Summary: Loki brings Horus food



Horus, Loki had decided, was the most difficult person he'd ever had to find a gift for. What did you give someone who lived mostly as a bird? Horus didn't wear clothes, or weapons and any other possessions would be more hindrance than help to a hawk.

In the end Loki had decided to fall back on his usual strategy with animals: Feed them.

So he'd snuck into the kitchen while the cook's back was turned, snatched a large plate, several choice pieces of meat and a knife. Armed with those items he returned to where he'd seen Horus the day before and started to cut the meat into nice hawk-sized bits, which he arranged nicely on the plate.

"Horus?" he called out after a few minutes. "Are you home? I've got a present for you."

Loki looked up at the sudden voice. He really should pay more attention to his surroundings. Anyone could have snuck up on him, even Adam!

This definitely wasn't Adam, though. It was a young woman with beautiful blond hair and a friendly smile. A bit young, perhaps, but just Odin's type. That meant he'd better leave her to hs brother, but then again Loki had never been known for his caution.

"Why hello there, beautiful!" he greeted her happily. "I'm afraid I can't shake your had right now." He held up one bloody hand to illustrate the point. "But I'll be only too happy to make up for it once I'm done here and have had time to wash my hands."

Luna was not surprised. No, really. Oh alright, she was, a little, but she took it in her stride. "It's quite alright." She took a cautious step towards the hawk and the man, keeping her eye on the hawk. She didn't want to frighten it away like she nearly did the last time.

"Is this your hawk? Only I wasn't quite sure what to give him when he showed up at one of the Manor windows, and well I gave him exactly what you're giving him now." This was said with a small smile, but most of Luna's attention was still on the hawk.

"My hawk?" Unlike Luna Loki definitely was surprised. "Oh no, Horus is very much his own person. We're old friends, though and well, I thought he might enjoy this."

He was a little disappointed to find out that his gift wasn't as unique an idea as he had thought. If only he could come up with anything else to do for Horus!
