. He laid it all out there, from his battles with the Avenfers to his plight against Hela, including Loki’s trickery against both brother and father. He told her about Thanos, the fate of Asgard, and his travels through the stars where they forged Stormbreaker—Thor did make sure to impress upon her how awesome he was holding open the iris of the forge along the way. Once done he gave a heavy sigh. A weight had lifted. He had not, in full, ever talked about what happened.

“So...that’s most of the bad news. There is one thing left.”

Frigga had listened intently. Focused on nothing really in front of them, her head down, relying in him alone to guide them where they were going. After all he knew this place and she did not. All her emotions hidden from view. Though her heart ached. They were all things the boys had to deal with alone. Her hand did tighten on his arm in parts of his telling. Who wouldn't? Especially the part with Thanos.

She gasped softly. "What's the one thing?"

	It was difficult to talk about, mostly the struggling relationship with Loki. Yet somehow after everything was said and done they came back to one another. Maybe, though they were not technically blood, blood was truly thicker than water. "Sif was on the Island," Thor said after rubbing the back of his neck. "She disappeared shortly after we were wed."

There was no hiding the pained look. She stopped them both and wrapped her arms around him. He had to deal so much in such a short amount of time. And he did so bravely. Brave enough that his voice didn't seem to shatter in the slightest.

"I am sorry, that is a loss." She had often wondered if she would ever count Sif as an in-law. But Frigga could not do him harm in stating such a thing.

Thor took his mother in and hugged her in return. "It's alright," he said with a nod. "The good news is much better. These things are in the past." He smiled lightly.

"Our family is growing considerably. First Katherine, and then she found her betrothed, Rhysand. He's from another plane entirely--we've never been there in all the realms. Loki's...friend is present with us, as well--Katherine's mother. She has come to us from the past. Her name is Shannon. Katherine and Rhysand have a daughter, Lucy, who is from an...alternative timeline to our own. I have also met someone; Brynhild. She is a strong shieldmaiden from Midgard's past. And, not least, I am currently overseeing a lost young one; Suzume. She's recently arrived on the station and has similar lightning ability, so I felt it the right thing to do to take care of her and teach her not to be afraid of the storm."

He smiled warmly, heart full. For all of the darkness that lurked in his past and for whatever loomed ahead he was not sad nor afraid. Thor was full of joy because he had a huge family, much larger than the four great leaders of Asgard--though, of course, the Asgardian's were family it was not quite the same.

That smile. It was enough to warm even the most frozen of hearts, Frigga was sure of it. It brought one of her own to light up her face. He was happy, that much was clear. The good news was good enough to wipe out the bad. Except the bit about Loki. That might stick with her for a while, but she didn't let it show.

"I don't know what I like best about that news. It all is soo... Will I get to meet your someone? And I must meet your charge. And a granddaughter and great grand daughter all in one day. Your good news is almost dangerous." She would tease. She really was pleased.

"You'll get to meet everyone. We're on the way home, now. They're all there, except for Bryn. When you arrived, so too did several of her own family. She's taking care of that. You'll meet her soon." He smiled and nodded before starting to lead the way once more.

"Suzume is bashful, I think because she is young and new to the Station, but she is very intelligent. You will love her. I do."

She was sure that the smile on her face would not fade, at least for a long time het. He loved a child. One not of his own loins, like she had. She squeezed the arm she held. "Today is a good day." It didn't matter what it took to make it to that day. It was the one before her that mattered the most.

Frigga beamed up at him. "I am glad I've come here." A pit stop to Valhalla.
