Chaotic Garden

[Tuyet]

(To continue the rather meme like naming of threads involving Eris)

Eris and Loki arrive in Asgard, to be more precise, within a garden which is near the wall surrounding the home of the gods.

"At least we didn't land in Valhalla itself from seemingly no where," Loki remarks with a slight laugh. "There'd be a few more questions asked than I'd like."

A goddess in a light grey dress looks over at the two of them from a window next to the garden in puzzlement when she hears a voice, then says shyly, "H-hello? Would you two like to come in?"

[Alethia]

"Uh sure," Eris says, scratching her head. "Who are you, might I ask? My name's Eris."

[Tuyet]

"I'm Sigyn..." the woman answers.

Loki grins. "Sigyn! Good that you're home. Don't worry, it's just me."

Sigyn looks a bit puzzled, then jumps slightly. "Loki?! What happened to you?"

"Ahaha... it's a long story."

[Alethia]

"An amusing one too," Eris laughed. "Pleasure to meet you, Sigyn. I'm just lying low from my parents if you don't mind. I think I'll go back later though. I'm almost curious to see what punishment they're cooking up for me."

[Tuyet]

Sigyn just shakes her head, and waves them inside before asking Eris, "You are going to try to make up for it, right?"

"While you two get aquainted, I'll get ready to take you to a round of drinks. Valhalla should be at least as good as anywhere else," Loki remarks with a laugh as he makes his way inside toward his room. "Now don't give Sigyn a heart-attack, ok?"

[Alethia]

"I won't," she calls out to Loki. To Sigyn, she says simply, "I don't see why I should. Nothing would have happened had Zeus learned to keep his pants on. Besides, he lied." She looked indignant. "The nerve! As if I give a fig about how he and mother's marriage holds up."

[Tuyet]

"Why don't you?" asks Sigyn, looking puzzled. "I thought children where supposed to care about the happiness and stability of their family..."

[Alethia]

"Oh those two have a love-hate relationship," Eris snorted with a roll of her eyes. "To be honest, seeing them have spats and then patch things up only to fall apart again is rather amusing." She cackled softly, then cleared her throat. "So, tell me Sigyn, does that mean Asgard is a giant, happy family?"

[Tuyet]

"No, not really... but I wish it were so." Sigyn sighs, then continues, "The Asgardians often fight, but usually it would seem there is at least something to gain from the fights even if only the experience needed to hold their own at Ragnarok..." She shakes her head as if to clear it, then asks, "Is there anywhere you want to see while here?"

Meanwhile, Loki returns from his room carrying an ornate sword in an equally ornate sheath and dressed as a man. Smiling a bit too broadly, he listens to the conversation, and thinks for a few moments about what the results of his creation entering mortal hands.

[Alethia]

"Eh, no," Eris admitted. "And, frankly, I should be going. I did leave the others hanging and they deserve to know the results of our plan. So I bid you farewell." Waving, she took a single step and disappeared in the wormhole that opened up beneath her.
