At Least We Had a Happy Parting

 Chapter Nine

After a couple days the ache in my joints finally gave way. Loki has been nice enough to bring me my dinner and eat with me. I think he is starting to care to much. Maybe I should stop seeing him so the connection doesn't grow more. It also doesn't help that Loki basically threatened to pull me out of this room if I didn't come to dinner tonight. He thinks I need to be outside of this room, the library and the garden. The only three places I go to avoid people. I heard a knock on the door and Loki stepped in.

"I called the servants to help you get dressed. Then we will go to dinner. Thor has been asking about you. He's gotten very annoying."

"I'm trying to avoid him. I don't want to get to close. He's to happy all the time." Loki scoffs then walks out.

I swung me legs over to the side of the bed and moved them around to get them warmed up. I grab the nightstand and hoisted my self up... only to fall to my knees. Maybe sitting for hours in my room with a book is not a good idea. Oh Allfather they are starting I tingle. Ow!

"Miss?"

"Come in" two servants entered. One with blonde hair and the other with light brown. "We are here to help you dress. My name is Amber, and this is Mariam. If you need anything we can help. Mariam I deaf but she can read lips so if you need anything just make sure she is looking at you talk." Amber with blonde hair went into my wardrobe while Mariam set up the vanity.

"Amber? I have been laying down for to long and my legs fell asleep. Could you help me up?" Amber pulled Mariam to me and they helped to onto the bed. "Thank you" I said and signed hoping Mariam would understand. And she did her eyes widened and she started signing fast.

"Stop. I only took a couple years but I stopped since I had no one to practice with." I signed

"It is truly amazing you know how to. I've only met Amber who knows how to in the palace. That's why we are partners." Mariam signed. Ping. I smiled. They went back to their tasks while I tried not to be awkward and watch them.

Amber helped me with dressing in a green dress with a golden bust, while Mariam pinned my hair up and added golden clips to my hair. I refused to wear makeup. It makes my skin feel gross. The two girls helped me walk to the mirror and I looked at myself. The green made my hair stand out in a good way. I'm guessing since Loki's color is green that is why I a wearing this.
After they were finished with my transformation they walked me to Loki's door. I watched as a beautiful woman with red hair walked out of his room followed by him. My heart started to hurt. Why am I hurting. I must be happy for him. He has found his love. Loki spots me and runs over to take charge of walking with me. He thanked the girls and they went to tidy up my room.

"Was that her" I asked Loki

"What?" I looked at his confused face.

"The red hair woman. Is that your lover?" I felt a pain in my chest again. Happy. I'm happy for him. "It's fine if it is. I'm happy you have someone. She's beautiful." We continued walking. In silence. It was unbearable.

"Her name is Sgyin. She's both beautiful and powerful." He looked sad when he said that. I felt pain again.

"Why did you court in secret? If you brought light to the relationship you could have married her instead of me." We turned a corner

"Odin wouldn't agree. A fallen price doesn't have a right to marry such a woman. He doesn't... If he wouldn't allow it then, he would never give me a chance with her."

"Are you trying to get your status back?" Loki nods. "That's great. When you do you can finally court. And get married." Ping. He looked at me saddened and hurt. "What?" I furrowed my brows. And he stops
