She kissed him again. Even if this plan didn't work, even if it failed miserably, Loki was still pleased in that he got two kisses from a relatively mysterious -yet exciting, goddess. The day was not a complete bust if this didn't work. Though, he was pretty certain it would work if these nymphs were even the slightest bit dim. “Just watch for them to come closer to me. If it doesn't work... well... I'll think of something.”
Loki opened the bag at his pouch and discreetly pulled out his own apple. One of Idun's apples of immortality. This was either the most ridiculous plan in the history of plans, or the most brilliant. Boldly, he stood up from behind the shrub and walked around in front of it and into plain view of the nymphs, but with one hand behind his back.
He tried to look lost, then coughed to draw attention to himself. There was some question about who he was, which he said wasn't important; then there was question as to why he was there, to which he said was just to satisfy curiosity. Loki tried very hard to look as innocent as possible during all of it. He asked about the apple, the glowy one and the nymphs acted a little defensive, but he kept on it. Loki was nothing if not clever. He was at least far more clever than these women.
Following up his question about the apple, he wanted to know why it was so special that it needed protecting. The nymphs didn't say other than it was the most special apple in the world. “I rather doubt that,” Loki said, still holding one hand behind his back. “I've seen greater apples across the world. Special, magical apples.” They denied this claim, no apple was more special than the ones they guarded.
At that, Loki pulled his hand out from behind his back and held it out as if to show him. “See, I have my own apple. I'm sure it is far superior to your apple.” He tossed it in the air a few times and caught it, just to keep their attention. “Come see it if you don't believe me.”
