Loki gave her a look, "You want me to bring back... dirt? Midgardian... dirt? Now you're just trying to mess with me."

She shook her little bird head, "I never mess around when it comes to gardening. You want me to grow large strong trees.... Then I need enriched top soil. This planet from what I've seen does NOT have much soil to it and therefore plants hadn't grown in it for a long time. No plants, no cycle of plants dying and enriching the soil around it. Then the seeds from that dead plant grow into bigger and stronger plants and so on and so forth. It's very serious work."

"Hm..." Loki thought about it. Of all the things he had learned about across the realms, gardening was not one of them. "Very well, I will look into it. It could be awhile though"

"I know... You did mention the once a month portals... I can make due with what you have here but the trees just won't be as big as the carving portrayed...." She could probably get them to grow to about 10 feet before she'd have to let them grow naturally.

"That's alright" he replied before looking away somewhat grimly, "I likely won't be able to bring that place to life anyway" the last of the illusion and all it's beauty disappeared completely as he turned to leave.

"I mean I can't magically grow them that tall." She said correcting herself. " I can still make them, they'll just have to finish growing taller on their own." She pointed out. His grim look, reminded her so much of Pietro. It was a look that she'd do anything to make him smile.

"The enriched soil can be added afterward."

"The trees aren't the problem, I have every faith in your ability." Loki replied, "It's the ice. This place was built centuries ago with the power of the Bifrost, however that powerful relic sits in one of the most secure places within Azgard and something tells me Odin won't give it back just so his least favourite person in the realms can rebuild a palace in his least favourite realm."

The little bird blinked and stared at him for a moment, "...Why don't you ask Polly?"

"Hm?" Loki looked a little confused. Apparently he didn't know the extent of all their powers. Polly was a truth teller and... apparently could use ice? That meant she was twice as useful as he had thought.

"What do you think comes out of her weapons? It's a mixture of ice and magic.... For someone who has been hunting us since we were little... you sure don't know much, do you?" She commented. Thought most information about the sisters was a verbal history rather then on pen and paper. That way the knowledge could not fall into the wrong hands.

"Vesta didn't go into much detail regarding your powers in the past" Loki replied, "Your abilities were more obvious, Juno's relatively easy to determine but Polly... She does not openly display anything aside from bringing the truth forward, and someone had the foresight to burn down most of her family estate before I arrived."

"Since we didn't have our familiars we were all displaying one of our powers. Vesta couldn't keep her body temperature down, Pallas was truth... Plants started growing around me..." She hopped over, "It won't have done you any good anyways, most of the knowledge of us and our origins is verbal.. Wait, did you say someone burn down the the estate BEFORE you arrived?" The was odd.

"Yes, I assumed they somehow got word of me coming" Loki replied before turning to leave, "At any rate, this information is quite useful. Thank you."

"You're umm... welcome." She chirped, it was so weird being a bird. Everything was so big but for some reason, the form made her feel safe.

Vesta was outside the door, she froze when she saw him, a cup of warm tea in her hand. She paused before holding it out to him.

Loki barely looked at her as he walked passed towards the grand hall, ~Polly, we have some things to discuss~

Vesta turned and almost growled. A bit of fire burning again. The wave of emotions she'd felt had left her a sad pathetic shell of herself. She was still very rattled about the returning emotions but she hadn't been able to explain herself. There were many things that factored into her end. And she would NOT let him push her away until she let him know how her side of the story went.

When? When was she suppose to tell him? He was so busy taking over lands they had basically stopped seeing each other by the end of it.

Whatever. He could be all pouted and a dick if he wanted. She'd spend sometime with her sister.

"Ceres, I brought some green tea.-"

Chirp chirp... Chirp chirp! Green tea <3 Green Tea <3

Vesta laughed lightly, "Alright, Alright let me get through the door."

"What would you like to discuss?" Polly asked, as she seemed to appear right behind him.

"Ice" Loki replied, "How skilled are you with it?"

"...I don't know." She crossed her arms, "I've never really used it before."

Loki raised a brow at her, "How could you have never used it before? Try" There was plenty of space in the great hall and it wasn't as though she could destroy it more than it was so he gave her a little space and watched.

"Umm... ah... ok." She looked down at the ground and stared at it for a good min. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. She took a deep breath and slide along the floor, moving her arms back and forth. Light blue magic trailed behind her like snow flakes and glittering ice shimmered where she'd walked but about 10 seconds into this specicaler, it turned into violent and dangerous spikes.

She screamed as it continued to grow and grow and pinned her against the opposing side.

"What's going on?" Juno appeared. Then she saw what what going on, "Oh hell... Polly, take a deep breath, relax." She called, slicing through the ice to get to her.

She took a deep breath and the ice stopped growing.

Loki walked forward, this didn't make any sense. How could she have no control over it by now? "What happened?" he demanded, "If this is your ability, why can't you use it?"

Juno pulled Polly out of the ice and held her for a bit.

"I'msorryi'msorry." Polly kept repeating.
"Hey, It's ok. You did really well... Why don't you go visit Ceres while I have a word with his highness?"

Polly looked toward Loki for approval.
"You don't need his permission go." Juno said, frustrated, going over to Loki and pulling him out into another hallway. "Really? What happened? I'll tell you what happened. You just forced Polly into using her powers that she hasn't had anyone in this life cycle to teach her and she can't just access the information from a past life because she doesn't remember being Pallas!" Juno said, hands on her hips.

Loki gave no objection to Polly leaving, he did however give objection to Juno's tone, "Perhaps you should reconsider your attitude" he told her with a glare. No one would dare speak to Odin in this way and he was beginning to get irritated with Juno's consistent arrogance around him. As though she were the one in control.

"Should I? Because clearly you know nothing about us and yet you act as though you do."

~I knew Vesta~ Loki thought to himself, ~it's the others I don't understand. It came so naturally with her though...~ He stepped forward, looking down upon Juno "I know more about you than the rest of the realms, however that is irrelevant. I am the King of this realm and if you do not treat me with respect, then I have no reason to do so in return."
