Loki was in his Jotun bedroom, whom was located just across from the other's own bedrooms. His room was larger than the one he had back in Asgard.
While he was picking some things up close, a knock interrupted his train of thoughts.
"Come in," he answers and Laufey comes in after a few moments later. Loki's eyes widened and suddenly he got nervous, thinking that he would be in trouble or he was about to tell him something Loki doesn't want to hear.
"Hello Loki, are you busy?" Laufey asks. He wanted to bond with his youngest son and knowing how Loki is based from what he had seen and from their previous encounters, getting on Loki's good graces might take a good while. But Laufey was willing to do whatever it took in order for Loki to accept their birth family and be whole again.
"No, I am not," Loki quietly answers, still a little anxious being around the Jotun king. He wasn't sure what Laufey wanted.
"Loki,I know you're very wary on being around me. I promise you I will break down those barriers, as well as those stereotypes, you have about us. I helped create you," Laufey mentioned.
Loki nods before he decides on responding. "Can I call you father?"
Laufey smiles so wide that Loki thinks that his face might break in half. "Of course you can, Loki. You don't need to ask for permission. You are allowed to call us what you want and if you're willing to call us by mother and father, then you have all our permission to do so," Laufey explain, his very large and blue hands grabbing Loki's much smaller and ebony hands. Loki was smiling because he believes he will be accepted on Jotunheim rather than on Asgard.
"I am pleased that all of you are willing to accept me, even though I was raised in Asgard," Loki said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter where you were raised. Your bloodline is still the same. All these years, I thought you were dead and now, this is the day where I thought it would never arrive," Laufey said as a lone tear dared to fall from his eye. Loki noticed and quickly wiped it away and the small action made Laufey smile in return.
"Why are you crying, father?" Loki asked with concern. He didn't like when others cried in his presence, especially when it was a family member.
"Because you are here, returned to us Loki. It matters not just to our family, but to all of the realm of Jotunheim. When all Jotuns knew of your birth, we all rejoiced because we knew that we were saved and that you were a gift of the gods themselves. They knew what you were capable of with your magic and skills," Laufey said with a smile. Their conversation was cut short when Farbauti came into the room. She was smiling herself when she saw her husband and her son speaking.
"Hello mother," Loki said, surprising Farbauti in the process. She was caught off guard and spoke up.
"What did you call me?"Farbauti asked, her tone was full of happiness and in surprise.
"Mother. I have called you mother," Loki said again, this time with a smile. Laufey was smiling during this interaction between his son and his wife.
Farbauti, not expecting for Loki to start calling her mother so soon, rushed towards Loki and quickly hugged him, out of pure joy and love.
"Oh Loki, hearing you say mother is beautiful," Farbauti said, earning a blush from Loki, causing Laufey to laugh.
"It is?" Loki asked. His cheeks were still tinted red and was restraining himself from smiling himself.
"Yes, my son. I say it because I thought we would never see you again. Losing a child is always a traumatic event for the parents and seeing that you're safe and sound, Loki, is something to be joyous about," Laufey said and Farbauti hugged Loki again, and this time around, he hugged her back.
"I want to spend a day with you," Loki said. Just as Laufey and Farbauti were about to answer his question, a knock interrupted them.
"Come in," Farbauti said. Helbindi came into the room, looking rather bothered by something.
"Is something the matter, Helbindi?" Loki asked before Laufey had the chance to ask himself.
"Yes, there is something," Helbindi replied.
He was a little bothered and he replies, "The southern region are here to speak with you father. They are being persistent to do so."
Both Laufey and Farbauti soon got angry. "How dare they come uninvited?"
Helbindid replied. "I am not so sure but they keep saying that they have important issues to speak."
"Well, let's teach them a lesson on manners, shall we?" Farbauti asked her husband and he gave her a smirk, something that Helbindi knew that something was going to happen in the court.
Both parents left and Loki asked, "What happened?"
Helbindi turns around and answers him, "The southern region are notorious for their manners and their behaviors. They think they are entitled but they are not. Almost monthly they come here wanting to negotiate things with mother and father. But, now, it seems that things got out of hand."
Loki was now thinking. "What did mother was trying to say to teach them a lesson on manners?"
Now, Helbindi was smiling too. "You called her mother?"
Loki nods in response. "I did, along with father."
Helbindi was beaming with pride. "I am so happy and glad you addressed them that way."
"I am glad I did too."
"Now, you want to go see what is going to happen at the court. You don't want to miss it," Helbindi said and with that, both he and Loki ran off to see what it is.
