<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">In the mind of Thor, things were going well. He had everything he could reasonably want; family, friends, and battles to fight. Most notably, he had purpose: he would become the best king Asgard had ever seen. How he could best his father's long rule Thor wasn't exactly sure, but surely with the right counsel he would get there. And Thor had the best counsel available to him; namely his brother Loki, who he had always admired for his cleverness and wit. Not that he had every told Loki of his admiration completely, but someone so smart should have been able to have figured it out based on Thor's actions. Whenever confronted with a problem that required something beyond physical force, Thor always went to his brother first for advice-- and his brother only gave the best advice.<br/>
<br/>
Today, he was not looking for advice. He was just searching for his brother to tell him he was back home now; and perhaps Loki would want to hear about his adventures. The younger was very good at listening and Thor took it as the other enjoying hearing the tales. Besides that, Thor wanted to know what his brother had been up to while he was away. <br/>
<br/>
Instead of knocking on his brother's door, Thor let himself in. If it had been anyone else, he would have given the courtesy of knocking first, but Thor knew his brother was crafty. If the god of mischief did not want to be disturbed he would make sure he was not disturbed. "Brother," he announced as he entered. "I've just gotten home-- By Odin's beard! What are you doing under the covers? If you require privacy, lock your room!" Thor flustered, unsure if he had just barged into a private, indecent scene. </span>
