Disclaimer: I don't own Thor.
It's two weeks before he makes the monster come out again. Although, he's not exactly sure what it was that he had done to make him come out. It's a little worse than the other times too because the monster had done quite the number on his shin. Not Atli the monster in Atli because Atli would never do these things to him. In fact Loki's sure the bone is either broken or sprained, he's hoping for sprained but Loki can't really tell. Either way Loki decided to just hide away in his room until it felt better. Although, if it was broken he might develop a limp which wasn't likely to be good cause it wasn't something that he could easily hide.
There was a knock on his door. Loki frowned as it's wasn't Thor's usual obnoxious knock and then realized after a moment who it must be. Loki looked down at himself to make sure his glamor was still in place, because sometimes if he got too distracted the glamor faded. However the glamor looked exactly how it was supposed to.
Loki not only unlocked the door but made it open as well. His mother glided into the room. Loki wasn't really sure how she managed to glide everywhere that she went. Loki smiled as his mother sat across from him at the table in his room. At first Loki had been worried that his mother would be able to see through his glamor, but the fear proved unfounded. No one seemed to see through his glamor. Which was good, even if there seemed to be something strange about that; though he wasn't really sure why.
"Mother." he greeted her with a respectful nod of his head, but his smile was much more friendly than his formal greeting.
"Loki." she said with a smile while she looked around his room and gave him a reproachful look.
"Loki, have you been taking books from the library again?" Loki shrugged he knew he wasn't supposed to and the library wasn't terribly far from his quarters. Loki though, had always found that rule stupid, and rules he found stupid he tended to not obey. His mother just shook her head at him, she didn't look angry though. In fact she looked more amused than anything. Yes, Loki knew where he had gotten his mischievous nature from, as well as his sense of humor.
He wished that he could tell his mother about Atli. About how much Loki loved him, especially because he knew that his mother worried about him and his happiness. Loki knew that to her it appeared like Loki's only friends were books and magic. That was the way things had been before Atli. That and Thor making him come along on his adventures. He didn't miss those, or Thor he told himself. But he didn't believe his own words.
"What am I going to do with you?" she asked him fondly and used a hand to tuck his black hair behind his ear. Part of him wanted to protest but he didn't. This was his mother and he found it harder to be cross or sullen with her than with anyone else. Except for Atli of course.
"There's nothing to be done I'm a hardened criminal." Loki said with a smile and his mother matched it.
"Well my hardened criminal, I've missed having you around. You will try to get out of your room sometime will you?" she asked getting back to her feet. Part of him wanted to protest the shortness of the visit, Although he knew that as queen she had many duties to attend to, duties he would have when he was older as well. Loki nodded even though he doubted that he would be getting out anymore than he already did, since it always seemed to cause him problem with Atli. His Mother smiled at him and headed out of his room. Part of him wanted to call his mother back and spill his secrets to her, but he stopped himself and just let her go.
