Comments

[leikur]

"Of course," Loki murmured as Odin addressed him, his expression carefully neutral now as he waited for the man to finish saying what he had to say, easily containing his disgust at the blatant dislike that man still held for Frost Giants. Seriously, Odin, you needed to try harder if you wanted to convince anyone that you weren't racist.

As Odin gave his command and left them, Fandral fought back a laugh and turned it into a cough he muffled against one of his gloved hands.

"Would you like us to accompany you as well, Thor?" he mused, eyebrow going up as he glanced at his friend then to Loki and back again. "Just in case he tries anything?" He clearly wasn't all that worried. In fact, he was rather inclined to trust the Frost Giant.

Volstagg had both arms hooked over the axe resting over his shoulders as he watched them all banter, shaking his head in amusement.

"I think you mean in case our dear friend Thor tries anything, Fandral."

"It seems your friends know you quite well," Loki mused, lips quirking again as Fandral and Volstagg both chuckled.

[ragnarokyourworld]

OH, was he trying to convince anyone that he didn't harbor ill will? Well, there was still time for changes to be made. Odin was working on it. He was far more tolerant than some at least.

Thor gave Fandral and Volstagg a sharp, irritated look. "Who's side are you exactly? Should you not stand by your crown prince?"

Hogun sighs, interjecting himself finally. "Enough. The two of you, with me. We can take up position outside of the facility. It will draw far less attention to our guest that way."

Thor nods, giving one last sharp look at his supposed friends before striding ahead into the building. He was clearly still frustrated with how everything was playing out. Why would Heimdall trust him with this information? Were they not friends? Shouldn't Thor know these things if he's to be king?

He was at war with himself now that his initial adrenaline had worn off. The Frost Giants were an old enemy. He'd grown up understanding the majority of Asgardians hated them yet Heimdall had raised one as his own, even talked about him freely if never specifically saying he was Jotun.

"Why did Heimdall never introduce us?" Thor slowed his walk to match Loki's pace, side-eyeing him.

[leikur]

"Yes, of course, my apologies Thor," Fandral said with a quick tip of his head, fighting back a grin as Volstagg just rumbled in amusement and headed off after Hogun. A quick wink was sent Loki's way before the third warrior followed, the Jotun grinning faintly as he continued after the Asgardian prince, arms still tucked behind his back.

"Perhaps because he knew you would react much like you have been this entire time," Loki suggested in a mock innocent tone, glancing over at Thor as his grin faded. "We kept my presence here discreet as we had agreed that I would return to my homeland once I was at an age where I would be able to care for myself and aid my people without issue. Your father and mother knew. Outside of them, no one else was aware of my true heritage."

And he couldn't help but grin again, turning his gaze forward.

"But I was never hidden from you. You were just far too busy to notice anything that wasn't of interest to you."

Ale. Women. Men at times. Fighting. Those sorts of things.

[ragnarokyourworld]

Thor gave Fandral a long-suffering look because seriously, now wasn't the time. In fact, it would never be the time. Ever. Don't even think about it, Fandral.

"I wouldn't have reacted this way if I had met you like this." Which wasn't entirely wrong. He would have been shocked to find out later, of course. Maybe felt lied to. But he wasn't completely closeminded. Did he come off that way?

"If you were Heimdall's you would have been accepted into Asgard freely." Thor was quick to say, putting quite a bit of trust in Heimdall's name. He wholly believed it wouldn't have been a problem, because it was their Gatekeeper.

Never mind that he was burdened with deep-seated racism himself. That wasn't the point.

"No, I surely would have noticed you."

The response was perhaps too quick and Thor's brow was furrowed in thought. He glances at Loki again, squinting. He definitely would have noticed. Perhaps if he figured out...

But they were at Heimdall's room. He didn't have time to continue this chatter. Thor pushes the door open, smiling warmly at the Gatekeeper who returned it with a node.

"Ah, I'm surprised to see you, Thor. I thought you would never have the courage to speak directly to Loki." He extends an arm--his only arm now-- to beckon Loki closer.

[leikur]

"I would have been accepted freely as long as I looked just like everyone else," Loki corrected with a hint of disgust in his voice. "Your people have always held a dislike for mine and always will."

Heimdall was the exception to the rule. He had never looked at Loki like he was anything less than his son.

Anything else he has to say is left for another time because they were at his father's room and Loki's expression melts into one of worry. Heimdall doesn't even have to beckon--with one arm--for the Jotun man to head over, beelining to his father's bed and taking his hand in both of his.

