Where did the name foruneyti come from? Like, what does it mean, I've always been curious as to that.
It'sOld Norse!Parts: fǫr (noun f.) ‘journey, fate; movement’ •neyti (noun n.) ‘company’
Ifyou literally translate the title it will say 'company', but I lovehow the first part of the word both means journey, fate, and movementas well, as those can all be linked to the story.Â
The whole fic iscentered around different forms of company: parents, friends, theparty of men with which healer travels, the princes, royalty,etc., and so it is one of the main motives of the entire plot. Iwrite Loki as a rather secluded man who doesn't appreciate thecompany of just anyone, as this is how I personally see him - and sowhen someone comes along that proves to be an exception to that rulehe will have to rethink all that he thought was true about himself.In short: healer's company will change him, as much as Loki's companywill change healer. Then of course their meeting in the storm wasfate! If the storm hadn't come, if they hadn't been attacked, if Lokihadn't been wounded, if they hadn't found the village, if healerhadn't been there, Loki might never have fallen in love. The journeypart is pretty obvious, as they are traveling for most of the story,and movement fits the same category - though it could also meanmovement in character, in emotions, in almost anything that changes.
Ihope this clears things up a bit! ^^
