Guards ran into the room and slammed it open. A dark elf was laying on the floor missing an arm and the Prince was slumping against. the wall holding his head with one hand as the dizziness wouldn't leave him and he saw close to falling.
The guards ran and captured the elf and took him away a second later. Laufey came running in and carefully lift up Loki who clung to him trying to shake the dizziness off.
"Are you hurt?" Laufey asked search him for any signs.
"Everything is spinning... I wish to lay down."
"I will return you to your room."
when they got to the room Laufey laid Loki down and although being still his son seemed to still be suffering from dizziness. frowning he rub his back for a while thinking on what to do next.
Odin was trying to get Loki back for some reason. However Laufey was never going to let that happen. The All Father would not get everything he wanted.
Loki rolled over. "I'm well now. Just over used my magic."
"Court was cut short but it was not important . Are you well enough to be washed and dressed?"
A soft groan left Loki. "A bath sounds wonderful."
"I have them bring you one."
That surprised Loki. "Bring me one? Is there not a bathing pool?"
Laufey snorted. "No. Private baths for each... Hm... You might call it a pool for your size."
"Do you mock me?" Loki asked slightly hurt in his voice.
"No! I just do not want you to drown. Come I have an idea."
They went to the royal chambers where servants placed new furniture inside. Loki noticed that dressers which Fra-... Father ... talked about. inwardly he sighted. no use denying it now.
They entered the bathroom and Loki looked at awe at the bath tub. Laufey set him on the sink and turned on the water and Loki turned to wander on the sink.
It was amazingly crafted with silver and moon dust. Who knew Jotun had so much moon dust? Touching it Loki wondered how they ft moon dust since in Asgard it was so hard to get it since it was so rare. Even the light Elves couldn't get this much.
Laufey stopped the water hoping it wasn't to high for his small son. Turning he paused wondering just what in the nine realms Loki was doing. Getting closer he saw Loki was trying to pull the handle off the sink.
"Did you wish to bath in the sink?"
"There is moon dust in the handle." Loki said grunting slightly. "I want it."
Picking up his son who protested. "We have plenty. I shall get you a bottle large than you of you wish."
"You would? what must I do in return?"
Laufey set his son down so he could undress. "It is a gift. Even if it was not and is something you needed or wished to have, why would you ask if you would have to do something in return? "
Loki shrugged taking off his clothes and letting Laufey set him in the large bath. It was wonderful and came to his shoulders so he sank down so he was covered in the warm water. Coming back up he moaned softly as his body relaxed.
Laufey got to and walked to the side and pulled a small wash towel out and reached over to the bath and smiled when he felt the tug taking it. Grabbing some oil soaps he added them in before leaving the room to let his son bath alone.
Going to the new work desk Laufey thought he should at least get some work done. A few times he could hear the water moving.
When a door opened Loki sat up a little. He could hear his Jotun parents talking. Curious Loki wrapped the wet towel he had been scrubbing himself with and. climbed to the edge of tube to see what was going on.
"Your back early." Laufey said. "Did Helbindi kick you out of training the troops again?"
"Yes. But truth be told I did it on purpose this time." Farbauti smirked.
"And why is that?" Laufey asked "I'm not in the mood for whatever you are planning, love."
"Ah, but how can you been in the mood for something you know not of?"
It amused Loki when Laufey growled but Farbauti waved his hand.
"Now than I know that the feast has been postponed until Loki is well enough to handle regular food but I was thinking that we should take him to the towns."
"Not yet." Laufey said calmly. "Nothing to soon."
"Are you afraid he is too weak?"
Loki frowned. he was not weak! just getting over shock... and blue skin.
"No. You forget the spell that Odin placed on him is dangerous here. I rather he not die."
"I shall be with him." Farbauti said leaning back confidence all over him as he smiled.
"Mm-hm... Like when Helbindi was little?"
"Lose your son once and his mother never gets over it."
Loki had to place his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing.
"He had just learned to walk!"
"I found him!" Farbauti countered.
"Two hours later!"
"And he was having so much fun with that elf too."
"Helbindi was using him as a toy. throwing the fool around like a doll."
"Yes, well... So may I take him or not?"
