So I'm willing to overlook it. This time.\" \"A dick?\" Loki pretended to be offended. \"I'm merely worried about your health. If your bodies aren't used to strenous activities, like a long night of love making, you could waste away if you don't get plenty of protein and rehydrate. I'm concerned for you.\" \"Yes we both believe that's why you're here,\" Tove said sarcastically and took a glass of orange juice that Loki had just poured for him. \"What about you princess?\" Loki's gaze cut to me as he filled another glass. \"I'm not hungry.\"I sighed and sat up. \"Oh really?\" Loki arched an eyebrow. \"Does that mean that last night-\" \"It means last night is none of your business,\" I snapped.”",

He had his back to me, and it was even worse than I'd thought. \"Oh, my god, Loki,\" I gasped. \"I didn't know you were coming.\" He turned around to face me, smirking. \"Shall I leave the shirt off, then?\" \"No, put the shirt on,\" I said, and I closed the door behind me so nobody could see or overhear us talking. \"You're no fun.\" He wrinkled his nose and pulled the shirt over his head. \"Your back is horrific.\" \"And I was just going to tell you how beautiful you look today, but I'm not going to bother now if you're going to talk that way.\" Loki sat back down on his bed, more lying than sitting.”",

We were holding onto each other, knowing this might be the last time we could. It felt sweet and hopeful and tragic all at once. When he stopped kissing me he rested his forehead against mine. He breathed as if struggling to catch his breath. i reached up and touched his face, his skin smooth and cool beneath my hand. Loki lifted his head so he could look me in the eyes, and I saw something in them, something I'd never seen before. Something pure and unadulterated, and my heart seemed to grow with the warmth of my love for him. I didn't know how it happened or when it had, but I knew it with complete certainty. I had fallen in love with Loki, more intensely than anything I had felt for anyone before.”",

I want all of you, forever.\" Tears swam in my eyes, and my heart yearned so badly it hurt. Sitting there with Loki, I didn't think I'd ever felt quite so heartbroken. \"Don't cry, Wendy.\" He smiled sadly at me, and I saw the heartbreak in his eyes mirroring my own. He pulled me to him and kissed my forehead, then my cheeks, then my mouth. \"So, if this is all you'll let me have, then I will take it all,\" Loki said. \"No talking or even worrying about the kingdom or responsibility or anyone else. You're not the Princess. I'm not Vittra. We're only a boy and a girl crazy about each other, and we're naked in bed.\" I nodded. \"I can do that.\" \"Good, because I'm determined to make the most of it.\" He smiled and pushed me down on the bed. \"I think we broke the bed a little bit last time.

Loki grabbed the vacuum and followed me. \"You called him by his name this morning.\" \"Fine, I know his name,\" Loki admitted. We went into the next room, and he set down the vacuum as I started peeling the dusty blankets off the bed. \"But you were okay with Finn going off to Oslinna, but not Duncan?\" \"Finn can handle himself,\" I said tersely. The bedding got stuck on a corner, and Loki came over to help me free it. Once he had, I smiled thinly at him. \"Thank you.\" \"But I know you had a soft spot for Finn,\" Loki continued. \"My feelings for him have no bearing on his ability to do his job.\" I tossed the dirty blankets at Loki. He caught them easily before setting them down by the door, presumably for Duncan to take to the laundry chute again. \"I've never understood exactly what your relationship with him was, anyway,\" Loki said. I'd started putting new sheets on the bed, and he went around to the other side to help me. \"Were you two dating?\" \"No.\" I shook my head. \"We never dated. We were never anything.\" I continued to pull on the sheets, but Loki stopped, watching me. \"I don't know if that's a lie or not, but I do know that he was never good enough for you.\" \"But I suppose you think you are?\" I asked with a sarcastic laugh. \"No, of course I'm not good enough for you,\" Loki said, and I lifted my head to look up at him, surprised by his response. \"But I at least try to be good enough.\" \"You think Finn doesn't?\" I asked, standing up straight. \"Every time I've seen him around you, he's telling you what to do, pushing you around.\" He shook his head and went back to making the bed. \"He wants to love you, I think, but he can't. He won't let himself, or he's incapable. And he never will.\" The truth of his words stung harder than I'd thought they would, and I swallowed hard. \"And obviously, you need someone that loves you,\" Loki continued. \"You love fiercely, with all your being. And you need someone that loves you the same. More than duty or the monarchy or the kingdom. More than himself even.\" He looked up at me then, his eyes meeting mine, darkly serious. My heart pounded in my chest, the fresh heartache replaced with something new, something warmer that made it hard for me to breathe. \"But you're wrong.\" I shook my head. \"I don't deserve that much.\" \"On the contrary, Wendy.\" Loki smiled honestly, and it stirred something inside me. \"You deserve all the love a man has to give.\" I wanted to laugh or blush or look away, but I couldn't. I was frozen in a moment with Loki, finding myself feeling things for him I didn't think I could ever feel for anyone else. \"I don't know how much more laundry we can fit down the chute,\" Duncan said as he came back in the room, interrupting the moment. I looked away from Loki quickly and grabbed the vacuum cleaner. \"Just get as much down there as you can,\" I told Duncan. \"I'll try.\" He scooped up another load of bedding to send downstairs. Once he'd gone, I glanced back at Loki, but, based on the grin on his face, I'd say his earlier seriousness was gone. \"You know, Princess, instead of making that bed, we could close the door and have a roll around in it.\" Loki wagged his eyebrows. \"What do you say?\" Rolling my eyes, I turned on the vacuum cleaner to drown out the conversation. \"I'll take that as a maybe later!\" Loki shouted over it.”",

