"Antarctica is a frozen waste too cold for people like me, Loki," she said with a laugh. "I don't know. What's got you asking?"

"He labelled the calendar with a very precise time to leave before the New Year," Loki continued, lying back to rest his head in her lap. "And I've seen pictographs of him both before and after the new year. Before, bit of a right hand."

"After? No hand."
He clenched a fist.
"Before? Marital bliss. After? His little bride won't speak to him."

He lifted his eyebrows pointedly.
"And she didn't work for him before, either."

"Hmmm. I suppose..."
He stretched and nestled in closer.
"I imagine we'll have to go there to know, hmmm?"
