After his fall off the Birost Loki doesn't land on Midgard, but on Jotunheim. Naturally the Jotun aren't too happy to see him and don't hesitate to show him that. The almost kill him, but are forced to stop once he can't help but show his true nature as one of them. Given that there are only a few frost giants left now, they have to leave even a runt and kinslayer alive. "Alive isn't the same as "undamaged" and because frost giants have no clearly defined gender, it's kind of obvious what they plan to use him for .
Loki didn't have to wonder about how he got into this situation, he remembered every step on the way to his current imprisonment. But what he did wonder was what the giants were going to do with a traitor, kinslayer, and aesir. It surprised him when they had not killed him on sight, but instead they put him into chains and dragged him to the structure that served as a castle.
Loki did not have the will to fight them after he had been betrayed by his father and brother both. Even in his greatest moments Loki had been loathed by all even when he was doing something to benefit all of Asgard. Now he was captured by the very ones he had intended to destroy. How fate liked to make a joke of him. His very life so far was a joke: a jotun raised by aesir as a spoil of war. Now in his effort to end all the pain fate once again guided him into bonds, but at the hands of his parental race. He only hoped that they did not learn the truth of his race and be considered doubly a traitor, but even he knew it to be inevitable the first moment one of them touched him.
Distracting himself from the depressing thoughts Loki gazed at the ruined buildings that served as the caste of the jotun. What had once been great halls and spires were now just broken blocks of ice lying about with the occasional remaining arch. The ominous arches lead up to a high throne upon which sat the largest jotun int the "room". He bore the marks of his father, and Loki's father. This was the second son of Laufey.
Apparently Laufey's second coupling had worked out more to his favor, Loki thought with a chuckle. "Loki Odinson," the jotun upon the throne addressed him as he was brought to his knees before the throne.
"That is I."
"Could you enlighten me to what would cause you to venture unwelcome again into our realm; you who are a traitor to everyone in this realm?"
"I took a long walk off a short bifrost, and it lead me here by chance."
"What do you imply by those words?" The king raised his brow at Loki's cheek.
"The bridge was broken and I fell in the breaking."
"How are we to believe these tidings, Liesmith?"
"You will not see any other aesir here until at such time that the bridge is rebuilt."
"Meaning you are left in our care without any chance of rescue. So that leaves us with the problem again of what to do with you. Just like the aesir to find it convenient to drop their problems off with us. You killed my father and nearly destroyed our world. You tricked us into invading your world only to lead us into a trap," The king paused and narrowed his eyes before continuing, "And I have heard a rumor that during Thor Odinson's invasion you participated in the battle, but you were left unharmed by the touch of a jotun. I'd like to see how that last trick works."
Loki raised his head in shock and for the first time tried to get away from the giants that were holding his chains. The king gave a quick gesture for them to restrain Loki as he walked down to stand in front of Loki. Reaching out his hand the king commented quietly, "why is there anything to be afraid of, aesir, have you not survived this once before?" The extended hand caressed Loki's cheek and with that light touch the skin surrounding the hand turned a beautiful shade of blue. Loki observed the triumphant gleam appear in the king's eyes with hidden fear and a sudden feeling of nakedness, but Loki only allowed his displeasure to show on his face.
"Well, what have we here Loki? Why do you not show all of your kin in this room what you really are? Or do we need to touch all of your body for this illusion to go away?" The king's smirk even resonated in his voice as he looked around at the assembled jotun. "this is a splendid day; do you realize Loki that due to your transgressions all that you see assembled to day are the last of the jotun. And every one of them were hell bent on making you pay for their loss, but now you provide us with an alternative to dealing with you." He turned to the jotun lining the room, their numbers were few and far between and everyone of them held a pain in their expressions.
"Show them Loki, or I turely will strip you of all your Asgardian finery for them to see."
"What if I tell you I cannot control the change on my own. The only time my whole body has changed was due to an influence from the casket of ancient winters."
"Then we shall have to force it. You two take old of his hands," he said gesturing to the two holding the chains. Loki was quickly picked up by his hands and the king himself tore the robes from Loki's body. Simultaneously as the giant's skin touched Loki's, more and more of Loki's skin turned its natural color, the etched symbols upon his skin slowly appearing with each new patch of blue. When he was stripped naked and not a patch of pale skin remained upon his body, the king stepped back and presented Loki to the gathered crowd.
"I present to you the one named traitor to us all, not only is he guilty of regicide, but also patricide. With our few numbers I cannot afford to have even one such as he to be taken from our numbers, but in repayment for his actions I deem that he be responsible for the restoring of our race." The king turns to Loki, "Loki Kinslayer. That will always be your name, regardless of your wishes. It will be your future actions that will decide, if you will be called so in reverence or in distaste. I have given you a chance to redeem yourself in the eye of the people, don't waste it brother." With that Helblindi turned towards the throne again, dismissing Loki and his captors.
