"Oh my goodness, Azure. You looked gorgeous in that dress."
 
"I never knew you could look that good." 
 
"Will you help me pick a dress for the next event?"
 
"Can I do your hair sometime?"
 
Many women surrounded Azure in the halls of the palace. Each one of them complimenting her appearance at the feast, or wanting to become closer to her now that they knew how beautiful she really was. 
 
From Azure's actions, it could be seen that she was rather uncomfortable with all the attention. she was never one to pay attention to her looks or try to attract guys. The same girls that are crowding around her are the same girls that couldn't care less about her two days ago. It bothered Azure how women changed so quickly.
 
"Girls, girls. Give the girl a chance to breathe." One of the women commanded the others. She seemed to be the "leader of the pack." As commanded, the others backed off and gave Azure some breathing room. The lead girl came up and gave a fabricated apologetic look. "I'm sorry for their behavior. I only want to show the utmost respect to the Prince's lover."
 
Azure's eyes widened. "Lover?" She repeated in a floored tone."I- I'm not his lover!" She replied swiftly.
 
The girl continued her facade. "What? Are you sure? The way he chased off all the guys trying to get close to you says otherwise." The girl gave a smirk.
 
Azure was not going to let this rumor move any further. "I am not Loki's lover. I have never felt that way towards him, and I never will. The prince has no feelings for me either." She stated in a stern tone. 
 
The lead girl chuckled. "I guess I'll just have to keep my eye on you to see if your statement is true or not. Come on, ladies. We are going to be late if we stay here any longer." Just as commanded, the other women turned and walked away. Their leader staying behind to get the last word in. Her facade dropped and a stern look replaced the smile. "For your sake, I hope what you said is true." She started to get closer to Azure. "The Prince only has one lover, and that would be me. If you even try to interfere," The girl took a strand of Azure's hair into her hand, "let's just say that you won't have to worry about any guy trying to court you ever again." The girl dropped Azure's hair and walked off.
 
Azure watched the girls leave. Once they were out of sight, she leaned against the wall and covered her eyes. "Are you serious right now?" She said aloud to no one. She spent most of her life in the palace trying to avoid those girls. Now that she attended a feast with Loki, she had those girls on her back about it. "Well," she continued, "time to look up some spells for animal traps."

Loki walked through the palace halls on his way to pay Azure a visit. It's been quiet without her around, and he was starting to get bored. 
 
"Prince Loki!" A voice called out from behind. Loki halted and turned his head to acknowledge one of the people he loathed to run into. "Prince Loki, I'm glad I caught up to you." She stopped in front of him and smiled. 
 
She was one of the most sought after women in the palace, but Loki couldn't help but wonder why. Her face was covered in makeup so that nothing looked natural. Her body was adorned by many jewels so she sparkled as she walked by. If a girl needed all this to gain attention, they weren't worth paying attention to. "Do we have some business?" He asked plainly.
 
It was obvious that he showed no interest in her, but she kept the smile on her face and pushed his indifference aside. "I was wondering if you would like to have some tea in the royal garden this evening." She started to fiddle with her hair, showing signs of flirtation.
 
"I have no interest in using my valuable time to have tea in the garden with you. There are many other things that I could spend my time wisely on." Loki tone was cold. His words pierced her like icicles through her ego. 
 
Her expression showed signs of disappointment as she nodded. "Yes, of course. I apologize for bothering you." She lowered her head. 
 
Loki's cold tone didn't waver as he continued to speak. "If that is all, I shall be going." He walked past her and went on his way. 
 
She turned around and watched him walk away. When he turned the corner, it was obvious as to where his destination was. Her hands balled into fists as her anger began to boil. "That lying snake." She hissed. "I warned you, Azure. If you got in my way, there will be punishment." She stormed off in a different direction to gather her girls together to plot revenge.
 
The thought of the girl didn't last long in Loki's mind as he walked away. He never paid much mind to any of the women in the palace. They all tried their hardest to gain the attention of men. Thor wouldn't think twice before bedding each of them. Loki walked up and raised his hand to knock on Azure's door. Once his hand touched the door, Loki was caught up in something similar to a net. It was a tight fit, putting Loki in a very uncomfortable position. 
 
The door to Azure's chambers opened, and she poked her head outside. "Oh, Loki. What are you doing in my trap?" She asked.
 
