Prometheus suspects that this is something that Thor has shared with very few people, if at all. That sort of trapped, helpless despair is not a feeling any god would willingly admit. The Titan only had a taste of it, but he knew some day that he would be set free from his chains. In that time Thor spent in the wreckage, he did not even have that hope to hold onto.

He listens in supportive silence, a little surprised when Thor squeezes his shoulder. "It was Loki who herded them out of the portal," he says. "He must have been anticipating it... I just happened to be around shortly after it happened." Not the same Loki as his brother, but one who had made the same sacrifice.

"You know," he adds with a sigh, stretching out his legs. "Even after all this time, I still get queasy in the presence of an eagle. Some things will stay with you for a long time, Thor. But it's nothing to be ashamed of."
