I sigh to myself walking inside my room, it was the same as when I left. Nothing had changed whatsoever. I look at the various photos on the walls, all of Loki and me on our various expeditions around Asgard. I miss the days of adventure and exploration with him when he wasn't being a mischievous god.

With a small smile, I open the closet doors to find my armour, newly shined and standing on the pedestal that residing in the centre amongst all my casual and formal Asgardian outfits. I strip from my Midgardian clothes and replace them with the armour I had missed so much.

"Much better," I say as I look in the mirror before equipping my sword and holster to my belt and opening my door again before walking out again.

I shut my door behind me before I walk down the hallway to Loki's chambers, I lightly knock on the door as a couple of guards walk past me.

"Enter," Loki's voice sounds from outside the door and due to the roaming guards, my natural instinct is to be formal with him.

"I have been informed by Prince Thor that there is to be a ceremony this evening that you must attend," I say as I open the door and look at him.

"What is the ceremony for?" he asks insisting I explain it in depth, he knows how much I despise being formal with him so the smirk on his face was a definite hint that he wants to annoy me.

"The ceremony is to welcome me back to Asgard and to return my ranking as the royal guard and commander," I state looking at him through narrow eyes before I step inside and shut the door, "I hate you some days, Loki."

"Only some days? I'm losing my touch then," He says with a soft chuckle "Though, I know you missed my presence after you left, especially because you are still wearing the necklace I gave you so long ago."

"Doesn't mean what I said on Midgard doesn't still stand. Unless you prove you aren't the same man I left all those years ago, that will be the way I see you. I may have kept you from being imprisoned but that doesn't mean my thoughts on you and your actions have changed," I say looking at him and watching as he stands up from his bed and stalks over to me.

"You know I am not the same, what I did was merely to get you to come home to show you who I truly am. I have given up my attempts at ruling Asgard, I merely want to prove my loyalty to you," he says in a whisper as he pins me against the wall.

"Prince Loki, I respectfully request you step back before I am forced to take this matter into my own hands," I warn politely becoming instantly formal.

"You will come to love me again, maybe not today but soon you will," he says taking a step back from me.
