It had been important to the Asgardians to hold the lady of Vanaheim at an arm's length. Sigyn, and her half-Frost Giant twins, were placed under house arrest, tended to and watched over, but never allowed out of the palace, out of anyone's sight. She understood all of this. For while she was good-hearted, her alliances remained with her estranged husband and that made many anxious.

As for Sigyn, she kept mum, keeping to herself and mothering their children as promised. They were growing into young men and it was truly a shame that Loki could not be present to watch them.

When Thor returned to their realm with Loki in tow, Sigyn, forgetting herself, burst into the great hall, kneeling before Odin and asking for permission to see her husband. And, in due time, the wife had been granted permission to see her husband. A guard announced her arrival as she turned the corner and, if Loki would look up, he would see Sigyn standing before him, hands behind her back, flushed and shy and nervous, but never without a flicker of hope in her eyes.
