Odin took no care to acknowledge the glare that was thrown his way; he only held a firm look over the boy. His intentions obscure as ever, he calmly approached Loki looking down at him.

How fitting, Loki thought displeased and cautious as he caught the felony gaze of the other. Odin always made it obvious that he looked down on Loki physically and morally, but this new glint in his eye held something Loki did not wish to fathom for it only made him nauseous

"I sat out long dragging nights thinking and figuring up just the punishment for someone such as you. And weather you wish to deem it true or not, I have indeed paid my attentions to both you and Thor. Very close attention." Odin's tone almost threatening with the somber coolness to chill the air more than already was, it took Loki all he could not to flinch.

Aching shoulders folding forward with the weight of the words he spoke, Loki went quick to decipher the code behind it, knowing well that the words were nothing but title above true meaning. Clearing his throat with excused cough to follow through, he checked how much his vocals trembled before he tried again on speaking. He would pick these poisoned layered words back carefully. "As the one should show for the heir of his throne and those that mingle with said heir." eyes not focusing rather the eye, but the unfitting smile Odin choose to wear he couldn't help his growing glare as the smile went wider.

"I know you are one for hiding yourself and keeping to the shadows, but it is unfit to hide behind conversation from what you fear, I know you understand what I am saying." his ever so patient act only keeping up as he awaited for that twisted mind to reel, he only looked down with regal posture.

Loki put away the thought of weaving his way out of this and let his head rise higher, his jaw clenching swiftly before he let his other words reluctantly sprawl out. "What have you noticed?"

Odin let his knees curls to come eye level with Loki, smile darkening as he whispered the words out like a venom filled hiss. "Sentiment."

Loki's pupils went to dark thin pigments, Thor was still his pawn. He couldn't believe it, then again, he could. "You bastar-" he was cut off by the sudden knock of knuckles into his jaw which flung his head over more than he wished.

"Thor's love is not unseen Loki, he will carelessly remind others of so, and from what I saw on his face, it went well. You got the satisfaction of hurting him, it filled you to see his pain. Didn't it?"

Loki kept his head turned, defiantly so now as Odin spoke. True he had wanted to hurt Thor, but now that he understood, he wanted to just have Thor back here to embrace him.

"And there is all I need to know you still hold care for him as well. It pains you now doesn't it, to know you will be causing him pain daily by just taking the whippings he is ordered to do. That your very presence hurts him but you can do nothing of it. What is else is punishment than to squirm as you see your brother suffer because what he must do. To cause him tears just by shedding your blood for him, because of him. His pain will be easy, his protection for you is strong, but now that he is the one beating you down, this punishment should follow through with what I hoped. It will serve its purpose well."

Loki was finally able to find it in his infuriated system to speak again. "I understand using me, but Thor, you golden child, your true and only son, I didn't think you would sink so low as to use him! What's worse is he is no relic to you! He is just a pawn in this game you intend to win.." he took a few disbelieved gasp to get air back into his crushed lungs. "You don't care, you're just a heartless bastard!"

"Your punishment is worth it. Actually, you should be happy, for you are finally worth something; you can finally make Thor pay the way I know you wish, odd how much help paying attention is isn't it?" Odin was done with his talking now, but he would warn, this punishment would not be ending anytime soon. "If you dare tell Thor of any of this, you will think this punishment but mercy compared to what I will do. Now be a good so I don't have to put a muzzle over that mouth again, your silver tongue did all the more aid to put this in motion if I am correct. Don't want to take away an asset of my plan. Do not try and test me either."

Loki let his head shake away his denial as tears threaten once more without his command, but he swallowed them back as he kept his gaze away from Odin. He was stricken speechless and fearful to try and call his bluff and end Thor's suffering next chance he got. He hadn't even thought the idea that Odin would sink so low, but he had, who was to say he wouldn't go lower just to make him pay. His mind running miles fast he was able to engender one thought aloud. "Why?" it was more shaken then he liked but he got it out.

"Because it's what you deserve" the cold words his only reply, Odin lifted himself back to be his full stature once more, bringing Loki to his own feet as well with little care of his body before he let his adorned hand clench into a fist and begin to make assaults on the wiry frame.

Loki couldn't help the first surprised shout of pain that was torn from his lips at the first contact of the cold metal of rings scraping his skin open and leaving with force that let the flesh swell. As if his lashed back acting on cue, began to sizzle with its burns along with the many thrown fist into his body to make it all swell with pain in many different variations that he could not conduct to his control. It was too much and last thing he saw was a curled fingers and crested ring going for his face before he lost it all and fell into the black ribbons, slipping unconscious.
