Loki had been tasked with the chore of escorting the princess to the throne room to discuss maters of her marriage. He waited for her to awaken outside of her room. She emerged in a few minutes, dressed in a flowing white sleeveless gown, native to Egypt. It was bound by a single golden cord at the waistline giving it the effect that it was more unified then it truly was. She did not see Loki standing there so he figured he would make her aware of his presence.

"Ah Lady Rashida, you look ravishing this morning."

It startled her a bit considering she did not know he was there. Her shoulders flinched slightly and she snapped her head in his direction to see who was the source of the remark. Her face fell as soon as she laid eyes on him.

"Loki, your highness. Forgive me but I did not know you were waiting for me."

Loki smirked and linked his arm with hers. This caught her off guard and she gasped ever so slightly.

"Oh of course. Odin wouldn't have it any other way, he tasked me with escorting you to the throne room myself."

He snatched her other hand and placed a gentle kiss upon it. A light blush crept onto her face as she observed him doing so.

"Please, my lady. We must get going."

He added and gazed into her eyes, his smirk still not fading from his face.

"Yes.. of course. Forgive me, your highness but I seem to be still dazed in my recent rest."

He scoffed lightly and his smirk threatened to leave his face. His grip on her arm became looser and less willing.

"Well that certainly will not due. You must wake up."

He hissed. Rashida rolled her eyes. She almost thought he was charming for a second. She had been deceived.

"We are here, my lady."

Loki announced as he escorted her to the seat of Odin's throne. Rashida Bowed before him, lowering to one knee.

"My lord, it is my pleasure to be your audience once more."

Rashida said as she rose back to her feet. Loki took his place next to Odin, across from his brother Thor. Thor smiled brightly at Rashida who returned it with a light smile.

Rashida looked around the room briefly and noticed something was missing, her father.

"You Majesty, excuse my curiosity, but where is my father?"

She asked with concern. Odin dismisses the question lightly with a wave of his hand.

"He will be along soon, child. Now more pressing matters await."

He began and rose from his throne. Odin walked down to Rashida, his sons stayed in their rightful places however.

"Have you come any closer to making a decision on your marriage?"

Odin asked the princess who merely sighed in response. Odin raised an eyebrow at this gesture.

"I have only had a day to think on the vast majority of my future, your highness. Please be more patient with me as I am making a decision that will not merely guide my own future but that of my people as well."

Odin seemed surprised at her response and her choice words. Yet he seemed satisfied with the answer.

"Wise words for someone as yourself. Just do not forget, your final choice is due by the sun set of the third day. Do not let it be late."

Rashida Bowed her head slightly in response.

"Yes, your highness."

Odin then turned to his sons. He signaled for Thor to come forward. The blonde gentle giant came forward.

"Yes father?"

"Why don't you find the Pharo and being him to the throne room to discuss matters, my boy."

Thor nodded and trotted off to bring the Pharo back with him.
