Apparently he had not become so wary as to lose the ability to fall completely into his reading, for when he looked up and saw Sif wrapped in the forest-green coverlet of his bed, he had no memory of her arrival. More than a little wary, Loki set his book aside on the cell's low table and rose, walking over to her. "What are you doing here?"

Sif had wondered how difficult it would be to sneak up on Loki, especially in his current situation. She had never had the opportunity before, but she had been able to watch from afar, learning his routine. Reading, sleeping, pacing. Repeat the process, every day. So she had gotten into his cell, and had slipped into his bed. Watching him had become a bit of a chore as of late. “Quite a comfortable bed for a prisoner, when all others must sleep on the floor in their dirty clothes,” she replied, raising an eyebrow in his direction.

Creatures of Shadow | wasaking

Home. It was a strange concept, after having gone from realm to realm with the warriors in search of some artifact that Odin was keen on acquiring. And having been the only female in the group, she felt at odds with every one of them. Of course she had adapted, but it still had not felt to her that she was appreciated.

It was how their band of merry folk operated. The men were the ones who were to go off and seek out the riches, taking the dangerous missions from their King in order to return and gain his favor. It sickened her just a bit, and more often than not it had been she who would make the climb or dive to the deepest parts of reachable ocean to find just what it was that he sought. The rest took the credit and though it had not bothered before, just once she had wanted to come in first. Perhaps one day, but it sure as Hel was not this one.

Though as the group walked through the shining city, she held her head as high as ever, past prying eyes and whispered words. She had done her job and knew there were scars to prove it. But that was not what she was after. No, today she would sneak away, off to the shadows, where it was thought a creature such as her should remain. A creature indeed, but a creature of what, exactly?