Then,when you were coughing up blood, I sent for the Queen to help you. When you escaped,I didn't stop you. And since I came here,I've done nothing to you. I've even been good because you told me to be.

Even his eyes, which still held their usual veil of playfulness, had something deeper brewing underneath. When he wasn't trying so hard to be devilishly handsome, he actually was. The growing connection I felt with him unnerved me, but I didn't want him to see that. More than that,it didn't matter what feelings I might be having for him.He was leaving today, and I would probably never see him again. \"I do trust you,\" I admitted. \"I do trust you.I just don't know why I do,and I don't know why you've been helping me.\" \"You want the truth?\" He smiled at me, and there was something sincere and sweet underlying. \"You piqued my curiosity.\" \"You risked your life for me because you were curious?\" I asked doubtfully. \"As soon as you came to,your only conern was for helping your friends, and you never stopped,\" Loki said. \"You were kind.

I fought for you.\" \"I am sorry,Wendy.\" His voice had gotten low and thick. He stepped closer and raised his hand as if he meant to touch me,but dropped it instead. \"But you will be happy with Tove. He can protect you.\" \"I wish everyone would stop talking about him that way!\" I sat back on the bed, exasperated. \"Tove is a person! This is his life! Doesn't he deserve better than being somebody's watchdog?\" \"I can imagine worse things in life than being married to you,\" Finn said quietly. \"Don't.\" I shook my head. \"Don't joke. Don't be nice.\" I glared up at him. \"You kept this from me. But worse still, you didn't fight for me.\" \"You know why I can't,Wendy.\" His dark eyes smoldered, and his fists clenched at his side. \"Now you know who you are and what you mean to the kingdom. I can't fight for something that isn't mine. Especially not when you mean so much to our people.\" \"You're right,Finn,I'm not yours.\" I nodded, looking down at the floor. \"I'm not anybody's. I have a choice in all of this, and so do you.But you have no right to take my choice away from me,to tell me who I should marry.\" \"I didn't arrange this marriage,\" Finn said incredulously. \"But you think I should marry him, and you've done nothing to stop it.\" I shrugged. \"You might as well have arranged it yourself.\" I wiped at my eyes, and he didn't say anything. I lay down on my bed and rolled over so my back was to him. After a few mintues, I heard him walk away and the door shut behind him.”",

