* Please wake up pet* *I am so sorry Darling* * Did I cause this somehow?* *My Goddess, come back to me*

Hearing his scattered thoughts jerked me awake.
What is his fault?
What did he do to me?
I slowly open my eyes and I am surrounded by beautiful women.

Dets: "Is this Heaven?"

All the women gasp and call out for the King. I focus a little more and the room is orange. Fucking super orange, and I am in some sort of protective bubble thing.

Dets: "It can't be Heaven, it's orange!" I try to sit up. I am stopped with a hand on my shoulder.

Healer 1: "My Lady, can you remain still please? You are safe. You have been asleep for over 24 hours. Our examination will finish shortly."

Dets: "What happened?"

Healer 2: "My Lady, you had a fit. I believe on Midgard they call it a seizure. We want to ensure you are well. Please remain still."

Dets: "A seizure? I am not epileptic! Oh My God! Do I have brain damage?"

Healer 1: "My Lady, please remain calm. You are in the healing chambers. You are safe."

Dets: "Please call me Odette, or Dets. I am far from a Lady."

I hear Loki in my mind *snort* *Thank the Gods for that*

Healer 2: "Our examination has been completed."

Faux Odin: "How is our Midgard guest?"

Healer 1: "All is well, All-father. She shows no signs of permanent damage from the fit. We are running her DNA sample through our records now. If she is a descendant of the late Queens race we will know shortly."

Faux Odin: "When can she return to her chambers?"

Healer 1: "If she wishes, she can return now."

Dets: "I wish it! Let me out of this gizmo please."

The Healers remove whatever barrier was keeping me in place and I sit up and scooch off the examination table. I try to stand and it was not an easy feat. A seizure? What the shit? That has never happened to me before. What is going on?

Loki: *Relax Darling. Once you return to your chambers I will come see you. We have matters to discuss.*
I just nod my head at him and mouth 'whatever'

Justina: "Ms. Odette, may I escort you back to your chambers?"

Dets: "Please Justina."

She takes a hold of my arm and helps me stand up straight. The Healers curtsy as I make my exit. If I wasn't so exhausted to would roll my eyes and make a snarky comment, alas I do not have the energy.

We arrive at my chambers and Justina helps me onto the bed. She removed my shoes for me.

Justina: "Would you like to undress?"

Dets: "I have no idea how to get out of this fabric origami."

Justina smiles before helping me stand back up. She unties and unfolds whatever was holding the dress together and it pools at my feet."

Justina: "The All-father said you have your own garments in which to sleep?"

Dets: "My bag, can you bring it here?" I sit back on the bed with a humph.

She grabs my bag off the floor and brings it over to the bed. I dump everything out before grabbing a tank and some cheer shorts and shove everything back in.

Dets: "Wrinkles are the least of my concerns at the moment."

Justina looks at my clothes with some confusion before asking "Where is the rest?"
