Odin walked fast and held his head high as he made his way to Loki's so-called room. When he interred, Loki was sitting with one leg up on his other a little slouched and looking out the window.
Odin cleared his throat and stood in front of the glass cell separating him from Loki. "Loki," He said.
Loki slowly turned his head and looked at Odin. "Hello father," He smirked.
"I heard word that you had spoken to Aurora."
Loki smiled again and then his face went expressionless. "She found me," he told Odin truthfully, surprisingly.
"Did you talk to her?"
Loki stood up this time and walked over to the wall and looked right at Odin. "So what if I did?"
Odin's face went cold as if he wasn't serious enough. "Stay away from her, Loki. You know damn well why you are in there. There are many reasons why you are in there and you know this without a doubt."
Loki sighed. "Why are you here?"
"I told you once and that should be it...Yet here I am telling you again."
"You can't keep her here forever. What do you plan on doing with her anyway? Have you decided what kinds of toys you're going to put in her cage?"
Odin was trying very hard to keep calm. "You'll stay in there until I feel its right for you to come out." With that, he walked away ignoring the screams of Loki. "Keep your distance."
"You can try to keep your little human girl safe, but this is Asgard! There is no room for sympathy here!" Loki yelled at him.

Aurora reached up high and grabbed a thick book with a smooth creamy white covering. There was no title but a weird design in the middle of it. She opened it and flipped through it, finding that it was in a completely different language. She put it back seeing that there was no use in trying to read it.
The next book she picked out had a blue cover and when she opened it most of the pages were covered in pictures of fierce monsters. Some were ugly and absolutely revolting but then there were a few that were drawn so elegantly but she knew that was probably just as dangerous. There were also captions at the bottom but those, too, were in a different language. Aurora sighed and closed the book. I'll take the book with just in case, she thought.

Just then, she thought of Loki. He was smart and seemed like a person to have spent days just reading books. But then again...he was such jerk, so why did she feel the need to go to him whenever something came up? Maybe Thor would know...
She shook her head. But Aurora really wanted to go see Loki. She already knew where he was. It wasn't like he'd be going anywhere any time soon and he was more likely to know this stuff. Besides, who else would have the time to sit down and talk to her about a book?
It was settled then, she would go see Loki and if he didn't want to help her out when she would just be out of luck.
She held the book closer to her and off she went, leaving the library and running down the halls, making her way to Loki.

Aurora heard a soft tap-tap against the glass and as she tip-toed the rest of the way to Loki's cell and indeed she found Loki pacing the floor of his cell, tapping the window occasionally just for the hell of it. He must have been bored as hell.
"Loki," she said.
Loki stopped instantly and raised a brow. He said nothing.
Aurora walked closer and held up her book. "Look."
Loki glanced at the book and then back at her.
Aurora flipped the book over to look at and said, "It's filled with pictures but then there are captions at the bottom in a different language," she looked up at Loki and smiled a bit. "I was wondering if maybe you could tell me about these creatures. I don't know where the others are and you're the first that came to mind." She stood there in awkward silence waiting for him to say something to her...anything.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"What?" Aurora was a little letdown. No surprise there though. "Please?"
Loki thought for a moment. "It's not good for you to be here."
"Why?"

Loki was fed up with all of her questions and just wanted her to go the hell away, then again he enjoyed her company. He liked the fact that she thought of him and not always in a bad way like a lot of Asgardians did now. Perhaps that's why he put up with her.
He sighed. "Odin...my father does not want me speaking to you."
Aurora shrugged. "Well...I AM the one who started talking to you first and I AM a guest here and I expect to be treated as such. If Odin has a fit about it he can talk to me. I have no problem with that." She held the book up again. "Will you?" she asked.
Loki rolled his eyes and sighed. "If it pleases you," he said slowly and walked over to the glass wall and sat against the wall the same as Aurora.

Aurora opened the book to a random page and held it up for Loki to see. He took one look at the picture and began speaking. "Arvak. A friendly celestial mount A horse of the sun. Its name means 'early awake'...boring creatures." he commented.
Aurora continued to look through the pages, picking out ones that looked the most interesting to her.
"Bolthorn," Loki started. "A Giant...friendly and lives in the mountains. You might...find them interesting."
"And what about this?" Aurora turned herself around more.
"Buri: another giant and mountain dweller. It's friendly and one of the first to emerge from melted ice. Hildr: a humanoid, friendly, female celestial warrior and part of the Valkyries and also brings the best warriors to Valhalla." Loki laughed at this a bit. "Fire-Drake: Dragon; part of the reptilian family of course. Not very friendly by any means."
"It looks amazing." Aurora breathed, amazed at such creatures.
Loki snickered. "Try fighting one. Nothing amazing then. Next?"

