I would just like to point out something about Urd's Asgardian language: ,---

Sufficiently good faux-Shakespearean

It's native Asgardian, which only bares a very basic resembance to 
Shakespere

"Thou" and "thee" only refers to the singular. Should be "ye hast impeccable
taste" , "two of you", "would behoove you" and "amongst yourselves".
This is if the Dark Horse translations of the OMG manga or whoever translates
the anime isn't making this kind of mistake, too. I can't remember seeing it in
the manga, but if I'm wrong, it's probably fair game.
