on revelations and surprises;

It stings, doesn't it? Knowing that somewhere out there, in a different universe, you contend not just against Thor but a brother who is more kin to him than you will ever be. And it's insult to injury that Thor never knew until now, that he might choose this Odinson over you.

So it seems you're right, mortal woman - my feelings for the Bright One will always be constant and consistent throughout the realms.

What say you now?

You decided long ago to set yourself against us. And though it is against the better judgement of all, Thor has continually welcomed you back.

[ except for that bit where he beheaded you but details. ]

The failure of your brotherhood rests on your shoulders, not those of Balder or of Thor.

[Okay, now this makes sense.]

It dawns to me that I might not be the Loki you know. My bad, as they would say in Midgard, but nevertheless - did it surprise you?

What I did. Did you in all your good hearts and kindness think it wouldn't happen?

[ it does give her pause, but only briefly ]

And yet you are still Loki and with the name there has never been but trouble far behind.


No. Though I cannot speak for Thor, and would not dream of doing such with you, no.

[Loki heaves a soft, though somehow dramatic, sigh.]

Sometimes I wonder if I am as much a fool as I claim everyone else to be. Answers like that — goodness. It makes me nearly sad to hear them.
