on the Thor 2 trailer. (homeless, possibly looking?)

Speak of Jane's courage, Mundane. Speak of the peerless Lady Sif and the Warriors Three; speak of noble Heimdall and of the King and Queen Eternal. Speak of me, if you must. But speak not of he whom you know nothing.

I will say it once, and once only: if fraternal bonds once joined brother and brother, then let that memory rest forever in a plinth wrought of joy alone. But to shackle myself now, when the bonds would affix to one but not the other, would be akin to offering my own flesh again as sheathe to the blade that will not change its course.

For am I not the son of Odin? He whose youth was fraught with battle and glory, fueled not only by wisdom but so too by righteous rage? Certainly, I am yet his lesser — in all but the latter.

The Bash Buddies are back!

And does that mean you are willing, truly willing, to kill him back?

[Because yeah, Herc could kill Loki. Herc could kill Loki every day of the week and thrice on Thursdays, but he respected Thor's dibs on dealing with his wayward brother. And Herc very much doubted, even now, that Thor could bring himself to do what had to be done in order to make Asgard a much safer but somewhat less interesting place.]

If you are prepared to kill him, if you are able to make it stick, I'd not dispute that action. But the worst possible thing you could do, for yourself and your shining city, is to simply lock the Trickster away and ignore him. He'll only get worse if left alone- and take all his ravenous need for attention out on your home.

On the contrary, inflicting affection and imprisonment on him in one fell swoop- while forcing everyone else to see his plight- would likely be a fate far worse than death to him; you may not have noticed, but he clings to dignity dearer than life. And demolishing that, you may stand a chance of getting through to him.
