2. Strange

It is highly peculiar in so many aspects, in Loki's opinion, that the first question his captor asks him is: "How old are you?"

An Asgardian intruder has just barged into wherever this is – in Jötunheim, though, most likely, given how cold it is and the prevalence of ice… decorations… – and his captor bothers about his age instead? Is there a certain rule in such a barbaric culture that says bitter enemies of a certain age should be disqualified from torture and the like?

Odder still, his captor immediately gets up from the ice chair it has been occupying and rushes… somewhere else… with him still in its arms… without waiting for the answer. Is he or is he not a dangerous, highly loathed captive here?
