The Lady's Request 3/9 hoc_et_quod September 5 2011, 21:02:11 UTC
It was late by the time Thor finally made his way to his chamber, but Sif had waited up. Thor came in looking tired, but perked up considerably when he saw her reclining on his bed. She smiled at him seductively and held out a beckoning hand only to let it drop when there was a knock at the door.

Sif sighed.

Thor frowned and called out, “Is it important?”

“Well...”came a hesitant response and Sif almost growled in frustration. It was Loki.

“Well?” Thor called back.

“It's just...” there was a pause. “I'mgettingmarriedtomorrowandthoughtyoushouldknow. Good night!”

“WHAT?”

Both of them were at the door in an instant yet Loki had managed to move quite a ways down the long hallway.

“Loki!”

Loki froze and looked back at them over his shoulder. “Ah, you're busy. I'll come back tomorrow.”

“Loki.”

Aside from occasionally barking out his name, Sif had never heard Thor raise his voice toward Loki since he had returned. There hadn't really been a reason to, as far as Thor was concerned. But Thor did have a tone that he used when he thought Loki was getting a bit out of hand. That was the tone he was using now. Loki evidently recognized it as he, without another word, shuffled into Thor's chambers and sat down, awaiting their questions.

“Now,” Thor began as he stood over Loki, crossing his arms. “I realize I'm tired and was rather distracted so surely I misheard you when you said you were getting married tomorrow.”

“No,” Loki replied. “You didn't mishear me.”

“Who?” Sif couldn't help but ask. Despite pretty much keeping his head down for the last ten years, there were very few people in Asgard who would suffer Loki presence and most of those only did so for Thor's benefit. Sif found that she had mixed feelings about him. There was just too many centuries of bad history between them for her to truly like him. But she had, over time, found his presence increasingly...less unpleasant. There were even some times when she didn't mind him at all.

Except when he interrupted her and Thor in the middle of the night.

“Lady Sigyn,” Loki replied.

Sif's eyebrow's shot up. “Lady Sigyn?” she and Thor both said, incredulously.

“Why are you marrying Lady Sigyn?” Thor asked.

“Because she wants to marry me and she didn't really give me a choice in the matter.”

Sif's eyes narrowed. There were many reasons why a man would be forced to take a wife but one sprung to the forefront of her mind. “Is she with child?”

Thor turned to her briefly, surprised, but then turned back to Loki. “Well, is she?”

Loki let out an exasperated sigh. “If she is, it isn't mine. I only met her an hour ago.”

Thor shook his head and began rubbing his temple. “An hour ago? Fine. Then it shouldn't take very long for you to start at the beginning and tell us exactly what happened.

Sif settled into a chair. This should be an interesting tale.
