Diniahs heals were clacking loudly in the hallway because she was rushing. She had a pile of books in her hand that were very much over due and she needed to get them back right away. She was in a flurry, speed walking down hallways. She knew this place like the back of her hand so she was pretty sure that she wouldn't run into any walls. Well that's until she actually did. She went sprawling onto the floor with books all around her. Cheeks flushed she glanced up to see she ran into someone, a very large someone.
"I'm so s-sorry. Really." She stuttered out apologies and began to pick up her books, not looking the other prince in the eye. Thor looked at the woman on the floor with interest. He wouldn't have known who she was if it wasn't for her treatment of Loki. He knelt down and helped her pick up the books she dropped on the floor. Despite her protests.
"You help keep the records in order. Without you this place would truly be chaos, let me help you this once." Thor said smiling. Diniah blushed and looked down. She didn't know what to say to that. She remembered when Thor didn't even know who she was and she didn't know if she preferred that time or not. He began walking then turned back and looked bashful.
"I don't know the way." He smiled bashfully and watched a soft smile grace her face. He liked that smile, he wanted to see it more.
"This way." She said softly pointing to the left hallway. They continued on there journey in silence. When they reached the library he held the door open for her again and she blushed looked away. He grinned, this girl was easy to make blush.
"Can you just put them on that deck please? Thank-you." She said softly again walking behind the desk. She looked in her element.
"So this is where my brother spent most of his time." He asked. She smiled when he called Loki his brother.
"Yeah. It seems quiet without him." She sighed wistfully.
"What his your relationship with my brother?" He asked curiously. She smirked and looked down.
"Just friendship. He's been my best friend for a very long time and I couldn't ever turn my back on him." She said checking books in.
"It doesn't look like it's just friendship." He said skeptically.
"No. Never to people without an open mind. But we have never been romantically involved with each other. I think of him too much like a brother." She said looking into his eyes. Thor nodded.
"I believe you." He said. She grinned.
"So you should. I never lied." She said simply before turning back to her task. Ten minutes of just staring at her, which he felt he could never stop, she finally looked up.
"Can I help you with anything my Prince?" She asked. He blinked out of his thoughts.
"Can you tell me if Loki talks about me?" He cringed inwardly, he sounded like a Midgardian teenager.
"He doesn't talk about much sir. Just listens to me mostly. I have talked to him about you though, I think he may listen if you feel the need to talk to him now." She said calmly.
"What did you say?" Thor asked urgently.
"Just that you still think of him as your brother. And that you miss him." She said looking up at him.
"How did you know that?" Thor asked amused.
"It is painfully obvious to everyone Thor. I think you should see him." She said turning to put the books back on their respective shelves.
"Do you think he will see me?" Thor asked unsure.
"With all dear respect my liege. He is in a glass cage, he has no room to argue." She said turning around to smile softly at him before turning back. It was then that Thor made his decision.
