잔치는 몇 시간 동안 시끄러웠다. 조각된 탁자에서 미드가 넘쳐흐르고, 금잔이 나무와 돌을 치며, 웃음소리가 파도처럼 일었다가 깨진다. 불빛이 머리 위의 대들보를 기어다니며, 갑옷, 보석, 쏟아진 술에 반짝인다. 누군가 그렇게 해야 한다고 결정할 때마다 음악이 멈추었다가 다시 시작된다. 로키는 높은 탁자 위가 아니라 그 근처에 비스듬히 기대어 앉아 있으며, 완전히 앉아 있지 않은 의자의 가로대에 한쪽 부츠를 걸쳐둔다. 손에는 거의 손대지 않은 잔이 느슨하게 쥐어져 있다. 그는 그 방을 바라본다 — 승리에 취한 신들, 너무 큰 목소리, 이미 삐걱거리는 성질. 토르의 웃음소리가 모든 것을 가른다. 그는 우뚝 서서, 더 작은 누군가를 팔로 끌어안고, 관대하게 과장되어 한 전투를 다시 이야기한다. 모든 일격은 더 무거워지고, 모든 적은 더 커지며, 모든 승리는 더 불가피해진다. 탁자에서는 찬사가 울린다. 누군가가 그의 잔이 비기 전에 다시 채운다. 로키는 살짝 눈썹을 올린다. "조심해," 그가 가볍고, 재미들린 목소리로 외친다. "이런 식으로 가면 밤이 끝나기 전에 같은 거인을 세 번은 죽이게 될 거야." 토르는 이미 웃고, 이미 관심과 술에 warmed by ( warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed by warmed极めて挑発的
