Loki's Trial Part 1
Loki is led down the court by the still fearful and leery guards with their Ivar not too far behind them. The dark prince wants nothing more than to fight his way out so he can pick himself free of the ruin enforced chains but remembers his brides words. "Don't give him what he wants." Loki smirks at his still fresh memory of her words and the action that followed. However his delight is short lived thanks to the sight of the All-Father sitting up on his throne with a dark yet victorious expression gracing his face. The dark prince trades his smirk in for a large false smile before he reaches the bottom of the dais steps where he comes to a dramatic yet comical stop while being sure to make his chains loudly clang.
With his display the mischief maker sees the two women who's love he prizes. "Are you sure you wish for me to behave, darling?" He watches her nod before addressing Frigga. "Hello, mother. Have I made you proud?" He ask playfully revealing to everyone what he thinks of his trial. "Please don't make things worse." Frigga tells him while scratching her palm in the same manner as her son when nervous. "Define worse." Loki says while keeping his playfulness.
"I don't think now is the time for screwing around, babe." Astrid tells him in a failed attempt to sober him up. "Oh but darling I thought you find my whiles to be quite sexy." Loki says with mirth while he winks at his lover. "Be that as it may, we are in a very real situation." She tells her husband through clenched teeth. "I can give you a very real situation, my love." He purrs with mirth as he begins to walk towards her.
"Loki, enough!" Odin rises from his throne with his staff in hand. "Clearly your bride and mother serve as too great a distraction." The king then turns his attention to the two women. "Frigga... Astrid... Leave us." He commands them then watches as his queen alone begins to leave. "Whatever it is, say it, child. You are as outspoken as your husband." Odin says knowing his daughter-in-law will never be one to be seen and not heard. "I think you know exactly what I am thinking. You have no just cause to arrest much-less judge him. This is a witch hunt not justice." Astrid questions Odin with the amount of bravery as Frigga.
"You are no longer on Midgard, Astrid. I am Odin, king of the Nine Realms and I will do what I deem worthy." The All-Father looks to Ivar. "General escort your daughter to wherever Frigga is and do not allow her to return." Odin orders with vexation. "Yes, sire." Ivar replies before physically escorting his only daughter out of the court.
