All the ways lead to Sakaar

Chapter 29

When Loki woke up the other day all he wanted to do was staying in his chamber and ending up the book he started to read the other day.

But from the other side he knew the Grandmaster won’t just let him go and will come to visit him and will bring Darcy and - Odin help him - Topaz with himself and he really rather be with them outside of his chamber than inside - outside there was always some place to run to.

So he unwillingly woke up from his bed, dressed in his usual outfit - shell armour and cape, which was yellow inside and navy blue outside - and went out of his apartment.

However, before he got to take two steps he got stopped by a slightly pink man, who was just passing by and threw in his direction.

“Hey bro, good to see you!” He smiled at the god of mischief who automatically stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Looking good today!”

And with those words he walked away leaving Loki confused just in front of the door of his own chamber.

The god wasn’t sure if he ever saw that guy before… he may have, but he surely didn’t exchange a word with him.

Finally Loki shrugged, deciding to forget about it and started to walk along. He didn’t got to take another two steps though, when he was accosted by two women, from which one was a guardian.

“How are you feeling? I heard you were badly injured.” Said the one wearing an armour. Loki glanced at them and blinked few times trying to figure out what’s going on.

The one man was relatively normal - it happened to him already that random people were wishing him good day, but yet another two people in two minutes - it was starting to look weird.

Despite that, being as educated in pretending as he was, the god smiled slightly at them making it look like he really appreciated their question and answered politely.

“Very well, thank you.” 

The women exchanged a few more words with him and then they all went in their own directions.

This time Loki was sure no one else is going to ask him anything, but to his surprise, as he was walking further down the corridor he met at least ten more people who asked about his health or praised his appearance. 

It’s not like he didn’t like that, he actually loved that.

It just seemed weird to him that all those people, who he more or less knew before, but were saying mostly ‘hi’ to him and asking for favors, maybe occasionally approaching to exchange a few comments with him (well maybe except that one pair, who wanted his autograph), were now so polite and moved.

It seemed a bit fetched, but the only explanation he could think about was the Grandmaster.

After his little accident, the ruler seemed a bit too fearful about Loki’s health. He could have told people that the god was in worse state than he really was in.

Well, thought Loki as the other woman - he remembered her name was Adelina WIEM BRZMI JAK MODELINA - stopped him on his way to the game room asking with worry for his health, at least he found out people in there seemed to be really fond of him.

That was both extremely nice and could profit in the future.

Though there weren’t just pluses about it - the way to the game room which usually took him like three minutes this time took him ten, because of common interest in his person.

In the same time, the Grandmaster was enjoying Darcy’s and - what happened really rarely - Valkyrie’s company.
