Anyway, I wooed her a little, spun her a little yarn or two, and one thing led to another. Fine. Thor had a place of his own to sleep, far from Sif’s bedchamber, so the lady’s reputation was safe — that is, until the moment at which Yours Truly decided (in an early-morning moment of madness) to mark his victory by taking a trophy — in the form of the lady’s hair, which spilled across the pillow like grain.
So shoot me. I cut it off.
To be fair, I assumed she could grow it back, or change her Aspect the way I could. My mistake. How could I have known? Apparently, the Aesir can’t change their shape like the Vanir can. But the Goddess of Plenty has a great deal tied up, so to speak, in her hair; it’s where most of her powers lie, and without knowing it, in a single snip, Yours Truly had robbed her not only of her beauty, but also of her Goddess Aspect.
