AVL Trees1 Part-F2 AVL Trees 6 3 8 4 v z
AVL Trees2 AVL Tree Definition (§ 9.2) AVL trees are balanced. An AVL Tree is a binary search tree such that for every internal node v of T, the heights of the children of v can differ by at most 1. An example of an AVL tree where the heights are shown next to the nodes:
AVL Trees3 Height of an AVL Tree Fact: The height of an AVL tree storing n keys is O(log n). Proof: Let us bound n(h): the minimum number of internal nodes of an AVL tree of height h. We easily see that n(1) = 1 and n(2) = 2 For n > 2, an AVL tree of height h contains the root node, one AVL subtree of height n-1 and another of height n-2. That is, n(h) = 1 + n(h-1) + n(h-2) Knowing n(h-1) > n(h-2), we get n(h) > 2n(h-2). So n(h) > 2n(h-2), n(h) > 4n(h-4), n(h) > 8n(n-6), … (by induction), n(h) > 2 i n(h-2i) Solving the base case we get: n(h) > 2 h/2-1 Taking logarithms: h < 2log n(h) +2 Thus the height of an AVL tree is O(log n) 3 4 n(1) n(2)
AVL Trees4 Insertion in an AVL Tree Insertion is as in a binary search tree Always done by expanding an external node. Example: 44 1778 325088 4862 54 w b=x a=y c=z 44 1778 325088 4862 before insertionafter insertion
AVL Trees5 Trinode Restructuring let (a,b,c) be an inorder listing of x, y, z perform the rotations needed to make b the topmost node of the three b=y a=z c=x T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 T3T3 b=y a=z c=x T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 T3T3 c=y b=x a=z T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 T3T3 b=x c=ya=z T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 T3T3 case 1: single rotation (a left rotation about a) case 2: double rotation (a right rotation about c, then a left rotation about a) (other two cases are symmetrical)
AVL Trees6 Insertion Example, continued 88 44 17 78 3250 48 62 2 4 1 1 2 2 3 1 54 1 T 0 T 1 T 2 T 3 x y z unbalanced......balanced T 1
AVL Trees7 Restructuring (as Single Rotations) Single Rotations:
AVL Trees8 Restructuring (as Double Rotations) double rotations:
AVL Trees9 Removal in an AVL Tree Removal begins as in a binary search tree, which means the node removed will become an empty external node. Its parent, w, may cause an imbalance. Example: 44 17 783250 88 48 62 54 44 17 7850 88 48 62 54 before deletion of 32after deletion
AVL Trees10 Rebalancing after a Removal Let z be the first unbalanced node encountered while travelling up the tree from w. Also, let y be the child of z with the larger height, and let x be the child of y with the larger height. We perform restructure(x) to restore balance at z. As this restructuring may upset the balance of another node higher in the tree, we must continue checking for balance until the root of T is reached 44 17 7850 88 48 62 54 w c=x b=y a=z 44 17 78 5088 48 62 54
AVL Trees11 Running Times for AVL Trees a single restructure is O(1) using a linked-structure binary tree find is O(log n) height of tree is O(log n), no restructures needed insert is O(log n) initial find is O(log n) Restructuring up the tree, maintaining heights is O(log n) remove is O(log n) initial find is O(log n) Restructuring up the tree, maintaining heights is O(log n)

Here is my pro-con list of Rory's loves. The winner will go on to challenge her next boyfriend in a pro-con list. Think of it as death match with pro-con lists. This is a list for the still bitter discussion which should Rory have chosen, Dean or Jess? I have always liked Jess more than Dean. For all of Jess' faults, after Rory broke up with Dean he said he had to go take care of something (break up with Shane), before he kissed her. Which is more than I can say for Dean. However, the list has spoken. Did I leave something out? Disagree with anything? Leave a comment & let me know.
