Mildmay had read about Loki in a book from the library. And the guy here calling himself Thor called him his brother, and said he'd made up a lot of the stories people knew about the gods. Those gods anyways.

Tricksters weren't all bad. Even in the stories, Loki'd done good things and bad, usually together, with his tricks. And powers knew, Kethe's help had got Mildmay outta more scrapes than he could count... and bit him in the ass just as much.

"So what do you get out of it?" he asked, genuinely curious and trying to work through it in his head. 'Cause who could sentence a god to something they didn't wanna do, 'cept another god, and why would Loki go along with it if he didn't want to. It was probably another of his stories, then, but he hadta have a reason.