"No."
"I shall prepare the beasts at once."
"I said no!"
Loki watched the scene taking Farbauti in the way they interacted. Laufey was more serious, slightly angered, and frustrated. Farbauti was amused, and seemed to be have a good time bothering Laufey.
Than something he didn't expect. They kissed. Right out of nowhere and Loki didn't know what to do. When Odin and Frigga fought they didn't speak for months and here these two didn't let a petty argument come between them as easily.
It was when Farbauti started to get carried away did Loki kick his feet making the water splash. They parted slowly as Farbauti took notice of his son and grinned.
Loki was wondering why he wasn't shocked about being caught.
"I did not know you were in here son!" The Jotun laughed.
Loki was a little shocked when Farbauti came over and grabbed a towel and wrapped him up before taking him to the bed. Laufey took over in drying him off as Farbauti talked.
"You would enjoy time around the towns. Everyone is excited about your return."
Laufey dried the black hair. "You are not taking him, Farbauti I already told you so."
"It will be fun, come on now." He brought over the costume made clothes. "You could use a break as well."
"There is too much to do."
They continued and Loki dressed and settled down to watch them continue their conversation on weather or not Loki could or couldn't go to the towns.
Thor became frustrated trying to figure out how to make 'Phone ' work. Tapping furiously at the thing it broke and he groaned. This was the fifth phone Shield had given him.
Tossing it he looked over at the Son of Rogers. He seemed to be having a little more luck than he was having.
The door opened and a man holding a cup came in. "So this is Assembly? Hey, Cap, and Goldie Locks."
"You are mistaken, I am Thor the God of Thunder."
"Knock it off, Stark." Steve said putting his phone away. "What took you so long?"
"I was grabbing a drink."
"For three hours?"
"There might have been something else." Tony wiggle his eyebrows.
There was. a crunching sound and Thor tossed out the sixth phone. "Damn mortal technology."
"Whoa, I take offense to that." Tony grabbed his heart. "Those are my babies."
Thor looked at the last remaining phone in shock. "You birthed these?!"
"Why yes I did."
"Stark, leave him alone."
"Alright. Blueberry?"
"Ah, how I've missed this." Farbauti said with an air reminiscing in his voice. "Don't you agree?"
"Yes, now sleep." Laufey said trying to fall a sleep and ignoring his mate. "Tis late."
"Yes. It has been centuries. Why did we not have another child?"
"Sleep."
"We should have had more."
Laufey groaned and rolled over facing away from him trying to get sleep. He was tired from the day. It wasn't really time to join the ide talk. Sleep almost had him when a whine made him jump up and shove Farbauti off the bed.
"Watch where you roll over fool!" Laufey scooped up a confused Loki who was wondering what just happen. "You could have crushed him!"
"It wasn't me!" Farbauti got up. "I heard him whining so I leaned down to check when you knocked me off the bed."
Laufey looked down to see Loki had gone right back to sleep.
Both he and his mate had returned to their chambers they found Loki curled up in the middle of their bed wrapped up partly in the sheets and blankets, only his head on the white pillow.
Instead of waking Loki or returning to him to his room they let him stay, choosing sleep on their own sides.
"Another dream perhaps?" Farbauti spoke his voice low and serious.
"They have been coming more often."
"What do you think it could be?" Farbauti rubbed his son's back.
"I do not know. However when I find out who harmed him they will pay."
Loki took a sip of his drink and picked up his fork and ate the newly added vegetables. They were good and his manage to keep them down. Setting the fork down he picked up spoon and ate the mush. As he thought it was embarrassing his family thought it was great that he wouldn't starve to death.
They ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together. In Asgard he could barely remember the last time he ate with the Odin Family.
Pushing that thought aside Loki took another drink. The others talked about what the day plans were. To Loki's surprise they often added him into the conversation which the small Jotun only answered with yes or no for the first two weeks and slowly spoke more.
"Ah, yes ... Loki I found you a highly recommended teacher. He will give you what you need to know."
An hour later the teacher had run out of the palace screaming his head off and they found Loki giggling on the floor holding his stomach trying to control his laughter.
