Yake smiled. Since he had dared to come, he was not worried about how he would get back.
"Whatever. Asgard is pretty nice. I'll treat it as sightseeing."
Loki was completely despairing, but he could not just stand by and watch Thor ruin his plan. He struggled to his feet, weapon in hand, preparing to ambush Thor.
