Re: Loki, Hermes, Hermod, Sigyn and Open
He felt Hermes touching his arm. His friend was trying to calm the situation down. He even offered to help. But Hermod was not ready to just let Loki walk away. That man had a lot to answer for. If didn’t get to keep his kids, maybe he didn’t fight hard enough with them.
And that including this poking he was doing now. Hermod looked down and glared at the finger that was hitting his chest. Hard. While insulting his mother. Asshole. “I’m not an idiot, Loki. I know how Baldr was. He could be a jerk. He wasn’t always nice to Hod or me. But there is no way you are going to convince me that Hod killed Baldr intentionally. Not with out someone encouraging him. I never cared if he was blind. He still looked after me. And he could sometimes be a jerk, too. But they were my brothers!”
Before he could respond to the rest of Loki’s rant, Sigyn got between them. He couldn’t reach Loki now. She had pushed him back. He would never hit Sigyn or any woman really. It just wasn’t in him to do that. She was trying to get them to stop arguing. He wasn’t sure he believed her when she said they all wanted to bring Bragi back. Vidar had told them that she hated all of them.
She was looking him in the eye so he held her gaze, but addressed Loki’s final statement. “Your sons didn’t deserve it. But I wasn’t there. Neither was Bragi. We couldn’t have stopped them. We tried.” They did try, but there was no stopping a group of really pissed off Aesir.
