The morning came quickly and you felt yourself dreading your next public appearance. A young girl arrived with a tray of breakfast food for you. The food was different from what you had on Earth but very good. She stood quietly and watched you eat. Her gaze was a bit unnerving.
"Would you like some?" You offered her the tray. She avoided your gaze.
"No thank you my lady."
"Are you sure? You look hungry."
"My lord does not allow me my lady."
"Then I give you permission." She seems genuinely surprised.
"( ), always trying to help others." The servant girl shies away at Thor's loud voice.
"Yes Thor, you fight battles and I try to be kind to everyone."
"Everyone?" He questioned with a smirk.
"Yes."
"Because I don't think Loki would agree." You glared at him.
"I slapped his image not him and... Wait how do you know that?" Thor avoided your question.
"So there is a lot to do today ( )"
"Thor, how did you know?"
"Fine, I control the armed guards overseeing my brother and Frigga monitors his magic usage. She informed me of your conversation"
"So you're spying on me."
"Not you, Loki." You glared at him angrily.
"The point is you were watching us."
"Us?"
"Yes, two people, us. Why is it that you are here Thor?"
"I came to escort you to breakfast."
"This isn't breakfast?" You motioned to the platter of food in front of you. Thor regarded it for the first time.
"We eat breakfast and dinner in the Great Hall. Loki is the only only who refuses to join us."
"Was this from Loki?" You questioned the girl.
"I'm not allowed to say my lady." She lowered her head.
"Okay, um I am done with this, thank you." She nodded, picked up the platter and exited the room. You finished pinning up your hair and followed Thor out of your room and towards the Grand Hall. Two guards stood at attention outside of Loki's room.
"Is he awake?" Thor questioned on of them.
"Yes my lord, he has been pacing since very early."
"I will see him." They opened the door and Thor motioned for you to wait outside. Through the door you could hear shouting and then something crashed. The guards threw open the door only for Thor to storm through and slam it.
"Ay fool, you never listen." He continued to fume.
"Is everything alright?" You asked startled by Thor's temper.
"Fine, everything is fine." You frowned.
"When a woman says fine she means the opposite, what is going on?"
"You need not worry about ( )."
"Worry about what?" Jane walked up behind you and placed a hand on your shoulder. "I see you have discovered my husbands daily routine."
"Routine?"
"Yes, everyday he tries to convince Loki to eat with us and everyday something gets broken and he gets angry." She smile a little.
"Fun routine."
"It seems amusing now but soon it will be your job to coerce him into attending family meals." The thought dampened you spirit a little and you fell silent.
"Let's not think about that now. I'm famished." You fell line behind Jane and took a seat next to her at the same large banquet table from the previous night. Less crowded now the Great Hall seemed overbearing and empty. Odin and Frigga had already begun eating when the three of you had arrived. Servants brought out plates for the three of you and served many different dishes for you. The mountain of food was something you could never finish but tried your best to not seem impolite.
"How are you liking Asgard ( )?" Frigga began small talk.
"Everything here is so very beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen anything so amazing in my entire life." She smiled.
"You must be eager to explore the palace and the city?"
"I'm afraid I would get myself horribly lost my queen."
"I'm sure you would be fine and please call me Frigga." You nodded in agreement. She turned towards Odin.
"Surely you will offer ( ) an escort so she may visit the city."
"Absolutely not, with the state of the realm and her position she will not be permitted to leave the grounds for any reason." Frigga seemed as upset as you were.
"She has done nothing to warrant this my love."
"I will not risk it! That is all that is to be said on the matter." The table fell into and awkward silence until Jane spoke up.
"I have the day free and would be willing to give you a tour of the palace ( )."
"I would like that very much." The meal was soon finished and the king and queen left the hall. Soon after Thor excused himself for an officers meeting and you were left alone with Jane.
"Don't look so down ( ), I've only visited the city once or twice. The king just wants to make sure you are safe."
"He wants his peace to be safe."
"Come on I'll bring you somewhere I know you will like."
