As they talked, they slowly shifted from standing, to sitting with their backs against each other, to lying down with their hands laced together.

On the other end of the castle, Odin was talking with his eldest son. "You saw how they looked at each other."

"Yes, isn't it great! Loki finally found someone, who would've thought, he's always so quiet."

"I am well aware of this. But Thor, as future king you have certain responsibilities."

"Yes of course, protect the kingdom and such."

"Yes, but there are others things, such as producing an heir."

"Father I-"

"Now listen, being king is not all fun and games, it's hardly that at all. You will have to mature before you can take the throne, and you can't keep up these childish games of seeking out both maidens and battles. There must be someone you have at least some interest in?"

"Well..." Thor blushed, not wanting to admit who it was.

"You need not tell me now, just see to it that you two get together soon."

"Yes father," What brought that up? Oh well, Thor thought as he went to find Zohara. (:O) She was quite a prize, with her curves in just the right places, her bold attitude, her face wasn't half bad either, he could see why even Loki liked her. But he'd had his fun, now it's my turn.

Loki had to go attend to some things, "Probably just my mother wanting to ask about, well, us..." he said.

"That's fine. I'll just head back to my room."

He took her hand and brushed his lips against her knuckles, "I'll see you later, I presume?"

"Definitely," she smiled and kissed his cheek. They went their separate ways for now. Now which way was my room again? Celeste groaned a bit and leaned back against a wall, rubbing her temples and started mumbling to herself directions, "Ok so the dining room is that way so if I take a left, no a right! Then I should pass the library and if I take a left then I'll-"

"Ah, Zohara!" the ever arrogant God of Thunder called from down the hall.

"Hi, Thor," she said, Should I ask him? No, he probably doesn't know, or care.

"So, are you getting settled in Asgard?" he asked nicely.

"Uh yeah, but um, I still can't figure out where my room is," she admitted.

"Really? Well I could show you but I thought maybe you'd like to see something more interesting."

"Interesting?" She thought back to when she said the some words to Loki, "Such as?"

"Well, anything, I could show you some of the most amazing things Asgard has to offer."

"Like?" Celeste pressed further, It's like I'm talking to his hammer!

"Well, myself for one thing," Here we go again she rolled her eyes but Thor didn't notice, "You know, given my status and prowess, not many have spoken to me the way you did the other day, calling me off like that." He placed his arm on the wall beside her and her eyes widened a bit, "But with a woman as attractive as yourself, I found it rather arousing," he whispered the last part, looking straight into her eyes, craving eminent in his own. Crap! "What do you say we go somewhere a bit more private?" he whispered in her ear.

"Uh, no," she said rather bluntly, catching the gods attention even more.

"I'm sure you don't understand what I'm offering. I-"

"I know what you're offering, and it's still a 'no.'"

"Oh, come on, you don't have to pretend nobody's around," he tilted her chin up to him. She's a fighter, I like that.

"Get your filthy paws off her!" Loki shouted from the other end of the hall, using his magic to throw the mighty Thor against the other wall. Loki teleported to Celeste's side, standing in front of her protectively. "You insufferable brute!" he stood before his brother, his hands glowing with magic that quickly turned to flames as his anger increased, "You have crossed a line brother," the furious brother sneered.

"Brother, you misunderstand. I am only following father's orders," Thor tried to play this off, not knowing how to respond to his brothers anger, given he was constantly indifferent.

"What‽" Loki's eyes filled with more anger than thought possible and the ground shook at his outburst.

"He wanted me to find someone I'm attracted to and get together with them."

"Celeste. Is. Mine!" his word shot acid.

"Loki?" her angelic voice sang in his ears, she wasn't sure what to do, but she didn't want Loki getting in trouble.

"Get out of my sight," Loki said through grit teeth turning to face his darling Celeste, not paying attention to his brothers departure. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you at all?"

"No, I'm fine, just a bit shaken up."

"Are you certain?"

"Yes, I'm fine," she assured him.

"That dimwitted, arrogant, grr!"

"Hey, he's gone now, it's over."

"I suppose so."

Thor left, confused that someone would reject his advances. But she was with Loki so there was nothing he could do. The Mighty Thor does not dwell on such things! he thought, I shall find another woman, easy! Just as he thought that he spotted Lady Sif, Perfect!

Odin never found out about that little incident, and all three parties were glad for it.
