If we move to the present, Loki is throwing rocks into the nearby lake. He woke up and left before Thor and his father could bother to speak to him. He wanted to be alone today; he assumed that was a simple enough request.
"I'm almost eighteen now, and yet I'm still not allowed to use my abilities?" He asked himself aloud and tossed another rock in.
"You know, you'll hurt the fish if you keep that up." Thor remarked. He had been watching his brother for a while now.
"I assumed you would have gotten the memo that I wanted to be left alone." Loki gabbed back, Thor was truly idiotic sometimes.
"I was worried about you." Thor responded, "I thought you gone for good when I woke." "
Where did you expect me to go? Jötun, like the monster I truly am?" Loki spat.
Thor walked up to Loki and looked into his eyes, "Loki, you know I care about you. My words were wrong last night, forgive me." Loki snorted at this and kept silent. Suddenly Thor pulled him into a hug and kissed his head, "Come back to the castle okay? So I can stop worrying about you."
Loki sighed and nodded, the whole ordeal was quite childish of both of them. He always felt safe when Thor was near. "Father told you to tell me that last night didn't he?" Thor nodded, "He said that you listened to me." Loki frowned, he didn't want father to think he hated him. "I just wish I got the same treatment as you." Thor nodded, "Let's talk to father about it, about everything. About how you and I feel about this battle we've been having." Loki smiled at him, "Alright, and thank you Thor. Oh… And I apologize for bringing Sif into that last night; she really didn't have anything to do with it." Thor rolled his eyes, "Make any comment you want about her, we're done." Loki laughed, his brother like to pretend he was a player, but really he was a kind hearted kid. "Now come on, before we do something else to make father mad." Loki nodded and they headed to their parents chamber.
