"Much better when I already know him." Several versions of him, in fact. She knows which one he'll speak to about this, but there is a little amusement in the fact that he could have a number of Lokis all coming to the negotiation table to have their say about her and their marriage. Even that doesn't worry her when she's fond of every one she's met.
She frowns softly at his words. Expected as the last are, the first are painful to be reminded of. What they haven't isn't forever, or even for very long. They have a few decades at most, time enough to fall deeply in love only to lose it when death inevitably comes for her. There's no pushing back against it. There's no battle to fight that can be won. This will happen, and they'll both suffer for it. Him far more than her, but still... still it will hurt when she nears the end of her life and she knows she's going to dream alone for the rest of eternity.
Only... she's not certain of that anymore. With all ties to her world lost, she has no idea where her mind will go when she dies. Into nothingness? Into someone else's afterlife? To Thor's? She doesn't know, and now's not the time to ask when they have much more important things to focus on.
"It will be a sad day when we lose one another, but I will be glad for every other day I've had with you." She frees a hand to rest it along his cheek, closing her eyes to fall into the comfort of being close like this. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked something like this of you. It's unfair of me, knowing how much more you'll have to carry when I'm gone. You don't have to answer now. We have plenty else to talk on before any plans are made for our lives."
Her plans to love and marry him haven't changed because of this. They have time to decide if they even want children before they try for them. This doesn't need to be settled today when so many other, more important things have been brought up.
