All along he's been talking to a goddess... Till now he'd only taken her for a girl not that much younger than he himself was.

Gods...

And brother to a wolf and a snake too... Is that why Odin hated her this much? Did he have something against wolves and snakes?

I should hope not lir; I would not like to meet a man - or a god - who hates wolves so much.

"But if that's the way you look, and there's nothing you can do about it, why should he cast you out? What possible threat could you pose, even as a goddess?"

It is the same anywhere lir. There will always be those willing to shun those who are different, Serri said pointedly. Even Gisella cannot help her own defects, yet too many cast her aside.

Are you trying to tell me something?

More like hoping you'll take valuable lessons away from all this when we return to our world.