I didn't know why exactly, but I felt compelled to, as if the scar connected us somehow. \"You just couldn't wait to get me naked, could you, Princess?\" Loki asked tiredly. I started to pull my hand back, but he put his own hand over it, keeping it in pace. \"No,I-I was checking for wounds,\" I stumbled. I wouldn't meet his gaze. \"I'm sure.\" He moved his thumb, almost caressing my hand, until it hit my ring. \"What's that?\" He tried to sit up to see it, so I lifted my hand, showing him the emerald-encrusted oval on my finger. \"Is that a wedding ring?\" \"No, engagement.\" I lowered my hand, resting it on the bed next to him. \"I'm not married yet.\" \"I'm not too late, then.\" He smiled and settled back in the bed. \"Too late for what?\" I asked. \"To stop you, of course.\" Still smiling, he closed his eyes. \"Is that why you're here?\" I asked, failing to point out how near we were to my nuptials. \"I told you why I'm here,\" Loki said. \"What happened to you, Loki?\" I asked, my voice growing thick when I thought about what he had to have gone through to get all those marks and bruises. \"Are you crying?\" Loki asked and opened his eyes. \"No, I'm not crying.\" I wasn't, but my eyes were moist. \"Don't cry.\" He tried to sit up, but he winced when he lifted his head, so I put my hand gently on his chest to keep him down. \"You need to rest,\" I said. \"I will be fine.\" He put his hand over mine again, and I let him. \"Eventually.\" \"Can you tell me what happened?\" I asked. \"Why do you need amnesty?\" \"Remember when we were in the garden?\" Loki asked. Of course I remembered. Loki had snuck in over the wall and asked me to run away with him. I had declined, but he'd stolen a kiss before he left, a rather nice kiss. My cheeks reddened slightly at the memory, and that make Loki smile wider. \"I see you do.\" He grinned. \"What does that have to do with anything?\" I asked. \" That doesn't,\" Loki said, referring to the kiss. \"I meant when I told you that the King hates me. He really does, Wendy.\" His eyes went dark for a minute. \"The Vittra King did this to you?\" I asked, and my stomach tightened. \"You mean Oren? My father?\" \"Don't worry about it now,\" he said, trying to calm the anger burning in my eyes. \"I'll be fine.\" \"Why?\" I asked. \"Why does the King hate you? Why did he do this to you?\" \"Wendy, please.\" He closed his eyes. \"I'm exhausted. I barely made it here. Can we have this conversation when I'm feeling a bit better? Say, in a month or two?\" \"Loki,\" I said with a sigh, but he had a point. \"Rest. But we will talk tomorrow. All right?\" \"As you wish, Princess,\" he conceded, and he was already drifting back to sleep again. I sat beside him for a few minutes longer, my hand still on his chest so I could feel his heartbeat pounding underneath. When I was certain he was asleep, I slid my hand out from under his, and I stood up.”",

His eyes, dark as night, met mine in the mirror, and I could hardly breathe. \"Finn!\" I gasped and whirled around to look at him. \"What are you doing here?\" \"I missed your birthday,\" he said, as if that answered my question. He lowered his eyes, looking at a small box he had in his hands. \"I got you something.\" \"You got me something?\" I leaned back on the dresser behind me, gripping it. \"Yeah.\" He nodded, still staring down at the box. \"I picked it up outside of Portland two weeks ago. I meant to get back in time to give it to you on your birthday.\" He chewed the inside of his cheek. \"But now that I'm here, I'm not sure I should give it to you at all.\" \"What are you talking about?\" I asked. \"It doesn't feel right.\" Finn rubbed his face. \"I don't even know what I'm doing here.\" \"Neither do I,\" I said. \"Don't get me wrong. I'm happy to see you. I just...I don't understand.\" \"I know.\" He sighed. \"It's a ring. What I got you.\" His gaze moved from me to the engagement ring sitting on the dresser beside me. \"And you already have one.\" \"Why did you get me a ring?\" I asked tentatively, and my heart beat erratically in my chest. I didn't know what Finn was saying or doing. \"I'm not proposing to you, if that's what you're asking.\" He shook his head. \"I saw it and thought of you. But now it seems like poor taste. And here I am, the night before your wedding sneaking in to give you a ring.\" \"Why did you sneak in?\" I asked. \"I don't know.\" He looked away and laughed darkly. \"That's a lie. I know exactly what I'm doing, but I have no idea why I'm doing it.\" \"What are you doing?\" I asked quietly. \"I...\" Finn stared off for a moment, then turned back to me and stood up. \"Finn, I-\" I began, but he held up his hand, stopping me. \"No, I know you're marrying Tove,\" he said. \"You need to do this. We both know that. It's what's best for you, and it's what I want for you.\" He paused. \"But I want you for myself too.\" All I'd ever wanted from Finn was for him to admit how he felt about me, and he'd waited until the day before my wedding. It was too late to change anything, to take anything back. Not that I could have, even if I wanted to. \"Why are you telling me this?\" I asked with tears swimming in my eyes. \"Because.\" Finn stepped toward me, stopping right in front of me. He looked down at me, his eyes mesmerizing me the way they always did. He reached up, brushing back a tear from my cheek. \"Why?\" I asked, my voice trembling. \"I needed you to know,\" he said, as if he didn't truly understand it himself. He set the box on the dresser beside me, and his hand went to my waist, pulling me to him. I let go of the dresser and let him. My breath came out shallow as I stared up at him. \"Tomorrow you will belong to someone else,\" Finn said. \"But tonight, you're with me.”",

