Odin's Little Devil// Loki

Fine Line

Between the two of them, they consumed nearly all the bread, cheese, apples, and grapes set out on the bed, leaving a picked at turkey to be fed to all the animals in the village. Zillah took nearly three hours to undo the mess on the princess's head and applied heavy amounts of nectar-based oil to her dry and frazzled ends before placing a delicate braid down her spine. She had curled the girl's lashes with much protest before applying a serum to the girl's bumpy face.

"Don't give me a single excuse, you will apply this every day, wash that fine face of yours before bed, and take care of yourself, Nyx." Zillah held the girl in her arms for a moment before gathering her things and making it back into her room before attending to other matters amongst the palace.

Nyx stared down at the facial containers and sighed before placing them on her bed. She looked onwards and decided it was time to clean the room she wrecked. This was no deed that needed tending to by maids or cleaners, it was something she needed to clean herself. She felt full and almost overstuffed. Sure to use her energy wisely, she got to her feet and placed the broken wooden bits from her bedside table at the entrance of her room beside the door. She scrambled to move the rocks and broken matter at her balcony and was careful not to step in any more glass. She moved the shattered glass and broken vanity to one place in her room before calling for someone to help her move it to the trash.

Some men came in and handled the dirty dishes on her bed and some nice young maidens came to help her pick up the pieces she kept in a neat corner beside the door.

She turned and saw a very neat-looking room. She felt a weight lift off her chest at the sight. She wondered if some sort of psychological stress was the cause of her untidy bedroom.

It wasn't long before Thor had knocked upon her door and made his way inside with another tray of food, only a more proportionate one this time.

"Thor I just ate about an hour ago." she smiled sweetly up at her brother as he was beginning to be followed by the backside of a guard, then another, and another.

"Who said this was for you?" he joked, his smile brightening her mood. He sat down beside her as four guards all made their way into her room unannounced but followed by the Prince of Asgard. The first two carried a brilliant black metal vanity with shimmering red rubies glittering in an intricate lattice along the edges of the rectangular mirror in the center.

"What did you do?" she turned to her brother and narrowed her eyes at him.

"I see you've already cleaned up." Thor chuckled lightly before setting the tray down between him and his sister who was found sat at the edge of her messy bed. "On the west wall," he ordered, and with that, the two guardsmen placed the vanity down on the floor in the exact place she had her old one. Then the other two guards had come inside while the other two bowed their heads and left the room.

"Thor!" Nyx called out. He ignored her. The other two came in with similar metal tables that were large enough to place two candles on each front corner with a book between them. She shook her head disapprovingly.

"I'm allowing you to get away with waiting, but this. This is doing no good in the matter." Nyx explained. Thor's eyes went to the guards and paused, his smile falling as they placed the metal side tables down on either side of her bed and bowed their heads with an honorably bright smile. "When Sir Harper is finished in the workshop, can you please bring it up as soon as possible?" Thor asked.

"Of course." they both said in unison.

"I will go see how far along he is now." the one on the left replied before following the other out into the corridor.

The door shut quietly before Thor began an explanation. "Your room is nearly empty, look around, you have a closet, a bathroom, a mattress, and one mirror. That's hardly anything. So, I thought I'd do something nice for my baby sister while she's recovering."
