Still, she worries. Because Thor sometimes doesn’t think, and Loki never stops. So, though he means well, Thor will do something that Loki will turn over and over and over in his wounded heart, and feel it—intended or not— more deeply than he’d ever admit. It’s a bad combination that leads to unnoticed slights that simmer down to resentment and end in tears, and snakes that aren’t snakes, and poor Thor left with a shallow pair of bite wounds and no idea why.
So, she looks for other children, sets up meetings and visits with any sons of warriors, courtiers, diplomats, and merchants that might be of an age with them. Thor makes friends as easily as he breathes, but Loki is another matter entirely, her withdrawn younger son who, though he’s well-mannered enough in their presence, always finds some fault with the other boy (arrogant, stupid, boring) and returns to his books and his familiar solitude.
