For a moment Laufey was still, too stunned by the his sudden descent to move. His mind struggled to make sense of it; he had been walking and now he was not. It made no sense. Dumbly, he looked up at Daegmar hoping she could make sense of what happened to him.
At last it occurred to him that she was the reason he was on the ground, but he couldn't find it within himself to care; her next words demanded too much of his attention. Esti? She would take him to Esti? He glossed over the 'idiot' part entirely. All that mattered was Esti. Daegmar could have christened him any number of demeaning things and he would have accepted them all if it meant seeing his sister again. Sure, they butted heads more often than not, but out of their whole family, only she had made a point to stick with him. For her he'd do anything.
The promise of seeing his sister awakened a desire to move and Laufey slowly got to his paws. He swayed once, twice, and then managed to get his balance. Once he was sure his paws were under him for good, his eyes went once more to Daegmar. "Okay." For Esti, he would follow.
