Snowflake

Chapter summary: The temptation of mother nature is so very hard to deny.
20. Itch
Beholding the non-tumultuous outside world for the first time in this place during his captivity, Loki longs to run run run run.
A thick-seeming blanket of snow on the rugged surface of the land below greets him from the large window – one of several in this room – that is finally opened by his captor. The soft breeze that blows in is brisk and damp and earthy and so inviting. And the seven-century-old finds himself scrambling up the windowsill, about to join the world at large.
The whine that escapes his mouth quite involuntarily, as his captor catches him round the middle before he can tip out of the window, is loud and heart-broken. It is also the first ever real complaint that he dares utter in the presence of the frost giant, however unintentional it is.
But that openness, that freshness, that snow, it is so worth the risk!
