Elegant movement, the thin threads of grace easily broken weaving themselves around him. Natural rhythm contributed to Loki's dance, the silent beat that only he could hear wrapping his shifting form. A low bow to the right, an energetic kick to the left, his hands on the floor, fingers splayed wide as he twisted and twirled over himself, landing carefully back on his feet, his eyes closed as he faced the whole of Asgard.

In the bright shadows of the three suns the green of Loki's garments glittered like the scales of an ancient snake; beautiful yet dangerous as he bent backwards, his body contorting with natural flexibility. Curling around the strong girth of his golden spear he climbed up its length, dazzling the crowd as he reached the top, its sharp prongs threatening him before he slid down, flipping over once before landing solid on his feet.

Lowering his outstretched hands he offered the court a curt smile then pulled the spear out of the ground and twirled it in his hands before bowing with a flourish of long limbs.

Asgard roared below him. None too eagerly he made his retreat off the stage, his clothing flashing venomous green as he passed Thor.

"Beat that, brother," he hissed playfully.

Reviews?

a/n: Something like a talent show among the royals that the whole city gets to observe I suppose. The goal is to win the most cheers. Loki decides to show off his own subtle strength unlike Thor or anyone else who will try to win using brute force and displays of raw power. ;) Nahh, I just wanted to write Loki dancing. Oh and I know practically nothing of Thor, just saw the movie, yeah so things like Asgard having three suns is completely my own creation.. please don't kill me die hard fans!

The story was inspired by an amazing collection of drawings featuring Loki dancing by lil-paletskaya on Deviantart.
