Loki was in his room, fat tears falling down his cheeks. His mind was filled with questions and didn't want to see anyone, except Frigga. As he was about to go grab a napkin to dry off his tears, a knock interrupted his action. He quickly dried off the tears with the back of his hand, when he asked.

"Who is it?"

Frigga's soothing voice came in from the other side of the wooden door. "It is your mother, Loki. May I come in?"

Loki's head snapped. "Yes mother, you may come in."

Quickly, Frigga entered the room and she closes the door behind her. She could clearly see that Loki has been crying because his eyes were watery.

"Loki, how are you feeling? I know that Odin was out of hand with the Frost Giants and I didn't know he would do such a thing and agree to such agreement."

She quickly hugs Loki and tries to comfort him the best he could. She could feel that Loki was crying due to the fact that she could fee the wetness in her dress.

Loki hugs her back. He could feel comfort in being in her arms. Just as he was about to say something to her, Thor comes in without saying a word. His eyes were focusing on Frigga's back. And Loki panicked a little because he knew that Thor would tease him a little for crying when their mother leaves them alone.

"Loki? Mother?"

Frigga's figure turns around to face the older male.

"Thor, where is your father?"

Thor frowns even more. "He is at the courtroom. Do you wish to speak with him?"

Just as he was about to go fetch Odin, Frigga stops him from doing so. "No, I don't desire to speak with him, just after what he had done with Loki. He did not bother to consult with me and ask me for another opinion. At the moment, I am not pleased and angry with him."

Loki was silent during their conversation. He didn't want to see Odin either, let alone in his current situation. He was beyond angry that he would do such a thing without regarding what he thought or felt about the whole thing like he didn't matter at all.

"Mother, what is going to happen to me now? Am I going to Jotun, now that Odin had agreed to that Frost Giant's terms?"

Loki was a little nervous about the answer. Throughout his whole life, both Thor and he grew up with stories about the Frost Giants about being savages and enjoyed killing others just for fun and that they had no culture whatsoever.

"Loki, I wish I could answer that you're not going to such a place. I wish I could tell you that those terms and agreements are off, but before I tell you a definite answer, I have to go see Odin and hopefully, Laufey and counteroffer another thing. I will not allow that you will be exchanged for peace. I am sure that there are other things to agree on, but I am not going to allow you to go to that realm."

Frigga gives a kiss on Loki's right temple and dismissed herself, leaving Loki and Thor behind. When Thor sees the door closing, he quickly sits down on the place where his mother sat in front of Loki, he starts talking.

"Brother, please, I don't enjoy watching you cry."

"How do I act, then, after knowing that I may be going to that savage place? Odin doesn't love me after all. If he did, then he wouldn't do such a thing to me. He betrayed me. I am nothing but worthless and a thing he could be exchanged for something as measly as peace."

"Loki, you heard mother will talk him out of that idea. I am sure that she will succeed," Thor tried to comfort Loki. He hopes that Frigga will somehow make Odin do something else that doesn't involve or include Loki in his plans with the Frost Giants in any way.

"I am not sure about that Thor. I wish to be naive but I am not."

Thor then explains, "Loki, look at it this way. Throughout the years, mother and father had been in rule, father always seeks out mother's opinion and approval on all things that benefited Asgard in some way. I am sure that this time around, father will see mother's reasons. You know what they say, mothers know best."

Loki's heart jumped a little in hope. He hopes that Thor is right this time around. "I do hope that mother is successful this time around. If she is not, then I don't know what I will do then."

Both brothers agreed to have the day spent together, in case that Loki will be sent off to Jotun soon.

In Jotun, King Laufey was pacing around in his private chambers, with his wife Farbauti. He was anxious because he may have his youngest son, Loki, back into their lives. But, it seems that Loki was keen on the idea because he knew about the stories Asgard have about the Jotun's race. He felt disrespected in that category.

"Laufey, please calm down. Seeing you pacing around is making me anxious as well," Farbauti says. She was sitting down in the large and luxurious bed as she watched Laufey walking around in circles. She knew about Loki as well and the stereotypes he has about Jotun as a whole. She was a little heartbroken because Loki hates everything that has to do with Jotun and the Frost Giants, as well as himself for being one.

"Farbauti, I am also sad that Loki hates us. But, he is one too. Shouldn't he be at least see us in some positive light?" Laufey timidly asks his wife. He was also upset because he thinks that he and Farbauti will never have Loki's love. He regrets putting him in the temple that fateful day. But, it was for the well-being of Loki due to the fact that a war was raging on. He was planning to fetch him soon after the war was done, but Odin beat him to it. After that day, he was living in full regret, as well as his family and the temple's monks, who were busy running around and taking in the wounded soldiers and away from the battlefield and prevent them from further injury, or death.

Farbauti was busy, along with Helbindi and Bylestir, defeating the Asgardian soldiers. They haven't witnessed that Odin was carrying the youngest royal member in his arms.

"Laufey, what happened in the past, stays there. Why bring it up when it can't be brought to the present? At least, we will be seeing Loki after a long time. But, I am upset that instead of being a joyous occasion, Loki has these stereotypes and discrimination ideas of us."

Laufey stops his worries and goes directly towards his wife. He grabs her hands into his. "Love, please. Maybe someday Loki won't see us in that light when he spends some time here. He will see that we are not bad as he thinks we are."

Farbauti still wasn't satisfied. "I am not sure. I do hope you're right in that."

"I promise, Farbauti."

And Laufey kisses Farbauti as his promise.
