[alwaysmother]

As more than enough time has passed I feel obliged to seek out a means to supply myself in the name of the World Turtle’s cause.

[She just had to make sure to get this computer thing down pat first, and look at her, doing a fine job using the camera…well it’s not as shaky as it was when she first arrived and she’s quite proud of that. More to their credit than hers are the fine tutors she has had in the use of the technology.]

I have been told that one of the essentials of this world is work and seeking it out. Now that I have acquired knowledge about the status of my family and my situation this seems to be the next logical step.

[Even though it is probably out of her typical comfort zone, being the Queen of Asgard she has spent time with her people, the only position she really ever had was that of a wife, mother, and ruler. Now she had to present herself in a way that would make her seem qualified to work…

…and she wasn’t all that sure she had anything valuable to offer, but shrinking away is also not an option. So sitting upright and looking confident she continues.]

First I shall dispense with my titles, one of them at least; I cannot see how being queen of another realm would be functional realistically other than illustrating my organization, mediation, and leadership qualities.

[She could easily say these qualities could be applied to a mother, any mother.]

I also possess strength that is supplied to people of Asgard, fundamental knowledge of and concerning magic, and the capacity to fight if necessary.

These are the qualifications of Frigga--if you can harness these qualities and find a means of putting them to use then I am at your disposal. [If you need references talk to her children and ask them about her work.]

[Willow is just merrily oblivious to Loki stalking this, though it wouldn't surprise her. She's not entirely that naive.

She's also getting over her intimidation pretty quickly with how kind Frigga is, and smiles back at her.] What offer did you get? I can't really see you doing something menial, no offense. [She means it as a compliment, really.]

Oh-- well, I don't know Thor that well, but Loki was helping me with my magic for a while and that actually turned out pretty great. I've been a little lacking on the illusions.

[That's safe to talk about, right? That sounds safe. She'd tell Giles she was doing that and not expect censure, so there's no reason she can't tell Loki's mom. Giles is practically team mom. Dad. Whatever.]

[alwaysmother]

[Frigga is completely oblivious which is why she is quite happy to carry on the conversation...she doesn't realize that stalking can be achieved through this little living box.]

There is a medical clinic in need of assistance and I think I could be useful in that capacity. [And helping to care for others just aligns with what she is good at. So here is hoping her presence will be serviceable.] Though I am of Asgard so even something like physical labor is not out of my sphere of abilities.

Loki...if it is magic then I believe you are in fine hands indeed. I cannot speak for the Loki present, but I shared my knowledge of magic with my son, I taught him magic and he...he just took off with it. Fantastic...And I am sure the one here on the Turtle is equally gifted.

[She can see nothing wrong with the topic, it is actually one she could spend a great amount of time on...though she's a proud parent. Either of her children could be the start of a healthy conversation.]

[guiltapalooza]

A medical clinic? That's a great idea. [Willow smiles, approving of this job.] I bet you'd do really good there. Lots of opportunity for moming.

[Oops, should she not put it that way? She knows Loki has an issue with his mom, though she's honestly not sure why. At the moment she thinks it can't apply to this one because she's very much a mom, if a regal one.

Then she's startled into a surprised,] That was you? He's really good at control! If you taught him, then... [Visibly interested,] I'd love some tips sometime. If you don't mind giving them.

[alwaysmother]

I can say with some certainty that it has been a while since last I have mothered anyone, but if I can be of use to others then I think this is the most practical way to be of assistance.

[The only thing Frigga knows about Loki is that his home-life and his relationships with his family are not what he would want them to be. Still, she would like to keep the lines of communication open, and if nothing else to become someone he could trust in the future.]

Well, I am not certain if his use of magic began with my alternative self in his world, but I certainly taught my son a thing or two about magic...and I can say with no small amount of pride that he is better at it than I. I could teach you some things if you would like, though it depends on what you would wish to learn.

[guiltapalooza]

Oh, well, I've been a little busy lately, but-- I'll hopefully have time again pretty soon, and maybe you could teach me how to heal? Do you know how to do that? I've never been very good at it and I feel like it... it's one of those things I should know.

[alwaysmother]

I have only a cursory knowledge concerning healing arts. Just enough to take care of any wounds my children might procure after the typical accidents, it is enough to patch the wounded in a clinic. Anything that requires surgical healing--severe injuries or illnesses is beyond me.

[guiltapalooza]

I've done severe injuries before, [she admits.] Well, injury. Singular. But it takes a lot of power, and that's... that's not such a good idea sometimes.

I think I could do it if I had better control. More finesse than bludgeon, you know?
