Writer's Note: I don't know about y'all, but when I listen to She's Got Me Dancing I imagine Sif smiling.

Chapter 3: Resplendent moon

She managed to move through corridors without attracting much attention, in this wing of the palace there were few guards at this time of day, she continued until she reached the other side, the left, where there was a large window, with a good view of the fields of training, she looked at the warriors, captivated, without realizing far steps that were becoming stronger.

Loki was in the left aisle of the west wing in direction of social etiquette instruction rooms for male Asgardians, when he noticed someone in the distance, next to window, approached stealthily, noticing that it was a girl with beautiful golden hair.

"Who are you?" He asked intrigued.

The girl shuddered with fear, she had been discovered, slowly turned around, to her relief it was just a boy, she supposed he had escaped classes.

"I...am…."

"What are you doing on the men's side?" Loki questioned with real curiosity, he knew that the girls were in class now, on the right side of the East wing.

The girl blushed embarrassed "A-and you? What are you doing outside of classes? "She replied, emboldened.

"I'm not in a group, I still do not reach the age," he repeating his father's words, shrugging shoulders slightly.

The girl was about to say something when she heard screams from other corridor.

"Sif! Show yourself immediately! "

She, with visible fear went, to the corridor from where that strong voice came.

Loki watched her leave, forgetting the reason why he was there, without noticing a smile spread across his face.

"It's incredible that you ignore all the rules and you sneak through corridors like a common thief" the mistress crossed her arms and she had a very angry expression, while Sif was at the front of the class, embarrassed and looking towards the floor.

"Why did you want to go to the men's side?"

"I ...wanted to see...the landscape." Sif was nervous at critical eyes of the mistress and looks of her companions

"The landscape" the mistress repeated sarcastically "and for that you went to the left side of the East wing"

"I-I do-o not-"

"There are several times that you escape from my class Sif and I will not tolerate this rebellious behavior, you are here to learn to behave like a real lady, this is the most important class you have." She looked at her "As punishment for your disobedience, you will remain practicing the writing of runes with Mrs. Seren until the sun went down, I will send a servant to warn your parents and no more escapes, is it clear to you? "

"Yes, mistress." Sif answered by ducking her head, she could hear the murmurs of her companions, today would be a hard day for her.

After dinner, Queen Frigga went to her children's room with a few servants, once there. she began to titivate her children quickly.

"Why are you titivating us mother?" Thor said as his mother straightened his shirt.

"We have visitors, we should receive them."she declared.

"Again?" Thor was bored, he raised his eyebrows . "Is it necessary?"

"As prince of the kingdom your presence is an obligation," she said finishing titivating him, while other servants approached with combs, perfumes and lotions.

"It will be only a moment, then you and your brother will be able to play in the next room" Frigga reassured him and then she began to brush Loki's hair.

"They are ready" she said after a while, looked at them satisfied with a smile, she took both of them by the hands to meet Odin "Come on"

Once they got to Odin's side, they received Bjørn and his family, he was a great warrior of a great lineage, brother of the leader of the Einherjar, Tyr.

"It is a great honor to be before you," Bjørn said bowing and his family too.

Odin recognized them and they straightened up. "I see that your daughter has grown remarkably" he observed the girl, assessing her.

"Thank you, my king, my wife and I are proud of her, your children have also grown a lot"

"Come with us to the visiting room," the queen declared, "there we will have more privacy."

When they reached the room Frigga told Bjørn "your daughter and our children can wait for us in the next room."
Bjørn nodded "Sif waits there" his daughter retired with the princes to the adjoining room, while they took a seat and were looked after by servants.

In the next room the two princes evaluated Sif, for different reasons.

"Sif, rigth?" Thor said, taking her hand "it's a pleasure to meet you"

"Thanks," she replied, shaking his hand.

"I've seen you in class of history and writing" he gave her a smile "you attend the palace training centers like me."

"Yes, it´s true" she returned the smile.

Thor frowned and then crossed his arms thoughtfully "So ... what do we do? We're going to have a long time here ..." He started pacing back and forth while thinking of a way to entertain himself.

Loki looked at Sif intensely, who avoided his gaze.

"We could play hide and seek although there is not much space here, or The warriors but we do not have swords either ..."

"You're the girl of the other day," Loki muttered. Sif met his gaze somewhat nervous.

"I know! I'll ask mother for permission, maybe she'll let us go to the arcade or at least allow me to bring my things. "Thor snapped his fingers and retreated to the other room.

"Do not tell anyone, please if my parents knew ..." Sif looked at Loki with pleading in her eyes.

"Your mistress did not tell them?"

"No, she just punished me" she ducked her head.

"What were you doing there?" he raised his eyebrows.

"I-I saw the warriors train,... I would like to be a great warrior one day" the volume of her voice diminished with each word, she prepared for her teasing.

"That's ..." Loki said before Sif's sad look "peculiar, I will not say anything."

Her face lit up with joy and she smiled radiantly.

Loki smiled back, they stayed like that for a while looking at each other, until Thor arrived.