|Dean Pro
|Jess Pro
Changes the water bottle
Lorelai likes him
Doesn't get in trouble
Hangs out with Lane
Planning on college
Remembers birthday
Built Rory a car
Comfortable with the phrase "I love you"
Will watch movies with Lorelai & Rory
Reads a lot
Does things his own way
|Dean Con
|Jess Con
|Not a lot of common interests
Really likes sports
Doesn't read
Doesn't feel a need to travel
Breaks up with Rory quickly
|Lorelei doesn't like him
Stood Rory up
Used Shane because he couldn't have Rory
Wrecked her car
Town doesn't like him
Didn't take her to the Prom
Not tall
Cuts school a lot
Gets in fights

Elton John's "The Diving Board"=freaking awesome
In a modern musical landscape dominated by music like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and cookie cutter nu metal, I believe I have found a breath of fresh air! This is one of the best albums I've heard all year other than Green Day's "Uno, Dos, Tre" trilogy. T-Bone Burnett did a great job with the production and him and Sir Elton make a great combination! Two singles have been released from it prior to it's release:Home Again, and Mexican Vacation. Great album, you must hear it. Even Elton's long time fans will especially enjoy it. And get the deluxe version if you can!
I can't stand weeaboos and people who keep badmouthing dubbed anime and say it sucks.

The levels are low and come from polonium-210 - which is also emitted from power station chimneys, volcanoes and the ground. Dr Denis Henshaw, of the HH Wills physics laboratory at Bristol University, an expert on radon in the environment, found significantly raised levels of polonium up to 10km from motorways.
He says in the Lancet that as a result of the findings radioactivity should be added to the list of potential cancer-causing agents in vehicle exhaust.
The researchers knew radiation in children's teeth was higher in urban areas. They say the polonium-210 (210Po) in exhaust can come from leaded petrol or as a decay product of oil.
The research into levels of polonium, which emits alpha radiation, involved the analysis of 2,000 milk and permanent teeth from children. "The results are surprising in view of the number of potentially confounding factors such as the closeness of major urban areas and the fact that we do not know the length of time children have lived at their present addresses," Dr Henshaw writes.
The researchers say that excess 210Po is taken up by bone, liver and the kidneys. "At the levels detected 210Po cannot be linked with any certainty to the occurrence of cancer."
But Dr Henshaw says that there is a potential for causing cancer based on studies of high exposure to radon gas, another emitter of alpha radiation. This is associated with leukaemia, brain tumours and kidney cancer, especially in children.
A spokesman for the National Radiological Protection Board said: "There is a lot of polonium around from a variety of sources and it is difficult to see at this stage what difference this finding will make."Reuse content

When there's no photo at the end of the day, and nothing much will happen - you know it - it's back to the garden. Here's one of my recent additions to the Scorched Summer Garden. I think (not absolutely sure) that this succulent will tolerate heat better than the camelia which used to be in this north-facing, open spot.
Otherwise, nothing new. At work I spent most of the day shelf-reading, which to library plebs, means you start at one end of your shelves and put all the books in order. Easy enough, you think, but once you get more than six numbers after the decimal point, not to mention the first three letters of the author's surname, the brain gets a bit fried. If you do it most of the day.

India have replaced their captain Sourav Ganguly with Rahul Dravid for the upcoming Test series with Sri Lanka. Ganguly has been out of form and has been involved in a dispute with the team's coach, the former Australian batsman, Greg Chappell.
India's chairman of selectors Kiran More admitted that it was time for a change of direction after appointing Dravid, who has impressed in the captaincy role in the recent one-day international series against the Sri Lankans. India, who England travel to face in a three-Test series in the spring, won 6-1.
Dravid is also in charge for the ongoing limited-overs series against South Africa, and on Saturday guided his side to a six-wicket win to end the Proteas' 20-match unbeaten run.
With India flourishing under Dravid's leadership in the one-day game, More insists it is only logical that he is handed the chance to lead the Test team as well. However, Ganguly's public row with Chappell will not have helped. The feud was exacerbated when an email from Chappell to the Indian Board, suggesting Ganguly be replaced, was leaked to the press.
"We are looking ahead and I must say Rahul is going to be our future captain," said More, chairman of the five-man Indian selection committee.
The decision to drop Ganguly - the most successful captain in India's history - from the one-day side in October caused a furore. But More believes the decision to relieve him of the captaincy was the right one.
