Now, that isn't something he expected to hear, and he tilts his head, a flicker of interest in his eyes. He fully intends to do his best to make friends of the others, as well, but it's interesting to hear he might have something in common with Ravage, beyond similar haunting fears and mutual soft spots for children. "I...will mention it to him. That is a close parallel."

He shakes his head. "Not really. Had I made it a priority, I could have spoken to them, perhaps, but I suffered a sort of psychotic break. I killed my biological father--and I don't regret that. By all accounts, he left me to die as an infant. But I also attacked Jotunheim and that, in retrospect, was unconscionable. Bridges have been thoroughly burned, I fear."

"I have my own alternates to consult, but as they're from different worlds it's hard to say how much parallels my own. My twin is the best-versed in what Frost Giants are actually like, and he doesn't have much that's pleasant to say about them. But any people can suffer under poor conditions or poor leadership."

He smiles at the question. "What I should say, I suppose, is that I hope we will speak again. Your openness has been refreshing. Is there nothing you would ask of me?"
