Sigyn would scold herself later for that. Usually, she is not so distracted. ~

Hello, world.
Yes, it got her in a mess of trouble now and again, but it has been worth it to experience this.

Everyone around her was content to see the same plot of land for the rest of their lives. There is nothing wrong with that — if anything, Sigyn was the one who was made to feel wrong for wanting something else. She wanted ~

Her mother might have hoped for Thor to take a fancy to one of her daughter, but Sigyn knows Freyja would agree to Loki. If that is what Freyja and Odin decide, it would be so.
“Thank you for . . . back there.”

In this moment when he asks what she wants, Sigyn wonders if perhaps Loki did what he did back there because he saw her fear and simply freed her from it. Helped. Had she not seen the sincerity in his expression, she would have assumed it to be so. But she saw~

He is undeniably handsome. Not the way Thor and his lot are. There is something . . . otherworldly about Loki that Sigyn decides she likes. He is different, and the only thing that might suit her would be ~

Löfn approaches. She kisses her cheek. “Be careful, little sister.”

Frigga is a mother, and he is her dear one. She wishes more than anything that what Loki decides will make him happy. If Sigyn is that happiness, may the Norns bless them both. ~

One of the perks of this realm. So much chocolate.
“I’m Sigyn,” she adds. “An oddly friendly stranger.”

But the king keeps his machinations to himself for now. Plus, the Norns themselves would have to approve the match.
“Perhaps, my son would like to show Lady Sigyn the gardens. Get better acquainted.”

Already, he was thinking of the possible benefits of such a union. Loki is of Jötunheim and raised on Asgard. Sigyn has blood connections to Vanaheim and Nídavellir. This would only solidify the power Odin and his family holds ~