"We always have a lot of discussions on players before they are picked. The committee's decision is unanimous," More said. "Sourav has not performed that well. We acknowledge that he scored a century against Zimbabwe. But we are not very happy with his performance during the last two to three years."
Regarding Dravid, who has previously stepped in as Test captain, More added: "He won matches against Pakistan and Australia as stand-in captain. Winning matches against Zimbabwe should not be the criteria. We should be winning against teams like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. Looking at the overall performance of Sourav, we are not happy."
Whether Ganguly will be included in the Test squad for the Sri Lanka matches remains to be seen. During five years as captain, Ganguly broke Mohammad Azharuddin's record of leading India to the most Test wins, with 21 victories from 49 matches.
* The Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie has signed a one-year contract with Yorkshire. "I am looking forward to the challenges of county cricket," said the 30-year-old. Gillespie, the fifth-highest wicket taker in Australian Test history with 251 victims at 26.61 runs each, lost his place during a disappointing Ashes tour.Reuse content

This Wednesday we will learn how far Gordon Brown's sums are from the numbers he first thought of. We know government borrowing is running way above his Budget forecast, largely because of a shortfall in taxes. What we don't know is what, if anything, he proposes to do about it.
The pre-Budget report each autumn has become almost as important as the Budget itself. Aside from the requirement to produce a new economic and financial forecast, the Chancellor uses it to preview various measures he will announce in the Budget, as well as giving new spending limits to government departments.
This will be his most difficult year yet. In his first term of office, Mr Brown was able to play Santa. Thanks to strong economic growth, falling interest rates, buoyant revenues from existing taxes, his new stealth taxes and tight control of spending, the sums always turned out better than forecast. So he could keep announcing new spending measures and still pay off debt.
Now these favourable circumstances have flipped into reverse. Growth is still reasonable, but interest rates are starting to climb, particularly long-term rates. Revenues from some of the big taxes, especially income tax, have been disappointing. We have wised up to stealth taxes. And spending has shot up to such an extent that some people within the Government believe the Treasury has lost control. As a result, the Government is borrowing much more than forecast.
Just how much more we will learn this week. During the first six months of the financial year, it borrowed over £21bn, against a target for the full year of £27bn. That does not mean the full-year outcome will be £42bn because a large wodge of tax hits us in January. But it does suggest an overshoot. That, at least, is what the markets expect: the forecast of HSBC, for example, is for borrowing of more than £34bn.
This is worrying because, on growth, the Treasury has been more or less right. Most of us thought that its Budget forecast of growth of 2 to 2.5 per cent plus was over the top. At the time, the markets expected growth of more like 1.5 per cent. But there seems to have been a sudden spurt and some of the forecasts now suggest a little over 2 per cent may be right after all.
Good growth normally creates more jobs, which in turn bring in more tax revenue. What has gone wrong?
The first graph gives part of the answer. Total employment over the past year has indeed risen by 127,000. But full-time employment has actually fallen by 77,000 (and private sector full-time employment has fallen even more). The additional jobs have come from part-timers and the self-employed. Socially, this may be desirable, for most people working part-time have chosen to do so, while self-employment is, to some extent, a measure of economic vitality. But both groups, in the early stages at least, pay less income tax than full-timers.
You can see the shortfall in the next graph. In the first term, income tax (the bars) came in well above estimates but that, people thought, was because unemployment (the line) was also better than estimates. For the past three years, however, unemployment has continued to be better than expected, whereas income tax has been worse.
Tax revenues have other problems too. Corporation tax receipts have been poor and stamp duty on shares (but not on houses) has also fallen. Capital gains tax has been down because there have been so few capital gains. On the other hand, VAT has done well, reflecting the continuing consumer boom. Were the growth of consumption to slow, as many believe it will, VAT might be in trouble too.
The potential impact is shown in the final graph, which charts budget surpluses and deficits since 1970 as a percentage of GDP. By past standards, this dip into deficit seems modest and the Treasury predicts that we will climb back to less than 2 per cent of GDP by 2006. But if the present deficit is largely structural rather than cyclical, then we may not.
