vt // on the ending of thor:tdw (possible spoilers in comments)

[illusoried]

Well, it's just as I said, isn't it?

[A sardonic smile.]

I didn't do it for him.

Comments

[emptytheclip]

So what'd you do to him?

[Sure, Raleigh was just a mortal, but he was one of the mortals who had closed a breach between worlds. That counted for something.]

[illusoried]

[ Very valid point.

And a shame, that Loki sees him solely for the first bit mentioned. ]

I don't know what you mean by that.

[emptytheclip]

Yeah. Sure.

[This is Raleigh's unconvinced face.]

[illusoried]

Disbelieving, are we? I speak only the truth.

[ Which is a lie in and of itself. ]

[emptytheclip]

You say what suits you.

[Still not convinced. He learned to mistrust that tone a long time ago.]

[illusoried]

[ And no one would blame him. This is Loki, after all. ]

All these falsities against me; you wound me, mortal.

[emptytheclip]

All these falsities. [Raleigh echoed the words, amused.] You're protesting a lot for someone who isn't "wounded."

[thunderboltsandlightning]

For nearly a moment, I had thought you meant it for me.

[He's a fool. He knows this. He just never learns.]

[illusoried]

Such naiveté. [ That he'd been counting on, truth be told. ]

You really should work on that, brother.

[ A notable emphasis on that last word. It's akin to a snake spitting venom. ]

[thunderboltsandlightning]

When this trickery is discovered, there will be no where you may hide from me. What is it you have done with him?

[illusoried]

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. [ He's been right under your nose since his supposed "death", after all. ]

-- Is that it? Did you really think it'd be that simple, Thor?

[wizard_redfive]

And no one was surprised.

[Well, Dairine wasn't anyway. Then again, she didn't trust Loki as far as she could throw him. Which considering her size, isn't very far at all.]

[illusoried]

Do you mean to say that I've become predictable?

What a pity. [ Although, he's only half-serious about that. He does get his kicks out of throwing people for a loop, after all. ]

[wizard_redfive]

You were always predictable.

[To a certain extent at least. Hard to keep away from the trickster god reputation.]
