It had been a mere coincidence that she had caught Tony's post. Right now, with Derry and Bill's nemesis so close, she spent most of her time in a different universe. But she had seen the post and recognised the name and then the voice. She had smiled. It would bring back a flicker of light into her friend's eyes. The smile quickly faded when she realised that this Tony did not seem to remember a thing his past away from his universe. Having heard some of the tales, she had a good idea of where to place him timewise. It wasn't too long after her own father had been murdered.

She had sent off a few quick messages, did a quick sweep of the living-room to hide any pictures - those questions could be asked later - and teleported to the university. The engineer had not been difficult to find. "Hi Tony, you look like hell." He did. Skinny, like he hadn't eaten in weeks. Life was escaping him five years before he was set to die.

"It does take some adjustment. For me, it is simply a stopping off point before Valhalla. But it is good to see my sons. And the families they have built." It was hard to forget the feel of Kurse's blade in her back. She knew her fate. And there was no changing it. "So I'm glad not to have to wait until they get there to tell me all about it. It has its good points and its bad." She glanced over at Katherine. She was definitely one of the good.

Sitting forward in her seat she nodded. "How are you doing with that? Do you think you could handle something more substantial?" Frigga nodded toward Tony's bowl. Surely by now he would be able to tell if his stomach was going to like or dislike it all.

	Katherine waited for a response from Tony. Getting some food into the man was clearly a priority. Her grandmother would be far better and the mothering role anyway. Instead she poured herself another glass of water and filled two others for Frigga and Tony. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tony shook his head. "Not right now" he replied, stifling a yawn behind his hand. "I think I need to get some sleep. Right? That's sensible enough" he carried on. He knew he shouldn't push it when it came to eating. He didn't want to make himself sick and the mulled wine certainly helped relax him a little more.

"So, where can I crash then?" he asked, looking from Frigga to Kat.

"I know you might not wish to be doted on, or under the same roof as my youngest son, but I would prefer it if you stayed with us until you've regained your strength. We have more than enough rooms to accommodate you. And when you're stronger I'll help you move any items that have appeared for you to the dwelling of your choice." Loki would just have to cope. He and Thor hardly needed her to mother them much, and Tony was in need.

With a wave of her hand dishes and tray was teleported out of sight. She knew so much of this dwelling that she hadn't really had to bring the tray in here by hand. It just seemed like the wisest thing to do, to keep alarm down.

Frigga did glance over at Katherine, to be sure she wasn't over stepping any boundaries. She had been Queen of Asgard, she wasn't queen here.

	The young woman noticed her grandmother's glance and smiled in response. "You are welcome to stay. Dad's not really here at the moment anyway - he's clown-stalking... so..." She shrugged. Tony wouldn't have to worry about that and he could enjoy all the upsides of being mothered with soft cushions and hot soup. Recovery paradise, if you asked Kat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Loki was 'clown stalking'... Well that was a mental image that made Tony's eyebrows flick up. "Yeah I could have done without thinking about that before I crashed" he replied. Well, it could have been worse.

"Just point me in the direction of somewhere quiet, preferably with a decent sized bed and one of those walk in showers" he said, gesturing with his hand. "Maybe once I sleep, all of this will really start to make sense" he added, dragging himself up to his feet. The wine and broth certainly had helped somewhat. He wasn't feeling anywhere near as weak as he had felt before but he was still exhausted and he still needed to sleep.

Frigga stood from her seat and stepped up beside him. "Oh, I'm afraid only time makes any of this make sense. But we do have quite a few rooms like you described, most of them are like that. Though they do have some luxurious, baths as well." But Tony was a grown man, he wouldn't need help drawing his own bath, would he?

She very gently placed her hand on his elbow. "And I don't point." She led. Like a hostess should. "We took over what was formerly a high end hotel from what I've gathered. I hope you don't mind staying on this level with Katherine and I." She gently guided him through the doors of the library, waving them open as they got close.

"A bath?" he asked with an expression and tone that said he'd be happy with that option. A nice chance to soak and relax his muscles. He smirked when she helped him along, looking back at Kat briefly and offering a brief smile, turning away again.

"I don't mind" he replied. "Why would I mind?" he asked afterwards. He wasn't really asking though, it was a rhetorical question. Honestly, he was just looking forward to getting a moment to himself. A moment to think things over and figure everything out for himself. What he was going to do next. How he was going to adjust.

The second he said it a little grin played over her lips. "I hope you aren't allergic to lavender. I find it helps the muscles ease into sleep." With a flick of her finger she had started filling the tub with hot water, so it would be ready as soon as they reached the door.

Frigga made a noncommittal sound in her throat. "I just wanted to make it seem like you had a choice. But it'll make it easier for me if you have any needs in the middle of the night, that you can't take care of on your own." They reached a door and she waved it open, for him. Before she took a step back and looked him up and down. He really was very thin. With a wave of her hand a pile of neatly folded bed clothes appeared in her hands. "These should tide you over for tonight, so you don't have to put on dirty ones. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to call out to me. I'll hear you, and I'll come." Her words were clearly sincere.

Katherine chuckled at her grandmother's cheekiness. With two boys as stubborn as her father and uncle, you needed to apply any skill in your repertoire. The young woman decided to stay behind. There was something that Tony should know, however, if he planned to stay the night.

"Oh, Tony, I have a bunch of animals living in the house. Just tell them 'stop' if they do something you don't want." She considered warning him exactly what kind of animals were living around them but decided that he would figure it out anyway. Spoilers would take away all the fun, wouldn't they?