The HSBC prediction is that, unless something is done about it, the deficit will go on rising to 4 per cent of GDP. By world standards, that may not be too bad: the US, Japan, France, Italy and Germany are all in worse shape. But it would bust the Chancellor's golden rule that current spending should be balanced by taxation over the economic cycle. A huge amount of fuss has been made over the rise in personal borrowing, the extent to which consumers may be over-extending themselves, what might happen were the property market to crash and so on. But given the drag from adverse demography, maybe we should be more worried about the Government overextending itself.
Ultimately, government debts have to be serviced by taxpayers - the same people who have run up their own borrowing. But we do at least have some assets against our personal borrowings - houses, loft conversions, whatever. This rise in government borrowing is not set against additional assets, and the quality of the additional services it is supposed to be delivering is suspect.
To be clear: there is no fiscal catastrophe in the short term; and it is perfectly sensible to allow some rise in the deficit during a downturn. The problem is that this has not been much of a downturn, yet the deficit is still pushing upwards. The proposition that we should pay higher taxes for better services is a perfectly reasonable one, assuming that the services can indeed be delivered. But that is not on offer. The rather less agreeable option seems to be higher taxes for the same level of services, or much higher taxes for slightly better services. The Chancellor won't admit that on Wednesday, but he must be pondering how long he can hold things together before he moves on to whatever job comes next.Reuse content

New article in JHS: P. Guillaume, The Unlikely Malachi-Jonah Sequence (4QXIIa)
Expand Messages
- Dear all,
This is just to let you know that the Journal of Hebrew Scriptures (http://www.jhsonline.org <http://www.jhsonline.org/> ) has recently published the following article:
Philippe Guillaume, "The Unlikely Malachi-Jonah Sequence (4QXIIa)"
Many studies on the formation of the collection of the Twelve Minor Prophets take for granted that the 4QXIIa manuscript provides evidence that the Book of Jonah stood at the end of a scroll of the Twelve and that this sequence could have been the original one. Examination of the reconstruction of the scroll published in the DJD XV volume reveals that the Malachi-Jonah sequence is highly hypothetical and should not be considered as firm evidence.

But I cannot find the list anywhere?
Can you guide me in the right direction?
Best regards
Thank you for contacting us. Please take a look at the attached project which contains all the necessary styles for restyling RadDateSelector.
If you examine the project, you will see that the style that is being applied to the RadDateSelector (x:Key="DateSelectorStyle") has 3 DateTimeList controls. Each DateTimeList's Style is set to DateTimeListStyle (Style="{StaticResource DateTimeListStyle}"). In DateTimeListStyle, there's a property ItemStyle which is set to DateTimeListItemStyle. DateTimeListItemStyle is what you should be editing if you want to change the appearance of each item in RadDateSelector.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Harvest has done the job for me for at least 5 years. I absolutely love the product. Great app as well on both iOS and Android.
Pros :
Cons :
No cons honestly... obviously would be nicer if it were cheaper, but is better than all other products on the market that do the same thing and priced about the same as them.

The Physics Education Division is organising a workshop in conjunction with the Institute of Physics (IOP), London, at the forthcoming joint GIREP-EPEC-ICPE conference in Dublin (July 3-7, 2017, details available at http://www.girep2017.org/). The workshop will be led by the IOP, who have a long-standing interest in supporting physics education in Africa through their IOP for Africa programme.
The Women in Africa foundation, true to its mission of contributing to the development of Africa through its women, is launching the second edition of the SCIENCE BY WOMEN programme with the aim of promoting African women's leadership in scientific research and technology transfer and to foster the capacity of the research centres in their home countries.
The First African Light Source Conference will take place from 15-20 November 2015 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility [ESRF] in Grenoble, France. It is the first in a series of conferences that will be held in Africa in the future.
The conference will review the status of the African User Base at international light sources with presentations of the African research at Light Sources.
The third biennial African School of fundamental physics (ASP) and applications took place in Dakar Senegal from 3 to 23 2014. The school explores theoretical, experimental, applied physics and computing aspects of the field. It covers a wide range of topics: particle physics, particle detectors, astro-particle physics and cosmology, accelerator technologies and some of the applications, such as medical physics, light sources, and Grid computing. The participating students are selected from all over Africa and beyond. The selected students receive full bursaries…
The High Energy Stereoscopic System [HESS] II began operation on 26 July this year. The Namibia-based Cherenkov telescope will, in conjunction with the four smaller telescopes which make up the HESS observatory, study high-energy gamma ray sources such as pulsars, supermassive black holes and supernovae.
