And yet, annoying as it may be, there is little you can do but endure. Yet you might end up enjoying yourself.

[ Doubtful, but why not tease a little. ]

[ you have a nerve. ]

I know well of enduring, Loki of jotunheim

[ Of course he has. But so have you, if that little twitch of irritation in his face is any indication. ]

Well. How nice of you to remember my name. I think you have proven your endurance already. Just as your creativity in regards of finding amusement. Truly. All the things you could have done with the Aether and you pick the path that will lead to your demise and the extinction of your kind.

[ He remembers much. Although there such bite to the words that are being spoken, Malekith can't help the slightest of grin. ]

Your words are merely a boast to how little you know of us.

I know that your attack on Asgard was foiled.

[ At an admittedly high cost, but he shall not speak of that. ]

And that your little plan did only end up beneficial for one of us.

[ And yet he will not thank you. ]

I beg to differ. I think, actually, it went rather well.

[ But that last part is true and there are many reasons beyond matters of pride that he will not speak of it. ]

But of course it went rather well in regards of informing everyone in the nine realms including Hela herself in a timely manner just what your intentions were.

Next time... Try to find a suitable ally ahead of time and maybe try for a more subtle approach.

A suitable ally. [ Does this.. man, thing, crossbreed, whatever - think Malekith is anywhere near the type to align with anyone not his own. Really. And then he thinks that the nine realms are even the large concern of his. What does he care of Hela? There were plenty more burial grounds than Helheim but he'd not favored to talking so much.]

Do continue. [ observe his well crafted false interest ]

[ And he admires the craftsmanship, he truly does. He might even enjoy that company of yours to certain levels. And yet, you tend to aim so high. You wish to trample the whole city, yet can't get past the neighbor's dog.

Still, Loki has a smile left for you. Just remember that he is but as false as yourself. ]

Just a little distraction, really. Someone to cause a fuzz and take the beating while you set about to do your... Thing. And I am not talking about the witless canon fodder you call your underlings.

[ His reasons are his alone and they spread into a very deep place of desperation and self destruction that - for pride sake - he will never admit. He'd rather be seen a madman than as a lost man. ]

I suspect you have more in mind. Tell me, what use would this do for you?

For me?

[ He feigns bemusement, shaking his head. ]

Oh no. I have no further plans at this moment. You already helped me acquire what I sought. I merely decided to return the favor.

[ The lie rest in the smirk. His own ulterior motives? No, he is not sharing those. ]

[ Let's analyse this. You don't look like a jotun so that is either a lie or you're a sorcerer. You don't look like an Asgardian either so the chances are, sorcerer. Considering previous events, one with his own motive. Something Malekith could respect, really, but he wont. ]

And what is it, precisely, you think I want?

The last time I checked, you wanted to plunge the universe into eternal darkness. A goal you held on to for the past five thousand years, so it would surprise me if you plain discarded of it just because the Aether was taken from you, again. At this time, however, your original plan would be futile to pursuit, even if I gave it to you this very moment. So you may be bidding your time, brooding. Or setting for revenge, which usually happens to be a quite fun way to spend an excess of time.

Though, if we are quite honest here, then you probably just hope to escape the mind of your mundane. Yet, unfortunately, you are stuck with them.

Quite unfortunately.

So to the other point of facts: I find myself at a loss to how repaying me would aid you. Surely you know that you would likely die.

Why would that bother you?

[ Not that he appears bothered. There is but a faint hint of curiosity swinging with those words... ]

Fool me once, Loki.

[ Just a smirk. Oh, lovely distrust...

He settles with a defeated, yet still bemused sigh and takes a step away. ]

I guess I will have to accept that.

I feel that acceptance is not in your nature. If you'd like to try again sometime, come find me.

I may. If only because it would be rude to simply ignore such a generous offer.

It would indeed. If you're so inclined, the mun also extends such an invitation.

It is appreciated and shall be kept in mind.

[ With that, he inclines his head somewhat and is gone. ]
