::That told Odin a bit about her upbringing and values, or both. Perhaps she was raised religious or conservative, or perhaps she had see "Cinderella" one too many times.:: "It's good to live together first."

Had he been a telepath, he would probably have gotten a very interesting insight into the relationship between she and Pietro, but fortunately for her, he wasn't. "I don't even think it's about living together or not, really. It's about how he treats me, or I treat him. I can handle picking up dirty socks from his side of the bed if everything else is fine."

::She was making Odin's point for him, and he listened attentively. The image made him smile inwardly, as he knew precisely how that could be, the domestic aspects of a relationship.:: "Where's the leap, then?"

::Odin simply accepted that, rather than further challenge the core of beliefs, as "settling down" implied they were currently in an open relationship, and he didn't have that impression from them. There would be other times for that, surely.:: "You can save the ring money and use it on something more interesting."

She laughed outright, having to delay a bite of pie for the purpose. "If you consider college and the police academy interesting, maybe."

"You don't think college is interesting?" ::Odin replied. He glanced down at his sandwich, and reminded himself not to try another bite, as he would be disappointed.::

"We'll see," she replied. "Right now, I'll just be happy to clear a job."

"There are plenty to be had," ::Odin told her. After all, he had managed to settle in Manhattan, miraculous as that was.:: "The land of opportunities."

"I suppose I'd have to talk to the Professor. I don't know many other mutants with job connections," she replied.
