[By some miracle of ~~being better prepared for nonsense because she just took a trip to the land of nonsense not two hours ago~~ ~~poking at buttons incessantly and almost breaking her watch before spotting someone in the hallways operating it and copying them~~ nature, Sif has managed to turn on the recording. But 75% of the population might regret it, when they're treated to the angriest look ever.] Loki.

[You know how some people can communicate with one word things like I was gone for two hours, and you left Asgard go to the dumps, what the hell is wrong with you? Yes.] Am I to believe that in the blink of an eye you have brought so much destruction onto Asgard that we are forced to not only ask for reinforcements, but force them? What trick is this?

Show yourself, and face the consequences of your choices, as a good King would. [There is a pause.] Or is this to be my punishment... [Let's talk about traitors to the Throne, shall we? Aha mhm. Nope.] If this is the result of your reign, then all the fewer reasons to regret my choice.

[One more pause. Hold on. Wait for it. Wait. For. I-] That note was stupid.

[ooc; AND hello.]

[Long, long silence.]

He will want more.

He will take what he is allowed, and so I swear to you, Sif, he will be grateful. He will crawl and he will beg and he will make his amends, and I will break his every bone of its madness, if I must. He has no say. He has no claim. He has nothing.

It seems he still has you.

He has nothing.

[Some non-committal sound here. Then, pause. Then,]

When he was King, I - we - disobeyed to come and get you. Did we wrong?

Wrong whom?

Asgard.

I cannot say. Who knows the king Loki may have proven myself? Perhaps... tempered. Wise. At peace, with command in hand. You wish me to say he would have done Asgard injustice: perhaps. And perhaps not so.

...I do wonder, then. [Self-blame in 3, 2,...]

You think I do not? Where have we failed him? What words more need have been spoken? What gesture done? What slight removed?

[A nod of understanding. And then-] All we have done has already been done. Lingering on it has no point.

It has one and it stands sharp: good Fandral's beard.

[...snorts.] He must stroke it very often for it to stand that way.

It is robust and ever-upright on its own.

[Still discussing beards, always discussing beards.]

And ever worthy of your admiration, I see.

A man cannot offend what he has touched.

No, a man cannot. [Snort.] But a woman can.

Perhaps it is too much for you to handle.

I am not afraid of his beard, Thor.

Yet if you were, I would not hold it against you.

Friend Fandral wishes.

Friend Fandral wonders whether the Lady doth protest too much?

Does friend Fandral not have a beard to stroke somewhere else?

If I am not mistaken, the Lady Sif is the one bringing it into casual conversation. I can only understand this as either a mark of awe or amorosity.

It was Thor who brought it up first.

[HI, I'M LADY SIF I'M FIVE.]