Weighing in at around 600 tons, with its 28 meter mirror – the size of two adjacent tennis courts – HESS II is now the world's largest Cherenkov telescope…
The 'Low cost high physics and appropriate solutions to real life for developing countries' conference was held in Yaounde, Cameroon, on 8-9 December last year.
The scope of the conference was to:

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Xinhua) -- The Texas Department of State Health Services said Tuesday that a woman, who died earlier this week, has been the first death of a United States resident with A/H1N1 flu.
According to the department, the victim lived in Cameron County, along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Texas Department of State Health services "is reporting the first death of a Texas resident with H1N1 flu. A woman from Cameron County who had chronic underlying health conditions died earlier this week," it said in a statement.
On April 29, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a 23-month old toddler in Texas has become the first fatality from A/H1N1 flu in the United States. The child is a Mexican who traveled to Texas for medical treatment. He is also the first person to die of A/H1N1 flu outside of Mexico.

Of course, I couldn't just cook them entirely sour. I'm not that much of a glutton for punishment. To the berries I added two teaspoons of sugar, one teaspoon of finely grated orange zest, and the juice of one orange. That's how easy it is. Then I just left it to simmer over a slow heat for a while; this took maybe twenty minutes at the most. I don't really know, because I was somewhat distracted by the careful unveiling of the cake. ;)
Oh, and while I remember, you should all learn from my mistakes: make sure that you puncture the berries with a knife so that they don't explode. The first explosion sent a small amount of delicious cranberry in a decorative streak across the stovetop. I quickly removed the berries from the heat, cleaned up the offender, and popped the rest with a small paring knife, so as to avoid further waste. I hate wasting food, but I hate it even more when it's this delicious.
Of course, you could just circumnavigate that process completely by cutting the cranberries in half before you cook them. Previously, I'd never know that cranberries are white in the centre. I'd simply bought them frozen and used them whole in a cranberry teacake, or used the dried ones in muesli and biscuits. So it was nice to play with fresh ones, and perhaps I'll do that again one day; whenever I'm next in the USA, maybe! Oh, dreams of travel...
Speaking of dreams, this cake freezes really well. I know that individually wrapping it isn't a good idea because of the environmental complications, but I do use this method occasionally, when I have limited freezer space. The girlfriend of my housemate has moved in for 6 weeks (much longer than I was warned about!) before they move into their own apartment, so I'll just have to accept being an environmental vandal until then. I'm thankful that I'm going travelling with my sister over Christmas, I'll say that much. So, if you're like me and you've frozen half of your cake to take as morning tea to your study or work commitments, then use the rest of this compote over fresh bread, or even mixed into some warm oats. You won't regret it.

Title: Sleep
Artist: j_mercuryuk
Fandom: Thor
Pairing/characters: No pairings. Loki, Frigga and Thor
Rating: U
Warnings: None
Summary: Loki is scared of the storm and Frigga comforts him.
Song Prompt: Sleep (Poets of the Fall)
Author's Note: This actually turned out as lot softer and fluffier than I thought it would. It started with a very dark idea and it turn out that way, which is odd because it tends to go the other way for me. I've gone on the assumption that Thor and Loki were probably raised more by a nurse rather than their mother and father.
A small deep rumble as he was placed into bed was his first warning, causing the beginning of nerves to bubble in his gut. The nurse looked to the large open balcony, a small smile on her lips. "It seems as if we will have a storm tonight, my prince. Your brother will be very happy."
Loki bit his bottom lip as he glanced towards the approaching clouds, little more than a dark smudge at present. Such weather was rare in Asgard, he could only remember two others in his five short years, but the small boy dreaded each occurrence. Thor adored them. He had no doubt that his brother would be out on the balcony, most likely on the balustrade if he could, arms raised to the heavens as he laughed and shouted, standing tall. The fact that his brother relished the storms did little to ease Loki, often it simply made him feel worse, more isolated. Thor would be oblivious to his plight, too caught up in the tempest and the younger brother would merely become upset that the elder boy took so much joy in something he hated so.
