Children always did seem to enjoy mischief. And why wouldn't her children find her counterpart to be absolutely delightful? Her expression sobered as the other continued on, his admission familiar enough in some ways.
"My involvement in my children's lives... never went well. At least when I knew of them, or was in a state to care about anything." Admitted slowly, fingers lightly drumming at the edge of her plate, a physical sign of the unease that came from the admission. "Being Loki's child has always... ended poorly, it seems."
