Loki caught wind of this celebration ahead of time, but with limited background information on the host, and a keen awareness that these sorts of parties can get a bit crazy, he opted to come alone. The turn of the seasons is important to acknowledge and celebrate, though; even more for him than for beings less connected to myth and magic. He has tended to neglect spring and summer holidays in favor of fall and winter, but--
Well. It's time to rebalance.
He's dressed unusually simply, in a loose dusty-green tunic over black trousers, but his hair is braided back intricately and threaded with sprigs of evergreen. He does come bearing gifts: the cake he carries is store-bought, just plain angelfood, but it's covered with candied flowers. Rose petals, lilacs, violets, and golden-colored violas are scattered on the cake and in the box. They were sugared by the children, as a fun afternoon project which got out of hand, and there are so many more candied flowers back at home.
It's a token, really, but he's glad he brought something once he sees what's already there. Cream and berries, reindeer milk cheese, and mead are all too appealing to his taste for sweets and fats to resist.
He manages to hold off for a moment, though, pausing to admire the banner with eyes absolutely shining with pleasure.
