*Caught Is Caught Is Cuddled Series* *(Interlocked 200-word drabble series)* – Loki wants a friend. Loki… gets a friend? Well, more than just *one* friend… maybe… and more than just *friends*. And it all do *not* happen in Asgard, sadly.

72. Mama Laufey

I am even more horrified when Atlanta points out a specific place on the current page.

"Laufey and Farbauti are NOT my parents," I scroll on the paper, totally uncaring of my penmanship. "Furthermore, Laufey is a he, not a she, let alone a mother." `No, Laufey is an it. Beasts do not recognise gender roles, except for mating purposes.` "I have but one brother, as well, and he is not named Helblindi or Býleisr." `Thor. He is Thor. First son of Odin. Crown Prince of Asgard.`

I end up revealing my identity as a prince of Asgard to her, as she still looks sceptical and horrified.

Unfortunately, she is not wholely convinced, it seems.

"What makes you hate the jötun so much?" she writes.

I give her a disbelieving look. – I told her already about the jötnar and their wasteland of a realm and even some of their brutality!

"A mother is a mother everywhere, Loki," she continues, after giving my look a shrug. "There are good and bad mothers. But I doubt one would be called Laufeyjarson if one does not love their mother. It could also be a cultural thing, I suppose, but still a good thing."
