I had feels while in the Taxi back from M.I.T today when this song came on my iPod so... ehehe... the other two main parts of this song I want to write on as well but I just can't figure out how to write them correctly so... :/
It's Loki and Sigyn after their boys are murdered... there seems to be a bit of this lately...
This song is Feel the Tide (Turning) by Mumford and Sons. :)
She sits him down in a stiff chair
Rubs his back and strokes his hair
Telling him it's okay to cry
But he just sits and stares
The merciless moon outside
Has nothing now he's come to realize
Only the desolation he feels
The cold distance inside.
She sits him down in a stiff chair beside their window, she almost thinks he's competing with the chair on who can be stiffer backed, and she almost thinks he's winning. She strokes his matted, greasy hair, he has refused to bathe since he was released two hours ago, and she rubs his back, trying to get him to relax under her touch, trying to get him to calm down.
"You're allowed to cry, darling, they were you children too." She whispers to him, tears threatening to fall from her own eyes, she doesn't think he even hears her as his haunted eyes continue to look at the bright moon outside. She wonders what he's thinking, but she doesn't need to wonder because she knows. She hopes he's not thinking of what happened, but she doesn't need to hope, indeed she can't hope, because she knows; she knows where his mind is at and she knows what he's thinking because her mind is there with him, thinking those things too.
Her arms drape around his much too thin shoulders and she holds him tight, far too tight and it's the way that he doesn't respond that breaks her heart into even smaller pieces. "They are with their elder sister now, you know this, Loki. Not even Odin can hurt them now." She whispers into his ear, voice nearly choked with tears but he doesn't hear her or he just deigns to ignore her, so she tries again. "Please, they took my sons from me; don't let them take my husband from me too. We have paid the price they asked of us, we have paid it in full but no more. Please."
She does not leave him when he does not reply; she won't lose another to the kings 'justice.'
But you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning.
