Loki didn't catch her lie. "What a Beautiful Name. Mora." Loki never seemed to stop grinning. He was still smiling as he grabbed Mora's hand. "Come with me. Let's finish your walk, together. I have some time before I must return back home so let's enjoy the rest of this glorious sun before it disappears for the night. Shall we Darling?" 

Mora nodded and they started on their way. With his hands behind his back, grasping his own hands, he walked beside Mora. Mora's hands still folded nicely in front of her waist. The sun continued to disappear beyond the horizon.  Something about this girl, grasped Loki's interest. As they walked, he would look beside him, but never moved his head, only his eyes. He would glance at her, admiring her. 

Understanding that she could never really become attached to anyone, she kept her eyes in front of her, and her thoughts and gaze upon the reflection of the water's edge. Occasionally, Loki would slowly edge closer and closer to Mora's side, but never enough to touch.

From the distance, they were being watched. From the balcony of her bedroom window, Loki's mother Frigga had eye's upon them. A small grin approached her mouth as she watched. Her little boy was finally opening up to others, and in this matter, a woman. But what she didn't know, was this may never become a thing. 

As the night became darker and the stars beyond the oceans edge near the Bifrost started to appear more and more as the sun disappeared. They stopped and admired the night sky. 

"Such a wonderful night...." Loki began. Mora nodded slightly. "Shall we continue or would you like me to walk you home?" 

"I believe we should call it a night. I must get up early...in the morning....and do house-ly....chores" Mora had to think up more to her lie quickly and stuttered a bit but once more. Loki never caught on or at least didn't show that he did. "But I can walk myself. I am a big girl." Mora smiled jokingly. 

Loki nodded and bowed a bit towards her, showing that he understand and wasn't going to push the issue. "Very Well....." He leaned into her, and started moving towards her mouth but stopped and reached for her hand once more, kissing the top with respect. "Goodnight dear Mora. We shall have to do this again." He smiled. 

"Yes...." Mora began. "I shall see you again soon....My Prince." Curtsying towards him, he nodded once more and  began walked back towards the castle. Mora felt odd. She couldn't meet with him again. She had bigger issues to deal with than get tangled up in Asgardian "love".

Mora began walking in the opposite direction of Loki, she headed towards the Bifrost. 

As Loki entered the gate, into the castle, his Mother was there to greet him. 

"Good Evening my son, who was the woman you were talking to?" Frigga smiled. Loki blushed a bit but kept his composer. 

"She said her name was Mora. She is a fascinating one. Very distant and estrange but fascinating." Frigga seemed confused at this point. The name Mora hit a bell that she wasn't sure was a good or bad sign.

"Mora? She did say what her last name happened to be?" Loki shrugged. "Idwachover. But I doubt it is. She seemed to stumble a bit with it so I have a feeling it's not correct as she states but you never know mother." Frigga shook her head a bit.

"Be careful Loki. Please. You and I of all people know that not everyone is whom they seem." Loki rolled his eyes a bit at her.

"I can handle myself. There is nothing to worry about. I felt no threatening presence with her." Loki then walked towards Frigga, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I am going to bed Mother. I will see you in the morning." After that being said, he made his way down the corridor and towards his area of study. His bedroom. Frigga stood behind her son, thinking in doubt.
