The next morning Astria woke to a small squeal of surprise from a maid who had walked into the room. Astria shot up in bed almost instantly and simply stared at the other women in front of her, her eyes big and fear filling them. But next to her Loki only growled possessively and yanked her back into him.
"Sparrow it is not time to start the day till I say, now stay." He grumbled huskily in her ear as his arms wrapped tighter around her, wishing to ensure she wouldn't leave his embrace again.
"No Loki we have to get up.. There's a servant here who wishes to do her job." Astria whispered hurriedly to him as she gently struggled against his vice like embrace.
"Mmm. She'll come back later when we're up." Loki said before attempting to nuzzle his face into Astria's hair once again. But Astria could only glance up at the maid in front of them, who was currently shifting her weight nervously. She couldn't help but sympathize with the poor girl, she probably had many things to do and they were holding her up.
"Loki if you want even a small chance of me being your concubine you'll get up with me right now." She whispered aggressively to him. But instead of him grumbling irritably or being cranky a chuckle escaped his chest as his eyes opened slowly.
"Oh so the Little Sparrow does know how to attack a predator after all" He teased gently before sneaking a small kiss to her cheek. His attention finally turned to the women standing in front of the door with her head looking down at the floor. "Please, would you go fetch a day gown for the Lady." With the command said the maid bowed politely and left the room.
"That must have been quite a shock to her." Loki said before rolling out of bed and standing up. Slowly he reached his arms above his head, letting his muscles ripple and pull as he stretched. Astria couldn't help but stare at the Prince, in the thrall of sadness last night she didn't notice how beautifully chiseled Loki was. With each muscle being slightly more defined than the last; unlike Thor's muscular bust Loki's definition wasn't sharp and cut, it was smooth and soft, showing off strength just as much as agility and elegance. Astria's eyes wandered up and down his torso, a dark set blush slowly blooming across her cheeks as she let her eyes wander.
Loki turned around and a grin spread across his features as he saw the state Astria was in. Quickly the girl turned her head and crawled out of bed, using her hands to straighten out her nightgown after she stood. Now that the sunlight was pouring into the room Astria got a much better look at it. The room contained mostly dark browns and blacks, with accents of green and gold spattered artistically through out the room. The huge bed that she had just slept in was still the center of it all, with its two dark wood night tables. One of which had multiple books stacked upon each other, obviously marking Loki's preferred side of the bed. But there wasn't much need for Astria to ogle the room, what she really wanted was so take a hot bath.
"Prince Loki.. Is it alright if I use your private chambers to take a bath?" She said quietly, keeping her head down as she ran her fingers nervously over the silken fabric.
Loki let out a small snort. "Of course it is, what a silly question Sparrow." He teased before looking out the window and humming quietly. "Though I would like you out before I leave for my daily duties." He announced, only gaining a nod from the small girl before she took off to the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom she took a few moments to let her eyes wander over the architecture. Everything was polished to the point that if anything tried to touch it would simply slip off. The white marble of the floor stretched throughout the whole bathroom, until it got to the large tub that was embedded into the floor. It stopped and marked the edges while black rock dipped into the vast tub, making it seem as though the bath would go forever into a void.
