“So then I brought my mighty hammer down and it shattered the ground! The frost giant was no match for me that day.” Thor cuffed his ale and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He fingered the cloth around his head
“This hammer, you say it’s magic?”
“Oh yes, it’s enchanted with the words of Odin. Have you no magic where you’re from?”
Din shrugged, “Theres been whispers. People called Jedi. I don’t trust them.” He looked at Thor, “Sorry about the blindfolding.”
Thor laughed merrily, “Not at all my friend, it is your creed and I respect that.”
“But the entire tavern, you made them cover their eyes.”
“Yes and I we respect you, like I said.” A crash of glass and laughter rose. “Well the servers will get used to it.” Thor laughed. Now keep drinking, you deserve to have some fun, you work hard for your mate and child.”
Din finished his ale and nodded, “I appreciate everything you’ve done for us. Maggie and the child needed a break from space even though she’d never admit it.”
Thor smirked, “our Maggies are quite stubborn, but their love for us snd the children knows no bounds. Oh! Did I tell you that she ripped the head off of a crazed woman trying to take our pup. Not even three days after giving birth and she defended our family with honor snd bravery.”
A passing server placed more ale carefully on the table, “Lady Maggie is a wonderful mother and loves the Asgardian people, she’s a brave warrior and diplomat. To Maggie!!” She cheered and voices joined in.
“You have an interesting realm, as you call it. It intrigues me.” Din sat up, “I’d like to offer my assistance or credits for some land for my family if its possible. My family needs a quiet place to grow and they love it here.”
“Din, you needn’t ask, I know of a wonderful area you would love, good fishing snd hunting, quiet, good neighbors. You’d be safe.”
Thor laughed, “You owe us nothing. But if you’d like to find work, that can be arranged.”
Din gave a sigh of relief, “Thank you for this. You have my appreciation.”
Stumbling toward his chambers after saying goodnight to Thor, Din staggered and fell into a pair of arms.
“Din, it looks as though you’ve been with Thor.” Loki grinned.
Din nodded and belched. “Yup.”
“I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier, it was rude of me.”
“I don’t want Maggie to leave for a shifter here.” He slurred.
“And that shall not happen, she loves you immensely.” Loki patted his shoulder, “Byt I’ll see to it that you understand her shifter background more than ever.”
“Huh?” Din fumbled for the doorknob as they arrived at his door.”
“Don’t worry about a thing, I shall see you at our morning meal.”
“‘Kay” Din grunted as he entered the room, “night loki.”
Loki smirked mischievously as he started to walked away.
Din undressed and collapsed into the bed sound asleep in minutes.
