"Oh I already did that. It was the easiest way to rearrange things." With a wry grin. "I wonder sometimes at your talents just going to waste or never having been discovered. It's a sad thought."
"Your individual world would've been a bit safer, however." Reaching out to take her hand, thumb brushing her skin. "But I don't think you regret taking a step into a larger world."
"I will warn you, healing without aids--but focusing on raw energy, will take raw power too. The same for shielding--these things work best with a focus, as there's less drain on the caster." A squeeze of her hand. "But I've already emailed Ingrid. She plans to seek out any healers who used magic as well as the more 'mundane' so to speak. We're also having to adapt to not having the resources we used to, which will likely lead to new innovations."
"I believe you already helped them out a lot, and provided a good foundation. We've a partnership now where many are working with doctors across Norway as is feasible. There is still some pushback and a few barriers to the effect of 'are we for real?' so to speak. But you helped, and I'm sure Ingrid would welcome your help again."
New Asgard's status was...iffy. They couldn't be a proper self-sufficient nation, so to speak. But they were recognized to have their own sovereignty in some matters by the Norwegian Crown. Officially, they were part of Norway for the foreseeable future. It was actually causing some strife among the Scandinavian nations; part of Loki's 'work' had been keeping an eye on the more troubling factions starting to emerge.
That makes him laugh, and brings a smile. "'real' in the sense here in that we both are and are not like Gods. It's stirred up quite a few religious debates and theological quandaries."
"Which is exactly part of the problem." Especially since 'Gods' didn't need help, but the people of New Asgard clearly did. "It's been exciting lurking on certain parts of the internet, let me tell you." A bit dryly sarcastic there.
Loki chuckled. "I've not met any giantesses that I know of either, and have no children as of yet." Taking another drink of wine before he continued. "Honestly I seem to be sort of a catch-all for all kinds of weird misadventures. I will confirm that I know Idunn, who does indeed have absolutely delicious golden apples. But she moved to Vanaheim a few centuries back, so I don't know if she's taken her crop there or simply moved on to something else."
"Father. In that myth I'm the father. It's with the horse, I'm the mother, Sweetling." Loki corrected with amusement. "And I am glad you're feeling better. Even if it's not the night we had planned, it has been an interesting one."
