"It could only help," she offers earnestly. "Jane tried to be kind, once she understood I wasn't used to the language, but it was still overwhelming. Any help in understanding even a fraction of it all would help." There's only so many ways someone used to a particular dialect can explain things before they run out of ways to do so. A third party somewhere between the two would be of great assistance in moments like that.
Thor pulls her hands close and holds her with such reverence it makes Amelia's heart beat a little faster in her chest. Even after all this time, he can pull her into a flutter and make her heart sing with ease. It should make it easier to talk to him about more important matters, but it doesn't. She has to find the strength for that on her own.
"Then I'm grateful for her presence in your life. Without her, I don't know if I'd have even met you, or at least the you that I know and love now." She smiles warmly as she rests her free hand on his cheek, fingers gently brushing across it. How different her life would be if they'd not met, if things had been different and she hadn't become his friend. She doesn't want to imagine a life where they never fell in love, because that, above all else in her life now, is the thought that makes her ache most.
Which is why... she has to say something to him.
She takes a breath to settle herself, then gives his hand a gentle squeeze. "She told me some of the things that led to the end of your relationship, just before you arrived. About how you asked her about children, and I... admitted I've avoided the conversation with you because I'm afraid of what comes after it." Her smile turns a touch apologetic. "We don't have to speak of it now, but I don't want it to be something painful or disruptive between us. Promise me you'll think on it? When you're ready, we can talk about it, or any other part of our future."
Our future, because they have so much time left ahead of them, and there's nowhere else in the multiverse Amelia wants to be than at his side here in Asvera.