"Father," he said softly, gaze sweeping over Heimdall as he forgot about Thor for the time being, sitting on the edge of his father's bed. "I--father, I'm sorry. Had I known.." Shaking his head, Loki lifted Heimdall's hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. "I'm so sorry."

[ragnarokyourworld]

Thor wanted to continue the ... debate but, of course Heimdall was speaking. Making him feel awkward and a bit confused. Courage to talk to Loki..? Had he met the Jotun then? Loki didn't seem to remember meeting him, but seeing him...

Heimdall gives Loki's hand a squeeze. There were a few broken veins in his eye, surrounding the yellow iris from where he'd received quite a blow to the face but besides and the arm he seemed none the worse for wear. The arm bit was quite the downer though.

"If you had known then you would have either been a part of it or dead for knowing." He smiles at his son, pulling the pale hand towards his own lips for a return kiss of affection. "I am glad to see your face, even if in the wrong color."

Thor hesitates then turns to tap the console. It blacked out the windows to the room. He chose to stay facing away then, brow furrowed.

"Thank you." Heimdall gives a brief nod, before his attention was fully on Loki again. "The All-Father will want to speak with you, if he has not already."

[leikur]

Loki sneered some, shaking his head. "I would never sink to such a level, to attack Asgard--to attack you, of all people. I have my issues with this place but you know better than any that I would not condone actions like these, father," he said without hesitation, squeezing Heimdall's hand as if hoping--wanting him to understand that he was telling the truth. Wanting someone to believe him since everyone else seemed to think he was lying.

Sure he despised Asgard for many reasons but he wasn't stupid enough to want to want to mount an attack against the place. And to attack his own father?

He glanced over at Thor as the Asgardian blacked the windows out and stayed turned away, gaze lingering for a moment before he turned his focus back to Heimdall and slowly allowed his glamour to fade. Pale skin melted back to blue and green eyes seeped to red, horns reappearing as the young Jotun allowed his true self to be revealed once more.

"Briefly but it was implied he had more to say," Loki murmured only to sigh as he looked down at their joined hands. "I have no doubts he'll be displeased with the information I have for him considering I have none to give. I only knew about the attacks because Thor and his companions arrived on Jotun which I initially thought to be an attack in itself."

[ragnarokyourworld]

"Don't think that I am saying you would, Loki. I trust you. I believe your words."

So many that knew who Loki was refused to trust him based on what he was. Heimdall wished only that Loki be judged by his deeds and not by his heritage. He provided much to Asgard by working directly on Jotunheim to bring peace between the two nations. He deserved better.

"He is already displeased that Thor thought to try and handle things himself." The gatekeeper smirks, knowing Thor was snapping himself around to protest but manages to resist and turn back around. "The All-Father doesn't blame you. He is angry at the situation, not at any one person. I have already told him if he is to be angry at anyone it should be me."

Heimdall should have seen the attack coming. Something had clouded his vision and it was of great concern.

"While I recover we will need a temporary gatekeeper. As the All-Father asked for my recommendation I put your name forward, Loki. You aren't obligated to accept, of course..."

[leikur]

"Of course I will accept," Loki said quickly, in a determined manner as he grasped his father's hand again between both of his. It didn't matter to him what objections others might have to him taking the position. He was going to do it. It's what his father wanted and it's what was going to happen. "However long you need, I will hold the position. My position on Jotunheim can wait for the time being."

Loki glanced over towards Thor briefly before focusing on Heimdall again, reaching out with one hand to brush his fingers against the damage to his father's face.

"No harm was done by Thor and his comrades visiting Jotunheim. What is far more important is figuring out what happened. Why any sought to attack Asgard given the state of our realm currently."

[ragnarokyourworld]

"It wouldn't be allowed, Loki standing as Gatekeeper." Thor finally interjected. He couldn't stand idly and not interrupt when it came to this topic. "He is a Frost Giant and Asgard was just attacked by those same people."

Heimdall pulls in a calming breath before looking to Thor, a brow raised. "Do you think he would stand at the gate as he is? He isn't a fool and nor am I--"

"Father wouldn't allow it to happen. And we could have been attacked by the Vanir even and he would not allow it to happen." Thor knew his father to be a good man and an open man but for the sake of Asgard...

The gatekeeper sighs, giving Loki's hand a squeeze. He knew what Thor was saying was most likely true though... "Do not think so little of the All-Father, Thor. He may carry a distaste for Frost Giants but not choosing Loki to stand at the gate would be because of the recent attack."

