I heard a little about that. [this Animorphs bullshit!! Maya can only imagine how awful it must be to have a parasite inside you, destroying you from the inside, little by little...] I want to see them.... maybe there's something we can do to jog their memories.
[She goes quiet for a little, taking in his tl;dr...]
Do you think it's true? Is it... even possible to kill a god? [She doesn't really think the Loki(s) are actual gods, so she's having a hard time with this one]
The Qorral left the planet when we did: its core was unstable. I'm not saying it's completely impossible, but even if we could find them again, the damage to their brains was physical, right? I'm no doctor, but I know that a little amnesia and an injury like that are totally different. It'd... it'd be difficult.
[Jin nods solemnly.]
Yeah. Loki-- the younger one-- told me. He could've lied, but there was no good reason to do it even for him. And I've seen a god nearly die before. [Sometimes he wonders if Raiden's doing ok back home...] It's not impossible.
Well-- we're all about timelines and stuff, right? Let's make it a mission to give them their lives back!
[That's not how it works, Maya, but her heart's in the right place]
Oh, you mean the my fake daduncle? The one who makes out with snakes? [they both do, apparently, but hey] I didn't realize he'd been around for so long.... was he serious about the whole being a god thing? I thought he was just exaggerating.
Frankly, I'm not sure I can believe anything that Loki says. He is Loki, and that's not just a nickname, either-- he's actual Norse god Loki.
[a beat.]
Which.
Means he might actually be into snake chicks.
[why.]
Y'know what, I'm moving on from snake women. Loki wouldn't have had a reason to lie to me about this, and it checks out with what other people have told me about that mission.
Not just snakes. They're into really weird stuff! [okay but more seriously:] But... how is that possible? Could a god really just fall into a time hole and end up here with us?
[that's how it happened, right]
.... This all sounds so crazy. It's hard to believe it's all really true, even for me.
listen it's about time she got a non-Koltira exposition thread

this time with 50% less trauma
[Jin nods solemnly.]

and 200% gagtags

I'm gonna need you to back up a little bit on the second half of what you just said.

I think anybody having a thing for snake ladies qualifies as just a little bit weird.

Exactly. Are you sure you can believe everything this guy says?
