[He listens, and he knows. While he's quite young -- certainly too young to have ever got a lady into this sort of state during the time he was one of the living, he is no fool.

[Not exactly a fair trade. Putting someone up for a few nights does not equal a one-way trip back to Valhalla in return, but hey. Giving his life to Raine and putting his soul back into Odin's grasp is rather beneficial for him. It'll mean he stands a chance of escaping Gaia. He is powerless to escape this world and return where he belongs. It doesn't mean that Odin isn't.

The injustice of a child being born unto the world without mother or father doesn't sit well with him either. Raine is a decent woman. She would use his pseudo-life better than he would. He stands decided, and extends a gloved hand to the girl.]
She must be on the brink of death for me to help her. Do not ask how. But know this... It shall be done- and it shall work. I assure you of it. So there is no need for tears.
