Well, technically, it's with my father.

it was both of them.

Also, my dad has this new girlfriend.
Frigga. She's a dreadful woman.

Not really a fan of hers either.
So, yeah, it's just those three.

But if you were to teach me
your practice...

And why would we agree to do that?

Because you are sworn to protect
this realm from the Underworld,

And if I ever wish to be free
to choose my own, then I must face him.

so you threw away your sword,

Perhaps you have forgotten.

389
00:21:35,583 --> 00:21:37,791
