Teja was warming her hands on the cup, looking at the curls of steam, then glancing nervously up at Megan.
She'd promised her answers, but she honestly didn't want to tell her everything. It was not Megan's business - Loki wouldn't want her to know anything - and she also feared that, due to meeting Thor, Megan knew things Teja didn't, and would use Teja's ignorance to argue more about Loki being bad news.

"Oh my god Megan you are not about to say-"
She covered her face partially with one splayed hand. "Nevermind. No, his birth father told him he turned the stomach to look at - he's the same height, and features are mostly the same. Hair too. He's just... blue, honestly. With markings..."
Shhe traced her fingers over her own face to demonstrate. "His eyes are red, and then he's... got markings everywhere. They're even on his-"
She didn't finish that sentence, abruptly cutting out.
Then she folded her hands primly and grinned.
"And yes, it's... I am to understand it's.... impressive."

"Birth father? That'd be... Farbauti, right? I've been wondering what was up with all this Thor-calls-him-brother shit-"

Teja looked very ashy and looked down at the table.
"....Megan, the Vikings heard the stories of real people, but then they just did what all the other ancient peoples apparently did, made shit up-"

"So he's... blue, but not that different? God, I always pictured him looking like in Sandman, that long creepy face and crazy red hair-"

"That was based off the Arthur Rackham illustrations from the ring of the Nibelungen, you know," she said really softly.

"Thor's kind of disappointingly unhilarious," Megan admitted.

"Loki sounded miserable talking of him," Teja confided quietly. "He couldn't compete, it sounds like. Big and golden-haired?"

"...you're talking about a man that apparently makes panties disappear by existing and you used something associated with your employer to describe him."