He looks to his son, who he still believes to be the best option. "We will see what Odin chooses to do. I would like you to stay a bit longer, so we might catch up."

Thor felt as if this would end up being a private conversation. He stands awkwardly for a moment more before thinking of something. He nods to Heimdall and Loki as he moves towards the door.

"Take your time, I will leave you to your talk."

[leikur]

Loki couldn't help but bristle. Leave it to the blessed son of Odin to object like that. To speak his opinion on the matter when his opinion wasn't necessary. His grip on Heimdall's hand tightened slightly as he glanced over at the Asgardian, red eyes narrowed to thin slits.

He understood what the other was saying but no one knew the position better than Loki. (Outside of Heimdall, obviously.) He was the best choice for the position.

"...Yes, we shall see what the All-Father wishes," Loki repeated, gaze still on Thor, a slight frown on his lips before he focused on his father and immediately his expression softened. "I will stay as long as you wish me to, father."

Nothing would pull him away from Heimdall's side.

Though..

"..Thank you, Thor." Irritation with Asgardians aside, Loki is still grateful that the other brought him here and well, he would need to keep a decent relationship with the heir to the throne if he was going to be here awhile.

[ragnarokyourworld]

Thor gives a slight nod before disappearing out of the room. Heimdall sighs, giving Loki's hand a small tug.

"Try not to blame him for his prejudices. He has the potential to grow beyond them still and I am hoping he does. I am still disappointed he never plucked up the courage to speak to you when you were both children. You could have been wonderful friends but he hardly remembers it now..."

It would have been nice. Thor becoming Loki's friend, independent of any outside influence to do so. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be so.

"Tell me everything you have been doing, catch me up. I'm awake and you are here..."

It would be a few hours before Odin finally sent for Loki. Heimdall gave an encouraging nod, being unable to go with him. Strangely it was Hogun, Fandral and Volstagg who fetched Loki for the All-Father and not Thor.

Odin was overlooking Asgard from a palace balcony, leaning on the rail as he surveys the evening movements below. Thor tipped his head to Odin as he departs, passing Loki with a short glance before motioning for the warriors to follow him. Best not to stick around for the moment.

"Loki. I trust you know why I wanted to speak with you."

[leikur]

Loki was more than happy to tell Heimdall of all the progress that had been made back in his realm and while it wasn't necessarily as much progress as one would hope for just yet, some was better than none. Most of the internal fighting among tribes had ceased and Loki had been able to establish a council of sorts among the elders of the tribes. There was no singular leader, as his true father had been, and it was for the best for the time being. Resources were still low but in time they would attempt trade with the other realms--if such a thing could be done what with Jotunheim's reputation.

All in all, things were getting better. At least until three Frost Giants had to go and make things difficult for all.

When the Warriors Three arrived to escort Loki to Odin, the young Jotun lingered at his father's side for an extra moment to press a kiss to his temple, weaving a protective spell over him before slipping away to join the trio waiting on him. By the time he stepped into the hallway he was once more in his Asgardian guise and chatted pleasantly with Fandral as they made for where Odin waited.

He met Thor's gaze, briefly, before focusing on Odin as he was left alone with the All-Father, arms tucked behind his back underneath his cloak as he tipped his head respectfully.

"I have an idea or two why. My father mentioned a few things that you might wish to speak to me about."

[ragnarokyourworld]

"I expressed my concerns to Heimdall, about you not knowing this attack was coming. He was adamant that you would not know of it. My son informs me that you said as much when you spoke to Heimdall." Sorry, Loki. Thor wasn't going to deny an answer to his father's questions. "I trust my gatekeeper and my son, as foolhardy as he can be."

Odin steps away from the overlook, turning to look at Loki. He remembered Loki as just a baby when Heimdall showed him to the All-Father. Loki still was so small compared to his brethren. He would never have survived had he been left there.

"I am unsure if I trust you, if I am to be honest. You have spent much time among your people, yet you claim to know nothing. You, a spy and a skilled one at that." Odin's voice was even, eye watching Loki for a long moment.

"...But even spies can be deceived. I have heard news that Jotunheim has shifted its government to a council."

He motions for Loki to come closer, pulling a sigil from his cloak. He presents it to the young Jotun.

"This is Laufey's sigil, is it not..? It was on each of the Frost Giants that attacked Asgard."

[leikur]

He wasn't surprised to hear that Thor had reported things to his father; he wouldn't have expected anything less, to be quite honest. Given how tense things were right now it was only fair that everything that was overheard be told to the All-Father.

