The Lost Queen (Druig x OC) (Eternals)

Chapter 46: Breakfast with the Gods

Walking into the dinning hall of the palace after getting dressed, Reina saw that she was the last one awake and that Hela, Val, Thor, Loki, and Sprite were already there. Val and Sprite were talking in the corner of the hall while Hela, Loki and Thor sat at the table. Val was the first to notice she had entered.

"Morning sleepy head," Val laughed, "I'm pretty sure this is the latest I've ever seen you sleep in"

"Morning after battles are always hard. I once slept for 3 days after a particularly hard battle." Thor commented.

"You slept for 3 days after getting to drunk one time." Reina pointed out, earning a glare from Thor but a laugh from everyone else as Sprite and Val joined them at the table.

"That's not entirely true." Thor tried to rebuttal but was quickly silenced by Hela.

"Yes...Yes it is. You got drunk at Reina's coronation and didn't wake up for 3 days. And we tried to wake you up... a lot, we even thought you were dead for a while."

"Not only did you fall asleep for 3 days, but when you woke up, you didn't stop throwing up for like 2 hours," Loki chimed in.

"And you couldn't walk properly for like a week," Val added. By the time they were done, Thor's face was so red it matched Reina's dress and everyone else could not stop laughing.

"Can we change the subject please?" Thor asked sheepishly, as he slid down his chair, hoping he would disappear.

"Fine," Hela threw up her arms, then shifted her focus to Reina. "You have a meeting set up with the realm for you to lift the curfew and share the news of Surtur's death and your return as queen. It's set for around 2 pm today; is that alright?"

"Sounds perfect. I'll start getting ready after breakfast." Reina sat down at the head of the table as Druig sat in the empty seat to her right.

"Speaking of which, when is Breakfast?" Druig questioned, pulling in his chair.

"It should be ready any minute," Loki answered, "We were waiting for the 2 of you."

Almost on cue, the doors swung open, revealing multiple people with carts. They placed a plate in front of each of them. For Loki, and Hela, they both had eggs with toast while Thor and Val had sausages, bacon and eggs, but Druig and Sprite got the same thing as Reina, who had French toast. Once all the plates were set out, the rest leave and all the gods start to eat. Sprite shrugged and started eating as well but Druig leaned to Reina.

"Is that normal here?" Druig questioned quietly.

"Perks of living in a castle," Reina smirked and cut off a piece of her french toast.

"Are we going to be able to go to this announcement thingy?" Sprite questioned, referring to her and Druig.

"That's up to you. If you want to come, you are more than welcome to by it is a formal event so you would need to wear something more dressy," Reina explained, referencing Sprites jeans and t-shirt she had on from yesterday.

"The only formal thing I really have is my mission suit."

"That's fine, but if you want something different, the palace had formal dress attire in a lot of different styles and a lot of different sizes. I'm sure we have something that would fit you if you would like to take a look." Reina explained.

"I can show you were it is, I need to grab something from down there anyway," Val interjected.

"What about me?" Druig asked.

"You should go with Val and Sprite."

"Why?"

"So I can get changed in peace."
