-Thor's Pov-
This could easily have been the most intimate request I have ever received from any one of my friend maidens. I would have to comply with her, it was simple enough to do but perhaps it was how heavily she depended on me to do it was overwhelming. "I shall return momentarily," I spoke with caution, "Okay," she said not looking up from her hands. I wonder if this is uncomfortable for her to ask... It's just a favor. I decided to peak my head out the door, I did not wish to depart from the room again unless I am just outside of it. I viewed the hallway and couldn't see anyone but a young girl no older than 16 in human years holding a rag and a bucket. "You there, young maiden." She spun around looking behind her to see if I was really talking to her. I stepped out of the room completely shutting the door behind me my gaze never faltered from hers "are you regarding me Prince Thor?" she asked innocently keeping her distance," Yes I am, I require someone would it trouble you to fetch them?" I assumed that Sigyn would be the best person to help (name) dress and bathe seeing as they were well acquainted and a stranger might make her distressed. "Of course your highness, anything you require." the young woman swooned over me biting her lip in what I guessed a suggestive manner. "Do you know of a handmaiden who goes by the name of Sigyn? I require her to tend to Lady (name's) grooming." she snickered while setting down the things in her hands to laugh at the mention of her, "You mean fire crotch?" I was taken aback by the name, "Fire crotch?" I repeated back to her in a puzzled manner only to receive more giggles. "That is what all the servants of the palace call her, rumors say that when she and the Prince mysteriously departed it was because she went to a different realm and started a brothel. "I scolded the young girl, "You should not partake in foolish gossip it is not a noble use of your time." She dipped her head low and nodded "I am sorry, I will find her for you right away my lord. "I watched her scuffle away to find Sigyn; it was disheartening how everyone spoke of her so lowly. Not even I knew what happened between Loki and Sigyn they were inseparable for years and suddenly despised each other. There was plenty of room for rumors and gossip when neither of them felt the need to clear it up and (name) who seemed to be left in the dark about all of it. Regardless of her current emotional stability Loki had plenty of time to tell her before now. I opened the door to her room only to find her nose deep into that little book I had brought her. I wondered what was so important inside of it that she was so absorbed in her own little world. "I have sent someone to retrieve Sigyn, is that to your liking?" she eyed me from across the room and nodded, "Thank you, and I really mean it; you didn't have to do all this or help me and it truly means a lot. I know this is the first day of actually being awake but it was a nice day and you made it bearable, I'm glad you're my friend. "Her voice was feminine and small making her words feel more genuine, she didn't smile but the look in her eye inclined me to believe she wanted to. I tried to remember a quote I have heard Steve say while I was on Midgard but I could not remember it, "as such are friends required for." she looked like she did not understand what I had just said so I knew that must not have been correct, nonetheless she gave me an affirming look before returning to her book. I longed to ask what she was reading or writing inside of it but I did not wish to push boundaries after that dreadful quote. Gentle taps came on the door, Sigyn was the only being who it could be, and I believing it was her opened the door to reveal Sigyn and at least five other maids. Before I could even protest they all entered the room like a hurricane primping and preparing whatever was necessary. The next time I looked up the bathroom door was open inviting warm bathwater was in the bath along with rose petals. Since it was getting dark outside candles were lit sitting among the large vanity with brushes, combs, perfumes, soaps, and any other feminine product I had never seen. Then they all shifted to focus on (name's) wardrobe, two maids trying to get her to cooperate with undressing her and three of the rest setting clothing out for her to wear while Sigyn was still in the bathroom."Woah there is no need for all that." (Name) argued trying to fend off the two maids, "Thank you for all the help but I can handle it from here." Sigyn decreed guiding them all to the exit and trying to push me along with them. "Wait, I have to lift her." I appealed and she relented allowing me to stay but she still shut the door on the rest of them. "Alright arms up," she demanded walking back towards (name), "I can't do that, that's weird." (Name) directed her eyes up towards me and back to Sigyn, "Hmpf, fine Prince Thor will you be ever so kind to pick her up." Sigyn said in an over exaggerated sweet tone that resulted in a smirk from (name). I nodded making a bee-line towards (name) the main goal was to get in and get out as soon as possible. I lifted (name) bridal style she was so light and thin that I wanted to kick myself for not making her eat more. Two months with hardly any food you would imagine she would have asked for even more food instead of hardly eating anything. I walked through the large archway of the bathroom trying to figure out the best way to set her in the basin safely. Sigyn was step for step behind me and (name) obviously overseeing the care of her, "Put her in gently don't just plop her in." I rolled my eyes but thankfully she did not see that (name) however was very amused by Sigyn's use of the word plop. I started to place her in the bath as slowly as I could until she was fully in the water, "Thank you!" she said looking at me warmly, her white nightgown had clung to her body with the help of the water giving me a very clear detailed outline and view of her breasts. I turned away abruptly as not to offend her or her honor and because that was not something my eyes should behold. She did not seem to take notice but Sigyn most certainly did in comparison, "I will return in two hours' time," I regarded Sigyn approaching the door back out into the halls, "Make it three!" she called out to me before I left the room completely.
