"Protect me? Protect me?"

Her words were missing something. Something important. Something key. "His hands were covered in Jotun blood. What difference would one more infant make? No, he took me for a reason." Of this, Loki was absolutely certain. Fate had nothing to do with it. His had been a rescue of opportunity. Why?"
