[The feed shows Castle laying on his bed, looking half-asleep or maybe just bored. He could probably be doing something productive, something that could benefit the war effort in some way, but would rather ask the population at large a question.]

Hey, Asgard - What's your favorite book?

[He's not doing research of any kind, just purely curious. But if anyone asks, this is somehow related to the Welcoming Committee. Don't worry, he'll make it work.]

[5thchild]

I understand why.

I hope you will be able to see her soon.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Yeah.

Do you think that's what will happen after all of this is over? We'll be able to go home?

[As far as he knows, the gods haven't promised anything, but he isn't always the most up on Asgard news.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

The gods have made no promises. In fact, all they promised was that our worlds would be safe if we won this war.

But I wish to believe they will send us back when the time is right.

[That's what he figured. He also figures that the gods have the power to send them home and are just refusing to do it for the time being.]

At least Alexis would be safe then.

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ he smiles ] She would. It's already a comfort in itself.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Yes. Which of your loved ones are back home?

[He hopes he's not presuming too much that a person would have loved ones.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

I have someone I love here. There is no one else. [kaworu doesn't mind the assumption. he is still smiling ]

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

At least they're with you then? If they are the only person you have?

[If Castle only had one person, he would probably prefer that they be together, regardless of where it was.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

I would rather if they weren't here. In this place, he is in danger.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Moreso than at home?

[Video]

[5thchild]

Yes. There is a war here and uncertainty that he will survive.

And back in our universe, he will.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

You know that for certain?

[He's not trying to press the issue, but is anything such a certainty? Undoubtedly Alexis is safer at home, but that doesn't mean harm couldn't come to her in New York as well.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

Yes. He is meant to. [ kaworu is... kinda the one who will die, yeah ]

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Oh.

[His brow furrows.]

I'm sorry. [He understands now. If he knew returned home meant that Kate would die, then he would want to stay here too.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ he smiles and shakes his head softly ] it's quite alright. It's something I am okay with.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

At least you have this place, even if it's not... ideal.
