When I woke up the next morning, Loki and Thor where lying next to me, their arms wrapped protectively around my shoulders. I smiled and sat up, slowly, not wanting to wake them. Loki stirred in his sleep, and I stopped, staying absolutely quiet. When he stopped moving, I got off the bed, my nightgown-that Loki had probably got me into- starting to fall to the floor. There was only one other person in my room, a maid, and I motioned for her to leave. As she left, I walked to my closet, trying to choose something to wear. I finally chose a blue dress, the one Loki bought for me. I froze as the door to my closet creaked open, and heard Loki's voice.

"For someone trying to be quiet, your very noisy." He said, chuckling.

I frowned. "And for someone who is supposed to be a good listener, your terrible." I tried, failing miserably. I heard laughter behind me. I turned to see my brothers leaning against each other, laughing. I slipped past them and into a small dressing room. As they turned to see where I had gone, the door was closed, and I was getting ready for the day. When I was done, I opened the door and walked into my room. I felt myself being lifted from the ground, and turned my head to see Thor behind me.

"Let me go, you big pile of bones!" I shouted. "Or I swear I will send you to a different dimension!" Thor hesitantly put me on the ground. "Thank you."

I turned to Loki. "If I remember correctly, Allfather wanted us to go to Jotunheim to discuss the terms of a peace treaty-and to pray to Zeus that it works." Loki nodded.

"Sounds like fun." He said, turning around to go to his quarters. "I assume a warm cloak?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Unless you want Heimdall on our butts because we're not dressed warm enough, I'd say yes."

Loki laughed and walked out my rooms. I turned to Thor. "I was told to bring you." I said. "You might learn something from me." Thor glared at me, then went off to his own chambers to get ready.
