Chapter 11

Loki walks over to one of the cots and he sat down next to Dalia then he took his little sister's hand. He looks at their elder brother, "Thor, why did you help our little sister? I thought you hated her?" Loki asked.

"Well I don't wish her dead." Thor mumbled.

"Then why are you so mean to her?" Loki asked.

Thor sighed, "She is little. We are not." Loki glared at his brother, "Thor, if my hand wasn't broken I would punch you again for saying that about our little sister. For norns sake Thor she is only two-years old. Before Thor could say anything Eir walks over to the cot were Loki and Dalia are sitting. "How is your hand feeling prince Loki?" Eir asked. Loki frowned, "I will be fine. Dalia how ever may need your assistance."

"Alright let's see what happened." Eir said in a soothing tone.

"I fell down." Dalia said.

"Oh, my dear…that just won't do now will it." Eir said. Dalia just shook her little head.

"Now now sweet heart. Dry those little eyes and be brave now." She asked cleaning up the little scraps on her knees with a soft cloth.

"Laowki, hold me please." Dalia begged. Loki used his free arm to hold her close, "It will be alright!" He encouraged. Tears streamed down her little cheeks.

Eir tutted, "Now my little one. See? It's already over. Your little knees are no worse for wear!" She set a gentle hand down on her knee.

"There's my two brave babies. Are you already to go on a picnic? Frigga asked as she walked up. Dalia pushed off Loki's lap and ran to mother. "Dalia, slow down you don't want to trip again. Thor said as he helps Loki off the cot. They walk over to their mother and little sister. Dalia slowed down just a touch she reaches her mommy and she wraps her arms around her mommy's knees smiling up at her mother.

Frigga picks up her little girl the boys stood at her side. "Laowki, are you okay?" Dalia asked. Loki looks at his little sister and he sees that she looks worried. "Don't worry about me Dalia I am fine." He said. She squinted her eyes and then nodded. "Alllwite Laowki." She nodded again. Then they left the healing room and they headed to the garden. Dalia was ready to see what yummy treasure her mommy had in that basket. They sat down on the blanket. Frigga opens the basket and she starts pulling out the food and the drinks.
