Alvin looked at Loki's expression and asked curiously, "Is this what you're really like?"
Then Alvin waved dismissively. He recalled the performances of several award-winning actors and made the muscles in his face twitch unnaturally. In a slightly sorrowful tone, he said, "Frigga has a tumor in her brain. I never thought the 'gods' of Asgard wouldn't be able to deal with a tumor..."
