Title: Let Only The Young Come

Rating: G

Summary: 

Frigga lapses into silence, stroking Loki’s hair. “There is the sea in you,” she says softly. For no reason Loki can discern, she looks close to tears. “It is calling.”

Loki does not know what to say to that, only that he must ease the sorrowful look on his mother’s face. “I’m here, mama.”

“Yes,” Frigga smiles sweetly at him, tinged with something he will only later come to recognize as heartbreak. “You’re here. My Loki.”

Loki falls asleep that night rocked in his mother’s arms and does not hear her whisper into his hair, “For now.”
