"Yes, I can," Loki said. Casual tone. Casual expression. Not the pride Katherine was so used to from her father. He had changed in that way. In another way, he had not changed though. That was the only explanation he provided. When he wanted to, trying to get information from him was like pulling teeth.
"There are nine realms in father's world." Potentially a lot more but there was no need to go into too much detail. "Asgard is one of them, earth is another. Hel exists there too. My grandfather so kindly imprisoned my aunt there and it is named after her." While the god of mischief was often too tight-lipped, his daughter could be the opposite. Sometimes she only noticed after she talked that she might not want to spread her family's dirty laundry all around.
"Ah, yes, you need to understand, Katherine's grandfather was a one-trick pony when it came parental duties," Loki said. His smile was sweet. The sarcasm heavy. "He used prison cells and banishment after he turned his children against his will with encouragements and lies." Katherine was utterly surprised by her father's casual admittance. She had not expected him to be this open, especially around someone he did not know and might very well not even like.
