He told him. He told him not to use the teleportation spell.

He told him that he can happily go in the carriage for as long as it takes.

He told him how last time his health got effected when he tried the teleportation spell. But…

He just never listens!

Akir didn't know why but as soon as Loki cast the spell, they land in Hlin's chamber. The worst thing was that as soon as they landed, Loki kneeled over and they didn't even get to address Hlin who was…ah…

About to go to take a bath….and she was….

Let's just say…in a compromised arrangement.

Oh norns! What is happening this day?

"Loki!" Akir said in horror as Loki took shallow breaths.

"My prince!" Hlin rushed towards them. Her voice could tell that she was still in utter shock.

And who will not when two young boys suddenly get appeared in your chamber when you're…removing your clothes.

Sorry Hlin, for me and for my friend

"What has happened to him? How you arrived here?" Hlin screamed.

Akir tried his best not to look at his friend's friend.

Oh norns Hlin cover your chest!

"He used the teleportation spell!" Akir said hurriedly.

"What! Why didn't you stop him!" Hlin shouted as she was rubbing Loki's cold hands.

I tried to stop him

"I told him! I told him not—"

"You remember what ill happened last time!"

You don't need to tell me! I remember it very well

Very well

Akir looked at Hlin. Tears were rushing out from her eyes. Tears were even rushing out from his eyes.

I should've been more stubborn

He turned to Loki, while his hands were still tightly clutching his friend; he tried to shake him slowly.

"Loki! Loki wake up!"

Please wake up!

"Akir go! Call someone."

"No…"

Akir would've rushed out of the room to ask for help if hasn't heard the voice.

"Loki! Akir smiled a bit.

"My Prince, are you alright" Hlin said.

Loki tried to speak but only a pained sound escape through his mouth.

"Don't speak If you can't" Akir said.

Loki gave a grim smile as he leaned back and take the support of the bedpost.

Thank norns!

"Again…first..." Loki turned his face and looked down. "…Hlin aren't you r-revealing so much u-unwanted secrets." Loki couldn't help but let a smirk show in his gloomy smile.

Hlin slowly moved her hands towards the chest and stretched the bathrobe enough to cover her…unwanted view.

At that time she noticed that: all this time her cleavage was showing a little too much.

Akir felt an urgent urge to know if that pink color on her cheeks was of embarrassment or blush.

"…and second, I-I apologize for disturbing y-y…ou so suddenly… "

"There's nothing to be apologetic for, my prince hither you are well." Hlin smiled.

Yes he shouldn't apologize, but be ready for chastisement

"…and third, I'm not alright but…I'm better than dead."

Better than dead

And here I was dead

"But you should apologize to me" Akir said a little louder than his usual voice.

Though his voice can never really tell how much of a storm was rumbling inside him.

He didn't even how scared I was…for him

Loki turned to him and pursed his lips.

Yes, do feel bad

You don't even know how scared I was!

"I apologize my friend."

Do you really?

He wanted to stall a bit. Let him feel bad more but…

It was not easy to be angry with Loki on a short term basis lest be long.

He had this adorable voice, these ardent eyes….that-

You cannot avoid but surrender to everything he does or tell you to do

"I forgive you." Akir said.

Despite all the pain, there was a minute of playfulness that came on Loki's face.

Oh yes, I know how much of a manipulator you are!

"What had happened to you, my prince?" Hlin asked.

Yes

Loki straightened up a bit "I really don't know what happened. I was…as I cast the spell-I I felt a pressure…" his hand touched his chest slightly pressing it. "…a sudden suffocating pressure on my chest like-like my air in the lungs is sucked out…" he turned to Hlin "…for a moment I felt- blank…it was like for a second I…."

"What?" Akir asked

"Nothing." Loki waved

Akir felt like Loki was keeping something from telling.

I'll ask him soon

"Just like before, right" Akir said to confirm.

"Yes, yes just like before." Loki hurried.

"Prince you should take care of yourself." Hlin softly said.

Like he'll listen to you

"Yes my little Hlin, otherwise if I be gone then who else would entertain you."

"I do not mean it that way, my prince" Hlin said in a disturbing way

"Oh I know you didn't" Loki assured her to which Hlin curved her lips.

"Loki jokes aside, but you must take care of yourself. Your magic is still developing; any harm at this stage would be for a lifetime. Know that."Akir added the fact as he knew Loki would not be able to deny it and to his achievement, Loki nodded as Akir smiled little proud of himself.

They remained quiet for a while until Loki spoke-

"Hlin, where's lady Saga?"

"Mother has gone to Fensalir."

Loki raised his brow. "At this hour."

"She has gone since afternoon, my prince."

"Oh"

Akir turned his face and try to look through the glass window.

The sól was setting down

"Loki I think—"

"My little girl, I've come back" a voice interrupted Akir from saying.

Hlin smiled. "Mother has arrived."

"Think so." Loki said.

Hlin's chamber door opened.

"My dearest—My prince! Akir!" the woman gasped.

"Mother!"

"My lady!" both Loki and Akir said in chorus.

Lady saga looked at her daughter.

"Norns, what are you wearing?" she cried.

"Mother I-I…"

Hlin, Akir, and Loki looked at each other.

"What has happened?" the lady asked.

Akir snorted.

This day is just so exhausting


oOo

Glimpse from the future:

"Loki okay! You want to eat, okay! Let me go, back home, then you surely eat with them and then go back to your sweet golden palace in ease, but, let me go."
