(Loki and Aoide are now sixteen, Asgard years.)

"Are you sure? Will they be okay with someone like me in the palace? Aren't commoners usually not allowed? What if-" Aoide rambled. I laughed.

"Normally commoners aren't allowed. My parents give permission for my friends to enter."  I smiled.

"Why are we going to the palace anyway?" She asked. I could tell that she didn't like places like that.

"My parents. They want to meet you. I never make any friends so..." I rolled my eyes. She laughed. "They want to know why I'm happy."

"That's good." She smiled. I smiled back.

.....

I led her through the main gates and into the hall of the king.

"Woah..." She said as we entered the golden hall. Her eyes darted around as if to capture every bit of it all. Then she looked at me. "Whats with all the gold?"

"I don't know," I said laughing. "Odin likes it that way."

"It's way too shiny." She shrugged. "I personally would have gone with another metal but..."

Her voice trailed off as someone entered. Her eyes widened.

"Hello, Father," I said as he walked up to us.

"Hello, Loki," He responded. He turned and faced Aoide. "And you must be Loki's friend."

"Yes. I'm Aoide Cordis. A pleasure to meet you All-Father." She curtsied. Odin looked at me.

"You didn't tell me she had such good manners." He said. I smiled as Aoide's faced went slightly pink.

"Of course she does. Where's mother?" I asked him.

"She was spending the day with Freya. She should be home shortly." He said. I nodded. Aoide looked somewhere behind me and scowled slightly. I turned to see who it was.

"Thor." I gave a fake smile.

"Loki." He looked at Aoide. "Aoide."

"Hello, Thor," Aoide said in a flat voice. Thor ignored this and turned to Odin.

"Father. Mother's home." Thor told Odin. Odin nodded.

"As expected my son, Frigga's always on time." Odin smiled and turned towards me. "Frigga was excited when she heard you were coming."

"I'm flattered." She said politely. I smiled. Mother will like her I thought.

"I'll go get her," Thor said. He turned and left. When he did, Aoide turned towards me.

"Why is everyone being so nice?" She whispered. I laughed.

"I don't know," I whispered back. She smiled.

"Loki, who is this?" A woman asked as she entered the golden hall.
