The comment about his glory on the battlefield didn't go unnoticed. While her sons were both young, it had been becoming increasingly obvious that Loki was the scholar of the two, Thor the warrior, their strengths working at counterpoint -- something that actually had become a comfort to Frigga, because of the hope that they would complement each other. But she did worry that Loki would be measured against Thor, and she wondered if he, himself, found himself wanting.
"I am certain of your glory in countless other pursuits," Frigga answered easily. "The world is not built and run only on the back of the warrior."
