Blundering Oaf! (джен)

{Yes, Asgard is sexist. Yes, Hypocrisy is running rampant. Yes, Sif is getting worse than most male Warriors would be given for 'ruining' a girl for marriage.}
 
*As part of avoiding Sif, Thor delivered the feather that afternoon - Loki being holed up in his rooms, in the Royal wing of the palace where W3+S cannot go.
At Thor's knock, Loki cracked the door to his room open just enough for one green eye to glare balefully at him. "What?"
Thor held up the feather. "uh... with Fandral's compliments?"
Loki cackled delightedly and made it 'poof' in green smoke. "Did he tell you the feather's name?"
Thor was nonplussed. "Uh, no...? it's a ... feather?"
"Probably Sif then." At Thor's confused look he explained, "She always shits all over everything, too," and shut the door firmly in Thor's face.
Thor was briefly outraged before remembering that he's actually angry with her, and it's because she was... kinda shitting all over his brother.
Later that evening, Loki accepted the invitation that was truly the intended meaning and met Fandral for drinks at a tiny, out-of-the-way tavern on the edge of the Workmen's District called the Pigeon's Roost (which served an excellent pigeon pie), whereupon Fandral filled him in on the conversation he had with Thor and they began mending the bridges between them. (It still took several decades before Loki was willing to call Fandral a friend, though.)
