Sigyn finds a few more notes. Some, she leaves where they are found - others find their way to where she lives. Never for long, though - Sigyn does not want any trace of Sif in her apartment, and in fact, even her own touch is missing…..nothing like the home she used to keep. No mementos, no pictures, no favourite colours or flowers. The only presence she lets linger is Loki’s, and very deliberately in a shirt she keeps to wrap herself in when she is cold. She had washed that shirt while he was gone, and as soon as he wore it and then left it, she claimed it.

His shirt tucked under one of her blankets is more than she leaves behind when she sees to his place - when he is gone, there is no more sign that she’s been there than the way she puts things to order on his counters and in his drawers. When he’s there, it’s a different story - she wraps herself in his blanket to make breakfast, to open the window……to do anything that requires her to leave his warmth. The scent and stray strands of hair she leaves behind are inevitable and, in any case, very small things.

Small things like the notes she stares at, the little snatches of life she tries not to remember and the goddess she doesn’t want to talk about. She doesn’t know why Sif does it - doesn’t know if she wants answers, or even for Sigyn to really find them at all - but why doesn’t matter. What matters is that they don’t get to her, don’t make her start thinking about who she was. That they don’t have her missing the way they were.

It’s enough that she’s begun to keep watch for them.


The last line in the last performance was your best yet. There was something to it that wasn't there before. You should have heard the story I heard at intermission - I don't know if it will be the same when I re-tell it.

I don't know how you can hold such a straight face when I'm making a fool of myself.

I'm used to hiding my amusement until there's a better time to let it out. Besides, you're not making a fool of yourself - you're playing the part. That's what you're supposed to do. That's not the same.

So it's okay if I'm supposed to be making a fool of myself?

Isn't it just playing a part?

Isn't that the whole point of life?

That's where we're getting things confused. Playing your part and playing a part are different things to me. I can only be me.

I don't know anymore Sigyn. I can't tell the difference.

I think that difference was always a little blurrier for you. No one can help their nature. All I know is when I see you being you, or being someone else, it isn't the same. Maybe I'm not even right.

You're usually right until you start doubting yourself.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you don't know me better than I do, then it really is the end of the world.

When it comes to you, I'm not often left in much doubt.

You shouldn't worry about it....only one person should be worrying over you, and I believe I've always had that well in hand without making a big production of it. Worry doesn't fix things. Actions do.

I don't want you to worry about me anymore.

I'll make it right this time. This story will end exactly how it's supposed to, one way or another.

That's like saying you don't want me to love you anymore.

I've never doubted that you would do what you were supposed to, Loki. I'll be there until I can't be anymore, and if I have it my way, that won't be until the very end.

It's not the same Sigyn. It's not the same.

I just want you to be happy.

It isn't all that different.

What happiness I have is what you've given me, Loki. It isn't your fault we don't have more. Don't think if you weren't here or if you stopped being who you are I would be happy. I wouldn't.

You deserve more than this.

What they can take away, I can too.

What, exactly, is more than this?

I hope you're talking about taking things away from them.

More than what you have. More than what you've been allotted.

And I am. I will.

I was only wondering if you had specifics in mind.

I don't think they understand how things change. It would be nice to see them learn.