"Understandable and I hardly fault you for feeling as you do," Loki said sincerely, not in the least bit surprised to hear Odin admit it nor was he upset by it. Relief briefly flickers over his face as the All-Father continues, though, and the young Jotun nods. "Yes, a council of elders representing each tribe," he explained even as he stepped closer. "So far it has--"

Loki's words cut short at the sight of the sigil, a bitter taste filling his mouth.

"...Each of them?" he murmured, hesitating a moment before reaching out to take the sigil from Odin so he could look closer at it. "It is indeed Laufey's sigil though last I knew the last of those loyal to him had been dealt with." This meant that there was something brewing that had gone unnoticed by him and that was more unsettling than anything else.

[ragnarokyourworld]

Odin is watching Loki carefully, noticing the unsettled expression. He is quiet for a moment, allowing the boy to handle the sigil.

"You have the option, Loki, of accepting your birthright upon Jotunheim. Instead, you've chosen to give power over to the people. It is... a noble action." Though, to be honest, what Frost Giant would listen to one as small as Loki Laufeyson?

But the gesture was still there. Loki could have demanded his throne. Could have fought for it. Instead, he was making changes. He was building the Frost Giants up from nothing. There was quite a bit of Heimdall in him despite not sharing true blood.

"...Heimdall recommended you to take over temporarily as Gatekeeper. I was unsure, considering what you are--who you are." Not only a Frost Giant but the heir to the Jotunheim throne. "Thor, when he came, insisted I consider you. That if I am to consider you heir to any legacy it should be the father who raised you. I am inclined to agree but I find myself wary. Would you be able to leave the work you are doing on Jotunheim for that period of time?"

[leikur]

"Had I been brought up by the Frost Giants perhaps I would have sought power without hesitation," Loki said as he glanced out over the city and away from Odin with a slight frown. A thoughtful frown. "There are many that were confused by my decision, my suggestions but those that protested have come around--at least I thought they had. I..would like to think that my father has a lot to do with the being I am now."

If not for Heimdall who knows how Loki would have turned out. Just another greedy, power hungry giant though he may not have survived long enough to even become that given how small he was.

His gaze snaps back to Odin when the other mentions how Thor insisted he be consider, genuine surprise on his face that he can't mask fast enough.

"He did?" How unexpected. He would have to find the other later and..thank him again. What a strange individual the Odinson was. "There are a few giants on Jotunheim that I know I can trust to oversee things in my absence. I know that probably does little to comfort you since I know you have your hesitations about my people but these particular individuals would lay down their lives before letting another ruin what we have built." There's conviction in his voice that he hopes Odin hears and understands. Loki knows he can trust the Frost Giants in questions and, should anything happen, they would alert him immediately.

The boy seemed hungry. Not for food of course but for something else. Odin wondered often what it could be that fueled him but perhaps it was something as simple as acceptance. Could it be something that simple? Some people wanted for little in life. Laufey had been quite a grand person. A warlord who was willing to shed blood for his people's expansion.

"You're correct in that I don't trust just anyone but I will have to. Though, understand that any issues..." His expression was stern. There had already been loss. Heimdall would recover but would always be missing the arm. The people would question his sight now.

"You can take over for the time being. We will need you to take over as soon as you are able. Currently, we have a young man, what was his name.. Skurge. He is handling it and I must say, I'm not exactly impressed."

[leikur]

Acceptance. To make his father proud. To prove that he could be more than just the Frost Giant most people saw him as.

"Any issues and the fault will fall on me," Loki said without missing a beat, nodding his head to Odin while holding the other's gaze. "I will take full responsibility for anything that should happen if it does."

It was a risk and he knew it but he also trusted the two individuals he had in mind with his life. They had stood by him while he found his footing in Jotunheim and they would follow him now. Plus they understood how much Heimdall meant to Loki.

"If you would allow it, I need only to return to Jotunheim briefly to put things into motion there and then I can return to take the position. I would send word by messenger but given the circumstances and what is at stake, I would prefer to do it in person," he said after a moment of thought, frowning just a touch. "I would rather not risk a message falling into the hands of another."

[ragnarokyourworld]

Odin wasn't entirely sure if Loki understood the gravity of his words but he would accept it at its face value. Any issues and it would absolutely fall upon the young Frost Giant's shoulders.

"By all means, do what needs to be done, so your position is not weakened in your absence. Once finished, return to pick up your duties. It is peaceful at the moment, outside of this attack so it shouldn't be too difficult and Heimdall has told me he would be available to speak with in regards to any troubles."

