Snarely there!

VAI The huntress Vai heard him out with a furrowed brow; she had read a lot of tales and she remembered more still, from word of mouth or otherwise, but she had no idea what the man was talking about. Ägir's domains? Hel? "I'd like to think I'd know if I were dead," she said slowly. "Besides, I didn't think the dead could have children." She patted her bump as if to clarify. "I was pulled here, as far as I know, through a portal. Such things were not unheard of in my world." Still, what he said was true and Vai wasted no time in nodding in agreement. "Your father was a very wise man," she remarked. "And his words are worth heeding. Whether you think you're dead or otherwise, I hope this world brings you as many good things as it does hardships."
