Dressed and bejewled, I smooth the flowing cocktail-length dress with poof and flair at the knees, black as midnight. The off-the-shoulder top accentuates the diamonds chocker collar and matching earrings. I approach the doors of the resturant and stop. I see Freyja and Heimdall enter the doors of the resurant to great acclaim. I hang back, knowing an entrance following that would never do. I have to change tact to have effect tonight in this glittering hall of gods and goddess. A large splash will not do at this point,and it would serve no purpose but to feed my vainity. Damn, Freyja, all of us look like dirty peasants around her. Well,I'll prove my worth in other ways tonight and I bet Odin is having a heart attack as we speak.
A smile crosses my faces as I go around to the side entrance of the resturant and take the elevator up to the mezzanine floor. Let's see what I can hear bejore appetizers are served.
I walk up behind Loki and Odin's table see Loki with a look of maliciousness crossing his face. "Between you and me, I'd dump Sigyn for a few minutes with Freyja."
I feel my face flush at hearing those words and I quickly swallow. I tell myself Loki is only saying that to get Odin's goat, he must be. I stand there for a few minutes not even hearing what they are talking about till I cool my scarlet cheeks. Time to put a lovely bubble in my walk and talk.
"Darling and Odin, how are you tonight?"
Odin looks up his eyes flicker in annoyance at letting another distraction intervene to the business at hand. I cannot look at Loki quite yet. He can read me like a book and would laugh mercilessly if he thought I was showing any weakness at all.
"Have a glass of champagne for me Odie dear?"
