[Good, because Loki is studying that suspicious lump and flutter against his back.]

If it's not we'll find a way to deal. Off with the shirt and show me the damage, so I know what I'm dealing with.

[A hint of command in the tone too, this is a Prince demanding compliance here.]

To start with, the feast was enchanted. Which I suspected, but it only seemed to put us in a good mood. Likely to make us more pliable to what came after. The clothing and ball most certainly were, as I wonder just how many of us actually were there, as it never seemed too crowded or to not be 'busy'. The mistletoe was the most obvious enchantment, but it wouldn't surprise me to find others put around to encourage good feeling and fellowship among us all. A sense of openness. At some point, we all started to feel comfortable and sleepy, and that was when we had a dream involving a golden dragon. Warning us that we were being tricked, and to remember why we do not want to be here. Also that it needed our help. A few of us snapped out of things easily upon waking, others not so luckily so. Amnesia and some memory modifications.

[Succinct and giving him the briefing as it were.]