The nurse moved to the balcony, drawing the large shutters closed, plunging the room into near darkness, the only light radiating from the dying fire and the moonlight that streamed through the small gaps. The nurse chatted happily away as she worked. "It would be best to keep these closed tonight. I know you would prefer them open, but we would not want your chamber to be flooded, now do we?" Loki shook his head, her comment merely adding to his worries. Was it really possibly for the storm to flood his room? His nurse gave him a bright smile, "Sleep well, your highness," and she slipped from the room. No doubt to attend to his brother and try to stop the boy from venturing outside during the squall.
Another rumble rolled across the room and Loki swore he could feel it vibrate through his bed. He chewed on his lip. He would not be scared this time. He would not be frightened by a little bit of light and noise. He would not be frightened. He would not be frightened. He wou-
He jumped as the thunder clap came closer, louder, and he pulled the thick woollen blanket up to his eyes. One...two…three…four…five..si-
The sudden flash of lightening filtered through the shutters, harshly illuminating the room for no more than a second. A small gasp escaped the boy and he retreated under the safety of the blanket, crawling to curl in the centre of the bed. He tried so hard to ignore the thunder, he truly did, but with a rumble the tempest drew closer and closer. The noise became louder until it seemed to rattle the wooden shutters, the lightening intensified until it penetrated the soft wool that covered him and the rain pounded furiously against the stone walls. He covered his ears, but to no avail; the sound would not be blocked. He screwed his eyes tighter and he was sure he could hear his brother laughing in the room opposite his.
Perhaps if he could sit in his brother's room… Though Thor would be bad company under these circumstances, at least he would not be alone and maybe, just maybe, he would notice Loki's discomfort and sit with him. While his brother was obtuse, he was not unkind.
Another roar of thunder reminded him that Thor would be outside on the balcony at this very moment, his shutters thrown wide open and he wondered briefly if his brother's room would be flooded as his nurse had warned. The elder boy's room would be wet and cold, at the mercy of the elements and the storm more prominent there than anywhere in the realm, but he didn't want to be alone.
The young child crawled to the edge of the bed, peeking out at the door from under the blanket, debating his conundrum. A sudden loud clap startled Loki, sending him falling to the floor. It was so different from the ones before that rumbled through the sky like boiling water, or deep laughter mocking him. This one was a sharp short noise that seemed to cut through the air like the crack of a whip, slicing through the very walls of the palace itself. It was followed a hair's breadth later by a flash of lightning that flooded the room with a sharp light, trying to reach the little prince to strike him down… Or at least, that was how it seemed to the boy.
The room faded back to darkness and Loki scrambled forward to the door, half tripping over his feet as he went. A whimper caught in his throat as he fumbled with the door handle above him, which broke into a sob as another crack and flash swarmed around him. The handle finally turned and he tumbled into the hallway.
If he was truly honest, the child had little idea of what he was doing and where he was going. He screwed his eyes shut once more and covered his ears where he crouched in the middle of the corridor. He just wanted to get away.
The child's wide eyes turned up, his hands falling away from his ears as his gazed up at his mother. It was a strange sight to the boy; he spent the majority of his day with his nurse, as was the way with these things. Kings and Queens did not have time to spend their day indulging their children. When he was in the presence of his mother she always seemed so … regal. Not now.
Her hair was pulled back into a single, simple braid and she did not wear her court regalia, but a simple night robe. In one hand she held a lantern, bathing her face in a warm glow, while her other hand clasped the front of her shawl. The expression was not that of Odin's noble queen, but a bemused mother.
Another crack of thunder ripped through the hallway, scaring Loki back into his huddled position. So determined to block out the tempest, he never noticed her approach and crouch down beside him, but he felt the soft hand on his shoulder. "Do you fear the storm?"
