those lonely eyes
don't have to be alone tonight
There wasn’t enough time for me to turn around and see just how everyone had thought to respond to the witch tossing the egg, but I felt that I didn’t need to. I’d watched the creature clutch the infant to her breast just moment before and I’d studied the way she cared for her precious cargo. Yes, the witch was a questionable individual, but did this fit her memo? To me, there was more to the story. It didn’t matter what magic the others used or how they attempted to break the egg’s fall, because all of this was a hoax.
Instead of racing toward the pit and the “egg” that was meant to throw everyone off balance, I turned back toward the witch perched above. Her movement had been planned and almost undetectable, but she had turned. She had twisted to plant the babe somewhere safe while switching it for a fake. I rumbled at the creature and though she was out of my reach, I attempted to circled beneath her in search of where she’d tucked the real egg.
“Where is it?” I asked worriedly. If I was wrong then I faced looking like a fool, but if I were right then I would find a way to wrestle the babe from those devious feathers and attempt to determine a rightful owner myself. This was a series of tests… backward tests at that. The witch wanted to see how many of us would fling ourselves into the fire? Fine.
I wasn’t going to fall for her games.

Summary: Thor doesn’t believe that the creature threw the egg anywhere and instead believes that she used a fake egg to pitch into the fire. He attempts to look for the egg from below her.
