*Liyah walks through the halls of the castle at night, Loki is on his way to his room with a shaken look on his face, and his clothes are dirty like he was in a fight*
Liyah: *sees him and immediately goes to him* "Loki! Are you alright?! Are you hurt?!"
Loki: "I-I'm alright...Thor's been banished"
Liyah: *gets surprised in shock* "What?!...How? Why?"
Loki: "He-He, it's a lot to explain. We went to the home of the frost giants because he insisted on speaking with their king. Now he's gone and we may have a war on our hands"
Liyah: "Why did he want to speak with him?...Wait a war?!"
Loki: "I-I have to go. One of our friends was injured in the combat, and he's in bad condition"
Liyah: "Oh! Please go and save our friend!" *worries*
Loki: *he nods and hurries off*
Liyah: *watches him leave*

*Few Nights Later*
Liyah: *she has heard that Odin has fallen into his sleep as she goes to check on Loki* "Loki"
Loki: *he looks up and answers the door* "Liyah"
Liyah: "Can I come in?"
Loki: "Of course" *he lets her in*
Liyah: *she comes in* "I heard about your father...I'm so sorry Loki" *hugs him*
Loki: *he hugs back* "Thank you"
Liyah: "Of course...What has happened?"
Loki: "Father has been taken to his chambers to rest. Mother is staying by his side"
Liyah: "I see...How are you feeling with all of this?"
Loki: "I'm unsure... For now, the burden of the throne has fallen to me. I take my position tomorrow"
Liyah: *is surprised* "You mean...?"
Loki: "Yes. Tomorrow I take on the mantle of king in my father's stead"
Liyah: "W-wow! I-I see!"
Loki: "Yes" *he sighs heavily* "I fear that father may never wake again"
Liyah: "Oh no!" *holds his hands* "Don't despair your father might get through this and eventually wake up" *smiles to comfort him*
Loki: *he nods* "I hope so"
Liyah: "I will continue to try to help you in anyway that I can Loki"
Loki: "Thank you... I need to prepare for tomorrow. Thank you for coming to see me"
Liyah: "Of course" *kisses his cheek* "Call for me anytime you need me"
Loki: *he nods* "Thank you, Liyah. I will speak with you soon"
Liyah: "You're welcome Loki" *lets go of his hands and goes to leave*
Loki: *he watches her go*
Liyah: *looks back at him then leaves*
