Loki was having some fun with his oldest brother Bylestir in the family game room that was located a few doors down from Loki's room. He was busy looking around the games available to play and all the games that were waiting to see the light of day.

"So, Loki, do you enjoy playing with games back in Asgard?" Bylestir asked with curiosity in his voice. In his mind, he was already picking out the games he thinks Loki might be interested in playing.

"Well, I do enjoy a good game of chess, checkers, and any other game that makes me think. And on occasion, a good and fun game that involves talking," Loki replied with a smile. "And, I do enjoy horse racing."

Bylestir smiled because he does love horse racing as well during his free time. "I love horseback racing as well. Helbindi loves to do a puzzle every now and then when he is not busy with his chores."

Loki then got into thinking. "Do our parents do something when they aren't busy ruling?"

"Yes, they do actually. They enjoy reading, talking, and enjoy each other's company. Currently, they are planning to take a mini-vacation and leave the ruling on our shoulders for a few days."

Loki panicked because he wasn't sure how ruling went in this realm.

"Who is going to be in charge?" Loki asked. Bylestir noticed the worry in his brother's voice and laughed in response.

"Don't worry about anything, Loki. Helbindi and I will be in charge of things. Besides, father and mother need to see your talents before they set responsibilities on you. As of right now, you don't need to do anything for the time being," Bylestir responded.

Loki sighed in relief. He wanted to see how their ruling was, so he decided to ask.

"So, how does ruling here is, exactly? I am just curious because from what I heard, the Jotuns rule differently," Loki stated. He was very curious now. He remembered the conversation he had with one of the guards earlier that day and he mentioned that usually the king can pick any family member to be the next king or queen based on that individual's personality and the skills they possess. If they see that person fit to rule, then he or she is set to rule for an undetermined time until the next generation comes along.

"Well, Loki, here is how we govern ourselves here. There are similarities of rules between Jotunheim and Asgard and you might see that there are a few borrowed ones from one another. For example, it is common knowledge here that when someone is in trouble of doing something illegal or has done something bad, then he or she has the right to ask for a witness or a couple of them, if they were any, and for the guilty to roam free until it is one hundred percent proven that they were involved in that incident. Another rule of thumb, when it comes to the opposite sex, it is always good to remember that you aren't obliged to help her when she is feeling unwell".

Loki was questioning that rule. On Asgard, that isn't a rule because anybody can help others, regardless of their sex.

"Why is that?"

"Well, because Loki, when it comes to romance here, any physical interactions between males and females that deemed that you intent to court one another, then it is harder to turn them down later on. And besides, any girl is more than willing to court you Loki because of who you are," Bylestir stated.

"What do you mean by that?" Loki asked. He kind of understood from what he was told by his birth parents that he is rare among from the rest of normal-sized Jotuns. Being born small meant a life of pleasures, protection from harm, gifts from others, and among other great things that came from simply being small-sized. And Loki was beginning to enjoy it.

"Well, Loki, to simply say it, any female Jotun to be with someone like you is something they wish to happen because then she will enjoy the benefits from being involved with a smaller sized Jotun. I am not saying that a Jotun wishing to court you will want to court you just because of the perks that come along, but since most of us all bigger and more muscular, then you will have a problem."

Loki laughed when he imagined himself involved with a much taller female Jotun by his side. "I can see where you're coming from."

Then their conversation was cut short with a knock on the closed door. "Come in," Bylestir said.

Helbindi came and along with the parents behind him. Farbauti closed the door behind her.

"Hello, mother," Bylestir said with a smile. Loki was slightly smiling too because he was surrounded by his birth family. And loved no less.

Thor approached Heimdall after his conversation with Frigga and Odin. Heimdall knew Thor was coming to see him and ask him about Loki. He was secretly looking out for the younger prince since the day he stayed at Jotunheim and kept an eye over him in case anything bad happened to him.

"Hello Heimdall," Thor said. Heimdall nodded in confirmation. "You're here to know about Loki." It wasn't even a question.

"Yes. I want to know how he is," Thor replied. He was missing very much.

"Well, I have only good news to tell you. He isn't treated bad. His family are loving towards him," Heimdall replied back.

"That is good to hear," Thor replied.

"I am getting the feeling that you're not telling me something," Heimdall said.

Thor frowns before answering. "I am just scared of losing Loki."
