You hear footsteps approach as you lovingly remain embraced with Loki.

"Flower, I-I-know it's late, and the eclipse will start soon, but may I request that dance now?"

You break away from Loki and look happily at Huggin.

"If that's okay with Loki" he adds

Loki looked at you, and saw your beseeching eyes.

He relents, deciding not to sour the night by his unhealthy jealousy. He nods, and stepped away, inviting Huggin to take his place.

Huggin smiled at Loki, and ushered closer to you, holding out his hand for you to take.

"I've been waiting for you Huggin" you say, placing your palm inside his.

Loki walked beside you as you and Huggin entered the great hall.

"Is there any particular dance you wish to perform Flower?" Huggin asked

"Hmmm" you ponder in thought

"May I suggest the waltz, she's very good" Loki whispered in Huggin's ear, making sure you didn't hear his suggestion.

"Thank you Brother" Huggin says happily

You narrow your eyes in wonder seeing Loki smirk as Huggin guided you to the dance floor, and as Huggin positioned his pose and took your hands, you understood why he grinned wide.

You glared at Loki, he knew well you were terrible at the waltz, and now poor Huggin's toes were about to be trampled when you ungracefully fumble the steps.

The music began and as you were swayed, you felt inclined to apologise before the first toes were squished.

"I'm sorry Huggin, Loki lied. I'm terrible at the Waltz"

He chuckled "I know he lied, I watched you dance with him earlier. But any dance with you, regardless of how well it's performed will be the highlight of my night, and besides, I have large talons not toes. You couldn't hurt me with those dainty feet" he laughs, while looking down at your open toe heels.

You giggled, loving how Huggin remained composed knowing Loki tried to be his usual trickster self.

You swayed with Huggin, and enjoyed your time immensely as you conversed in a long over due conversation. Often laughing at the funny quips he made.

You found the talk distracted you, which oddly helped with your dancing ability, you danced better when not trying so hard to be good.

Odin suddenly addressed everyone in the hall, announcing the imminent moon eclipse.

Your dance with Huggin came to an end, both of you about to go off and find Loki but Loki had already resumed his place by your side, looking a little disgruntled that you didn't step on Huggin's feet not once.

"Is something the matter My Love?" you ask playfully

"Nothing Darling. Nothing at all" he smiled, brushing away his resentment.

You beamed at him, finding it refreshing to see no jealousy.

It seemed he was finally trusting Huggin's company around you, especially after you explained it was Huggin who helped you escape the hall, aiding you in the jail break.

The three of you walked onto the balcony, joining the crowds that looked up at the night sky in anticipation of the eclipse.

You looked around and already saw couples embrace, and kiss. Your heart warmed seeing Thor with Meddie, recognising the look of love on their face, the look you and Loki share so often.
