Bryn shifted in the box she called home now. It was brown and fairly large, with semi-sturdy construction. However, it had collapsed several times already and she had found things to increase its structural integrity. She also had attempted to make it more comfortable with dicarded blankets and pillows, but hadn't had much luck. Food was scarce, too. She had been digging through bins marked garbage, but all the food there was rothen and moldy. Not mention the stench from those bins. As she closed her eyes, she hoped that her brothers had fared better in their own exiles than her. All four of them had been banished after their little stunt in Jotunheim. They had no access to their Seidr, and if they tried it felt like a glass wall, but completely impenetrable. She shifted again. How long had it been? Her forehead creased as she counted the days. A week? Two? Probably two. She drifted off, thinking about her brothers and how they were faring.
Bryn woke to a bright light. She sat up quickly, already trying to find exits. There was a heavy metal door in an otherwise white room. The surface she had laid on was metal as well, with a bit of cushioning. She spotted cameras around the room. She stared right at one, even as the door opened to admit someone. She slowly turned to see Thor standing there with the biggest smile on his face, even though he was doing his best to hide it. She stared at him for a second, then slid off the bed. Thor's smile faltered. Bryn stood there, in a green tee and black capris, barefoot.
"Bryn? Do you not remember me?" Thor's smile was fully gone. He looked her over carefully, checking for injuries. His face was in between worried and confused. He looked back at her face.
"It was your fault. Why were the rest of us punished?" Bryn's voice was cold. She felt quite the opposite, though. She just didn't want to show weakness to a potential threat. Thor, however, had no such qualms.
"Bryn, you know the balance of Seidr would have been unbalanced-"
"That is no excuse. We are all royalty, even if half of us are Frost Giants."
"Father thought it best-"
"Odin had no reason to banish Balder, Loki and I." Thor fell silent. After a few heartbeats, he spoke again.
"I saved you from the bilgesnipe." In an instant, the cameras went down. Bryn swiftly crossed the short distance and flung her arms around Thor.
"You big oaf. Did Loki do it?"
"Yes. We have a few minutes." Bryn released the thunderer and stepped back.
"How are they, do you know?"
"Yes, you were the last. They found me first, nearly two weeks ago. Balder was next, on an island in the middle of the ocean. We found Loki two days ago, in a place called Siberia, and it was with his help that we found you." Bryn smiled. She had known Loki had been someplace cold up until a couple of days ago, and now she knew why. The door opened again, and Loki stepped in.
A wild update appeared! YAY FOR ME! I suck at updating, I really do. So obvioisly, there is a time jump. Yeah. Review? They, uh, I think they inspire me. I don't actually know. Hope you liked. I'm out.