When his spotted his Father and Bera Loki jumped and backed away as if ready to be beaten.
It was dawning more on Laufey that Loki's ways were often punished. Farbauti walked forward and frowned trying to keep his anger down when Loki flinched away.
The small Jotun went stiff when he picked him up and Frabuti stood looking around the room.
"What happened herd?" Laufey asked.
"...I cast an illusion and he thought it was real."
"Show us." Farbauti said.
Casting the spell Loki looked worried but again he was surprised when they laughed loudly.
"Tis no wonder he ran off." Laufey took Liking petting his head. "I am proud to have a son who holds such skills."
"... Proud ...?"
"Of course!" Farbauti said.
"Come Loki once we are done with Court we shall celebrate."
"Why are you not mad at me?"
Laufey shook his head. "Your teacher is unharmed and you didn't scare him off on purpose."
Smiling Loki climbed onto his shoulder. "May I go with you? To see what it's like?"
"Of course."
Thor tossed his hammer up and down. It had been three months since he had learned to be humble and realize how rash and brutish he had been, arrogant, rude, selfish ... and worst of all how uncaring towards his brother.
How he missed Loki. He really could care less about Loki being a Jotun. It made sense now though how the cold rarely felt the cold, his ability to use ice magic the best, why he often waited for his food to cool as much as possible before eating it.
Snorting Thor frowned deeply. Their Father knew what Loki was and still scolded Loki when he would eat the food the way it was when served. Thinking about it Maybe that's why Loki ate so little.
"Thor!"
Looking over he saw the group of mortals standing there. "What is it?"
"There going to start bulldozing the forest!"
"Nay! For I will not allow it!" Thor went to help.
Loki lazily laid over Laufey's shoulder. It had been a week since he was allowed to attend the court and Loki enjoyed it. Mostly because the bonding. Now however he felt like reading so he slid off to sit next to Laufey and hide in his robe.
Laufey had explained it would take a while to bond since he wasn't a baby but it was a strange, comforting feeling so Loki didn't mind. however he sometimes sat next to his Bera.
Helbindi had told him that was what they called the one's who bore them. Since Laufey had in fact carried and bore him than Loki should call him Bera and Frabuti was simply Father.
The doors open as Loki was sitting next to Laufey reading a much to large book for him. It was a children's book but of have him the basics to learn how to read Jotun spells. The only thing that was showing was his hands. After all he was small enough to sit cross legged and was well hidden by Bera's robe.
"Your majesty," Said an all to familiar voice. "I have come see if we can obtain some moon dust. In return we shall forge you a weapon."
Closing his book Loki set it aside and peeked out. Ah, he knew it. The crummy little dwarf the had his lips sewn shut. Just the memory made him furious. The little fool who tricked the Trickster and in the end got tricked. Still Loki had no intention on little that dwarf get out of there any moon dust.
Standing Loki climbed onto Laufey's lap and sat there starting straight at him. The dwarf seemed shocked to see a Jotun runt.
Loki settled back against the King. "Bera?"
"Yes?"
"I do not think he should have any moon dust. He's crafty and you not get what you bargain for."
"Explain."
"He once crafted such things for me and i. the end he had my lips sewn shut."
Anger murmuring erupted through the court and the royal family glared dangerously at the dwarf who sputtered.
"I have not done anything! I did not even know you had a third son."
"Oh I think you remember me... I am Loki. Or did you forgot me after the burning needing pulled the let cord through my lips?"
Brokkr gasped. "Loki Odinson?!"
There was a dead silence and the next words that came out shocked everyone, including Odin who was just arriving with Frigga to the court.
"I am Laufeyson."
To SETO-KAIBA-LIFE: Nope, Loki is perfectly fine. ,) We'll have to see just what he will do now.
To onlymydreams: Here's more :D
To anastacianott: Thank you
To fan-girl-666: I was actully thinking of adding them in on the next chapter but first I wanted to get a little more bonding in with the Jotun family, which I did here. I will add in the three kids but I'm not sure about all of them yet. I'll have to think about it more, but most likely yes.
To jaquelinelittle: I figure since Loki was so different from the others in Asgard most of the time the normal things he would so was considered bad.
