Loki touched her father on the cheek in a tender gesture, she was truly fond of all her family and she believed that he would do his utmost to care for the Midgardian strays, as he had so aptly named them. She murmured their tale to him in a few words, but it was enough for him to rise again with a stern expression to his face. Not for them, but for these Asgardians in the neighbouring realm.

"Your loss is beyond comprehension. But I cannot send you to the Midgard of our realm, there would be others that match your face and form there, the confusion and disruption would be too great. I do not want to insult you by offering you vassalage and place here, on Vanaheim, or Asgard, you need a place of your own to flourish and grow once more."

That would mean looking for an available place outside Yggdrasil, but hopefully not too far away so that they could maybe be allies one day.

"We will not abandon you to such a hostile realm, we will seek out a new planet for you to call home. There are many abandoned or uninhabited ones in the universe."