He nodded, not wanting to look up. There was a soft sigh that wasn't unkind and he heard the soft clink of the lantern being laid down. Her gentle hands slipped under his arms, picking him off the ground and pulling him against the warm of her body. His arms found her neck and clung to his mother, who took a hold of the lamp once more. He buried his face into the crook of her neck in a feeble attempt to hide from the squall raging outside. She gripped him a little tighter as she walked, quietly telling him how she too feared storms when she was a small child.
From a brief glance up, he was aware that they had entered his room again, and for a second he feared that she would simply place him back into his bed and tell him to go back to sleep. Instead she made her way to the fire place, setting down her lantern once and for all and adding another log to the fire, allowing heat to seep back into the room. As she took the nearby seat, she shifted her shawl so that it enveloped both her and her son.
Despite the elements that barraged the palace, growing wilder every minute, he felt his fear fade ever-so slightly, held as securely as he was. He listened, ear against her breast as she hummed a lullaby, soothing the bite away from his terror. The storm did not seem quite as terrifying as it did when he was alone in his bed. Just as he thought that perhaps he was no longer scared, the storm reasserted its presence and he tightened his grip on his mother.
Frigga laughed softly. "The more you grow, the more I am convinced that you and your brother are like night and day."
"Which am I?"
She hummed before replying. "I believe you will be more like the night."
He turned his face back into the cloth of her robe. "I do not like the night," he muttered, breathing in his mother's fragrance of flora and… honey? "Why does Thor love these storms?"
He knew she was smiling; her voice was laced with love and affection. "On the evening of Thor's birth, there was a mighty storm, far stronger than tonight's. It was as if the very heavens were announcing and welcoming their new god into the realm. He was greeted into the world with thunder and lightning, they are like an old friend to him whom he must greet. They are as much a part of him as his very soul."
"How was I born?" came Loki small reply, for surely all gods must be welcomed into Asgard in such a dramatic fashion. If Thor's was thunder, then what was his?
Frigga did not answer for a moment and her son looked up in confusion, wondering why she hesitated. He caught something in her eyes, but it was gone before he knew it, replaced with a small smile and a loving voice. "You joined our family on the closing of the last great war. Your father won a war and welcomed you into the realm."
It certainly didn't seem anywhere near as dramatic as thunder and lightning; it seemed positively dull in comparison. As if to confirm his point the storm outside gave another almighty crack and Loki buried his head further into his mother. Frigga lifted her hand, her fingers caressing the child's dark locks. "You may not think it's as worthy a claim," the woman continued, now rocking back and forth a little, "but winning a war is no mean feat and peace is far harder to maintain. However, it is worth more than all of the riches in all of the realms. In an era of peace, we need sharp minds and smooth tongues. We need men who are clever and subtle in their ways who can hold the peace that so many died for. It is the learned men and men of wisdom that become the pillars of the realms, not the warriors. You arrival heralded the era of intelligence; not brawn."
Loki thought on this, still unimpressed by it all. It still seemed to him that the warriors were respected more than the scholars, but something inside him was pleased by the comparison. He just wished it wasn't so…mundane.
"I still do not like the storm." Loki mumbled, his voice muffled against her body.
The queen rested her cheek against his head. "I did not expect anything else, but if we cannot vanquish your fears, I will have to soothe them. My nurse used to sing to me when I was frightened girl," and she started to hum an old lullaby, one she hadn't heard since she was young. She dug into the corners of her memory for the words, coaxing them to the surface as she softly sang, rocking Loki gently as she did so.
She watched him, his body relaxing, his eyes drifting shut and his breaths becoming deep and even, and she continued to sing softly to him as the storm passed over them, retreating to leave Asgard to sleep in peace. Still she watched him and silently mused to herself.
To think that this small frightened child was the son of Laufey. Seeing him sleep now, it was hard to imagine that he was the same creature of which mothers whispered to their children to make them behave. She broke into a wide smile as she tried not to laugh. She imaged parents setting Loki on their sons and daughters to make them go to bed. They would have more trouble than when they started and Loki would probably have an army of restless children by now. Oh what a terrifying thought that was; Asgard would never know peace from her son.
