ODINSON! Whatever trick or spell has brought me here, I know it was your doing. I will not be toyed with, craven! Come whence the shadows you hide in or I will hunt you down and drag you out of them, and I will not be gentle.

You think yourself king of Asgard? Then face me like a warrior of Asgard. I would see you answer for your deceits and treachery!

[ It sends an immediate chill through the pit of his stomach, and he thinks of the Jotunn warriors in Asgard, thinks of any way his treachery could be traced.

No. He covered his tracks exquisitely. There is no one who could possibly have known. This must just be paranoia, and anger stirs, following the flash of fear. That she would assume -- ! Of a Prince of Asgard, too.

..unless she spoke of Thor?

No. Impossible.

He snaps his fingers and tinges the cave's fire green. ]

[ When the video comes on, the light is green on his skin, and his eyes near glow with it. ]

Speak clear, my lady. I know not of what you speak.

[ Does he think to cow her with his display of power? If she weren't so wroth she'd laugh at him for even trying so childish a trick. ]

Do not try to play the innocent when you are anything but. With Gungnir at your disposal, tampering with the Bifrost would be but child's play.

[ Side-eyeing. ] I believe Gungnir is securely in the hand of the All-Father, and that it has not strayed in a hundred years.

Lies securely in your hand as the Allfather sleeps, you mean.

If you are to accuse me, Sif, perhaps you should find something I have done.

Do you deny you that it was you who led three jotuns into Asgard the day of Thor's coronation, and then with silver words seeded in him the idea to defy the Allfather and lead us to Jotunheim?

[ Even those Jotunns didn't know who it was who lead them. Sif cannot be sure. ]

Must I deny an accusation so baseless?

You do me great insult, Lady Sif.

I have no patience for your games, Loki. Answer me plainly.

Then have you this: you accuse me of treason with no cause. How could I have stolen Gungnir, cast Father into sleep, when I have been here for weeks now? When the Bifrost interrupted my own journey to Jotunnheim and cast me to shores unfamiliar to my eyes?

I demand regress, and apology.

What lies you spin, Silvertongue! Well you know that the Allfather fell into the Odinsleep after our return from the trip to Jotunheim that saw your brother banished and you conveniently placed to sit upon the empty throne.

[ A startled breath. ]

What?

[ There's something - the way his breath catches, that slip in his mask - that makes her wonder maybe, maybe - but she remembers how he'd looked towering dark and ominous and cold above them in the throne room, and she crushes the uncertainty like an insect beneath her heel. ]

Do you deny your guilt?

With all my heart. Thor, banished, the All-Father asleep -- Gungnir came to me by succession?

Your heart, which carries in it all your jealousy of Thor? You expect me to believe that when I know well your talent for lies.

And you believe I want him banished?

Why else do you refuse to allow him to return?

I refused nothing!

My memory is not so poor that I would forget the audience given earlier this day by your kingly self.

And I was never king!

Sif, I have been here. I was pushed from the Bifrost by a girl's primitive craft. I landed in this forest, and left you and the Three alone with Thor to take Jotunnheim.

Why won't you listen?

[ There it is again, that uncertainty, and she hates it. He is not the smug, untouchable king now. ]

It is not that I will not listen, but that I do not believe you! How can I possibly? You were there with us on Jotunheim when we nearly died. You admitted to telling the guard to alert the Allfather we were going and where. And you have not been the same since we returned.

And you, in all your cleverness, never bothered to check for an impostor.

I am to believe an impostor could deceive the queen? You do your mother great insult with such a suggestion.

With Thor gone and the Royal Family in tumult? I am not the only practiced liar in the Nine Realms.

Yet you still remain the one with the most to gain.

[ a thread of doubt. pause. ]

Laufey said the House of Odin was full of traitors. Only a great master of magic could deceive Heimdall's sight.
