"Mine sister once before put family before Asgard, and it cost others their lives. Whilst the troops of Asgard art well trained, they need orders, and need officers to look up to. If she leaves her post... aye, she might save one, or find one... but how many other mothers might lose their children if the walls art breached? Or how many might be widows and orphans?"
He sighs, and offers her a drink. "The crown ist ver' heavy. She loves none so dearly as thee, and thy son... but she hast seen the costs of putting duty aside. Tis why I canst ne'er do her job... because to be King, or Queen, ist to tear one's heart out at times... tis why she hast others at her charge to look after what she cannot."
