Da: Han nikkede og overvejede deres situation.
En: He nodded and considered their situation.

Da: "Den er helt sikkert speciel, Freja.
En: "It's definitely special, Freja.

Da: Hvis du virkelig ønsker den, kan vi måske spare på noget andet?"
En: If you really want it, maybe we can save on something else?"

Da: Freja tøvede, tog et skridt tilbage og tænkte.
En: Freja hesitated, took a step back, and thought.

Da: Idéen om at have den som midtpunkt for hendes hjem tiltrak hende stærkt.

En: This one's on my account."

Da: Marius grinede, lettet over Frejas nye sans for balance.
En: Marius laughed, relieved by Freja's new sense of balance.

Da: "Det er en god idé, Freja.
En: "That's a great idea, Freja.

Da: Vi kan alle lære noget af hinanden," svarede han.
