The princess spent most of her time in this room, she found. The entire castle felt strange to her and she was always somewhat on edge on account of her missing sister, Tarta. She would never show it, of course, but anyone who knew the princess well would have noticed that she was drinking a great deal more tea than usual. Until she knew more about this place, there was little she could do to help, and until she could do something to help, she would drink tea.

And so it was that when Loki arrived at the castle and accepted her offer of tea, Tatra was already on her second cup. There was always at least one serving person in the room although she had never asked them to be there. The princess asked one young man (his name was Joseph and he often came by to refill her pot) to find the newcomer and help him find his way here. He nodded enthusiastically and was off, quickly replaced by a young brunette Tatra knew as Caroline. She would often strike up conversation with the serving people until they became uncomfortable. It made her well-liked in the castle and helped her feel at home.

Comments

[sorcerous]

There was something rather reassuring about royalty and ritual, especially after the meeting with the King. An audience with Odin would never have been so informal -- no advisers chiming in, no amusement at the idea of a ruler's wisdom. Loki, now, feels he may be on more familiar ground.

The black, green, gold robes are not his own armor, but they are something of a protection nonetheless: becoming a wizard, filling a role in this world, those are things that will protect him. If he loses his godhood and stays for a time, blends himself into their folk and their lives, then Thor will not come hunting for him. Thor will not be able to find him. Thor will... perhaps, eventually, he will assume Loki dead.

After all: gods do not die so easily, but Loki is not Aesir, is he?

The serving man leads Loki through the halls and passages, and Loki makes careful note of the route. Compares it to his mental picture of the castle thus far, and is pleased to find that he knows where he is the entire time. He's always been a quick learner.

"Princess," he greets Tatra, with an incline of his head.
