When you get back to your room, there are a bunch of maids rushing around. Some draw a bath, some set up the vanity with makeup. The girls hurry you into the bath. It's filled with fragrant oils and rose petals. The type of bath you could spend all day in. But you have a ball to get to. A ball specifically for you.
The maids dry you off, but once they start trying to dry your hair, you stop them. You pull the water from your hair and place it back in the tub. The girls watch with amazement as you use your powers for such menial tasks.
They then sit you down at the vanity and start on your makeup. Very light makeup is applied with a powder pink lip and glittery pink eyeshadow. Your hair is pulled half up with delicate curls cascading down your back.
Finally, the dress is pulled out. It's a beautiful off-the-shoulder pale blue dress made of mostly tulle. The top is lined with beads and gems and the waist is tied in with a silver belt. You slip into the dress and it fits like a glove.
Your jewelry is a simple diamond necklace with dazzling diamond earrings and your shoes are silver, almost holographic heels. The circlet from Frigga is placed delicately on your head and you are ready to go. Or so you think.
"My lady, a gift from the prince" one of the maids interrupts before you leave.
You thank her and take the small box. Inside is a diamond-encrusted ring in the shape of a snake. The ring fits perfectly and you wear it with pride on your right ring finger.
You exit your room and a guard is outside the door waiting for you. He explains that he is to escort you to the ball and that you are not to speak or dance with Loki until the announcement has been made. That leaves you with Thor and the Warriors Three to talk to.
The ballroom is filled with people already. You spot the Warriors three and make your way over to them.
"Lady, (y/n)! You look absolutely stunning this evening" Fandral says as he bends down to kiss your hand.
You feel eyes on you and immediately know who it is.
Loki, my love. Your stare is burning a hole in the back of my head
How can I look away when you look so beautiful and Fandral is the one kissing your hand, not me
You smile softly at his comment and join the conversation with the men. Each of the three men offers you a dance and you oblige. Traditional dances are about the only thing you can do, but that's what happens when you grow up in the 1700s.
After a few dances, Odin bangs his spear, Gungnir, on the floor. All attention turns to him and the room falls silent. Loki is standing a few feet behind him with a smile that usually only you get to see.
"Tonight's gathering is in order to make an announcement. My son," he gestures to Loki who you notice flinches at the word, " has begun his courtship of a young lady."
