[The feed turns on and shows Hermione sitting, cross-legged in the middle of the floor. Her eyes are closed and there are...strange markings...surrounding her. For anyone who might know what Ancient Runes look like (or might have taken the class at Hogwarts), the markings will be recognizable.]

[She opens her eyes and sighs. Picking up a piece of paper, she writes down her findings - or lack thereof.]

I would feel much safer if one of these protective charms worked... [But that would require Magic she doesn't have anymore.] I thought I could get around what I lack by writing the symbols upon a physical surface. There are tales of Muggles stumbling across powers they can't control.

[She purses her lips and wipes away the marks.]

Clearly, they are just stories. I thought as much.

To call oneself a god generally implies omniscience.

At least within the realms of making certain their subjects have as little means to defend themselves as possible.

I have yet to see evidence of their omniscience and I know I'm not the only one who doubts their titles.

[There, he has a point.]

I'm not accustomed to being idle.

It depends entirely on your religious views. And often-used argument is that such proof only makes itself known to the faithful.

And then that makes two of us, though Asgard doesn't seem to lend itself to more useful endeavors.
