[Loki's certainly not impressed with his new accommodations, not one bit. He knew that he was about to fall, something just told him that he wasn't going to hold on, that he wouldn't get the answer from Odin that he so desperately needed to hear. So falling through the realms wasn't really unexpected in the end. But what he didn't expect was to survive at all. Much less survive, and end up here. But if he's stuck, for now, he might as well try to gather a bit of information. Ignorance is rarely bliss, in the end.]

This place certainly has it's questionable charm. Questionable being the keyword. I suppose this is when I humbly beg my fellow captives for information? I'll try to make it worth your while, in the future.

[She hardly ever expected an immortal prince to turn up either. But it makes her so pleased. She was enjoying not constantly having people under foot, but she missed this. Missed the easy back and forth way it was when someone knew how these things went.]

A realm of Gods would be. I doubt any mortal can imagine it... [Watching him carefully in short glances. She didn't want to say anything to upset him.] Thor, ah. He always reminded me of my Father in the stories. [That was to say, loud and brash. It must be hard to be brother of such a man.] I... like that it's real. Very much so. Do your women truly fight like men do? [There's so much hope in her voice. For that to be true... Oh she'd rub it in every single ministers face with pure sadistic glee, even if it was most undignified.]

It does, doesn't it? [She laughs a little, then shook her head.] It's so utterly ridiculous. The things they say I do. I don't know where I find the time to bed nearly 200 men and get all my state papers done. Of course, this is when I'm not planning out vile tortures to those that oppose me and casting black magics. Really. It's a very full schedule.

[Which on that note...] Can you... truly do sorcery? [It's a very faint question, she's not sure how she feels about it. Actually, talking to him at all. She is sure this technically does count as... well, something heretical.]

[She's quietly enraptured of the way he speaks of it. She spoke of court the same way, so she understands, how difficult it was to summarise that which you were so fond when it was so vast in both good and bad memories. Not that she'd put her court on the same level of the realm of the Gods, that was probably blasphemous anyway.]

I will have to hear of it one day, I'm fascinated. The stories are remembered probably not the way they were told. But then stories do that. Men for a long time dreamed of having an afterlife fighting in the halls of Valhalla [She's doing her best to distract him from too many thoughts of home, purely because it had been done for her. It had helped in the strangest way too. Made this passing easier.] Lady Sif? How utterly glorious to be able to fight like that. And yes the Valkyrie too, but that is a little more predictable. Well what warrior wouldn't be fond of such a woman coming for him when he dies? [Not that she would ever fight, such things really were better left to those that were trained for it.]

That's a good saying, I've not heard it before. But, yes, I think so too. Honestly though, I wish they would get more creative, but they're only really concerned with the assassinations rather then name calling. How boring. [She likes him a lot, she decides. He had the same sense of humour she had. Which... was mocking at times, but only to those that did not know how to use words.]

[She spent a long time thinking on that, did it matter?] If we were in my England? Yes, it would. If only so much as I would have to have you hid to stop them... well, burning you alive. But here? No. I do not think it matters so much. As long as you do not want to hurt me, then there can be no fault. You're not so much a shock as the boy with a cat tail.

[She'd never thought another words could effect her so much when they were over so simple a thing. She knew better then to be completely overcome because of them, she knew his legends, and all legends had a base of truth in them somewhere, but she greatly wished for what he said in any case. Even the way he talked felt like so much like home.]

I would like that my lord, I would like that so very much. [She was actually showing some emotion over it, God forgive her. And she gently reached to take his hand, gripping it tightly for a moment before letting go. The same way she showed her own lords favour, hoping it was the same with him.] Yes, it does help to have such warriors. But I keep wars as infrequent as possible. Having barely any army, navy and an empty treasuring forces one to other means of creating peace. Thankfully, it's something which I am skilled at. I much prefer trade. [And the only time she had taken to war, it had ended so badly, she was loathe to ever do so again.]

Assassins are at least to the point I suppose. But they do get in the way when you're having a good time. No consideration, some of them. Ruining my meals. [And she had enjoyed more luck then most with such things.]

... You are very powerful, my lord. And I never thought you were so small a thing, you are a God at one time to my people for good reason. I must admit that it scares me some, but I'll take it at your honour that you mean none of us any harm.

I am so happy to give that, people take it for granted, but I promise I never will. [It's small, and barely there, true displays of emotion were difficult for her to say the least, unless it was her temper, but she does smile at him properly.] I have heard that said, but sometimes it's not risk the uncertainty. You can never predict them, and it drives me utterly mad when when I am forced too. [No, Loki, not good.]

It put me off my favourite desert for awhile. They put glass in it, nothing ruins a meal like that. [She wished her guards were half so alert. It would save so much time.]

I am sure you will, and I know my trust will not be misplaced.
