He nodded.

And of course they were all off...somewhere. Never quite part of the group, Loki said nothing further about it.

"I'm sure you were victorious all the same."

[fiercestwarrior]

"It was a close thing, but yes."

After a moment of thoughtful silence, she added:

"It may well have gone better had you been there to aid us."

She did not put the same amount of trust in Loki as Thor did, but that did not mean she was unaware of the fact that his particular skill set often proved to be quite useful in dangerous situations.

[asgard_trickster]

"Maybe."

Likely. But his contributions were rarely recognized by his brother.

He watched her for a moment. Of Thor's four closest friends - and he did think of them as 'Thor's friends' - she was the one he respected the most, but felt the least connection to.

"I'm sure you'll be sparring again in no time."

[fiercestwarrior]

"That is my hope."

Or she would go mad with boredom and that would not be pleasant for anyone who had to deal with her.

She offered him a small smile.

"Perhaps you and I will go a few rounds."

[asgard_trickster]

That invitation caught him off guard.

"...You and I?"

[fiercestwarrior]

"Well, why not?"

Loki was perhaps not her favourite person in all of Asgard, he was a little too fond of trickery and deceit for her to be comfortable around him, but she did not think him incapable of offering her a challenge, and she did not have to like someone to spar with them.

[asgard_trickster]

"Why not, indeed. Though I expect it will be rather a different sort of challenge than you're accustomed to."

[fiercestwarrior]

"I am not unaccustomed to trickery simply because I do not make much use of it myself."

[asgard_trickster]

"I do not mean trickery; I mean finesse over brute strength."

It had not escaped the Prince's sense of irony that he, a man, fought in a style traditionally wielded by women while the Lady Sif fought in a style traditionally wielded by men.

"It requires a sense of timing and a lightness of foot."

[fiercestwarrior]

"Are you telling me these are qualities I do not possess?"

She would have been more than willing to prove him wrong on that score if that was indeed what he was implying, had it not been for the fact that she could not get out of her bed.

[asgard_trickster]

"You are not nearly so oafish and clumsy as my brother, but your style is similar," he teased.

[fiercestwarrior]

She huffed at that, and then winced a little since it made her cracked ribs hurt.

"Oh, I'd show you how clumsy I am if I could move."

[asgard_trickster]

"If only." He bowed with a flourish. "Until then," he said with a smirk, turning to head for the door.
