Asgard. I thought this place only existed in religion. And if religion is an idea, wouldn't that make Asgard an idea too?

[ Sure, it's an overly simplistic explanation of a complex topic but since it's a topic he knows so little about, it's best to keep it simple ]

Unless there's something I missed. [ A brief pause, as though he's genuinely perplexed by the whole idea.

Spoiler: He is ] Your gods. I've heard a lot about them. Do they exist any more than the other divine beings? Or are they just something that we need to put our faith in? Like the Easter Bunny.

...I'm just wondering.

[ He's passing it off as no big deal. Just questions. No reason behind asking them. It's not like it's because of this supposed divine being that he found himself in the shit heap he was in just before showing up here. The very one that has him a little on edge currently.

As for the actual being in Asgard? Well ]

I don't suppose my money is any good here...

[ He's distraught on the inside. I swear ]

He's right. There are some upsides to being here -- [ like not having to hide her relationship with her boyfriend from her parents ] -- but overall? It's pretty dumb.

What are the upsides to being kidnapped to fight in a war?

I have friends from home here and I'm making friends from other places that I never would've met if I hadn't come here. [ That's an upside! For... most people. Who aren't Dexter. ]

[ And she's grinning because how can she not when he looks that happy? ] Yeah, you are.
