Avalyne had been doing her chores patiently everyday, without any complaint, she was used to the others servants teasing by now. She missed the sight of her Loki, she had only seen him up close for one day. Frigga's birthday arrived and every servant was released from their usual chores, because they had to make the preparations for the celebration. Avalyne stood up slowly, she wasn't in the mood for this work, it was very tiresome. She was already tired and worn by doing the chores on her long list for a month. Some part of her had hoped that Loki would come and release her from her chores and make her his personal chambermaid. She then soon realized that that was impossible, because she had only served Loki for one day, he wouldn't miss her.
Avalyne looked trough her closet and decided to settle for a simple light green dress. She loved the color green and who knows, maybe she'll bump into Loki. Yeah, cause he sure loves to come out of his room all the time. Stop daydreaming Avalyne. She gave herself a bump to the head and shook the thought away. Loki would only come out of his room when the celebration would start, not when the preparations were being done. She would see Thor, but he wasn't the prince she wanted to see. Her prince was one cloaked in green with a trickster smile that could make her insides melt at the mere sight of it.
She combed her hair and put the dress on. It was simple light green, with hints of black. The lace in the front went from the top to the middle of her dress. The lace strung her into the dress and made it so that she could make the dress tighter of looser. It started right underneath her breasts and the end of the lace hang in a simple bow. The dress had long sleeves that went wider from the elbow so that she could move her arms properly. It fell down elegantly from her waist to just a few centimeters above the ground. It accentuated her behind a bit and dipped down slight after it. The top part was open on the shoulders and showed a little bit of cleavage but not to much.
It was a dress she wore when she knew that the was a celebration, it was nice and beautiful. It made her look less like a servant, she stood out from the other servants because of it, but she didn't mind it. At least she wouldn't be smacked on the behind all the time, because she looked like a downright bar wench. Many other servants put on dresses that left not much to the imagination and showed of to much behind and breasts. Avalyne wasn't the type for that, she thought those kind of dresses should only be worn when in the presence of your lover.
Avalyne grabbed the sides of her hair and pulled them from her face and put them into a braid at the back of her head, putting a green ribbon to weave it's path between the braid. The braid started at each side of her head and joined together to become one big braid and ended just above her behind. She put a green ribbon at both sides of her head and let one ribbon weave trough the braid while the other ribbon was made into a small bow, that let the ribbon fall down next to her hair. She let the rest of her hair normal letting it hang down straight to just above her behind. She had long hair, because that was normal her in Asgard and also because she knew how much Loki preferred woman with long hair.
Now that she looked at herself, she noticed just how much she had changed about herself to fit to Loki's likings. She wore his color in her dress and her bracelet. Her hair was green and so were her eyes. Her hair and eyes were natural, but everything else she did on purpose. Maybe some people would think that she was a suitor for Loki, how nice that would be. Get out of it Avalyne, you're a servant people will notice that you're serving drinks and not dancing and gossiping like the other women. It had been a nice thought but a short lived one, just like her day of serving Loki had been. It seemed that no nice things lasted long for her, not even once. But that was the live of a servant, no nice things only working all day long.
Avalyne looked herself over one last time in the mirror and walked out to the servant dinning hall. Her friend already left, cause she wanted to stay near Thor, so that meant that she had to stand up early. Avalyne didn't have this problem, cause no one wanted to serve Loki, so it was given out as a remainder task, one she would eagerly take. Just as expected when she arrived the hand maid looked at her relieved and assigned her to the task of serving prince Loki that evening. That was the nice thing about being in love with someone who the others didn't like, she always got to serve him at feasts if he would be present. There had been feasts when Loki didn't come because it weren't feasts to his liking.
Tonight would be the celebration of Frigga, his mother. Although their relationship had become strained, cause she didn't visit him anymore, he still cared for her a lot and would show up to the party. Avalyne was sure of it, she knew her Loki, she had watched him and knew this to be true. If there was one thing she could count on, it was Loki's affection for his mother Frigga. He had been angry at her, when she decided to stick by Odin's side in some matters and not his. This had lead to the current silence between them, maybe tonight they could reconcile. Talk to each other again, so that Loki would no longer be so lonely. Thor visiting him, wasn't a thing Loki seemed to Loki. probably cause he only talked about his battles. The man talked so loud that Avalyne could hear him when she was cleaning another room nearby Loki's room.
