They rode in silence for a while until they reached the passage, to Eira it looked like just a narrow cave. "Do we just walk through, or do we have to get a running start, or say a secret password, or do a special dance...." She said with a little laughter and a hint of sarcasm. Loki laughed. "No, this one we just walk right through" they both got off of sliepnir and he took her hand, after he did, she gave him a little 'look' "what? It's so we don't get separated" he said a tiny bit defensively "oh right, /that's/ it" she started giggling and he just rolled his eyes at her. They both walked through the passage and were again on Asgard. Just when they got back loki let go of sliepnir and told him something Eira didn't understand, but he took off running without them.
"What was all that?" She asked
"If he gets home without us they won't keep looking for us, they'll think we're dead and I can get you home in peace" loki told her. She didn't say anything for a moment and then asked:
"So uh... Where are we?"
"Right now we're in the middle of nowhere, but I know how to get back" he replied. After about a minute of silence Eira asked "can I ask an unusual question?" Loki shrugged "I don't see why not" "How were you punished when you got back to asgard?" Loki stopped walking, taken by surprise by the question just asked "I'm sorry, what?"
"Well you said you were-" she was cut off
"I know what I said, but why would you even- who even asks that kind of question?" He had a hint of irritation in his tone "Well I was just thinking" she started "you helped me escape from asgard, that means you put to waist everything you went through. I just wanted to know what you gave up for me" she explained. Loki was less irritated my her question now, but still had no intention of answering "It's no big deal, I did what had to be done" was his response. "Well- hang on, do you hear that?" She asked. They both stopped walking and listened "yes, I do" they could both hear the sound of people shouting and running. Loki turned around "how? How did they find us?!" He could now see that they were chasing them and were getting too close too fast.
"I thought you said you were the only know who knew the passages! How could they know we're here?!" She shouted
"I thought I was! But we need to run. Go!" They both took off running, the soldiers chasing them, loki knew he couldn't out run them with Eira, he also knew he couldn't fight them all / and/ protect her at the same time
"I've got an idea, follow me" he said as they continued to run. After a few minutes they came to a bridge, it looked weak and unstable, and passed over a deep, wide, fast running river. Loki took Eira's hand and started up the bridge.
"Loki, this isn't safe" she said as she pulled him back a little.
"Trust me" he said as he held her hand a little tighter
