Polite Visit (tag: Taweret)
It was a cool, crisp autumn day, and to Sigyn that seemed to signal that it would be a good time to bake. That was the plan in her mind as soon as she got out of the shower, so she started with some peanut butter cookies. Several other cookies, a couple of quick breads, a pie, two cakes and a pan of brownies later, she paused to look at her now full counter tops and came to a realization: she was hiding.
Oh not deliberately, and not physically. But she was doing things to keep from sitting down and actually talking with her husband. Which was not like her at all. Honesty had been a hallmark of their relationship from the very beginning, for better or worse. But Sigyn could see that she'd been avoiding a meaningful conversation with Loki. And not just today, with the baking. This was just the final straw. She'd been throwing herself into other projects around the house for several weeks now so that she wouldn't have to tell him about what happened between herself and Hermod.
Actually, it wasn't just Loki she'd been avoiding. It was herself. She'd kept herself busy so she wouldn't think about what she'd almost done. It had let her concentrate on the end of their discussion, and conveniently compartmentalize the rest.
Oh she had to stop doing that. It was time for her to talk to Loki. Except... he was out right now. So she'd talk to him when he got back. In the mean time, she had a kitchen full of baked goods that they were never going to eat. At least, not all of them.
So, in order to get rid of some of the food, and give herself a bit of time to put her thoughts in order, Sigyn decided to give some of it away. Though really, she didn't have any close friends beyond Isis, and she was sure the queen would have far more, and far better, access to baked goods than Sigyn could provide. But maybe a trip to Egypt could still be on the docket. Yes, that might be an interesting way to go.
Bundling up the brownies and three different types of cookies, Sigyn made her way to the desert, stopping long enough to ask Fatima for directions. Isis' head of household was always a font of information, and Sigyn left the chocolate macadamia nut cookies with her as thanks. Mostly because Fatima had asked for them, and frankly, she was a little afraid to say no to her. Then she was on her way.
Moments later, she was knocking on a door and calling out cheerfully, “Hello? Is anybody home? I'm Sigyn, Loki's wife? I've brought desserts to the desert.”
