"Hmmm," Odin pondered Jake's story. The first part seemed believable, but he wasn't quite sure about the teleportation part.
Although Odin did know of many nosy beings in the universe who could very well have sent Jake and Serafall to his domain, one of the few places that could actually save the girl in time.
He chose to accept the story for the time being.
"I'm sorry that happened," Queen Frigga said sincerely. She completely bought his story, which made Jake feel a bit bad for having to lie to her. She seemed really nice, after all.
"You two are welcome to stay as guests of Asgard for as long as you like, even after Serafall is healed if you want to." She did have a slightly selfish reason for this.
There weren't many magic users in all of Asgard, and she thought it would be nice for her and her daughter to discuss magic with two members of a race that supposedly specialize in it.
Jake thanked them both as they finished their short walk, which had surprisingly led them right back to where they started. The king and queen left Jake shortly after, and he returned to Serafall's bedside.
...
Healers came and checked on her every few hours. Each time they told Jake that she was looking slightly better and that she'd wake 'soon'.
They did say she wouldn't be fully healed for a while, though, due to the lingering light poisoning. What they had apparently been doing to her was healing her stab wound and purging as much light from the wound itself to make it non-lethal.
By that point, though, small amounts of light poisoning had already entered her bloodstream and traveled throughout her whole body. She'd be in for a slow and painful recovery, they told him.
BANG!
The doors to the healing hall burst open, and the man Jake recognized as the one who initially called to have him arrested barged in. He was followed by an entourage of three men and two women.
"You there!" The man called out a bit arrogantly, pointing at Jake. "Do you have any idea what you did!?"
"No," Jake replied bluntly.
The man huffed. "You interrupted the coronation of me, Thor, Prince of Asgard. I was to be King!" He declared proudly. Jake now knew what all those people were gathered for. He kind of did ruin that whole event, didn't he?
"Listen, Prince Thor," Jake started to apologize before he was cut off.
"No, you listen here," Thor declared. "You have wronged me, and I demand an honor duel!"

"That's right!" The fat follower cheered.
"You tell him, Thor!" The blond follower said.
"Teach this fool a lesson." The samurai looking follower added.
Jake felt like the three men behind Thor were really well in sync. Definitely some of the better lackeys he'd seen recently. Although, weren't these Asgardians supposed to be super old. Had they been lackeys for over a 1000 years? Jake felt that was kind of sad...
"Thank you my loyal friends!" Thor bellowed out to them. Jake noticed the two women just scoffed at the display.
Jake sighed at being challenged to ANOTHER duel though. Why did this keep happening to him? "I refuse." Jake said plainly to the Asgardians looks of shock.
"I refuse your refusal!" Thor replied.
"Nope, too bad. It's not happening" Jake said again. "We don't always get what we want after all."
"On the contrary." Thor replied smugly. "This is Asgard and I am a prince! I always get what I want!"
"..."
Jake wondered if he had just run into Malfoy 3.0. He thought he'd have at least some time away from arrogant young masters after Riser, but apparently not...
The prettier of the two girls in his entourage started snickering at Thor, drawing the attention of the group.
"What are you laughing at, Loki?" Thor asked cautiously. Whenever his sister had that laugh, it meant he'd be made a fool.
Jake was surprised the trickster god Loki was actually a girl! Although there was that story about Sleipnir, he supposed...
"I'm laughing at you challenging a child to a duel. And then arguing like one yourself when he said no."
Jake took offense to that. "Hey, I'm not a child! I'm almost 17!" He declared proudly.
Thor looked like he swallowed a lemon. "...17..." he muttered to himself.
"Nevermind, forget about the duel," he said with a quickly turning red face as he turned around and left the healing hall. Most of his entourage followed after him. Loki, however, stayed behind.
"What was up with that?" Jake asked.
Loki just giggled. "For an Asgardian, 17 would be considered a toddler. Thor probably thought it wouldn't look good for the future king of Asgard to be seen fighting you in an honor duel," she finished explaining with another laugh.
Jake took offense to being compared to a toddler. But at the same time, it did save him from the annoyance of yet another duel... He felt conflicted.
Jake observed Princess Loki, who stayed behind with him. He couldn't help but think she was quite beautiful. Her short black hair framed a face that he would describe as elegant and captivating.
Surprisingly tall, she stood almost at his height, maybe just a bit shorter. Instead of the dresses he had seen other Asgardian women wearing, she donned a black and green leather body suit that seemed more suited for combat.
"..."
Princess Loki drew Jake out of his thoughts, saying, "You shouldn't worry about it so much. Honestly, no one in Asgard is going to see you as a toddler.
After all, you are a different race from us. Making Thor look like an oaf seemed to be the easiest way to be rid of him," she added with a smirk. While she did care about her brother, she also enjoyed making him look foolish.
Jake looked at her strangely, wondering if the relationship between Thor and Loki wasn't great. "So you did that to help me out?" he asked.