Aurora continued to flip through the book. "Oh! This is a Kraken. A dangerous sea monster; better known as an octopus."
Loki looked at Aurora. "Yes," he said. "Correct...You know of this creature?"
Aurora nodded. "Of course. I've heard of it a couple of times in books and movies." She smiled. "After all that's happened I can't help but believe that something like this can exist." She continued to flip through the pages. "How about this one?"
Loki sighed. "Kari: another giant mountain dweller..." He then got a bit of a stern look on his face. "A...Frost Giant...Troublesome creatures. Next..."
Aurora saw the uncomfortable look of Loki's face. "Are you all right?" she asked.
Loki ignored her concerning question. "Next." He said and Aurora went through the book again. "Ninnir: an aquatic, seductive mount. It's deadly and lives in lakes and rivers. It enjoys making music. The Nickers are also known to fall in love with women...Trows: also known as Drows, another form of trolls. These are deadly and quite ugly. I've fought them before," a smile crept up on his face. "Nasty that thing was...I enjoyed killing it."
Aurora flipped through the book one last time and held it up for Loki to see. "And what about this one?"
Loki took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Ymir:...another Frost Giant. He was created from the void called Ginnungagap."
Aurora tried sounding it out but failed and Loki laughed at her a bit and then waved his hand to make her stop trying. "Sorry..." She told him. "It's a weird name."
Loki made no comment on that and continued reading. "From his sweat, all giants were born. He fought and died by Ymir's hands. His blood became the sea, his bones became the mountains, his flesh the earth, his hair the trees, and his brains the clouds."
Aurora got a disgusted look on her face. "That's...terrible..." She put the book down on her lap and closed it. "I've lost interest all of a sudden."

Loki couldn't help but laugh at this. "You humans, especially women, get so worked up over the littlest of things."
Before Aurora could say something back she heard the loud echoes of someone's footsteps coming in.
"Aurora? What are you doing in here?"
Loki looked up and Aurora turned around to see Thor standing there.
"Oh! I was just...having Loki read me some things out of this book. I don't understand the writing and thought maybe he would."
Loki got up soon after and walked over to his chair. "Were you worried about me, brother?" he asked Thor.
Thor looked away from Aurora and over at Loki. "I came here to check on you." He then looked to Aurora. "You are not allowed in here."
Aurora protested. "But...I enjoy Loki's company."
Thor and Loki both looked at her. Thor wasn't sure what to say. "You...enjoy my brother's company? Really? Do you have any idea what kind of man my brother is?"
"Oh Thor, don't sound so harsh." Loki joked.
Thor ignored his brother's comment. "I'd like it best if you did not speak to him, Aurora." He said calmly to her.
Aurora sighed and put her head down a bit. "As a guest of Asgard...I'd like to keep talking to you brother. I enjoy a lot of peoples company here. Why is Loki any different? Keeping him in there proves nothing."
Thor didn't know where to begin to tell her all of Loki's lies and tricks. "Please, Aurora..."
Aurora heaved a heavy sigh. "It's not right to keep him locked up like some animal."
"Aurora..." Thor pleaded.
"You all act as if he's the most terrible person here."
"Aurora...Stop..."
"No...Am I the only one who talks to him like a normal person?"
"No more, Aurora..." Thor said one last time.
"He's right!" Said Loki.
Aurora turned to look at him.
"Because of my actions...my attempts to rule over Asgard and then over your pathetic race..." he eyed Aurora. "Those are the reasons why I am in here. But I agree with you: keeping me in here will do nothing. Prove nothing."
"Brother...do not speak," Thor warned him. He then looked to Aurora. "Aurora...my mother, the queen wishes to see you. She is in the main garden. I hope that you will go see her."
Aurora looked back up at Thor. "All right..." She said and slowly walked out of the room, holding the book close to her chest.
Thor looked to Loki. "You know well, brother, why you are in there..."
Loki grinned. "I'm a threat...to your precious Priestess...Aurora," he said her name slowly with a sly smile.
