"Easier to accept or harder to dismiss?" The meaning behind her words was not hard to decipher, after all. Frigga had ensured that with all of her planning that this would not be a decision to be turned down lightly. To do so would be paramount to spitting in the face of all the trust she had fought for and would damage further the already weak understanding of peace between the two realms. She would like him to believe that this was not a contract she could force him into, but he knew as well as she did that he was virtually powerless to deny it.
The beginnings of a sneer on his mouth was unavoidable. "Was it your hope, by chance, that you would be able to ply him with my agreement should you be so lucky to gain it? Was I to help you persuade him of the soundness of your proposal?"
His words did not bring him enjoyment to say and they left behind a lingering bitterness on his tongue that would not be done away with easily, but they weren't, he felt, unnecessary either. Loki was sure that Frigga had grossly overestimated the benefits to this idea of hers and he refused to be silent about it.
"Or are you only hoping he would be relieved enough that you have planned this for me and not Thor that he wouldn't be hard-pressed to agree?"