It appeared that Thor was incapable of talking with a normal voice like other people. His whispering was at the volume a normal person would talk. Poor Loki having to suffer Thor's hard voice, she wished that she could make a spell that made it so that Thor would talk at a normal volume. She already knew that Loki had tried to make such a spell, but it never was a permanent one. It would be for the greater good of all of Asgard if Thor wouldn't talk so loud. One time the idiot whispered in his volume how he thought an ambassador of another realm looked ugly. The ambassador and everyone present had heard him and it almost started a war, but Loki intervened and used his silver tongue on the situation and everyone calmed down.
Loki had saved Thor numerous times and never got as much as a thank you. Avalyne had wanted to hit the man with something every time he took Loki for granted. When Loki was gone, there no longer was anyone to help Thor and it was then that he had realized how much he had needed his brother with everything. It had been a sad sight to see, to see him finally realize how much his brother had meant to him. When Thor went to Midgard to retrieve Loki he had been hopeful, but when he came back with Loki in cuffs it was clear that Loki wasn't the same anymore.
Avalyne had been crushed at the sights of Loki in chains, with that horrendous nuzzle on, standing in front of the Alfather who crushed Loki. Now was not the time to think of such sad things, get yourself together Avalyne and start making the preparations for the celebration.
Loki woke up early as usual and bathed for a long time, the celebration was tonight and he had to look perfect for his mother. He wanted to walk things over with her and reconcile with her, he missed her. It was time to stop hating her for everything and talk to her again and have his mother back. Loki got out of the water, dried himself with a towel and walked to his closet. His meal arrived when he was walking around in his room with a towel on, the maid had an even more frightened look than normal and scurried away even faster. How he would have loved if it had been the servant who liked him, now that would have been a fun game to play.
He imagined how he could tease her by making her pick a book up next to him, so she would be close to him, how she would stare at his body, until he would cough. She would snap out of her daze and apologize with a blush on her cheeks. He wondered what her face would look like with such a blush on it, he imagined it would look a lot like a rose blooming. Fascinating and a rare thing to see. Loki's mind had gone to the servant with green hairs several times the last month. He secretly hoped that he would see her at the celebration.
She would most likely be wearing a dress in his color, Loki chuckled at this, the woman was so predictable. He wondered what more she would be wearing in his color, he hoped that she would style everything in his color, maybe others would think that she was his suitor. No, she was a servant, such a thing could never happen. People would noticed that she was a servant as soon as she walked around with a golden tray with drinks, instead of dancing and gossiping to others. Loki certainly liked the idea of having a dance with his not so secret admirer. He had walked around trough the servants dining hall with a cloaking spell and found out that the servant had quit the obsession for him.
He discovered that her name was Avalyne, her name suited her beauty. She had always asked to do the servings for him, begged even on several occasions. She refused to serve Thor, while other servants would fight to serve him. Again this proved to his earlier conclusion that she had no interest in his oafish brother and only in him. The woman had nagged of the head of the head maid to serve him in his chambers, when she reached the right age. The woman had gone trough so much trouble to be able to serve him and he had ruined it.
He heard from the other servants how they had punished her, by giving her a long list of chores. Loki had spied on her several times, but never found himself capable of doing anything about her chores. He could make her his personal chambermaid, but he barely knew her and so far she hadn't proven to him that she would be up for the task. He needed to find a way to make sure she would serve him again, the easiest thing to do, was to tell the head maid that the other servants kept bringing him the wrong books and that only the one with the green hair had brought him the right ones. That way the head maid would make her list shorter, so that the woman could once again serve him in his chambers, it seemed this plan would have to be executed this night.
Loki clothed himself in a simple tunic and slacks and started reading, he did this the whole day, until it had become time for the celebration to start. Loki used his magic and his formal attire appeared, his mother would certainly like this, she always was a person for the etiquette. Maybe he would catch the eye of the green haired servant, Avalyne. Loki walked to the main hall, feeling a little bit of anticipation about seeing her and what she would look like. He was sure she would look beautiful, but he wondered how much green she would be wearing.
