Tea with a Trickster ((for Thor))

[coldsong]

The first message that arrives to Thor via PINpoint is a snapshot of what is clearly a picture drawn by one or more of the children. Loki may have helped with the lettering. You are cordially invited, it reads, to a Frost Giant Tea Party, hosted by Sigrid Lokidottir, this afternoon at the Big Hall. There are coordinates written on the bottom, and there are a lot of blue heart stickers all over the page.

A moment later, some texts follow:

Sigrid has had a difficult week. She's begun learning magic, and attempted to shapeshift on her own. And she's a bit stuck just now. I'm working on untangling it, but in the meantime she's impressively large and quite blue.

I'm sure you're busy but it would make them all very happy to see you.

And I have apple cider as well, since I know how you feel about tea.

There are any number of people who would be thrilled to have a tea party with the children, he knows, and none that would make Sigrid feel awkward about the magical misstep, but sometimes it's best to just appreciate family bonds.

Besides, he's spending the day in Jotun form too, and it'll be fun to be taller than Thor for a while.

(And maybe the reassurance of seeing Thor basically comfortable around his hulking blue form is something he needs from time to time as well.)

Thor's eyebrows climb ever higher as he reads the message, intrigued (if slightly alarmed) at Sigrid's mishap. But it sounds as though she's in good spirits - or will be, if he shows up - so he sends back a message in return.

Of course. I will be there shortly.

It seems only polite to bring something along, of course. With the harvest underway, there is no shortage of options, but in the end the choice is rather straightforward. The jar of honey he chooses is small and unlabeled, suitably sized for a gift to family.

Well. Family when they're the usual size, anyway. No telling right now, is there?

The light of the Bifrost illuminates Loki's garden, setting down precisely on the same runes it had inscribed before.
