Later in the day while I'm comfortably resting in my cell consumed with the same familiar boredom, I receive an unexpected visitor.
It's Thor, who I can see has a smug look on his face when he walks past a weary eyed Loki, sitting on what was left of his mattress in the middle of his cell.
"Lady Krystal" he greets me once he's in front of my cell.
"Hello" I state with a hint of displeasure about the cruel treatment of his brother.
"Would you care to join me for dinner this evening?"
"So soon?"
"Why not?" he smiles thinking he is being suave.
"Sure, I'd love to".
"I will send someone to collect you within the hour".
"See you then".
Loki lays back on his tattered mattress once Thor is out of sight and I can tell he's annoyed that his brother didn't even stop to talk to him for a moment.
"If he's dumb enough to take this collar off me, then I could compel him take yours off too so you can fix all your stuff?"
"Just focus on yourself and gaining his trust".
"Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated".
"Show a little vulnerability and touch his hand at some point as if it were an accident. If he truly likes you, then he will take your hand and kiss it".
After a while, I start to think about my plan and wonder if it was such a good idea after all.
However much I wanted Thor to trust me, I couldn't help but think about how unnecessarily cruel his punishment had been towards his brother.
It isn't long before some servant girls come to my cell to deliver something I wasn't expecting.
They've brought me an elegant dress and shoes to wear to dinner. Once I'm all dressed up, I ask Loki for his opinion.
"So, what do you think?"
"You should wear your down, he would prefer that".
"Like this?" I ask and let my hair fall down over my shoulders.
"Perfect. You look like a real lady".
"Why, what do I normally look like?" I laugh.
"Less than innocent".
"Is that a polite way of saying I normally look like a whore?"
Even when he pays me a compliment, he somehow manages to insult me.
"No, not at all. I believe you are quite beautiful, but not what Thor would prefer".
"Sweet and doe eyed?"
"Precisely. Do not give yourself to him fully this evening however".
"Why is that?"
"He is a hunter by nature, he prefers to chase his prey before he captures it".
"So what are you then, Loki? Hunter or prey?"
"I am the predator that stalks the hunter and tears their throat out when they least expect it".
"Interesting. So what happens to the prey once the predator has killed the unsuspecting hunter?"
"That depends on how hungry the predator is. Perhaps it will devour them also?"
"Would you devour me Loki?"
"It is really yourself you should be asking that question. You are a predator disguised as prey, innocently lying in wait for the unassuming hunter to get close enough".
