I wasn't sure how long we stood there, but a cold wind brought me out of my mind. I shiver ran through my body and Loki pulled away from me and pulled off his over coat and hung it over my shoulders. Though it felt cold as the wind, I enjoyed the cover. He didn't look at me now that we were away from one another. I don't think he meant it in malice but he wasn't sure what to think of this situation that we were in. "Thank you Loki," I liked saying his name. He eyed me from the counter of his eye and just nodded as he turned and started to head toward his bedroom.

I didn't know how long it would take him to fully get used to this but I didn't mind. I wasn't in any rush and if I tried to push him it might hurt him. A small smile lingered on my face as he disappeared into the shadows of the palace. I followed suit and headed toward my room. The halls were so eerily quiet but I enjoyed the time to think. I reached my room in no time, only find Vell already asleep on my bed. I smiled at her gently and headed toward her. I petted her softly and then walked over to the free side of the bed. I was about to take off Loki's jacket when I realized how much it smelled like him. Nothing extreme or gross but just a nice simple smell. Crawling under the covers still completely dressed, I drifted to sleep.

Morning came quicker than I'd expected but I didn't object. I left my bed and switched out of my old clothes and put a fresh pair on. Leaving the young princes coat on the mirror, I left the room with Vell in soft yellow dress and quickly made my way to breakfast. Today we had the warriors three join us along with Lady Sif. When I arrived everyone was already in there place, which meant Lagina was next to Loki. Though I didn't quite like it, I didn't mind too much. Sitting across from him, I nibbled on a biset as I listened to everyone talk.

I was listening to Sif talked to Thor about an upcoming adventure they were planning, that is until I heard Lagina address Loki. Though my head was facing Sif, I listened to them. "Perhaps you'd like to join me in the theater tonight? I have one of the main parts and I would deeply enjoy knowing you were watching the show on the opening night," She smiled at him hopeful in his response.

"I would rather listen to Darigans screaming whilst I slept," Though his voice was liquid velvet whilst his words were harsh and unkind. At first Lagina didn't know how to react to him. His face and voice saying one thing while his words cut her deep. She just stared at him as he ate. Her face slowly looked away from him and shifted down. I watched her unsure of how I should feel. I loved Lagina as the sister she was, but I also had some feeling in my chest that I could not denine. Dark feelings that we're happy that he turned her down. I nibbled my lip and looked down at my own food. Glancing up Loki had looked at me curious of my reaction. I shook my head telling him it was nothing. He didn't think on it any further and started to eat his own food.

Breakfast was longer than normal as Lagina sat uneating at the table. As people started to depart she excused herself and quickly headed to her room. I glanced at Teca and father but they seemed too busy to notice Laginas dismay. I sighed and left the table to check on her. By the time I got to her door, she had locked it and I could hear her crying whimpers coming from under the door. I knocked and I waited. Nothing. I knocked again, "Lagina it's me, what's wrong?" After a long moment she opened the door and turned away not looking at me. I grimaced and walked in and shut the door behind me. The room was torn apart delicately. Unlike when I destroyed a room, she knock things off gently and slowly pull things away from where it should be. Nothing was broken but her.

I took a seat on her bed as I waited for her to talk. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. "What did I do wrong Tyr? I did nothing but shower him in affection and joy and happiness. I haven't done anything bad about her nor have I been anything but nice around him? Is he pulling a prank on me to see if I can take it? I have fallen so deeply in love with him and after him saying that I just wanna cry forever in this bedroom and never leave. I know it's silly for me to say that after knowing him for such a short time but I was ready to be his queen and love him like no one else could." She huffed and stopped speaking as she paced around her room.

I could feel my insides turn to rose vines and with everything she said the vines would squeeze tighter crushing my body and tearing holes in my soul. I didn't know what to tell her. I knew her words were true. She did love him so deeply, was I in any place to take that away from her? I was the youngest sister and father had already found someone to court me. Would I be willing to give up my own happiness for the sake of my sister? I could feel her eyes on me as I looked up at her and that's when I realized I had started to softly cry.

"Sister?" Her red eyes looked into my clear ones and she hugged me. The vines tightened so tightly around me that I felt as if every breath I took, I died. I held her softly as she cried hard on my shoulder. I stared down her back not sure what to say to her. We sat there for so long that when she pulled away from me, my body ached from the strain. She used her dress sleeves and wiped away the tears that still lingered. However she seemed to have a new resolve now. A small smile touched her lips and a new sparkle was held in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will be fine. I don't know what I did, but I will work endlessly to earn back his affection until I am his queen," Her smile was so sweet that it was sickening. I shouldn't have come here. I simply nodded at and gave a weak smile. With her new resolve she moved around her room cleaning and I got off her bed. I left her to clean up her mess. Walking down the halls, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings till I found myself in my room with the door shut quietly behind me. I walked silently to the balcony till I was right in front of the door. I stared at the beauty that was the tree that swayed in the wind.

"Could I give up on my feelings for Laginas? Would everything work out better this way? Was her happiness prefered over my own?" I tried to take a set forward toward the tree but my feet would not listen. I instead closed the doors and turned around.

Loki stood behind me and just stared at me with his icy blue eyes," No."
