Regarding the dramatic events of JiM643
Nay, I'll not believe it.
[ and this is loki, for once ..
.. having absolutely nothing to say.
unbelievable, isn't it. ]

[An event for the history books, definitely.
Thor being speechless isn't quite as notable, but he's struggling for words all the same. Struggling not to listen to the I-should-have-known-this-would-happen. It would be nice to make an unrelated comment, to avoid the issue for a little while longer.
But Thor is nothing if not forthright. But he is also not without insight enough to see that Loki's complaints, whether true or not, are not wholly imagined. ]
It was not my intent to bring you back only to leave you.

[ and ever his opposite, loki is subtle for all that thor is forthright.
which means that he will dance around this as much as possible, and give nothing away, for ignoring the issue at hand is not an option. ]
Your intentions hardly matter now, brother. The point is moot.

[Loki's words sit heavy on him. When it comes to Loki, all Thor ever has had are intentions. He loves his brother -has always loved his brother- but has ever been fighting him or working to undo the mischief he has done, because Asgard and duty must come before his own needs or wants.]
You speak as though all is already done and set in stone.

[ loki knows about intentions. and if his short life has taught him anything, it is that they do not matter. results are all that anyone sees, all that anyone cares about; the blood, the sweat, the tears, all of the efforts and all of the sacrifices do not matter, or so it seems to him. he has never expected otherwise. ]
Oh, but it is. Laid out in print on paper, for lack of a better metaphor - but nonetheless, what is done is done.

[Thor is not a thinker. But he has existed long enough to know that there is an undeniable pull of fate on their lives.
As Gods they do not quite have the freedom mortals do to live as they like. There are stories -themes- which influence their lives; themes which have repeated since time began. The cycle of Ragnarok. A father's death at the hands of his son. The eternal battle of Good against Evil.

It may be done, yet that does not mean it should be so.

[ fate indeed, and loki feels its cold and unforgiving chains binding him tightly, inescapably.
but loki is ever good at escaping all things, at wriggling away from even the grasping, greedy hands of fate. or so ikol would have him believe. but loki does not betray his thoughts, or his feelings, or his intentions; he gives only an easy shrug, casual, as if there is no weight to any of this. ]
If I had a drop of water for every thing that should not be, why, brother, I would be drowning in a great sea! Think what you will, and so will I; as far as the matter of this unpleasantness goes, there is but one thing that we can do: wait. All will be revealed in time, or so they say.

[When it comes to waiting to see how things will turn out that affect the lives of his friends and family, Thor hates waiting more than a child the night before Christmas.]
You know you may ask anything of me and I put myself to it.
Well- almost anything. [Is that a terrible attempt at a joke? Probably. It's also probably too soon to be making it. Luckily Thor isn't planning to quit his dayjob.]

[ yes yes, thor, the ever impatient. and yet loki has patience to spare, and he will wait, and watch, and see, without complaint.
of course, it isn't particularly easy, in this case. ]
Almost anything, of course. But no, Thor, there is nothing that I could ask for that you are capable of giving me.

[Oh, the irony of having the power due him as Thunder God and son of Odin and being unable to use it in any useful manner.]
Very well, so long as you know.
[He doesn't know what to say. He doesn't know if there is anything to say. Words aren't his strength, after all.]

[ to be fair, even loki is at a loss for words. or, moreso, there really is nothing that can be said to remedy any of this, or change this strange thing they are facing. not yet. my, you could cut this tension with a knife, couldn't you? they're buried to their ears in awkward.
it's a strange and foreign feeling, being awkward with thor. something he's never felt before. ]
I suppose that this is farewell for now, then. Until when, even I cannot say.

[Thor had been too young and foolhardy to notice when his brother had first become so discontented with things as they were that his tricks had changed from pranks for their own sake to vengeful and hate-filled. He had not noticed until far later that his brother was no longer who he'd thought he was.
He will not be so inattentive now.]
Nay. You shall not be so easily rid of me, brother. Not here, at least.

[ attentive thor may be, but is it perhaps too little too late? ]
No? How do you propose to detain me? Must I find another conveniently placed lava pool to upend you into?

Ah.
Well I cannot find fault in that. Forever makes liars of us all, after all, and if nothing else we are inexplicably twined! We simply cannot seem to be rid of one another, you and I.

Of course you wouldn't.
[ which is what started this entire mess, to begin with. as the all father said: he simply can't stand the quiet. ]

My lord ...
[Give him a second.
I wish I were there to offer you what aid I could.
[Give him a second.

...You'd be right to. From what I hear, your brother rarely is straightforward.
[That brings a hint of a smile to his face. Possibly the last smile for a while, he thinks.
And now that business has been dealt with, Thor will allow himself to mention other important matters.]
You trained Thori well.
[It's an important matter to Mjolnir's handle.]

[ hey hey, mjolnir's handle is just fine okay. it's the hammer of the gods and all that, it can stand up to a little rambunctious chewing! ]
Ah, all it took was a little patience, and a little understanding. And, perhaps, a little intuitiveness. Thori is a good dog.
[ he will stand by that forever okay. ]

N--No, but my mun likes to read about your adventures.
