Uriel smiled sadly. "You would be shocked to know just what my kind would do," she said quietly. "Yes, we are monsters -- demons and angels alike."

At Loki's next words, she couldn't help but laugh despite her better judgement. "Odin's? He'd really think me that desperate?" she laughed. "If I managed to go without a gender for six millennia, I doubt I could suddenly become so deprived of sex that I would sleep with my own brother... Or does he think I'm mad enough to get pregnant on purpose? And how on Earth could even you make those two doubt each other? They have been practically joined at the hip for centuries even though they may not have been lovers for long!"