Odin waves his hand slightly. "And you have the same resources available to you as he did. Go on then, take care of what's needed. I am available to you, as well as Frigga and Thor should you need anything from us as well."

[leikur]

"Thank you, sir. I hope to not let you down," Loki said sincerely, bowing partially before turning and taking his leave. There was much that needed to be done and the sooner he returned to Jotunheim the sooner he could return.

A day was all he would need to get things in order, the young frost giant having already started to formulate his plan and his orders for when he returned so it was easy enough to put everything into motion. Skadi and Imr weren't thrilled with the idea of Loki spending an extended period of time in Asgard but they also understood the situation and just how important Heimdall was to the other Jotun. In Loki's absence the pair would oversee things and keep an eye out for any traitors lurking--or any that had information of the attack on Asgard itself. The third member of their little group, Fenrir, refused to be left behind and thus Loki had to use some of his magic to make their four legged companion a little less...threatening looking.

When he arrived by on Asgard it was in the company of a large Dire Wolf with unnaturally red eyes and pelt blacker than the night sky. Loki couldn't help but take a bit of delight in the way Skurge balked at the sight of Fenrir, the Jotun resting a hand on his canine friend's neck as he glanced at the Asgardian.

"Please inform the All-Father and Thor that I have returned," he said smoothly, form shimmering as he took on his Asgardian guise.

[ragnarokyourworld]

Skurge knew that there was going to be someone... different arriving to take over but this wasn't exactly.. well. It.. It was clearly...

The Asgardian made haste in departing the area. He wasn't going to stick around and be devoured by a Jotun's dog! It wasn't long until rumor started to spread though when people came to peek.. it was just another Asgardian. Skurge continued to lose a bit of face after that bit. He still insisted, but really.. the proof was before everyone's eyes.

Thor took a couple days before actually going to the gate himself. He was dressed down, hair half tied back sloppily. In his hand were a pair of large tankards, filled with ale.

"Loki! You're missing a celebration! So much like Heimdall you are." He extends the tankard out to Loki with a broad smile.

[leikur]

Loki didn't pay much mind to the visitors though he was never rude. He was very much Heimdall's son and in showed in the way he greeted everyone with a simple nod as he cared for the gate and watched over it, Fenrir staying with him at all times. Fandral and Volstagg paid him a visit at the start of the second day, much to his amusement, and stayed for a few hours to chat before departing for the festival.

The exact one that Thor was referring to now it seems.

The Jotun had been seated on the steps of the platform with a book on his lap, Fenrir resting on the platform itself curled around the sword and locking mechanism when Thor made his entrance. The wolf immediately growled but Loki held a hand out to quiet him, amusement on the young man's face as he spared the God of Thunder a glance.

"I am here to look after the gate while my father recovers. It wouldn't be wise for me to slip away from my duties already," he mused, pausing for a moment before closing the book and standing so he could reach out and take the offered tankard.

[ragnarokyourworld]

"Well, I could ask my father if you could take a break for one night. Skurge could handle it, especially if you allowed your wolf to make sure of it." Thor had heard about the wolf. He was glad he had, or else it would have been far more startling to see. He reaches into a pouch and offers what looked to be-- yes, a full sized steak.

"A beautiful creature you have. I'm told he's very intimidating for your visitors."

Loki had been accepted easily enough, despite the rumors that he was a Frost Giant. They hadn't gained much traction, considering that they could clearly see he wasn't. Thor was amused by it, especially when he was turned to for some level of confirmation. His response was often just a vaguely confused shrug. Who knew with Skurge.

"Have you had the opportunity to see Heimdall since taking on his duties?"

[leikur]

Fenrir stared suspiciously at the God for a moment then glanced at Loki who was sipping his ale with an amused look on his face. The wolf's tail swept the platform once, then again before the large creature rose to his feet and hopped down to take the steak from Thor.

Alright. He approves.

"As entertaining as I'm sure it would be to watch an Asgardian celebration, I'm quite alright here," Loki said sincerely as he lowered his drink. "Thank you for this, though." He lifted the tankard slightly in a gesture. "It's appreciated--as is the steak, that I assure you."

See the way Fenrir is tearing into that steak? Yeah. Definitely appreciated.

"I have not, though your companions were kind enough to bring me a message from him and sent one to him for me in return," the Jotun said with a small smile. "I wanted to take my place here as soon as I returned from Jotunheim."
