At least. The words rang loud in her ears. From Hel's perspective making a fool of herself was one of her paramount concerns. There really wasn't anything she could say to amend the statement since the reverse would have meant incurring both physical harm and the hit to her pride. She should have never trusted these fools and their spells. It's not a mistake she would be making again. "When they implied that they might have found something I had a lapse in judgement."
Hel did not have an issue with magic overall- well... her own magic. This world's magic was apparently untamed and chaotic. It's own people had no mastery over the various versions. It was a wonder they could even keep the definitions of them straight.
"It's lucky for you that I am without my Aesir abilities or that would not have been the case." Normally Hel possessed a plethora of deadly spells at her command and when she was angry enough like she had been in that moment she had been reliving she would have used them. "...... I appreciate your efforts." Said a bit more softly as if showing gratitude was not something she was altogether used to or liked doling out. Still, you have to give credit where it was due.
"They're idiots. I'm surprised they even know the difference between a wand and a scepter." Not trying to mask her displeasure with the researchers. It was nice of this woman to try and mitigate the blame, but Hel still placed much of it on herself. The first month she'd known not to get involved, and she got careless. That much she could surely be held responsible for. "It's over... or it will be soon, and I will move on from there." Taking a stronger stance out loud because she didn't really wish to keep showing off her weaknesses.
"I am composed," Hel replied a little too swiftly to be believed. Then looking aside. ".... but I would like some tea." That way she could gain some companionship while things were still a little off, without admitting she wanted any. "Later, I shall seek out the ones responsible and give them what they deserve..." The last part was said more to herself.
