Thank you so much to everyone who has faved, alerted and reviewed! :D I simply can't express how much your support means to me!
I hope you enjoy the chapter... :3
Thor tried to pick up the barrel, managing to get his arms around it and grab the top and bottom, he tried to lift it enough to tip it over, only his grasp slipped, and the sugar fell on top of Thor's foot AGAIN.
"OW!" Thor yelled furiously, now more from anger than from the pain of his repeatedly bruised foot. "THAT'S IT, YOU CURSED BARREL OF SUGAR! THERE SHALL BE NO MERCY! PREPARE TO MEET THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY THOR!"
And before the kitchen staff could stop him, he grabbed a large metal spoon and slammed it down onto the barrel with all his strength.
Fortunately, the barrels were extremely strong—just about everything in Asgard had to be.
Unfortunately however, Thor hit the barrel on the edge of its lid, with enough force to splinter the wood slightly, and then the weakened lid gave way from the sugar pressing against it, and sugar spilled out everywhere.
"...Oops?" Thor tried.
"BROTHER!" Thor shouted, running through the hallways of Asgard, his footprints powdered white on the gold tile behind him. Each step he took made a crunching sound from the sugar in his boots.
It was possible to follow the trail he'd left behind through half the castle.
Thor frowned, crossing his arms. He'd already checked the every nook and cranny in the stables, and Loki wasn't there. He'd already checked Loki's room and all of the spots that Loki liked to hide there.
It must be the Library then.
"LOKI! ARE YOU IN HERE?!" Thor bellowed upon entering the library. He glanced around, seeing that his brother wasn't sitting at nor under nor on the table, nor was he up high on the bookshelves (thankfully,) nor was he in any of the isles.
Well, there wasn't any other place Loki would go, so he had to be here. Obviously he just didn't want to be found.
So of course Thor found him tucked between the wall and a couple bookshelves, in his favorite library hiding spot.
"Found you!" Thor declared, nudging his little brother with his foot.
"You do know that you're supposed to talk quietly when in the Library, don't you?" Loki said pointedly, not looking up from his book.
"Stupid rules," Thor shrugged, grinning. "Are you out early because you were banished from your banishment as well?"
"That's one way to put it," Loki answered as he continued reading.
He crinkled his finely-carved nose as he noticed the smell of pepper and bay leaf.
Glancing up at Thor, he widened his eyes slightly, inquiring with barely contained laughter "Thor, what happened to you?"
The older boy shuffled awkwardly, causing flour to billow of his tunic, and brushed his sauce-covered hair out of his eyes. "I might have had a run in with a bag of flour. And a clumsy kitchen staff who was carrying a vat of sweet sauce. And a barrel of sugar," He admitted.
"Right," Loki said, shutting the tome he'd been reading and slipping out of the corner, standing up.
He ran a finger along the top of Tanis's head, the dragon still curled around his shoulders, and he asked "Would you care to help be give Tanis a bath, Thor? She smells like horse."
Loki smiled hopefully at his brother.
Thor agreed, not catching the impish glint in Loki's eyes.
Yeah... honestly didn't know this was going to happen... the characters like surprising me O.O They really seem to prefer it that way too.
I'm sorry the chapter's so short! I had trouble writing today... I first wrote like 777 words, and then I realized that I absolutely hated what I wrote, so I scrapped the whole thing and started over. And that was at 12:30am.
Anyways, please leave a review and let me know what you think? ^.^
