Frigga lead you out of you room and down another hallway. You listened as she gave you a history of the decorations you passed.
"Here we are dear." She motioned for the guards to open the door and lead you inside. You couldn't believe your eyes. The room before you was breathtaking. Countless fountains poured water into a central pool that drained into several smaller basins around the room. The air steamed around you and smelled pleasantly of floral fragrances and soap. Frigga noticed your awe and smiled fondly.
"Jane had the same reaction my dear, it appears you have nothing similar on Midguard." You nodded. A young woman came up to you and curtsied before Frigga.
"My queen how may I assist you?"
"Ah Niia, this is ( ), can you assist her please. I have a few things to check up on before the feast tonight."
"Yes, of course my queen."
"( ) I'll have Jane check in on you and help you prepare I just remembered I have something I must do."
"Ok thank you for everything." She left quickly and you were alone with the the woman. She smiled at you curiously.
"Hello, I am Niia, I was told that Prince Thor brought another Midguardian home with him."
"Um yes but it's not like that or anything."
"Of course not I didn't mean... I'm sorry"
"No it's fine, I just wanted to make sure people didn't think that was why I'm here..." You trailed off visibly embarrassed.
"Yes of course, this way please." She lead you across the room to an alcove. "You can undress here and I will prepare the bath for you."
"Oh thank you." When you had finished undressing you waited for her return. She can back carrying several pitchers and containers.
"Right this way miss ( )" You followed her, slightly embarrassed to be naked in public but there wasn't anyone in the room except you and Niia. "The water will adjust to whatever temperature you prefer automatically, but I'm sure you are used to that anyway." You shook your head no.
"There is nothing anywhere near this on Earth."
"Really, you don't have baths on Midguard?"
"We have baths but they are a lot smaller and private."
"There are those in the city in addition to the public baths."
"Interesting, if you don't mind my asking what are all these for for?" You motioned to the pitchers and bottles she had placed next to the baths.
"Bath oils of course you don't have those either?"
"Not so many."
"Well here, these are my favorite." She poured some into the water causing it to bubble and swirl. A soft floral scent filled the air and you felt your muscles begin to relax.
"Mnn, thank you this is amazing."
"I glad, I will get a towel for when you are done." She hurried off leaving you to relax. You closed your eyes and drifted through your thoughts in attempt to forget everything that was going on. You heard something from across the room but ignored it.
"The baths are very relaxing aren't they?" The familiar voice shocked you out of you relaxation.
"Jane, how are you?" She smiled.
"I am good." You nodded. She looked at you with concern. "Can the same be said about you
( )?"
"I am well." She left the subject be and continued.
"Frigga asked me to check on you."
"Yes, she said she would."
"Lady Jane." Niia appeared from around the corner carrying a towel.
"Hello Niia." The two women exchanged smiles and Niia held out the towel to you. You accepted it and stepped out of the bath. You quickly redressed and said goodbye to Niia. Jane lead you back through the maze of hallways to you room.
"Would you mind helping me for a minute Jane?"
"Of course what do you need?"
"I'm just not sure about this feast. How does one act?"
"Don't worry over it to much. They are quite fond of drinking at these parties and they don't remember a lot in the morning. Just act like yourself."
"Thank you Jane." She smiled. "We need to stick together. Is there anything else you need?"
"Directions, how do I get to the feast from here?"
"I'll send Thor to escort you."
"You don't have too."
"He actually already told Frigga he would."
"Thank you."
"Good luck ( )" She let herself out of your chambers and you watched the door close behind her. You knew you didn't have much time and began to get ready. The dress Frigga had picked for you fit perfectly. You didn't know how she had known you size. The dress was a green and gold floor length dress. It was beautiful. You found a pair of black heels to match and brushed out your hair over your shoulders. You heard a knock on the door and open it for Thor. He looked you over and frowned.
"Your missing something." You gave him a confused look as he walked passed you and towards the wardrobe. He opened a drawer and pulled a two gold bracelets out and held them out to you.
"A princess needs jewelry." You frowned.
"I thought fashion didn't matter?"
"I never said that."
"I believe you had that exact argument with Tony over you cape."
"My cape is fashionable here." You smiled knowing how much it irritated him when you made fun of his cape. "Are you ready?"
"Yes." He raised an eyebrow." "Would you be?"
"To have my marriage to my brother announced? No I'm not into that kind of thing."
"I'm serious."
"No, I would rather fight a thousand armies than take your place."
"Real reassuring." He lead you out of you room. You took deep breaths and tried to remain calm. You stopped when you reached the main hall.
"You can you this ( )"
"Okay I'm ready."
