My dear _,
All is well here in Asgard. I am still working to make amends with my family and regain the closeness with Thor that we had before. I am glad I took your advice and tried talking to them again. They seem to have missed me dearly. I think you are right about what you said before. Family doesn't have to be related by blood, as long as the bond of love exists. As soon as I can talk to them comfortably again, I will tell them about you. About us. If they react badly, I don't want you to be there when it happens. I wouldn't be able to stomach standing by while they sat disgusted that I've fallen in love with a mortal. It would end badly, I'm afraid, and I would be pushed away from the family again. I don't understand what they find so repulsive about mating with human beings. Ah, well.
How is everything going? Does the cat still hate you? Remember not to pet her the way you used to, she doesn't like it that way. Brush her gently and when you hear her purr, you know you've finally done it right. When I get back home, do you think you could get me some of that delicious mead? What is it... Star doe? It's amazing, just like you said it would be. I've come to realize doubting you when it comes to mortal things isn't a very good idea. Our minds are so closely connected that you know exactly what I like.
The underwear you made me are wonderful. I never knew a person needed penguins on their undergarments, but they do feel softer this way, just like you told me. Although, when I mentioned it to Stark, he seemed amused. And then he made a snarky comment about how you were definitely the right person for the God of Mischief. Is there something you're not telling me, darling? And the knitted socks are good too. They keep me warm every night I'm without you to do so instead.
I'm really starting to miss having your body huddled next to me and your head on my chest. And as a side note, I apologize for my constant state of cold. It comes with the genes, I'm afraid. As much as I'd like to be with my family, I also want to be with my mate. As I said, as soon as I feel like I've restored our bond, I'm coming home to be with you. I love you.
Yours forever and truly,
Loki Laufeyson
