Liyah: *she goes to the room where Thor has summoned her and enters* "Your Highness?"
Thor: "Liyah" *he stands* "Thank you for coming"
Liyah: "Of course" *bows* "Is there anything wrong? Anything wrong with my work?"
Thor: "No...Loki is alive"
Liyah: "...What?!" *she gets shocked in surprise and she puts a hand on her chest of where her heart is*
Thor: "He's being held in the prison decks"
Liyah: "He's in prison?! He's here in Asgard?!...Is he...there for his crimes?"
Thor: "Yes..." *he sighs* "But I knew you would want to know"
Liyah: "Yes of course I do...What will happen to him? He'll stay in prison?"
Thor: "Yes. That was what father has decreed"
Liyah: "I see...So he...faked his death?" *balls up her fists*
Thor: "Yes"
Liyah: "That trickster!" *says it loudly, then realizes what she did, and looks at Thor* "I'm sorry I apologize for my outburst"
Thor: "It's alright. It's understandable. I'm still angry too"
Liyah: "Is he allowed any visitors?"
Thor: "I don't know if that's a good idea, Liyah"
Liyah: "Please...Thor" *gets closer* "I need to see him...for my peace of mind"
Thor: *he sighs* "Very well. I will get you in"
Liyah: "Thank you Thor!"
Thor: "You're welcome. I'll summon you later so you may see him"
Liyah: "Alright thank you" *bows and goes to leave*

*Next Day*

Thor: *takes Liyah down to the prison*
Liyah: *she follows Thor and she's still wearing her black dress*
Thor: "Are you ready?"
Liyah: *she takes a deep breath* "I am" *her hands shake a little*
Thor: *he leads her to Loki's cell*
Loki: "Come for another spiel on the morality of my crimes, brother?" *he says*
Liyah: *her eyes widen in shock*
Thor: "There's someone else who would like to speak with you, brother" *he says and urges her to step out so Loki can see her*
Liyah: *nods to Thor then steps out so Loki can see her*
Loki: *he looks and sees her, his eyes widen, and he stands up from his chair* "Liyah!" *he says in surprise*
Liyah: "L-Loki" *looks at him* "You're really real" *she puts her hand on the glass*
Loki: *he goes up to the glass* "Why are you here?"
Liyah: "Why?...You're really asking me why I'm here?...I'm here to see you! To believe that I'm seeing you alive and that it's not a dream" *chuckles while she tears up*
Loki: "I thought that my brother had put you up to it"
Liyah: "Put up with what? Seeing you?...You really think low of me...You know I would never do that or be that scheming like you! How could you do that?! To everyone! And to...me..." *cries*
Loki: *he swallows* "The throne is rightfully mine, Liyah. I had to do everything I could for it"
Liyah: "The throne, yes of course the stupid throne!...I was a means to an end wasn't I?...You didn't really care about me...I loved you! I...still do" *says angrily and sadly*
Loki: "You mean much more to me than that, Liyah"
Liyah: *shakes her head* "Lies!...You know what's sad? I wore this black dress in mourning for you when I heard you have died...I guess it means nothing and I don't need to wear it now"
Loki: *he looks down but stays silent*
Liyah: "I'm not that kind of person to be put up or anything like that...How dare you I ought to slap you right now!...I guess you really never knew me or know who I am...I was the only one fighting for you and for being on your side...always!" *brings her hand back and backs up a little from the glass*
Loki: "What do you wish for me to say, Liyah? There were bigger things at stake!"
Liyah: "Of course the stupid throne! I hate hearing about that stupid throne and I don't want to hear another word of it! And I thought you were dead!...I've never told anyone about this but after you died I've been living in your room" *looks sadly* "It seems that it's unnecessary now" *shakes her head*
Loki: *he sighs and shakes his head, resting his arm up on the glass*
Liyah: "I still love you Loki...but this is goodbye now" *back away more* "Goodbye Loki" *cries and starts to leave*
Thor: "Well done, brother" *he says to Loki before walking her out*
Liyah: *continues crying as she walks away with Thor*
