He spoke to none until he came to Frigga's palace. To Frigga he said, "You must lend me your falcon dress until I fly to Thrym's dwelling and find out if he knows where Miölnir is." "If every feather was silver I would give it to you to go on such an errand," Frigga said. So Loki put on the falcon dress and flew to Jötunheim and came near Thrym's dwelling.
He wondered at the sight, but he knew that he might not ask the meaning of it from the ones who knew him. He changed his shape into that of an old woman and he went amongst those who were making sport for Baldur. He spoke to Dwarfs and friendly Giants. "Go to Frigga and ask. Go to Frigga and ask," was all the answer Loki got from any of them. Then to Fensalir, Frigga's mansion, Loki went.
Odur has gone from Asgard and no one knows where to search for him." "I will seek him outside of Asgard," Freya said.

When Loki had left the presence of Frigga, he changed himself back to his proper shape and went straight to the west side of Valhalla, where the mistletoe grew. Then he opened his knife and cut off a large bunch, saying these words, "Too young for Frigga's oaths, but not too weak for Loki's work." After which he set off for the Peacestead once more, the mistletoe in his hand.
Oh, black and direful was it in Asgard, the day that Loki ate the heart that the flames would not devour! He stole Frigga's dress of falcon feathers. Then as a falcon he flew out of Asgard. Jötunheim was the place that he flew toward. The anger and the fierceness of the hawk was within Loki as he flew through the Giants' Realm.
He could not endure to have Baldur so loved, and wished that some one could harm him. At last Loki dressed himself up as an old woman and went to Frigga's palace. Kind Frigga took the old woman by the hand and brought her into Fensalir. Loki, in the shape of the old woman, pretended to be very friendly. "Do you know what the gods are doing to Baldur when you are not by?" Loki asked.

Strange to say, however, they can never meet again, for only one comes to earth at a time.
One after another they turned and went towards the city; crushed hearts, heavy footsteps, no word amongst them, a shadow upon all. The shadow was in Asgard, too had walked through Frigga's hall and seated itself upon the threshold of Gladsheim. Odin had just come out to look at it, and Frigga stood by in mute despair as the AEsir came up. "Loki did it!
And as soon as Thor's day is over, then comes Frigga's day. They come to earth, but never meet." "Why, how queer it all is! When I say the names of the days of the week, it will seem as if you were telling me the story again." "And now a little more, Hilda. Do you remember the colors of the robes that Frigga wore?" "You said she wore green or white robes, or sometimes scarlet and gold.