Loki ignored the fact that he was hanging upside down from the air long enough to ask, "Why do you have a trap outside your door?"
 
Azure shrugged. "I've had some trouble with the other women. Seems that a rumor is floating around that we are lovers now. Funny how attending one party together can start something like that." 
 
"Yes, it is a mystery." Loki agreed. "Do you think, perhaps if you aren't busy... Get. Me. Out. Of. This." His annoyance started to show. 
 
Azure finally acknowledged that Loki was, in fact, hanging upside down in a net. "Oh, right. Let me get a knife or something." She waltzed back into her room then came back with a knife and a book. She flipped through the pages of the book entitled, "Magical Traps for Large Beasts," until she found the page that told her the spell that made the net able to be cut down. With a few words and a wave of her knife against the ropes, the net was cut, and Loki hit the ground with a large thud. "Oops."
 
Loki stood up and regained his composure. "I'm counting that as your prank." He commented.
 
Azure whined a bit. "No, that wasn't even what I had planned. It's your own fault for not seeing the trap."
 
"It's your fault for placing it there."
 
Azure stuck her tongue out in reply.
 
"That's mature." Loki commented, then moved onto another topic. "Tell me again why you have a trap set outside your door." 
 
Azure sighed and walked into her room, Loki following behind. "Apparently, I'm enemy number one for one of the women in the palace. Since I attended the feast with you, they think we are lovers. I've already received threats from a girl about interfering with her love affair with you." She placed the book on her desk and started flipping through some of the other traps. 
 
Loki crossed his arms. "I can take a wild guess at who that girl might be." He watched as Azure's eyes scanned through the book. "So, you are setting up traps to keep them away from your room?"
 
"Just a precaution so I don't wake up one morning with half a head of hair." 
 
Loki mumbled to himself. "That doesn't sound like a bad prank." He smirked then continued on the topic. "Well, if you need any ideas of ways to keep them away from your room, I have a few up my sleeve that I use myself." 
 
Azure gave him a look that asked why he used them. 
 
"Thor."
 
"Ah." She nodded. She flipped through a few more pages then closed the book. "I believe I can handle a few overemotional girls on my own. Though if I need any ideas, I'll know who to ask." She giggled. 
 
"Well, I should be going then. Things to do, places to be." Loki smiled his usual smile. 
 
"Hey, Loki." Azure caught his attention before he had the chance to leave. She got up and walked over to him. Raising herself on the tips of her toes, she placed a kiss on Loki's cheek, catching him off guard. "Thanks for the dance." She smiled at him then went back to looking through her books.
 
For a moment, some color appeared on Loki's face, but he acted swiftly and left the room before she could notice. As Loki paced down the hall, he silently cursed his emotions and Azure for stirring them. Soon, he was met by his brother who had a goofy grin on his face. "What has you so jovial?" 
 
Thor held back a laugh that was forcing its way out. "I was just admiring the new look that you have. Did you get some advice from the children on how to decorate your face?" He joked about. 
 
Loki didn't understand what his brother meant. "What are you going on about?" He asked in a snide way. 
 
"Perhaps, you would like to look at yourself in a mirror." Thor's laugh began to slip between his words. 
 
Loki and Thor walked to a fountain nearby. It only took a glance to see what Thor was laughing about. It looked as if someone (preferably someone with no artistic talent) had taken a marker and used Loki's face as a canvas. Loki's mind scanned throughout his day, trying to pinpoint the moment that this had happened. Loki sighed as he figured out who was the culprit.
 
"Azure."
 
He slammed his fist against the stone that surrounded the fountain. How dare she use a kiss to catch him off guard. That sly vixen. Loki's mind started formulating a plan of revenge for manipulating his feelings to pull a prank as simple as this.

Ahah, this is funny. I comment, and then I see you updated. Okay, so this is getting interesting. Hey, in just wondering. Could there possibly be a love triangle in the future? Oh wait, no. More like love square? Since there's that Fandlar guy too...Oh, and you go girl! Show him what you got, Azure!

applecyanide  on says about chapter 2:
Loki, omg. Of course, he's th god of mischief after all. Hmmm and you said you want some prompts? Okay...how about: In which the two become lost, and Azure blames Loki. Or: Azure attends Loki's birthday ceremony, but a princess from another land starts to become a bit too /chummy/ with Loki. Azure is (not) jealous.
