"Stop it!" Lavender giggled as Thor threw another snowball at her.
"And what if I don't?" Thor laughed.
She paused for a moment to think of something witty to say, but she couldn't help herself; she quickly gathered a pile of snow together and threw it at him. As it hit him Lavender started to giggle and Thor chased after her.
"C'mon, stop now," she said trying to be serious, but Thor just laughed. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing, I just find it funny when you're trying to be serious."
She scowled at him before standing up straight, "I have come to see Loki, Prince of Asgard," she declared, acting as if Thor wasn't a prince – she knew this annoyed him.
Now it was his turn to scowl at her, before throwing another snowball.
"Urgh, what are you, eight?" She teased.
"No, you are," he said calmly, "Did you forget how to count again, Lav?" he said pulling his tongue at her, "I'm nine, remember?"
She knew she'd lost this time; she always lost when she was by herself. "Can I just go and see Loki now, please?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Oh fine, come on then," he smiled, knowing he'd won.
They both walked into the palace and Lavender asked if Loki was feeling any better, Thor told her that he was getting better and that he should be fine by next week.
They got to Loki's bedroom and Lavender was slightly mesmerised by the huge doors - she'd never been this far into the palace before - she expected Thor to knock but instead he just barged in. She should have known better.
She walked in behind Thor, seeing Loki's annoyance at him barging in; Loki never liked people coming in without knocking, however all his annoyance melted away when he saw her, "Lavender!" He beamed, getting out of bed and running towards her. She ran towards him and they both hugged each other.
Thor rolled his eyes, "it's like you haven't seen each other in months!"
"You're only jealous," Lavender said, ticking her tongue out at him.
"What are you, five?"
"Actually, we're eight," Loki smiled
"Forget how to count?" Lavender mocked.
Now it was Thor's turn to change the subject.
The three of them sat on Loki's bed and laughed and joked and played for hours until Frigga came in, telling Lavender it was time to go home. Thor and Loki both complained but Frigga told them that Lavender could come over again the next day. Lavender gave them both a hug before she went and met her father at the gates to go home.
