4. The Jotun Side

Violet probably should have been concerned that she hadn't seen hide nor hair of Loki in four days, but she wasn't in the slightest. Instead of roaming around and tending to whatever whim he decided she should act on, she was able to lounge across the couch with her cat and her propped up foot as her toe was only half way healed.

"Ollie, I'm back from wo- holy cow, its freezing in here!" Violet exclaimed, wrapping her jacket tighter around herself. It was the middle of November and she was positive she had left her heat on. Looking at the thermostat on the wall, Vi was shocked to see that the inside of the apartment was 20 degrees and still dropping.

"What on earth is going on…?" Violet muttered, wrapping the blanket from the couch around herself to investigate the place better. She was shocked to see the guest room door open, where it had been shut when she left.

"Hello?" Violet called into the room, "Ollie?"

"Go away," a voice growled.

"Loki? Is that you?"

"Leave now, Violet," he ordered. Violet could see him huddled in the far corner of the room, thanks to the light from the hallway.

"Lo, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Where have you been? Are those icicles on my ceiling?!" Violet inched farther into the room.

"Go now," Loki snarled, "before I hurt you."

"Something is wrong and I won't go away until I know what so I can help you."

Vi heard a roar before an icy wind knocked her violently against the wall. She slid down, clutching the back of her head.

"Ow ow ow," she muttered to herself quietly.

"You stubborn foolish woman," she could vaguely feel cold fingers pressing and prodding on her scalp.

"I feel like I should take a nap…" Violet could feel a darkness creeping along the edges of her conciseness.

"Do not dare to do such a thing," Loki growled. Violet looked up at him and blinked rapidly.

"Lo, why are you blue?"

"I will explain once I have assured myself you are not seriously injured."

Violet waited as he poked around for another few minutes, trying to ignore how cold he made the around her and how cold his fingers really were. Finally he sighed in relief.

"You will be fine, now would you prefer to take a short rest or have me explain now?"

"Explain please,"

"I got wind of a sorceress causing havoc in this realm. My battle with her drained my magic, my glamour with it, leaving me in my natural state," Loki said quickly and quietly.

"So this is what you look like as a Frost Giant?" Vi asked, taking in the ridged, deep blue skin and the unnerving red eyes.

"It is. Can you see why I hide it so? Why I am so ashamed?"

"Not really. I mean, you're still you just a different color and a bit colder" Violet said sleepily.

"You are delirious. I am a monster."

"Monsters don't tell people to move and then make sure the one too stupid to listen is okay. Monsters don't play with cats or make people dinner or have movie marathons with people. Monsters don't care. You, Loki Laufeyson, care quite a hell of a lot more than you would ever admit but I can see it."

Violet drifted off to sleep, leaving an astonished Loki to ponder her words and to make sure it a proper temperature when she woke up.