My anger and resolution were fading, leaving me hopeful that Finn wouldn't really leave things this way. \"Once I'm out this window, lock it behind me,\" Finn commanded. \"Make sure all the doors are locked, and never go anywhere alone. Never go anyplace at night, and if at all possible, always take Matt and Rhys with you.\" He looked past me for a moment, thinking of something. \"Although neither of them are really good for much of anything...\" His dark eyes rested on mine once again. His expression was imploring, and he raised his hand as if he meant to touch my face, but he lowered it again. \"You must be careful.\" \"Okay,\" I promised him. With Finn standing right in front of me, I could feel the warmth of his body and smell his cologne. His eyes were locked on mine, and I remembered the way it felt when he tangled his fingers in my hair and held me so close to him I couldn't breathe. He was so strong and controlled. In the brief moments he allowed himself to let go of his passion with me, it was the most wonderfully suffocating feeling I'd ever had. I didn't want him to leave, and he didn't want to leave. But we had both made choices we were unwilling to change. He nodded once more, breaking eye contact, and then turned and slid out the window.”",

And wether I like or not, it is my home.\" \"I know that feeling all too well.\" I sighed. Though Forening was starting to feel more like home, I wasn't sure that it ever would completely. \"See?I told you,Princess.\" Loki's smile returned more easily. \"You and I aren't all that different.\" \"You say that like it means something.\" \"Doesn't it?\" \"No,not really. You're leaving today, going home to my enemies.\" I let out a deep breath, feeling an ache inside my chest. \"If I'm lucky,I'll never see you again.

I heard garrett summon me from down the hall, which meant that lunch was over and the meetings were about to start up. \"I have to get back.I'll see you when we make the exchange with the Vittra Queen.\" \"Good luck.\" Loki nodded.

I'll never fight you.That I can promise you.”",

I want one last quiet moment with you.\" \"No, Loki.\" I shook my head, but I didn't pull away. \"I told you that one night wasn't enough.\" Loki leaned down, kissing me deeply and pressing me to him. I didn't even attempt to resist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. It wasn't the way we had kissed before, not as hungry or fevered. This was something different, nicer. We were holding on to each other, knowing this might be the last time we could. It felt sweet and hopeful and tragic all at once. When he stopped kissing me he rested his forehead against mine. He breathed as if struggling to catch his breath. I reached up and touched his face, his skin smooth and cool beneath my hand. Loki lifted his head so he could look me in the eyes, and I saw something in them, something I'd never seen before. Something pure and unadulterated, and my heart seemed to grow with the warmth of my love for him. I don't know how it happened or when it had, but I knew it with complete certainty. I had fallen in love with Loki, more intensely than anything I had felt for anyone before. \"Wendy!\" Finn shouted, pulling me from my moment with Loki. \"What are you doing? You're married! And not to him!\" \"Nothing slips by you, does it?\" Loki asked. \"Finn,\" I said, and stepped away from Loki. \"Calm down.\" \"No!\" Finn yelled. \"I will not calm down! What were you thinking? We're about to go to war, and you're cheating on your husband?\" \"Everything's not exactly the way it seems,\" I said, but guilt and regret were gripping my stomach. My marriage might be over, but I was still technically wed to another man. And I should be worrying about things more important than kissing Loki. \"It seemed like you had your tongue down his throat.\" Finn glared at us both. \"Well, then, everything is exactly as it seems,\" Loki said glibly.”",

