REMEMBER ME (Loki x Alina x Fandral)

Dinner

*Loki*
She hasn't completely healed yet, so it isn't wise to take her outside. I have so many places I want to show her. So today I have decided to bring her to the biggest library in the palace, a room I am very fond of myself. Watching her walk around exploring fills me with joy, she seems to truly enjoy it.

She has such a pleasant personality, she is caring and soft, in many ways opposite me. But she also has good taste in literature and a sharp mind. We end up skipping lunch, being all caught up in our own World of books.

When I walk her to her chambers much later in the afternoon, she looks at me and blush slightly as she reach on her toes and presses a kiss to my cheek. "Thank you so much for today".

*Alina*
The next day I decide to go back to the library. To me a library is the answer to most questions. I hope to find something there, a book of magic maybe, something that can heal my memory. I can't go on like this, not knowing, not remembering. I want to know who I really am, not just a name. I want to remember my parents faces, friends and loved ones.

I start searching through the thousands of books that are kept there, but come up empty handled. Perhaps I need Loki to help me, maybe he knows where to start. He is certainly more familiar with this place.

I am wondering why I have not seen him today. But he is a Prince after all, he must have a lot of things to attend to, royal duties and such. I walk around for a bit, hoping to run into him. The palace is beautiful and huge and Loki is nowhere to be seen, no one else is familiar to me yet.

I decide to enter the kitchen, needing to find something to occupy my mind. I might not remember much, but I feel deeply that I am not used to just sitting around doing nothing. All the makes are staring at me and I send them a friendly smile. "Good afternoon everyone".

One of them approaches after they all treated me back. "What Can I do for you my lady ?"
"Oh nothing. I was just walking by and I wondered whether I can help you out around here". I answer her.

"No no, my lady please there are no need, you are Prince Loki's mate, you should not work". She say.

I chuckle at the misunderstanding. "I'm afraid there have been a small misunderstanding, I am not his mate". I look at the food. "What are you making for dinner today ?"

"We have chicken, bacon and eggs, sweet potato, mushroom soup and some
desserts such as strawberries puddings". She tells me.

"It sounds wonderful. Perhaps you will allow me to help. Come on let's start". I walk towards the work table, getting things ready, mumbling to myself. "Here we go".

As I start chopping up the vegetables it is like memories float back into my body, to my fingers. They look at me impressed that I know how to do this and I even show them some diving and chopping techniques they haven't seen before.

I tell them to heat the roasted as I mix the chicken with ingredients. I am stirring the soup until the veggies are soft and tender. And preparing pasta for the soup along with beans and poached eggs. I smile, admiring my own work, happy to know I am not totally useless. There are roast chicken with all the traditional sides. Veggie soup with mushrooms and cream and Bacon eggs with mayonnaise. I hope the food will be a success.

I feel good, but tired walking back to my room and I go to bed early, sleeping the best I have since arriving here.

*Loki*
My father calls for his personal head chef asking him. "The food was marvelous today. Did we get a new chef in the kitchen ?"

"No we don't have a new chef my king. The food was prepared and cooked by Prince Loki's mate". He explain. "She insisted in helping out. All the dishes were her ideas. I Can only say that lady Alina is a talented woman".

I almost choke on my food listening to them, I like how people presume that she belong to me. Odin sends me an approving grin.

"The food is delicious indeed". Volstagg exclaims, calling for the maid. "ANOTHER PLEASE".
Thor and Frigga is glancing at each other and Thor sighs. "So is she Your mate brother or isn't she ?"

I ponder the question for a moment. "I have not yet asked her to be mine officially".

"You should introduce her my son". Frigga state. "I would love to meet her".

"I Will mother, as soon as she is ready". I answer softly.

"Lady Alina's father was a friend of mine". Odin tells his wife. "Tomorrow we Will have a big feast, invite her and introduce her to Your mother and Thor, and to Your friends too".
I nod, knowing father won't accept a no.
