“You don't know what you speak of, little human.”She hissed, glaring at Loki,”Control your pet, or I will.”
“Sigyn, you will not speak to her that way.”Loki said simply.
“I shall speak to her however I feel,”Sigyn said, her smile sickly sweet as she watched the two before me,”Did you tell her about us, or does she just live in bliss, thinking she is loving a God, simple and sweet.”
“She knows what she must, and she is not ignorant of who I am, little nymph.”
“I'm sure she isn't...as she seems so ready to please you, so quick to defend, she must know so much.”
“Know more then you ever will...”Felicity mumbled angrily.
“Are you sure little mortal...a century can do many things, reveal more then you'll ever experience.”Sigyn hissed.
“Oh?”Felicity asked, smiling sweetly,”Tell me then...what makes you better then me for him?”
“I wont die from old age.”Sigyn said simply, her body radiating anger,”I have been through the worst and have not backed down.”
“And did you ever try and give him a better option....a better path, or did you just go along with whatever he wanted?”Felicity asked, smiling wickedly.
“I did as my lover needed me to do, what he wanted me to do, that's what a good woman does.”
“No, a good woman helps turn the worst in her man, into something better.”Felicity said simply, which earned her a smack across the face.
Sigyn was a nymph, and her nails were like razors as they came across Felicity's face, leaving small scratches that trickled some blood. Felicity stood there, only for a moment, in complete shock, before she turned, looking around at everyone, who seemed utterly shocked at the nymph's behavior in the great hall. Well, they were about to be really shocked here in about two seconds. Before Loki could pull Felicity away, as if he sensed what she was going to do, she clenched her hand into a fist, and slammed it into the other woman's face with a grunt. Sigyn stumbled back for a moment, reaching up to grab her cheek, her bright green eyes shocked and wide.
“Do not try anything with me.”Felicity said simply,”He is mine, and nothing your pretty little mouth can or will say, is going to change that.”
“Felicity.”Loki said, taking her arm and pulling her close, trying to ease her into calming down, though to hear her take claim in front of everyone was flattering, she couldn't go around punching people over it either.
“I'm sorry.”She said, loudly enough for everyone to hear,”I'm sorry for acting out in such a manner.”
“Sigyn,”Odin called out, standing as everyone in the room fell silent,”What is the meaning of this atrocity?”
“All Father...”She began, before Frigga also stood, holding her hand up, causing the nymph to fall silent.
“You know exactly what this is about, and you will stand before us and deny it?”Frigga asked, as if seeing right though what the woman was going to say,”Shall I then call you a liar and a whore?”
“You shall call me no such things,”Sigyn tried to argue, looking a little nervous all of a sudden.
“You attack this woman, my sons woman, in front of me, and I am to stand back and say nothing?”Frigga asked, arching an eyebrow as she moved forward,”You have your facts very wrong, my son did not leave you anywhere, you...you were the one found with his cousin in your bed, you were the one that pushed him from a tower, you were the one that sat back and let my son do terrible things, never once trying to reason with him, because you simply found his antics humorous.”
“I did what any good woman should do, stand by her lover's choices, no matter the cost.”Sigyn cried out, trying to argue with Frigga.
“No...”Frigga snapped, silencing the woman at once,”That is not how it works, a woman is strong, a woman is willing to do what it takes to make what is hers that much better, give him guidence when he is lost,”
“I-I...”Sigyn started before looking at Felicity,”It doesn't matter...everything thinks you're so wonderful, don't they.”
“I'm me...you don't like it you can kiss my a-...”She said before Loki placed a hand over her mouth, smiling sheepishly.
“You will not make it out of Asgard, little mortal.”Sigyn said simply, before turning and disappearing into the crowd before anything more could be done.
“What was that for?”Felicity asked, as Loki finally let her speak again.
“Watch your tongue...while as my mother is right, about how a woman should be, there is still somethings a lady of the court should not say.”Loki chided lightly.
“Oh...”Felicity said before nodding her head.
“You are brave, little human.”Frigga called out, her eyebrows still raised as she watched the dark haired woman before her,”To call Loki your own in front of all of us, not many are so...casual with the term.”
“I-...”Felicity started, wondering if she should apologize, or figure out what she had said wrong, before shaking her head,”I would say that I'm sorry for being so brash, but I'm not, he is mine, as much as I am his.”
“Very good.”Frigga answered lightly, giving a small nod of approval before taking her seat.
It didn't take long before everyone was back to enjoying themselves as if nothing had happened. She could still hear whispers, catch small glances as she continued to dance with Loki, but it didn't bother her. She had simply done what she thought, in her own right mind, needed to be done. This wasn't a game to her, and she would not take pity on someone stupid enough to let the man in front of her go.
The night carried on, and Felicity found herself surprised that so many people were still partying hard, despite the late hour turning into early morning. She was beginning to get tired, and had been smart enough to stay away from any alcohol that was served during the evening's festivities. Loki glanced and saw her yawn, before wrapping his arm around her carefully.
“Let us retire.”He suggested, before kissing the her hair.
“Good idea,”She mumbled as she rested herself against him.
Odin and Frigga had already left, and Thor was nearly in black out mode, so no one really was there to notice that they were leaving. Loki lead her down the long hallway, Felicity looking around as they did so. It was the same hallway as before, however she was still astonished by how everything looked. It was so beautiful.
“My mother seems pleased with you,”Loki noted lightly as they entered his room.
“I noticed.”Felicity said with a small laugh,”She makes me nervous.”
“She is the Queen of Asgard, stronger then most goddesses in this realm, she should.”Loki told her, grinning as he scooped her up and moved towards his huge bed,”She is far more judgmental then my father...to see that she approves of your actions tonight, says many things.”
“Well, I'm just glad that I didn't cause problems, because I was far beyond angry at the way that woman was talking.”Felicity said as Loki pushed back the canopy of the bed and laid her down.
“Might I ask you something?”He asked, tilting his head.
“What is that, my darling?”She asked, smiling up at him.
“Would you ever consider...”He said, looking down for a moment and then back up to her,”Having more then just this?”
“What do you mean?”She asked as she sat up a little, raising an eyebrow,”This is good, right?”
“Yes...very good,”Loki agreed, before thinking of how he should say what he meant,”You claimed that I was yours...that you were mine...would you be willing...would you ever want to...bind those words, make them oaths?”
“Are you asking me to marry you?”She asked, her heart stopping dead right there, her eyes going just slightly wide,”Did you really...are you serious?”
“It was just a thought to entertain,”Loki quickly said, looking at her, she seemed beyond upset.
“I-I...I mean...”Felicity stumbled, before shaking her head, swallowing hard,”We don't even....it hasn't...”
“Spit it out.”Loki said, his tone harsher then he had intended.
“Are you just asking me, as a way to keep your ex at bay, because I'm not up for playing rebound.”Felicity said as she looked up at him.
“Of course not...why would you think that?”
“Gee I wonder...”She grumbled, rubbing her face,”We've barely been together a month, as an actual couple...why rush?”
“Why not?”Loki replied, raising an eyebrow