He kissed the top of my head, and I snuggled up closer to him. He'd been helping me at the palace, but he'd waited until we were alone in the car to be affectionate. Willa had raised an eyebrow at us, but she said nothing. Later on, back in Forening, I'd have a thousand questions from her. But for now, she let us have our moment together. \"I can't wait until we get home,\" I said. \" Home, ,\"Loki said and laughed a little. \"What?\" I lifted my head to look up at him. \"What's funny about that?\" \"Nothing.\" he shook his head. \"i just...I don't think I've ever really felt like I had a home before.\" He smiled down at me. \"Not until I met you.\" Loki leaned down, kissing my gently on the mouth. I'm sure he wanted to kiss me more deeply, but he was afraid of hurting me. He continued to kiss me tenderly, and I clung to him as tightly as I could as heat swirled through me. When he stopped, he rested his forehead against mine and breathed in deeply. \"I cannot wait to get home with you, Princess.\" \"I'm the Queen now, you know,\" I teased, and he laughed and kissed me again.”",

He stopped by the bedpost and absently touched my satin bedding. \"Being the chosen one for both sides in an epic troll battle?\" \"If anybody can handle it,you can,\" he reassured me. I looked up at him, and his eyes betrayed some of the warmth he felt for me. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and feel them wrap around me, protecting me like granite. To kiss his temple and cheeks,to feel his stubble rubbing against my skin. Despite how badly I wanted that-I wanted it so much I ached-I knew that I had to become a great Princess, which meant that I had to use some restraint. Even if the restraint killed me.”",

                        "text": "“A murmur ran through the crowd, and I looked around to see what all the fuss was about. Then I saw him, walking past table after table as if everybody weren't stopping to stare at him. Loki had ventured down from where he'd been hiding in the servants' quarters. Since I'd granted him amnesty, he was no longer being guarded and was free to roman as he pleased, but I hadn't exactly invited him to the wedding. As Tove and I danced, I didn't take my eyes off Loki. He walked around the dance floor toward the refreshments, but he kept watching me. He got a glass of champagne from the table, and even as he drank his eyes never left me. Another Markis came over and cut in to dance with me, but I barely noticed when I switched partners. I tried to focus on the person I was dancing with. But there was something about the way Loki looked at me, and I couldn't shake it. The song had switched to something contemporary, probably the sheet music that Willa had slipped the orchestra. She'd insisted the whole thing would be far too dull if they only played classical. The murmur died down, and people returned to dancing and talking. Loki took another swig of his champagne, then set the glass down and walked across the dance floor. Everyone parted around him, and I wasn't sure if it was out of fear or respect. He wore all black, even his shirt. I had no idea where he'd gotten the clothes, but he did look debonair. \"May I have this dance?\" Loki asked my dance partner, but his eyes were on me. \"Um, I don't know if you should,\" the Markis fumbled, but I was already moving away from him. \"No, it's all right,\" I said. Uncertainly, the Markis stepped back, and Loki took my hand. When he placed his hand on my back, a shiver ran up my spine, but I tried to hide it and put my hand on his shoulder. \"You know, you weren't invited to this,\" I told him, but he merely smirked as we began dancing. \"So throw me out.\" \"I might.\" I raised my head defiantly, and that only made him laugh. \"If it's as the Princess wishes,\" he said, but he made no move to step away, and for some odd reason, I felt relieved.”",

