After several more stops to gather supplies for our journey, Maeve left us at our rooms. Elada had been busy in our absence, preparing a seafood chowder. It was one of my favourites, so I knew he felt bad about our earlier argument.
"It'll be ready in an hour or so," he said as we updated him on what Shannon had learned.
While Shannon talked with Elada, I took our supplies into the bedroom and started packing. Once Shannon got her new weapons from her great uncle tomorrow, we would leave for Asgard. Shannon was sure Loki would agree to our quest once she explained the situation. Although not thrilled at the idea of seeing him again, I had to admit to a certain amount of excitement at visiting Asgard, especially if it was to become my new home. Other than Litaui, our people didn't travel to other planets.
Not that we weren't interested in other worlds. We hadn't developed the portal technology to go somewhere new without setting up the destination first. Our ancestors had used the first natural undersea portals to get to Litaui before creating the water gates. Lacking a treaty with Asgard, we didn't have access to their bifrost. It was one of the many reasons my mother was keen on me becoming our ambassador to Asgard.
Voices drifted in from the main room, drawing me from my thoughts.
Elada had me gritting my teeth and growling as I heard him say, "My lady, please tell me you are here to use and abuse my poor self. I will gladly sacrifice my body to your carnal needs."
Who the hell is Elada propositioning now? Seriously? If he was being inappropriate with Shannon again, I was going to actually punch him this time. I was completely and utterly fed up with his barnacle-brained antics. Putting down the tunic I was packing, I stomped out of the bedroom.
Surprise had me halting in the doorway.
Maeve was smirking at the entrance to our rooms. Shannon, hazel eyes wide, had one hand over her mouth, with Mist standing beside her. My idiot brother had his smarmiest, flirtiest smile on his face as he made eyes at a stunningly beautiful female in green, black, gold, and silver armour. I could see why Elada was making a pufferfish of himself. Tall, but still sexily curvaceous, she had ivory pale skin, brilliant green eyes, and long braids of midnight hair that fell to mid-back.
Damn, she is hot.
Wait... what?!I did not just notice another female in front of Shannon. Shame hit me hard at my thoughts. Maybe my brother needed to punch me instead.
The gorgeous female arched a dark eyebrow at Elada, clearly not impressed with him.
Damn it. I need to stop noticing how attractive she is.
Mist started chuckling.
"Loki?" Shannon asked, her voice soft with wonder.
Shock hit me like a kraken blow, my lungs seizing. Sea cucumbers! This was Loki?
