"You're not going to lose him, Thor. I can assure that," Heimdall promised to prince while holding Thor's hands into his own. Thor wasn't completely convinced with the promise and his blue eyes darted down to their joined hands before responding, "I am not so sure about the Frost Giants about being kind to my brother."

Heimdall weakly smiled before stating, "Let's not forget that most of Asgard wasn't, and currently still is, very kind towards Loki. If the Jotuns are kind to Loki, then he will get to decide whether or not to return to us."

Thor didn't like the sound of that. And Heimdall knew because of the face Thor made. A look of disgust.

"Thor, please listen to me. Loki might actually be treated better on Jotunheim than the treatment he received here. Would you like that he will continue receiving hateful remarks from most Asgardians?"

Thor stayed silent for a few moments before answering. "No, I don't. I am still ashamed that I never did anything while growing up to defend him from others."

Heimdall stopped Thor before he continued on insulting and belittled himself over something that he sometimes couldn't control.

"Thor, please stop saying those things to yourself. Talking that way isn't going to solve all those years of Loki's bullying. What has happened in the past, stays there and unfortunately, should remain untouched unless required to do so. What you should do now is be there for Loki now, in the present. Understood?"

Thor smiled and nods.

"Good, because I have news for you."


"Loki? Can we talk for a moment, please?" Farbauti asked when she saw Loki pass down the hallway towards his room. He had spent the remainder of the day out in the gardens with his two brothers and getting to know them better and meeting most of the working staff that were currently working tending the flowers and the healing waters near the palace. And Loki was happy to say the least because all the Jotuns he came across adored him, mostly of his size. They fussed over him and they all tripped over each other in order to do things for him. There were a few physical brawls between the male Jotuns while there were verbal insults thrown between the female ones, which made Loki laugh out loud because he found the incidents very hilarious. He planned on telling his Asgardian family once he saw them.

"Sure, mother. Is there a problem?" Loki asked with a small smile. He was attempting to read a Jotun book but failed because he can't read the language. He found the words weird and unfamiliar. He decided to skimp through the pages and there were a few pictures scattered throughout the leather bound book.

"No, there isn't a problem, Loki. I just want to have a conversation with you. First off, I want to know what was your life like back in Asgard?" Farbauti asked with a smiled on her face. She truly wanted to know how he was treated back home. Asgard mostly brought Loki bad memories but there a few good memories here and there.

"Well, it is a sensitive topic. Mostly because I wasn't treated as well as Thor did," Loki answered.

This answer made Farbauti frown because she hates the face that Asgardians stereotypes all Jotuns in a bad light. And it angered her that Asgard didn't appreciate Loki.

"Loki, what did they do to you? And please answer me truthfully," Farbauti asked and Loki stared at her with questioning eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable answering such questions because everytime he did, he cried. And he hates when he cries, especially in front of others.

Loki felt a little uneasy answering the question because it brought him many bad memories and Farbauti could see the sadness in Loki's eyes. She quickly grabbed Loki's hands into hers and the action made Loki look.

"Everyone in Asgard hates me, no matter what I do. They all love Thor because he is the golden prince and because he is Odin's son. And me? A saved bastard from Jotunheim, cursed to be unloved by them, save by Frigga." And the tears started flowing down his chiseled cheeks, causing Farbauti to wipe them away. There was a big frown on her face and she made a mental note to herself to speak with Laufey later about this topic. And then, have a long discussion with the Asgardian royals.

"Loki, please stop crying. They are not worthy of your tears. If they had mistreated you to the point of making you cry, then they certainly don't deserve your tears. As a mother, I don't like seeing you cry for whatever reason. I just want to see you happy, laughing, just being loved. If Asgard can't accept you, they don't deserve you. You can count on the fact that Jotunheim will accept you with open arms and won't let you down."

Then, Farbauti gave Loki a kiss on his temple, causing him to slightly blush in return, making Farbauti to chuckle in response.

"Oh, that was unexpected," Loki said with a small smile.


"Thor, Loki is currently talking to his birth mother, Farbauti. Although I am not sure what they were talking about, it seemed that it was a sensitive topic because Loki was crying a while ago," Heimdall told Thor what happened after he saw the conversation unfold between the two Jotuns.

This news made Thor sad for some reason he didn't understand.

"What do you mean Loki was crying? Did the Jotuns made him cry?"

Heimdall sighs before answering, "No, there was no harm from any Jotun his way. If there was, then I am required to tell your parents about it. But, I am not sure what caused Loki to cry but I have a feeling that it could be something about us, the Asgardians."

Heimdall's response made Thor a little angry and guilty at the same time. "Oh, then I am very guilty of not doing anything in the matter to defend my brother from outside insults."

Thor was beginning to get angry but to himself. He vowed that no more future insults will go unnoticed and ignored. He will do something about it, even if it means other Asgardians hating him in the process.