                        "text": "“The doors burst open, startling me awake. I nearly jumped out of bed. Tove groaned next to me, since I did this weird mind-slap thing whenever I woke up scared, and it always hit him the worst. I'd forgotten about it because it had been a few months since the last time it happened. \"Good morning, good morning, good morning,\" Loki chirped, wheeling in a table covered with silver domes. \"What are you doing?\" I asked, squinting at him. He'd pulled up the shades. I was tired as hell, and I was not happy. \"I thought you two lovebirds would like breakfast,\" Loki said. \"So I had the chef whip you up something fantastic.\" As he set up the table in the sitting area, he looked over at us. \"Although you two are sleeping awfully far apart for newlyweds.\" \"Oh, my god.\" I groaned and pulled the covers over my head. \"You know, I think you're being a dick,\" Tove told him as he got out of bed. \"But I'm starving. So I'm willing to overlook it. This time.\" \"A dick?\" Loki pretended to be offended. \"I'm merely worried about your health. If your bodies aren't used to strenuous activities, like a long night of lovemaking, you could waste away if you don't get plenty of protein and rehydrate. I'm concerned for you.\" \"Yes, we both believe that's why you're here,\" Tove said sarcastically and took a glass of orange juice that Loki had poured for him. \"What about you, Princess?\" Loki's gaze cut to me as he filled another glass. \"I'm not hungry.\" I sighed and sat up. \"Oh, really?\" Loki arched an eyebrow. \"Does that mean that last night-\" \"It means that last night is none of your business,\" I snapped. I got up and hobbled over to Elora's satin robe, which had been left on a nearby chair. My feet and ankles ached from all the dancing I'd done the night before. \"Don't cover up on my account,\" Loki said as I put on the robe. \"You don't have anything I haven't seen.\" \"Oh, I have plenty you haven't seen,\" I said and pulled the robe around me. \"You should get married more often,\" Loki teased. \"It makes you feisty.\" I rolled my eyes and went over to the table. Loki had set it all up, complete with a flower in a vase in the center, and he'd pulled off the domed lids to reveal a plentiful breakfast. I took a seat across from Tove, only to realize that Loki had pulled up a third chair for himself. \"What are you doing?\" I asked. \"Well, I went to all the trouble of having someone prepare it, so I might as well eat it.\" Loki sat down and handed me a flute filled with orange liquid. \"I made mimosas.\" \"Thanks,\" I said, and I exchanged a look with Tove to see if it was okay if Loki stayed. \"He's a dick,\" Tove said over a mouthful of food, and shrugged. \"But I don't care.\" In all honesty, I think we both preferred having Loki there. He was a buffer between the two of us so we didn't have to deal with any awkward morning-after conversations. And though I'd never admit it aloud, Loki made me laugh, and right now I needed a little levity in my life. \"So, how did everyone sleep last night?\" Loki asked. There was a quick knock at the bedroom doors, but they opened before I could answer. Finn strode inside, and my stomach dropped. He was the last person I'd expected to see. I didn't even think he would be here anymore. After the other night I assumed he'd left, especially when I didn't see him at the wedding. \"Princess, I'm sorry-\" Finn started to say as he hurried in, but then he saw Loki and stopped abruptly. \"Finn?\" I asked, stunned. Finn looked appalled and pointed at Loki. \"What are you doing here?\" \"I'm drinking a mimosa.\" Loki leaned back in his chair. \"What are you doing here?\" \"What is he doing here?\" Finn asked, turning his attention to me. \"Never mind him.\" I waved it off. \"What's going on?\" \"See, Finn, you should've told me when I asked,\" Loki said between sips of his drink.”",

