[ Now if that isn't a face he could have done without... ]

If you seek to meet the old fool, then you may be looking at the wrong place.

[ Well if it isn't the house traitor. ] You would know his bidding well.

[ Oh, but you sure could be at least a little proud of him by now. He doesn't outright blame his heritage for all his twisted deeds. ]

At the very least I used to, indeed.

What is it you may want from him?

[ He might be. Well, Laufey's heard the great One Eye is more weary than ever. What a perfect time to reminisce over hardships and strife between one another. ] Our history goes back further than I think you know, boy.

Which merely proves that the both of you are getting old.

[ And remember just for a moment that this boy took your life. He bids you welcome. ]

[ And behold, here he is. Through the power of rp and niflheim if you wanted to get super technical and bullshitty. Fool me once, Loki. ]

I trust you have a further point.

[ That wondrous power called rp has him come across Frigga more often than he deems himself comfortable with. Coming across the dreaded ghost that is his biological father, however? A first. He may have to scream later. ]

None as of now. Just a faint hope that the two of you will either refrain from starting another war or at least ensure to inform everyone else ahead of time.

Some of us may wish to watch.

With the amount of disaster you make on your own, what need is there for war? [ Come on Loki, deception is crucial in battle and as if Odin would be any less elusive on the matter. ]

[ That may be true, but if he isn't poking around he will never get the information he needs to get involved and ensure things go as unfortunate as possible for all the nine realms. ]

You humble me. But keep in mind that a single man can only achieve so much.

[ You wont get anything from him either way. Let's revisit the you killed him situation. He's not as dimwitted as you might think. ]

You've put yourself in an impressive position within the order of the nine realms, but it is not lasting.

[ Well, he'd actually hoped so. It was disappointing enough how easily he got you that time while knowing he happens to be your actual offspring. ]

This [ and he smirks ] I dare to dispute.

Keep in mind that I have only just begun to work my ways.

[ Your patricide was almost touching but he thinks its less because you're jotun and such bloodlust is jotun trait and more that you're afraid, or were. Perhaps now it's more disgusted and bitter. Wouldn't he just love to pull that out. ]

Yet you have a reputation crawling through the realms as a liar. Without trust, your resources thin.

[ That may be true, indeed. But Loki is none to actually admit to such weaknesses and rather covers them up instead of dealing with them properly. But according to the narrative you may be perfectly welcome to give it a try~ ]

Those who focus too much on the Liar are an easy prey for the Trickster, however.

[ Oh, so smug. ]

[ Laufey vaguely recalls Odin commenting on Loki's similarities to him. He wonders how true that really is. The pride is one, certainly. ]

Always seeking what is not expected. Lie or truth. You must have an observant eye.

[ Being considered a ruthless monster already makes two. ]

Watching is an ability gained with enough practice.

[ Such as watching Thor being the celebrated and loved golden prince of Asgard. Just to name one example. ]

[ Congratulations. You're a Jotun whether you like it or not. The long history if discord gets really interesting if you consider how painfully similar Asgardian and Jotun really were. ]

Watching is a curse. Seeing is an ability only some have.

[ Just that one of them are being glorified while the others are being deemed gruesome monsters. He shall remain in his little fort of self hatred and denial that is his false Aesir skin, thank you very much. ]

And despite saying this you still harbor doubt that I will successfully maintain my position. Peculiar.

[ Oh, Loki. Travel outside of Vanaheim and Asgard and see how many other realms truly glorify the Asdardian people. They have more enemies that you can imagine. ]

I'm willing to say you can figure out why.

[ Unfortunately all those opinions don't matter much over his own. And he was raised by Asgardian standards. With Asgardian stories. And Asgardian ideals. Shedding those off completely may take a few centuries. ]

You are calling me blind?

I'm calling you conflicted. Your mischief will only go so far before you begin to destroy yourself more than others.

[ He laughs at that. Though it's a short and clearly faux laugh. ]

So this is how Laufey, King of Jotunheim sees me? Please, now you are underestimating by capabilities.

Am I. [ A beat ] What did Odin tell you about why you were under his keep?

[ That sudden silence? A clear score for you, old man. He sure hadn't expected you to pick up on Frigga's style of making him question himself.

He is not giving you that satisfaction of showing that inner turmoil you just stirred up with one simple question.

Instead? His voice remains controlled. Too controlled. ]

Because you left me to die.

[ And this is the first time he actively admits a certain relation to you. And he hates it. ]

[ Now we're going to have some fun. Father/Son bonding. Better late than never, right? ha ha ha. ]

Do you believe him?

[ This may not bode well, but you sure have his attention. ]

I do not see why he would have lied to me about that.

[ Aside from the fact that Odin had lied to him all his life before that, of course. ]

What are you trying to tell me?
