[And Loki perks up at the news.] Really! I had honestly thought it was exaggeration. You know the sort: someone who is remarkably strong becomes a titan strong enough to break the world in the retelling.

[And a thought occurred to him.] I hope a...ah, bad landing wasn't what happened...

I would demonstrate it for you if I only could...

[But there's no way he's even so much as getting out of this bed any time soon.]

...it wasn't just a bad landing alone, although that partially accounted for it. I may have somewhat underestimated my enemy.

[Massive understatement, clearly.]

[Still better than what he imagined, if but briefly.] I've done that before. Once, when training, I charged at a giant like an idiot and my brother had to rescue me. I wasn't even supposed to be there. Hardly the no doubt dire beast which felled you, of course, but still a momentary lapse of reason. [And he still cringes thinking about it. So horrible on so many levels.]

That's still a worthy, formidable opponent... and hearing that makes me feel somewhat less foolish for ending up in this state.

[He glances to his legs, both of which are broken in a few places. He has countless injuries elsewhere, but those are what troubles him most.]

...I only hope I can recover my jumping...

Of course you will. [And he's a bit surprised with how quickly he said that.] Surely F- your father wouldn't leave you like this.

[Yes, that has Kain's full attention. He turns his head sharply to look at him, wincing at the too fast motion. Ow. But if he knows him, surely he'd know more of his father, who was a far better man than he'll ever be.]

You know of my father? How?

[And he looks away, realizing his mistake too late.] Everyone knows of Odin. [...wow, that wasn't his smoothest line.]

I should have figured. He's powerful among the Eidolons, and was one of Baron's greatest kings. I owe him much.

You're not Baronian... what nation do you come from? [Kain has been trying to place that, but he can't entirely figure it out. Not that it's surprising a foreigner knows of one of Baron's strongest rulers. Or perhaps he knows him better for the Eidolon role.]

Asgard, though you may not have heard of it. It is far away, a city of heroes, and its people have the regrettable tendency to not be terribly interested in the doings of other lands. My brother and I are the only real exceptions I can think of.

Unsurprising, that Odin would venture to such a distant, foreign land. [Eidolons are very mysterious like that, after all, with capabilities beyond normal humans... However, that's not the only thing which interests Kain about this.] Did you- were you about to refer to him as your father?

I...yes. [And he was hoping that went unnoticed, and yet oddly relieved at the same time.] Adopted. Loki Odinson, blood of Laufey.

[It makes sense now, and it's strange to think of having relations of a sort in such far off worlds.]

Then we've that in common as well. When my blood father died, Odin raised me as his own.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine fell in battle. I don't remember him well, and what little I do remember makes me rather glad that I don't remember him well.

That's unfortunate... I have great respect for mine. My birth father is the reason I chose the path of a dragoon, to honor his memory.

...I only hope that I can one day prove myself worthy for both of them.

Oh, I'm sure you will. Father- well, the father we have in common does have a fondness for warriors. [A bit wistful at the last.] I'm surprised he left you alone for this long.

I assumed that was because I disappointed him. Cecil was always the favorite... [Kain makes a face, not caring to delve too far into the jealousy issue.] Although he has aided us in battle when summoned.