Her smile became soft, almost melancholy. Yes, Loki was her son, her very own clever little boy. She tightened her grip on the child, drawing him closer to her breast. He was hers and nothing would ever change that. The boy didn't belong to the frost giants or Laufey. He was Odin-son, her son. Even if all of Jotunhiem came marching to their doorstep, demanding their prince back, she would never give him to them. They had abandoned their chance and she would not let her boy be taken away, no more than she could give up Thor.
She pressed a kiss to the top of Loki's head. He was her boy now and nothing would ever change that; she had grown very attached to him. Everything that Thor lacked, Loki had and she was so proud to see them in him. Between them she had everything she could wish for in her children and more.
She would have to make more time for him, for both the boys. Loki had yet to start lessons, perhaps she would tell the nurse that she wished to see him in the afternoons, or perhaps that both her sons should be left with her after the evening meal until they were put to bed. Yes, both sounded promising. She would have to speak to the nurse.
The door suddenly jerked open. "Lo-…Mother?"
Frigga looked up to see her eldest standing in the doorway, staring wide-eyed at the two sitting calmly in the chair. His grin fell from his face in favour of confusion, clearly never suspecting that he would find his mother when he burst into his brother's room. He stood there, one hand still on the door handle, dripping wet. Frigga sighed, that was another thing the queen must speak to the nurse about. It really was not suitable for Thor to be outside during storms, and she had no doubt that he had been doing just that. His night clothes were soaked through, raindrops running down his skin while his hair clung to his face. There was a quiet pit-pat as the drops of water hit the marble floor, forming a growing puddle around the boy, but the clearest indication of the boy's activities was the air of excitement and glee that could not even be smothered by confusion.
Thor opened his mouth, but Frigga held up her hand to stop him. "Quietly, son. Your brother sleeps and we do not wish to wake him, now do we?" She was amazed that he had not done so already. Ever the boisterous one, Thor had not entered the room in what one would call a quiet manner.
Her son closed his mouth and moved towards them, leaving behind a trail of water, his feet slapping damply against the cold stone floor. He stopped by the arm of her chair, eyeing Loki, and Frigga could see a hint of jealousy in those eyes.
"Why are you here, Thor? It is late."
The blond's eyes suddenly lit up, joy radiating from him as he forgot about his brother and turned to his mother. He opened his mouth wide.
"Quietly," she reminded him.
Thor nodded, closing his mouth a little, but his excitement never diminished. "Was it not a splendid storm, mother?" He grinned widely and Frigga noticed that the rain had died away' and the thunder was once again just a gentle rumble in the distance. She had not been aware that the storm had moved so far. How long had she been sitting here?
"I did not see it; I was inside with your brother."
The boy looked up at her curiously. "Why?"
"Loki was scared of the storm, so I sat with him and sang him to sleep."
The confusion returned to the boy's face. "Loki is scared of storms?"
"Yes, many are?"
"They are?"
Thor blinked up at her. "But…why?"
She brushed his soaking blond strands away from his face with her free hand. "For many different reasons." She watched him, a light frown appearing on his brow as he tried the digest and understand why anyone would fear his beloved storms. "We all fear something; some of our fears make more sense than others."
The boy thought about this a moment before nodding and moving on to more important matters. "You sang to Loki?"
"A little."
Thor's face split into a wide grin. "Sing to me as well," he demanded a little too loudly, making the sleeping child stir, though thankfully he did not wake.
He started to climb up, but she raised her hand to stop him. "Not like that. I do not sing to young princes who are soaked to the bone or who speak too loudly near their sleeping brothers."
"Then I shall be neither," he declared in a stage whisper before spinning round and running from the room.
She shook her head as she heard Thor slide, slip and fall on the floor with a small 'ouf', but before she could react he was back on his feet and out of the room. It wouldn't be long before he was changed, dried and demanding a song.
Holding onto her sleeping son, she stood, barely noting the dying fire that hinted at how much time had passed since she entered the room. Carrying Loki back to his bed, she deposited him on the mattress. Reaching down, she picked the blanket from where it lay crumpled on the floor, no doubt when Loki had rushed from his room, and laid it back over her youngest. Smoothing down his hair she placed one last kiss on his temple, taking in his peaceful form and there was a deep tug at her heart.
Yes, Loki was as much hers as Thor and she would never let either of them go easily.
The End
