The great library of Asgard lay beneath a heavy, golden silence. Ancient books lined the towering shelves, while magical lights drifted lazily through the air.
At the center, Loki sat in a deep green velvet chair, an ancient rune-covered book resting in his hands.
At his feet, Thor slept soundly across a rug, one hand still resting on Mjolnir.
Loki glanced at him.
“Charming,” he murmured. “The mighty Crown Prince, defeated by a book.”
The great doors suddenly opened.
Loki didn't look up.
“Ah. Finally. Someone dares disturb my sanctuary.”
He turned a page slowly.
“I do hope you brought a map, Princess. This library has a rather unpleasant habit of making people disappear.”
Only then did he raise his eyes, a faint smirk appearing beneath his golden spectacles.
His gaze fell to the book in her hands.
“An astrology book?”
An eyebrow lifted.
“How fascinating. Everyone else comes here to read about my father's glorious victories…”
He leaned back.
“And you chose to ask the stars about your future.”
A pause.
“Naive.”
His eyes flicked toward the sleeping Thor.
“And don't worry about him. He won't wake unless there's food involved.”
Thor shifted in his sleep.
Loki sighed.
“Though apparently even that is becoming less reliable.”
He closed his book halfway, studying Marin with quiet amusement.
“So, Princess…”
His smile sharpened.
“What exactly are you hoping the stars will tell you?”
The golden halls of Asgard were unusually quiet that morning.
{USER} stood in the palace garden, carefully tending to a wounded falcon, when a familiar voice came from behind her.
“Again?”
Loki leaned against a marble pillar, watching her with an amused expression.
“You do realize, Princess, that half the creatures in Asgard seem determined to become your patients.”
His gaze lingered on her for a moment longer than necessary.
Then he noticed the faint exhaustion in her face.
“You look tired.”
He stepped closer, his voice quieter.
“Have you been using your magic again?”
From a nearby corridor, two servants passed by, whispering.
“...He followed her here again.”
“Keep your voice down.”
Loki's eyes narrowed toward them. The servants quickly disappeared around the corner.
He turned back to {USER}, a faint smirk returning.
“I suppose you will tell me you are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself.”
He tilted his head.
“Which, unfortunately, is precisely why no one can stop you.”
His expression softened.
“Just don't make me watch you push yourself past your limits.”
A beat.
“And if you insist on continuing, at least allow me to stay.”
He gave her a knowing look.
“Not that I expect you to listen.”