When I asked her why she was being so generous, she said it was out of fear that I would run around naked.\" I smiled. \"That does sound like something you would do. Why are you wearing all black, though? Didn't you know you were going to a wedding?\" \"On the contrary,\" he said, doing his best to look unhappy. \"I'm in mourning over the wedding.\" \"Oh, because it's too late?\" I asked. \"No, Wendy, it's never too late.\" His voice was light, but his eyes were solemn. \"May I cut in?\" the best man asked. \"No, you may not,\" Loki said. I'd started to move away from him, but he held fast. \"Loki,\" I said, and my eyes widened. \"I'm still dancing with her,\" Loki said, turning to look at him. \"You can have her when I'm done.\" \"Loki,\" I said again, but he was already twirling me away. \"You can't do that.\" \"I just did.\" He grinned. \"Oh, Wendy, don't look so appalled. I'm already the rebel Prince of thine enemy. I can't do much more to tarnish my image.\" \"You can certainly tarnish mine,\" I pointed out. \"Never,\" Loki said, and it was his turn to look appalled. \"I'm merely showing them how it's done.\" He began spinning me around the dance floor in grand arcs, my gown swirling around me. He was a brilliant dancer, moving with grace and speed. Everyone had stopped to watch us, but I didn't care. This was the way a Princess was supposed to dance on her wedding day. The song ended, switching to something by Mozart, and he slowed, almost to a stop, but he kept me in his arms. \"Thank you.\" I smiled. My skin felt flushed from dancing, and I was a little out of breath. \"That was a wonderful dance.\" \"You're welcome,\" he said, staring intently at me. \"You are so beautiful.\" \"Stop,\" I said, looking away as my cheeks reddened. \"How can you blush?\" Loki asked, laughing gently. \"People must tell you how beautiful you are a thousand times a day.\" \"It's not the same,\" I said. \"It's not the same?\" Loki echoed. \"Why? Because you know they don't mean it like I do?\" We did stop dancing them, and neither of us said anything. Garrett came up to us. He smiled, but his eyes didn't appear happy. \"Can I cut in?\" Garrett asked. \"Yes,\" Loki said, shaking off the intensity he'd had a moment ago, and grinned broadly at Garrett. \"She's all yours, good sir. Take care of her.\" He patted Garrett on the arm once for good measure and gave me a quick smile before heading back over to the refreshment table.”",

But you can stay here. I will grant you amnesty.\" \"Mmm, I knew it.\" He smiled. \"You'd miss me too much if I left.\" I laughed. \"Hardly.\" \"Hardly?\" Loki smirked. He'd lowered his arm, so his hand was on my waist. Loki was incredibly near, and his muscles pressed against me. I knew that I should move away, that I had no justifiable reason to be this close to him, but I didn't move. \"Would you?\" Loki asked, his voice low. \"Would I what?\" \"Would you run away with me, if you didn't have all the responsibilities and the palace and all that?\" \"I don't know,\" I said. \"I think you would.\" \"Of course you do.\" I looked away from him, but I didn't move away. \"Where did you get the pajamas, by the way? You didn't bring anything with you when you came.\" \"I don't want to tell you.\" \"Why not?\" I looked sharply at him. \"Because.

If I've given you amnesty, that means I have to go about enacting it, and getting everyone to agree that it's not a suicidal decision.\" \"Thank you.\" \"You're welcome,\" I said and opened the door to go. \"It was worth it,\" Loki said suddenly. \"What was?\" I turned back to him. \"Everything I went through,\" he said. \"For you. It was worth it.”",

You need to stop dragging me around and telling me what to do.\" \"Loki?\" Finn stopped so he could glare suspiciously at me. \"You're on a first-name basis with the Vittra prisoner who kidnapped you? And you're lecturing me on propriety?\" \"I'm not lecturing you on anything!\" I shouted, and I finally got my arm free from him. \"But if I were to lecture you, it would be about how you're being such a jerk.\" \"Hey,maybe you should just calm-\" Duncan tried to interject. He'd been standing a few feet away from us, looking sheepish and worried. \"Duncan,don't you dare tell me how to do my job!\" Finn stabbed a finger at him. \"You are the most useless, incompetent tracker I have ever met, and first chance I get,I'm going to recommend that the Queen dismiss you. And trust me, I'm doing you a favor. She should have you banished!\" Duncan's entire face crumpled, and for a horrible moment I was certain he would cry. Instead,he just gaped at us, then lowered his eyes and nodded. \" Finn! \" I yelled, wanting to slap him. \"Duncan did nothing wrong!\" Duncan turned to walk away, and I tried to stop him. \"Duncan,no. You don't need to go anywhere.\" He kept walking, and I didn't go after him. Maybe I should have,but I wanted to yell at Finn some more. \"He repeatedly left you alone with the Vittra!\" Finn shouted. \"I know you have a death wish, but it's Duncan's job to prevent you from acting on it.\" \"I am finding out more about the Vittra so I can stop this ridiculous fighting!\" I shot back. \"So I've been interviewing a prisoner. It's not that unusual,and I've been perfectly safe.\" \"Oh,yeah, 'interviewing,'\" Finn scoffed. \"You were flirting with him.\" \"Flirting?\" I repeated and rolled my eyes. \"You're being a dick because you think I was flirting?
