"He was, but he recovered quickly enough. Bragging that clearly Thor was not so mighty, though crown prince he might be. Our friends were just as baffled, and Thor too concerned that he'd been found unworthy to remember all the qualities Mjolnir had which might've solved this easily. The blood was up, and young Asgardians can be quite....aggressive if wanted. Things started to go south, when I stepped in as peacemaker."
Considering it had been Loki's fault...'peacemaker' clearly did not mean he intended things to go smoothly.
"'What, oh new friend Thrym, will you do with your newfound worthiness?' I asked, as Thor let out a roar of despair and anger. 'Why, your highness, I would ask the lady Sif for her hand in marriage'. He replied, and was met with laughter. 'You would ask, and she would likely cut your tongue out for the offense!' Fandral replied, with Hogun agreeing with him. This of course was not the reply that Thrym wanted, whereupon he pointed to Thor."
Another brief pause for some more food, but again--Loki was not given to torment in story telling.
"'Your Royal Highness, I have proven myself by Mjolnir's worth. Have your friends hold their tongues!' Well, you can imagine just how well that demand went down." Loki's tone was highly amused and dry as a desert. "Before blows could be struck, I interjected again. 'Ho there, Thrym, my brother---peace a moment. I've a way to solve this.' All eyes were on me now, and so I laid out that if we were to persuade Lady Sif to agree to marry Thrym, he would give up claim to Mjolnir and give it back to Thor, provided he could lift it. It would need to be done with most haste to avoid a big to do as Lady Sif was a noble."
