It's a good story. And Darras would know, being a fan of both the listening and the telling. He stays hunched over the ship's rail, paying close attention. He's a good and active listener too.

"Torture," he mutters, when the meat can't be cooked. And when Loki gets to the part where the bird steals the meat, Darras gives a judgmental click of his tongue. Would he steal meat from weary travelers, if his need was great? Maybe, yeah. That doesn't matter.

"You can't trust a bird," he says, with a sympathetic shake of his head. "Gulls especially, in my wide experience, but all birds're a little rotten. Now, I don't blame you for making the vow. Better to live than die. Did he take you back to your brother or did you have to make your own way back?"

"He let me off some distance away; nothing too close, no, and nothing that couldn't be walked, but considering the scare I'd received and the food I'd yet to eat, it was understandably not my favorite experience."

Loki shrugs. What can you do? He still feels fortunate that the giant-who-enchanted-himself-into-an-untrustworthy!-bird didn't dash his head on the rocks or just drop him from a great height.

"I did not tell my brother or our companions the agreement I had reached; I felt it best communicated to Idun directly, along with coming up with a plan to ensure that she did not remain in the bird's clutches. By this point, also, I had determined it was no mere bird but likely a giant who had enchanted himself to seem as such. For what nefarious purpose, other than to steal our food, I didn't know and in all honesty it did not matter.

We return to Asgard, and I tell Idun of this plot. We decide I will take her to him, and then steal her away again, so that the letter of the agreement is fulfilled."
