"I mean, me and Alex can't have kids and even if we could and wanted to, it's not like we're really the posterchildren for caring about whether kids are born in or out of wedlock," Magnus says, holding up one finger. He holds up another with each point he makes, most of which are derived from things he used to hear his mom talk about, usually when she'd start getting serious with a boyfriend. "There's no legal benefit. We're dead, so we don't need to worry about health insurance or inheritance or anything like that. We don't technically live in Midgard, so there aren't any taxes or anything, and also we don't have an income, so... basically there are no financial reasons. Also I think legally speaking we're too young. You have to be at least eighteen to get a license and technically we're both sixteen forever. And it's not like either of us is particularly religious, so. ...I guess we could have been forced to, per Viking tradition, if Frey and Loki decided it was important to resolve some blood feud, but Frey probably thinks I don't count as a viable offspring for that kind of thing, and even if he did count me, Loki would be a dick about it. Insist on Sam instead, specifically because she has Amir, something like that." He pauses. "And here it's even less important, since there's basically no laws besides 'don't be a dick' and nobody uses money at all."
