Odin squints through his one blue eye. "He's telling the truth. I'm sure that Zeus and Hera wanted him to stay on Olympus, just like his grandparents did, and their parents before them, et cetera, et cetera."
A serene Galactic woman, green with cat-like features, extends her graceful hands. "Welcome, Van Thomas and Daji Foxspirit."
