After meeting with her brother, gathering more of what she needed to furnish his room, she made her way to Loki's cell. After her late night visit, she made an agreement with him that they no longer need to bring up anything regarding her past. The only time he brought it up again was simply to ask her for the rest of the story, pointing out that she had left off a very important chapter, the chapter regarding her brother and why he was in prison. She promised that she will tell him when the time is right. But he knows her past, he knows more about her then anyone, and there is a part of her that is glad that he does. He seems to understand her in a deeper level now, and she finds that she is more comfortable around him, less guarded, and very free. And even now, he treats her very different then he does others. When it comes to the guards, he would simply ignore them, nod, or gesture with a wave of his hand to go away. But with her, he would put down whatever he was doing, so he can focus his attention on her. She told him tales from the many books she read, both from Midgard and from Asgard. She tried to incorporate stories with a strong female character, so as to enhance his low appreciation for the opposite sex. There was one from Midgard of a woman named Hua Mulan, another was a woman who actually lived, Joan of Arc. This seemed to work, as he no longer rolled his eyes or made sarcastic remarks about women.

The more she spent time together, the closer they become. As opposed to sitting a good distance away from each other before, they were now sitting closer and closer, becoming more comfortable with one another.

Now, Loki was leaned against the frame of the barrier, as close as he could get, with parchment and sketching charcoal in his hands. As Thor spent his younger days training and drinking, Loki spent his on different hobbies, one of which was drawing. Sigyn stood still as Loki expressed his wish for her to be his muse, "Were you successful in bringing more furniture to your brother?" He asked.

"Yes…" Sigyn smiled, "But he keeps requesting that his next piece be a woman."

"Smart man. Now, tilt your head up just a bit, my dear." He instructed.

"Perhaps I should find one, I convinced the guards and the warden for furniture, how much gold do you believe it would take to put my brother with a nice girl?" Sigyn asked jokingly, doing as she was told. "Do you wish me to find you a woman as well?"

"Please do." Loki smiled, continuing, "You do owe me, after all I've done for you."

Sigyn smiled, "Oh, pray tell, what are these things that you have supposedly done for me?" She asked.

Loki smirked, "I've allowed you to see me, tell me stories." He said.

This made her laugh, "Oh, such an honor! I'm sorry to have doubted you, these privilages you have bestowed upon me are far beyond my station! I do not deserve them." She teased back.

Loki smiled, looking up at her. He noticed that for a few seconds, he had stopped drawing and simply observed her. How lovely she was. He looked down, trying to capture her visage as best he could. Her soft pink lips, how her upper lip was slightly larger than her lower, and how that gave them a fuller, sensual look. He drew her dark eyes framed in thick black lashes, staring ahead, lost in a fantasy world perhaps. He found it adorable how she fidgeted, trying her best to stand still, but failing, and how she pouts slightly when he instructs her to move back into position. "Done." He said.

Sigyn exhaled, no longer needing to hold her breath. She turned and looked at the drawing, as he turned to show her. She smiled. It looked just like her, or rather, what she imagined her side profile looked like. It was very intricate and very detailed in certain parts like her lips and eyes, as if he spent the most time drawing those. "It's amazing! It looks lovely!"

"It's a reflection of you, of course it is nothing less than beautiful." He said, watching her reaction to it.

Sigyn looked up at him, blushing slightly when he said this. His emerald eyes stared back, examining her face. "May I do one more, my lady?" He asked, his voice softer than normal.

"Yes…" She allowed, "How would you like me to be?" She asked, shifting her dress to allow her to be in a better sitting position.

Loki sat up straighter, wishing he could reach out and gently place a hand on her chin to position her himself. "Look at me." He instructed.

The tone of his voice, and the command sent shivers down her spine, and she blushed at how she enjoyed the sensation. This brought a flush on her cheeks that warmed her features, making Loki wish that he had a full set of colors to capture it. She looked right at him, right into his eyes, not breaking eye contact. For a full moment, they stared at one another, and Sigyn was sure he would be able to hear her heart beat if he was close enough. Loki was forced to look back down at his blank paper to begin drawing. He'd look up to see her gentle eyes staring back, each time he did he felt something in his heart stir. To distract himself, he commanded a few more things from her, "Open your mouth slightly… Ever so slightly." He said, his velvet voice made it almost impossible for her not to do as she was told, so she obeyed, but not without blushing. "Good girl."

