on getting his hammer back

[not_taserproof]

Your patronizing does little to amuse, mundane. To to reclaim what is mine knowing it is only so because you saw fit to move it within my reach? A most hollow victory, knowing that reclaiming Mjolnir will not bring me any closer to returning to Asgard.

No. You are right. This is enough, for now. But do not mistake this for satisfaction. And know that when I do make my return, I do not intend to do so alone.

My brother will return, one day. I am certain of it.

[traitors]

Some would call that delusional, to be so certain of my eventual return.

[not_taserproof]

You prove my point in effort to disprove it? Contrary as ever.

[ Good thing Loki being female is nothing new. ]

[traitors]

Contrariness is one of my many skills, oft-practiced and honed to an art. I am, shall we say, contrary out of sheer spite.

You may at least be assured that I have no current desire to claw your eyes out. It may change in moments or days, though, one never knows. They're very blue, after all.

[not_taserproof]

And yours ever-green. I should have guessed at the meaning of that before now, how well you've always worn that shade of envy.

[wasp_stings]

Wait...does that mean you lost your hammer, Thor?

[not_taserproof]

It is not lost.

I know exactly where it is.

[wasp_stings]

...but it's been out of your reach though?

[She's just trying to comprehend this.]

[ex_flyting687]

You say "return" as though he's always belonged to you.

[not_taserproof]

Loki.

[ Another of these fragile moments. It seems at any moment he could say the wrong thing and Loki will take it and twist it and lash out in anger and hurt. It's a familiar dance, but not one he's fond of. ]

You do belong. You always have, even if you refuse to lay claim to those bonds any longer.

[ex_flyting687]

Sometimes I forget just how dull your mind can be. And then you kindly, so kindly, will come and remind me. You haven't changed much.

Tsk.

[Loki's got his face schooled in slightly mocking lines - just slightly. There's even a little bit of fondness.]

How have you been doing, Thor?

[beguilement]

[ Oh, isn't that just like Thor to never be satisfied with what he's given. ] Your optimism and nativity are almost and endearing quality. [ Brother. ]

[not_taserproof]

Enough. I have no wish to begin old quarrels anew.

[beguilement]

Then perhaps you should behave a little differently and not present that side so openly.

[lunging]

What happened to Mjolnir?

[not_taserproof]

Fandral!

[ Oh, he's never been happier to see someone from home. It's been months. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY. ]

It is...a complicated matter, my friend. But never mind that, it will be resolved soon enough.

[lunging]

[HOORAY HAPPY he is huggable, you know, have at!]

No one else has been wielding the hammer?

[deformed]

Why can't you go back?

[not_taserproof]

The city's boundaries are woven with strange enchantments. Mjolnir may pierce the veil between worlds, but it is still uncertain if my father will even allow it.

[deformed]

Oh. Do you need his permission to go back?

[ms_calculation]

Are you? So certain.

Suppose he doesn't return.

It hardly seems like it'd be a loss.

[not_taserproof]

If you had grown up alongside him, perhaps you would feel differently.

[ms_calculation]

[ She sighs. It almost seems overdone. ]

I suppose you're right.

Family is so important, after all.

[notjust_alady]

But will he return knowing what he must atone for?

[not_taserproof]

It was Loki who told me, Sif. He confessed.

[notjust_alady]

I see.

[One half of her is still beyond angry, the other.. well, Loki was once her friend, too. That part of her wished for his return, and life on Asgard would resume as it once had.

Perhaps a fools dream?]

Does he at least show remorse for his actions?
