Loki hates splitting the muse!couch with Jason Stackhouse. The End.

[slaegr]

If there's one thing that I imagine you should have realised about me by now ...

[ Loki's expression is cool neutrality through and through, save for the lick of annoyance flickering around the corners of his mouth. It isn't so much unpleasant as it is threatening, either, which is possibly even more of a cause for concern. ]

It is that sharing was never one of my stronger virtues.

[ The flicker spreads into a smile — cruel, patient. ]

I trust I've made myself clear enough.

[lunging]

Sometimes you have to share, Loki.

[slaegr]

I'm afraid I've found it doesn't quite suit me.

[lunging]

Thus the "have to" part of it. It is not a choice.

[1/2]

[slaegr]

There is only choice.

[2/2]

[slaegr]

[ And then as an addendum: ]

For me.

[lunging]

[Oh okay. Play it that way, will you?]

Ah, yes. Of course. You choose to remain in Asgard and without the power of the Tesseract at hand. I should have known.

[slaegr]

[ He lifts an eyebrow, and the silence that falls between them is as tense as it is loaded. ]

... For now.

[ Fuck you very much, Fandral. ]

I wonder — how wise is it to taunt me?

[secondguessing]

I'm - not sure threats are necessary.

[slaegr]

And your uncertainty is supposed to assuage me?

[secondguessing]

I could easily rephrase if that would be helpful. Something along the lines of 'Threats are definitely unnecessary.'

[ But you seem like a dick so. ] Alternately, I might point out that threats will likely be ineffective.

[slaegr]

Oh?

[ He tilts his head just so. ]

To believe that, I have to wonder — perhaps you haven't quite yet mastered the art.

[secondguessing]

[ Be less accurate, Loki. ]

Be that as it may - art? Really, is that what you'd call it? - enough others have tried and failed.

[therealgenius]

You really haven't figured mortals out yet, have you?

[slaegr]

Because you're all simply overflowing with complexities?

[ Have a soft chuckle. ]

Please.

[therealgenius]

[Sorry, bro, Justin owns Colgate stock, that smile's not going to work.]

What happens when you, on your own, minus a weapon or magic, walk up to a mortal and tell them to kneel?

[slaegr]

[ ... Goddamnit. ]

What happens, Mr. Hammer, is entirely dependent on their response.

[therealgenius]

[Look at that asshole face of Justin's. It's so just...douchey. His face is like Eddie Brock from Spider-Man 3 level of pure, unbridled, unfiltered douche. That is a lot of douche.]

Which is...being looked at like a lunatic and pushed aside, isn't it?

[spiderhorse]

[Look who came out.

Long enough to stay away and not be able to be touched by mother.]

not here obv

[slaegr]

omg did you just do that

[spiderhorse]

[MOMMY I DON'T CARE HOW MAD UNCLE FANDRAL IS YOU ARE MAGNETIC AND ALSO MY MOTHER AND I LOVE YOU AND your face is now covered in drool and I am chewing on your hair omg]

WEL I did the base a while ago and just add accessories to suit the moment B'( I have a problem k

[slaegr]

[ MY PRECIOUS SWEET BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

wipes face

holds so close and tender

Just don't eat all my hair k because the dwarves probably won't spin me any more like that time with Sif. ]

Do you always wear such frilly pink aprons Loki or were you expecting Fandral...

[spiderhorse]

[HE'S NOT EATING IT

He's gnawing on it, nomnom, greasy strands of long black greasy hair being chewed on by FREAKISH NIGHTMARE MONSTER HORSE TEETH but omg he loves you Mom

He loves you

Even though you did like nothing for him

never let go Mommy also you might have lice he can't tell yet]

[brosif]

You have stronger virtues?

[slaegr]

The fact that you choose not to see them, Lady Sif, does not mean they not there.

[brosif]

Choice and sight have very little to do with one another. I see the sun in the sky because it is there. I see the halls of Asgard because they stand under my feet. I do not see your virtues because there has been nothing of virtue to you for a very long time.
