Oh, you are a quaint little thing, aren't you? Full of ideas that are naught but maybes and considerations thrown out almost as soon as they appear, childish dreams pinned against hope. You should tread carefully: dream and hope might play at being the best of friends, but the one would betray the other as soon as opportunity presents itself, and opportunity is nothing if not fond of making an appearance.

—Still, you need not worry about dissuasion on my part. I've much to finish and, ah, set to rights. Interruptions and distractions are the boon of the idle and the unfocussed, and I assure you I am neither.

Did you just actually tell your mundane that it is foolish to have hopes and dreams?

[troublemakes]

I told her to be careful with them. One wouldn't argue against that, surely?

[fotlenke]

I am that one.

If you bind hope and dreams, you almost strip them of their purpose.

[troublemakes]

The one that stands alone against the might of the many? I'd have pinned the desire to argue for recklessness on another entirely, but if you must insist. [ beat. ] I care little for her purpose, if one can even speak of it and her in the same sentence.

[fotlenke]

I even speak of it and her in the same sentence. [challenging.]

[troublemakes]

Are you after congratulations for your willingness to speak in ignorance?

[fotlenke]

No. I'm seeking to silence that silver tongue for just a blessed moment. Ignorance is bliss, do you not know?

[troublemakes]

I can't claim intimate familiarity, no.

[mouthwithamerc]

Man. You're like a magical, extra flamboyant fortune cookie. Or Yoda. Just a little taller.

[troublemakes]

But less edible, I'm afraid.

YODA ISN'T EDIBLE YOU MONSTER. God, no wonder Thor wants your head mounted on to his wall.

[mouthwithamerc]

...oh. wait. You meant the...right. Heh. My bad.

I totally didn't mean that thing about Thor.

[troublemakes]

Oh, but I'm still a monster?

[berserkergang]

You have much to set to rights, brother.

[troublemakes]

Then I best not delay, if even the great Thor agrees with me.

[berserkergang]

If only that were so. What is it you seek to 'finish'? Your ill-fated rule? Our battle?

[troublemakes]

All of that which I have right to, rule and otherwise.

[proved]

As if you can truly make amends for all you have done, or have others believe it was undertaken honestly.

[troublemakes]

Amends come in all shapes and sizes, they are not but one.

[proved]

And worthless if not truthfully meant. None in Asgard will ever think you fully repentant.

[troublemakes]

Is your mind that small that Asgard is all you can think of, all you can imagine?

spoilers alright or?

[proved]

Asgard has my loyalty, my vows, and my blade in its service. What need have I for others?

not a problem at all!

[troublemakes]

I was under the impression that ignorance was a trait even Asgard's finest warriors had little need for, but I must have been mistaken.

[proved]

There exists a difference between ignorance and dedication, one which you have clearly never found if all your aspirations end in defeat.

It does not matter now, Loki, what other worlds you can conceive of - it is unlikely that you will ever see them again.

[troublemakes]

Do you think I'm going to spend the rest of eternity chained like some pet in need of house training? You ought to ask Heimdall one day not what it is he sees, but what it is he cannot see.
