Don hadn't listened to radio. Don probably should have listened to radio. But, well. It wasn't like he or Thor were expecting any visitors, so he'd had an afternoon of surgery after Thor's class yesterday, and then this morning they'd realized they'd need to hold office hours over the weekend and had to figure out how to make that work.

And now here he was, in his office, trying to catch up on some paperwork while he waited to see if anyone's parents would show up.

(Open office hours are open!

"Huh." She tapped her fingers on the arm of the chair. A sword in her hand would honestly feel more relaxing than this. "Well, you got one thing wrong. The two of you are both Asgardian. So it's not just the one."

Congrats, you were getting weirdly adopted, Don.

"I'm human," Don reminded her. "I'm mortal. I came to exist in Long Island." Long Island, for Freyja's sake.

(And Thor had been born in Norway and was murmuring, Are you not a child of Mjolnir? in his ear right this second.)

"So?" Valkyrie asked. Because she was pretty much in agreement with Thor there. "Half my people aren't even from this planet, much less Æsir. But Asgard is a people. And those people are survivors."

Don thought about saying that he didn't think Valkyrie got to decide that for his universe, but then realized that, of course, Thor did. And he did not want to open the door to getting in an argument with, effectively, himself right now. "I will take that under consideration," he said instead, like some kind of boring middle-grade bureaucrat.

"Now you sound like the Allfather," she said, making a face. That was right, you sounded like Odin. (Derogatory)

"Ew," Don said again, with more force this time. "That's offensive. Take that back."

Aaaaand Thor was laughing at him.

Look, he earned that. He earned that.

"Don't act like a know-it-all dick. Easy peasy."

Yep. The last Valkyrie and present King of Asgard was saying 'easy peasy'. Man, had things changed.

Thor could never. "You're something else, I hope you know that."

Val smirked and nodded as she pushed herself up. "Offer to visit's open. Free fro-yo."

Only the finest treasures!

"But I'll be by to chat with Thor tomorrow."
