Ah, so it was an insult. Amelia sighs, rolling her eyes at the now-passed moment. "That isn't even clever. How insulting, especially to someone of your intelligence." Jane studies the stars in depths and ways the rogue can't even begin to understand, and yet Odin chose that as his cutting remark? For someone so old and supposedly wise, the man certainly failed at some very simple things.
Sighing again, she shakes her head. "Someday, I'd like to hear it. That's a story I don't know." It's one she knew existed, and she'd much rather hear it from Jane than Thor. He may tell the details well, but it's her story. A story like that should always come from the one at its center.
The comment about Loki makes her laugh. "Oh they do. And his children. They come by the house all the... time..." She stops suddenly, face going a little pale. Dreams, she shouldn't have said that aloud to someone who's only just learned about the Nexus.
"I'm sorry, forget I said anything. Loki is a complicated topic and one best not spoken of... here." Her expression is nervous as she gestures around to encompass the whole of the town around them. Stepping a little closer, she lowers her voice further. "Some other time, when we're not... out, we could probably speak further. The Nexus complicates all of this when Loki was..." A beat of hesitation as she fails to take a steadying breath. "Was a complication all his own on this world."
Dreams, why did she open her mouth and say his name? Why didn't she stop to think?!
One hand finds its way to the strands of her hairpin to ground herself in the familiar motion of pulling her fingers through it. "It's best I not continue until we have more privacy. It's... a very long story, one that requires several pots of tea to explain." If she even should. Fuck, she made this very complicated for herself.