It was an unusual request, and a very sensual one! Most paintings or drawings that were made, the subject had their mouth closed. This was very…. Sensual. She felt an attraction to him… A very powerful one. Even now, she noticed that she was leaning more and more toward him, and that he was mirroring this as well, no longer leaning up against the wall as he drew.

She watched his face as he concentrated. His eyebrows knit together, trying to focus on his work, his eyes very calculating as his hand obeyed his mind's commands. When he looked up at her, their eyes met again. Every time they did, she would inhale, and it was if her body had forgotten the key motion of exhaling.
He looked up again, this time, he did not look back down to draw. He simply stared at her, and she stared back. He smiled, "You're beautiful…" He stated, sounding almost like he was in awe of her.
Sigyn blushed and looked down, "Thank you." She smiled back confidently, "If you're trying to beguile me, you should step no further. I'm too smart to be seduced by you." She stated.
"I know…" He smirked, looking into her eyes. "That's what I like about you…"
Sigyn's heart began beating faster at this. Why does he say these things? They confuse her and she isn't sure if he's joking with her or if he was serious. And if he was serious… If these feelings she felt were real… She had to bring herself back to reality. She had to remind herself who he was, and what he had done to people in Asgard and people in Midgard… But he was also kind and comforting to her… She immediately stood up, earning a look of confusion from the imprisoned prince. "I should be off.."
"Have I offended you?" He asked, sitting up.
"No… I just…. I need to go." She said, and before he could reply, she went off. He simply stared in confusion, even when she was out of sight. He reflected on what he said to her, perhaps he said something to offend her. When he found nothing, he simply sighed. His picture was unfinished, frowning at it. He continued on without her, with his ability he didn't even need her there at all. He practically memorized her, every gentle curve of her face, her delicate features. When he finished with that one, he took it, put it aside on the floor and started anew. He drew her in different angles, in different garnments in which he found were attractive on her, her long black hair decorated in white flowers, tied both up or let flowing down. He hadn't realized how much he drew until he finally looked up and saw the entire area around him was littered with pictures of her. Getting up, he change his garments to what he wore at night. He was tired. The sleepless nights would catch up with him some days, this was one of those days. Resting his head on his pillow, was in deep sleep within minutes.

Sigyn was in the palace libraries, her sanctuary, and a place she knew was at one point Loki's as well. She was searching for more books, she would read them in advance and tell Loki about it when she could. Her thoughts quickly shifted back to Loki, and she found herself blushing and smiling like a girl with a crush. She shook her head and tried to focus, continuing to look. 'Once you find a good book to read, you're going to go home and read.' She instructed herself. She needed to be familiar with a story before reciting the tale to her new friend.

Lady Frigga used her magical abilities to project herself into Loki's cell, a privilege only she held. She smiled when she saw that Loki was asleep. She approached his bed, and simply observed him. Despite his devious mind, he looked so peaceful in his sleep. She reflected on how he looked when he was a child, so mischevious, but in bedtime she would spend hours just stroking his raven hair as he slept. She reached out her hand, wishing she could do the very same thing now, but her hand phased through him, for she was only a projection, she could not physically touch him, "Sleep well, my son." She said, smiling as she got back up. She turned, ready to leave, but something caught her eyes. The floor was littered with drawings… Drawings of a beautiful young lady. She was knelt down, examining the drawings closer. After a moment's consideration, she withdrew her projection, orienting herself back to her room. Carefully, she made her way to grab a cloak, before heading out into the night.

Sigyn returned to her home, stopping at the market for food after going to the library. Of course, she didn't need to go to the market for food, her servants are at her beckon call to retrieve her anything she wishes. But she did her best to avoid her home as much as she could, only going there to sleep. She entered the foyer, but slowed when she saw a hooded figure standing waiting there for her. Before she could even ask who it was, the woman turned, and the words were caught in Sigyn's throat, "Q-queen Frigga!" She said in complete shock.

Frigga simply smiled at her gently, "My dear, no need to be frightened. You must be Sigyn…"

Sorry for not replying for a while! Been busy with work and school, but I'm back and I'll be updating more!
A reader by Cosima N posed a good question, when will my story align with that of the movie. It's coming close, all of this is happening AFTER the scene where Loki spoke to his mom in his cell in the movie, and the next scene that I'm going to bring from the movie is going to be the invasion of the Dark Elf army, so don't fret! I just want to develop Loki and Sigyn's relationship right now, and also bringing in some of Loki's mother! I hope you all like it so far! Leave reviews if you can and stay tuned!
